AT SAN FRANCISCO.

According to the San Francisco
Bulletin, it has leaked out in that
city that Minister Damon's visit to
London, while ostensibly to at
tend the Queens Jubilee, is really
for the purpose of floating the Hs.
waiiah refunding bonds. In the
same article it is said that the, Ha.
waiian misunderstanding to the
Japanese claim - is regarded in
San Francisco as being serious.
George w. Macfarlane Of Homo
lulu, who was interviewed, said
Hawaii could not pay Japan $780,
600 at present and would not like
ly do 80 if she could. Inter
ference by Japan with Hawaii
would cause complications with
the United States, and he thought
Japan was not looking for trouble
with that country.
With respect to the refunding
scheme, although nothing has been
given out here, there is certainly a
strong popular impression that
Minister Damon will miss no
chance of calculating it, either in
the United States or the United
Kingdom. The Japanese question
will be no help to him in that OBJ
ject. Yet, if he can give authori-
tative assurance that the United
States will not see any injustice
done to Hawaii, capitalists either
of New York or London will pro.
badly not be afraid to touch the
offered Hawaiian security. A pre-
vailing belief here is far sstrsy if
Hawaii had not prior guarantee
from Washington that respect for
her self-protective laws would be
insisted upon by the United States
in the. event of an attempt by any
other Power to break them down.

stood that the coolies now employ
ed will be sent home as fast as
their contracts expire, and their
places filled with Americans" So
far as the Japanese are concerned
they cannot be sent home when
their contracts expire. Even the
Chinese contract laborers have
the privilege of recontracting at
the expiration of their contracts,
as an alternative to being sent
home. But there is no sending
home about it in the case of Japa-
nese. They may stay in the
country as long as they please,
doing as they please within the
laws OF this country.

finite stage, the public in most
cases have a right to be apprised
of the situation. In the case OF
the present difference between
japan and Hawaii, the gist Of the
Japanese complaint was received
here in Japanese papers before
the complaint had been presented
to the Hawaiian Government.
Perhaps this was rather previous,
and, as it was, might not have
happened only that the mail
steamers made much greater
speed across the ocean than the
Japanese cruiser that brought
the document. Be that as it may,
it further happened that the very
day the Japanese Minister com
planned, as reported in a publish
ed interview, of premature public
alton of the communications in
that afternoons papers, newspa-
pers printed in his own country
were read in Honolulu in the
morning, which gave the contents
of the Japanese communication in
substance and even partly in the
exact words. Moreover, they were
reprint reports in English papers
copied from the Japanese verns-
cular press, fact that puts their
original divulgence still farther
back. Yet they we're only smpli-
fications and extensions of reports
that had come in q mail several
weeks previously. In short, the
Japanese case was given out to
the press of Japan before the
agent bearing it to Hawaii was out
of sight of the shores of his
country.

DIPLOMATIC NEWS.

Diplomatic business is only
properly confidential with those
conducting it while under nego-
tiation or great state reasons de-
mand that it should be SO. A
large proportion Of the news of
the world consists of what trans
pires from diplomacy. Take for
example the everlasting Eastern
question. Almost daily the press
gives full reports of the contents
of diplomatic notes between the
Powers, which are often on the
street in print before the ink is
quite dry on the signatures. In
deed, it is a legitimate part of
diplomacy itself to give its work.

Der Of the British Cabinet con-

by a London club, on condition
that the gathering was to be re-
garded as strictly private. To the
horror of the hosts, however, the
statesman guests after dinner re-
marks were reported in news
paper next day and telegraphed
all over the continent and
to South Africa. An investiga-
ton disclosed the fact, obtained
from the club steward, that a
strange young man had quietly
passed into the banquet room, as
if he had right there, and been
seen to take notes. 1t was further
satisfactorily established that no
member of the club had been in
collision with the apparent breach
of confidence, but the fact that the
Minister proved in nowise annoyed
about the matter, with other tell
tale evidence, made it clear that the
speech was reported at the instance
of the speaker. His remarks con-

WOKE Up THE WRONG MAN.
Police After an EmbezxIer, But
Didn't Have the Right Name.

The detectives were called out OF their
beds early yesterday morning by tele-
gram from Deputy Sheriff Vinzant Of
jacksonville. requesting them to meet the
Florida trains and arrest John A. Smith,
whose description was given. who was
said to be wanted in Jacksonville for the
larceny OF 1890
The detectives met the Plant system
train, but did not find anyone answering
the description on board. They found,
however. that there was passenger on
board named John S. Smith, who had gone
to the Pulaski They at once called upon
Mr. Smith at the Pulaski. thinking that
the change OF one initial was a very
small matter to a man who was clipping
with $780, They found Mr.. Smith IN his
room. lie did not answer the description
given in the telegram by a good deal.
The detectives explained the cause OF the
intrusion, but this did not tend to make
Mr. Smith pleased with his early morn
ing call. Naturally he was somewhat
wroth.
After leaving the Pulaski the detectives
met the Florida. Central and Penins1iar
train from Jacksonville and learned that

state department. and he felt that it
should be examined carefully before ac-
ton was taken
This led Mr. Allen to a warm criticism
of the premeditated purpose of the state
department to keep the Senate in ignor-
ance.
MIR. Foraker dlsclaimed having said
anything to warrant a statement that the
executive or state department withheld
information from the Senate or desired
delay. Speaking of the policy of the adj
minstration, he said; 80 far as the adj
mifiistration is concerned. il is not under
taking to shirk its duty as to Cuba. On
the contrary. the administration has its
policy in regard to that question, and in
due time 1t will take its action In cor
respondence with that policy"
May l be permitted to ask" inquired
Mar. Allen, what is the policy of the ad-
mipistration in respect to Cuban"
1.-THE policy of the administration said
Mr. Foraker, "as / understand it. is to
ascertain at once, beyond peradventure
what are the exact conditions existing in
Cuba. II has taken steps in that direc-
ton it has sent it's duly authorized
agent there to make the inquiry 1t will
be but a short time until a report is
made to the administration, a report made
by the administration own representa-
tive, a report on which the administration
will feel warranted in taking action"
Mr.. Mills, dem, of Texas, said 1t was
rather a late day to stop and inquire
whether war existed in Cuba. The state
department was not the only source of in
formation. We know just as well that
war exists in Cuba as that war exists in
Greece, or that an overflow has occurred
on the Mississippi river Moreover. the
Senate was precluded from questioning
the facts. as ii has already passed a con-
current resolution declaring that a state
of war exists in Cuba.
Mr.. Lodge of Massachusetts, a member
of the committee on foreign relations,
stated that there was late information in
the possession Of the state department,
which was most important and should be
given to congress and the country before
the passage of these resolutions. Under
the last administration. he said. the Sem
ate had been kept in the dark as to Cuba,
but he did not believe there was any dis
position on the part of the present admin
istration to withhold any information from
congress or the country. He believed the
information now at hand would strengthen
the resolution, as il would then have be-
hind II the support of our consuIs and
officials.
Mr. Stewart, pop. Of Nevada, argued
that il would be as wise to collect evil
dence that the sun shines as to seek fur
ther to show that war was going on in
Cuba
The Cuban resolution was laid aside TO
permit the conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill 20 be considered. The
report was concurred in and the items
of disagreement sent back to conference.

ecutive session, and, at o'clock p. m,
