SENATOR WHITE AGAIN.

Reiterates His Statements on Hawaiian
Annexation.
NEW YORK, November 25.-Stephen
M. White, Senator from California, tele-
graphs the following to the Herald: II
am confident that less than two-thirds.
of the Senators really favor the Ha-
waiian treaty. This does not mean 1t
may not be ratified. There ought to be
no politics involved, but the indica-
tions are that the Republicans will be
cOecrced to support the measure, Votes
favoring ratification will be given by
some who do not believe in the pro-
ject.
Personally / antagonize the pro-
gram. The Islands are useless for de-
fensive purposes. useless from an econ
omic view, will contribute nothing to
national morals or wealth, and will add
an undesirable element to an already
sufficiently burdened population. The
islanders are hostile to the treaty and
annexation involves a disregard Of
their rights. We are offered buc-
cancer title only.
"The cry that the sugar trust op-
poses annexation is answered by the
fact that about every sugar and other
trust supporter who has vote on the
subject advocates annexation. The
scheme is contrary to wisely establish
ed precedents and teachings OF our
fathers, who owned no Hawaiian PLAN
tations, and who are opposed to a po-
Icy that must eventuate in immense
naval and army expenditures and con-
sequent onerous taxation"

there was no one at the National capi-

Mr.. Marsden feels confident that An

February. He learned that it was the
intention of those who will handle the
treaty in the Senate to present it at
once. Congress convenes today.
There will be very determined oppo-

are against Annexation. The tactics

Marsden talked Annexation all along
the route. 1t was his experience and
observation that all who had given the
question any consideration were in
favor of the treaty. Others when in
formed readily became converts. The
commissioner explained that of course
it might not be good idea for the
United States to construct Islands in
the Pacific, but so long as they existed
and were practically American they
should have the stars and stripes at
the masthead.

pany Seeks Recommendation.
SENATOR WHITE TALKS AGAIN
Spain Has Granted Cuba Autonomy
Cubans Say Independence
orDeath.

NEW YORK, November 26.-The
Washington correspondent of the Her
aid is authority for the following:
The desire of the British Government
is that the United States shall author
ize British company to land a cable
on one of the Hawaiian Islands, this
cable going to Canada and Australia.
Such authorization is opposed by the
rench Government, on the ground that
the laying of cable with British capi-
tai would place Great Britain in con-
troll of a telegraph system reaching
around the entire world, and, in the ev-
ent of war, before message could be
transmitted the British Governments
consent would have to be obtained.
In case Great Britain were engaged
in hostilities, diplomat pointed out, it
would be practically impossible for
France to send message over any ca
BILE which did not pass through British
territory, except that which connects
France and Cape Cod, Mass.
NJ Patenotre has made representa-
ton of the subject to Secretary Sher-
man, who said he did not think it
would make much difference. This Gov
ernment could use it, if it desired, and
in case of necessity an opposition line
could be established.
The French officials, however, point
out that in case Of war involving the
United States, the government would
find itself handicapped, If the cable
were under British control
Information has been received here
that agents of the British company in
terested in the cable enterprise, and the
Consul General of Great Britain in Ho-
nolulu, are making a determined eff
fort to secure recommendation from
the Dole authorities to the United
States that the British company be al
lowed to land a cable. Mr.. Sewall, the
diplomatic representative of this Gov
ernment to Hawaii, is wholly opposed
to the granting of such permission, on
the ground that such action would be
prejudicial to the interests Of his Gov
ernment It is impossible for the Dole
authorities to give permission to lay a
cable, on account of the reciprocity
treaty between Hawaii and the United
States.

but sells it for from So to $40 an acre
and gives 20 years time to pay for it
in. The amount which any one man
can get it's limited, so that spectators
cannot get hold of it, and so it only
goes to actual settlers who intend
to do some work on it. The idea is to
keep the land in the hands of those
only who intend to work it, so that en-
terprise may not be paralyzed.
Twenty acres of coffee land carefully
cultivated will in five years yield a
man an income of from $4,000 to $4,000
year. and a man with a capital Of
from $4,000 to $4,000 can easily get
along. This amount is enough to take
up fifty acres of land, and sometimes
man can get along with less money.
He can do this if he has not family.
While he is waiting for his coffee trees
