BOSTON, Jan. 1e.--Queen Liliuoka-
lani deposed queen OF the Hawaiian
islands, refuses to be interviewed upon
the death of the late Minister Willis.
Her private secretary. ]. A. Palmer, in
referring. however, to the subject today,
said: Whether Minister Willis was sent
out with sealed instructions to restore
Queen Lliuokalani to her throne on con :
ddtion that she grant amnesty to those
concerned in setting up the provisional
government, is known only to President
Cleveland and the late minister"
In regard 30 the oft-repeated story
concerning the queens refusal to grant
the requested amnesty, Mr.. Palmer
said: Had the queen regained her
throne, the leaders would, perhaps,
have been punished, but there was no
more danger of their being beheaded
than there would have been in Boston"

THE CUBANS WANT FREEDOM
And Nothisg Short Of II Will Be

Th. Annexation Party Headed by Spaniards
From Europe
II the Sleeping Annexation Feeling
Be Once Aroused No Power On

Rapid Progress

Associated Press Special Wire
KEY WEST, Fla. Jan. 16.-The fol-
lowing advices have just been received
from Havana:
La Lucha, in an editorial, says that
If Spain accepts the intervention of the
United States, even though this shall
be indirect and friendly in plan and
scope, the Cuban reforms must necessar-
lily be in danger, because Of the foment-
ing of the annexation idea amongst Eu-
ropean Spaniards, who for some time
past have felt in sympathy with such a
movement. This was shown, according
to the editorial, in 1864 when a large
number of Spanards and Europeans.
representing great part of the wealth of
Cuba, mo- to give form and expression
to this idea. They could not realize this
object because of the opposition of the
Cubans who were invited to attend the
meeting"
Continuing. the article says the Gu
bans feel jealousy and repulsion toward
the Americans. This is shown in all their
acts. Cubans never have felt anything
except pronounced Cuban sentiment.
On the other hand European Spaniards,
since 1885, have shown their liking for
all Americans, believing their interests
lie in that direction. They are also of
the opinion that labor would be better
guaranteed under American ruling.
The editorial says that for many years
something mysterious has been attract
ing European Spaniards toward the
Yankees. Possibly this is due to in
stinct of self-preservation and contin~
ued commercial relations and business
intercourse between the Spaniards resid-
ing in Cuba and their correspondents in
America
They felt alarmed lest in future their
business would not be dependent upon
Madrid and would conclude the exist
ing condition of affairs by giving form
to the annexationist ideas already in
existence. although rather dormant.
They would be glad to arouse among all
higher classes of the Spanish element
the sleeping idea of annexation; this
would be so productive and transcend
ant that In few years it would evoke
an inevitable explosion of annexation
Ideas which no power on earth would BE-
able to contend with when once devel-
oped.
The article has caused a dprofoun
sensation throught Cuba

among the educated and professional

In some villages one out of every ten in

there are many more secret adherents.
A notable accession to the cause is
Prince Dimitri Chilkoff. The houses of
suspected persons are being searched.
TolstoPs works are conflscated and the
owners are entered in the police black
book. Some active Tolstoists have
mysteriously disappeared from Paw
loka, and it Is feared that they have
been sent to Siberia. Others have had
their children taken away from them.
1t is stated that the council of state has
considered the question of Tolstoi's ex-
pulsion, and only refrains lest an at
tack on so great an authority and
thinker should rally forces to his side.

BEWARE THE CAT
Sailormen Object to the Restoration of
Marine Flogging

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-A Cleveland
dispatch says that Senators Frye and
Hale. who were responsible for the SEN
ute substitute for house bill No. 1868
which restored fiogging in the merchant
marine, are being severely condemned
by representatives of the 3O0, 600 mem
bers of the Western Seaman's society
and various branches. At meeting of
the local lodges of the association held
today, many prominent merchants were
present and q resolution was adopted
protesting against the law.
Senator Frye, chairman of the COM
mittee on commerce, who drew the pro-
visions of the substitute for house bill
1868, which has passed the senate, says
that the provisions Of the bill cannot be
construed to mean the restoration of
ffogging on the high seas. The provision
of the bill as 1t passed the senate, is as
follows:
Every master or other officer of an
American vessel on the, high seas or any
other waters within the admiralty and
maritime jurisdiction Of the United
States who, without justifiable cause
beats or wounds, or imprisons the mem
bers of the vessels crew or withholds
from them suitable food and nourish-
ment or inf1icts upon them any cruel
and unusual punishment, shall be pun
ished by fine of not more than $1,000
or by imprisonment of not more than
five years or BOTH"
The provision of the house bill was as
follows:
Every master or officer of any Ameri-
can vessel in the high seas or any other
waters within the admiralty and mari
time jurisdiction of the United States
who wilfully beats, wounds or without
1cff faoI Il
vessel or withholds," etc.
Senator Frye says that the house bill
would allow any sailor to attack the
master or other officer and that he could
not defend himself or his vessel The
sailors, through attorneys, have insisted
that the senate bill would restore fog
ging, but Senator Frye says that it cam
not be construed in any such manner.
The substitute was reported from the
committee on commerce December 21
last and passed the senate january. Z.

There is no initiation in anything; prices

have gained more than s300,00000O last
year in our foreign trade-a most re
markable circumstance. That is, We
have sold abroad $500, 100000 more OF
our products than we have imported
products from other countries. Money
is remarkably cheap; solvent firms have
it pressed upon them for long periods at
three per cent. Unless some surprise is
sprung upon the country, nothing can
hold it back from period of genuine
prosperity, especially since the on

PARK BONDS DEFEATED.

The park bonds of District No. 9
were defeated in caucus by ruse at the
polls last Tuesday, and the election
which followed was farce. A motion
was made in the caucus, which had the
naming Of the amount of bonds to be
voted, to make the amount $4,000 for
the purchase OF park site, and $4,000
for improvements. The motion was
amended to make the amount to be vo
ted 800 and no improvement fund, and
the amendment carried, tho opposition
to bonds being out in force for that
purpose.
The proposition before tine people
who favored the issuance of bonds
then was to vote for park site not to
cost more than 500 or not vote at all.
AS matter OF course they declined to
vote only 8 votes being recorded in
favor Of bonds, and the 9 very likely vo-
ted without properly understanding the
situation. Votes to the number of 2S5
were pellsd against bonds. The gag
rule was adopted and applied in great
shape, and those who favored park
bonds we're not allowed to vote their
sentiments. The committee of one
hundred, aided by sour grapes crowd
and few others who are opposed to
bonds of any kind on general principles,
led the opposition.
