NO COOPERATION
Aloha Alma Will Not Join
With Portuguese.
Invitation to Have Union Mass
Meeting Declined.

The invitation of the Portuguese
Union to the Aloha Alma Society to
join in a grand mass-meeting demon
stration against Japanese immigration
has been declined by the latter body.
The invitation was submitted to Mr..
J. X. Kaulia, president of the Aloha
Alma, by Mr.. ]. NJ. Vivas, president Of
the union. Mr.. Kaulia turned it over
TO his Executive Committee, and that
body drafted the decision not to CO.
operate with the Portuguese.
The idea of the union was to hold the
meeting under the auspices of both the
organizations. A resolution protesting
against the further importation of jap
anese for labor purposes, and also pc
titioning the Government to take such
steps as would check free immigration,
endorsed by both societies, was the
purpose. The leaders of the union felt
that the endorsement of the prominent
native society would add weight TO the
memorial.
Speaking of the matter last night,
Mr. Kaulia said:
I'VE refused to cooperate with the
Portuguese because we see no way of
checking Japanese immigration. save
by annexation to the United States.
Annexation is contrary to our TollCy,
and we must decline TO assist in any
measure calculated to bring it about.
OF course, we realize the gravity Of the
situation with respect to the Japanese.
But what are we to do? What is the
Government to do? The Government is
powerIess in the matter. japanese i'm
migration can be checked only By
breaking the existing treaty with Jap
an The power that does this must be
strong enough to take the conse-
quenceS.
Mr.. Vivas is on Hawaii. Just what
course he will now take some OF his
closest friends do not know. The mass
meeting will likely be called under
strictly Portuguese auspices

SPAIN WEAKENS.
Requests the Opinion OF Minister Tay-
lor on Proposed Reforms.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 7-Secretary of
State Olney has received dispatch from
the American Minister, Hannis Taylor. in
Madrid. announcing that the Spanish
Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Duke of
Tetuan, had formally invited him to give
an opinion of the Porto Rico reforms as
a practical measure of self-government
for Cuba.
The Duke of Tetuan then asked Minis
ter Taylor his opinion of the greater re-
forms for Cuba promised in the preamble
to the declaration of the Porto Rico re-
forms. The Minister replied that the
forms were too vague to inspire any con-
fidence in America.
The Minister urged the Spanish Gov
eminent to make a definite declaration of
it's purpose to grant full local self-gov-
eminent to Cuba, coupled with economic
reforms, as a basis for negotiating peace.
Secretary Olney was delighted at the
news that Spain had at last officially rec
ogniZed the consultive rights of the Am
erican Government in the settlement of
the Cuban war. He at once laid Minister
Taylor's message before the President.
After a consultation with Mr.. Cleveland.
Secretary Olney cabled to Minister Tay-
lor, saying:
Your opinion emphatically endorsed"
and instructed the Minister to urge upon
the Spanish Government the necessity for
prompt action.
The Importance of the news can hardly
be exaggerated. 1t is the first step to-
ward the acceptance of American media

PACIFIC CABLE PROJECT.
Serious Obstacles in the Way of the
Nancouver-Australfa Scheme.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7-Advices from
London regarding the report of the Pa
cific Gable Commission, which was signed
yesterday, in regard to all British cables
from Vancouver to Australia, state that
il is understood that the Commission will
require that the project must have the
approval of the colonial cabinets and the
necessary votes of the colonial legisla-
lures.
1t is believed, however, that Canada
will not take it's share of the burden, and
that in Australia the present English
cable monopoly is so strong that it
prevent the New Zealand and Australian
legislatures approving the project.
Therefore it is said the only hope for
the successful establishment of Pacific
cable depends on the action of the United
States Congress.

MACEO'S DEATH DENIED.
Another Report that the Cuban Leader
still Lives.


LONDON, Jan. THE Times Will to-
morrow publish a dispatch from it's Ha-
vana correspondent, dated January 9Th.
In ii he says he learns from private
and generally trustworthy source that
Antonio Maceo, who was reported to have
been killed through treachery at Punta
Bravo, is still living. He is severely
wounded but is making favorable pro-
gresS toward recovery. The correspondent
adds that he himself thinks il unlikely
that Maceo is alive, but says 1t is not
improbable.
He also says that the return OF Captain
General Weyler to Havana without fore
ing the rebels in Pinar del Rio to sur
render may be regarded as proof OF his
failure.
1t is officially reported that Gomez, with
a large force of rebels, is in the province
of Santa Clara, advancing westward.
Insurgents completely destroyed the lit
tie town of Baine. province of Havana
on January 4th.

SKATING RECORDS GO DOWN
Many New Figures Established by
the Swedish Champion.
A Large Crowd Watched the Fin
ish of Lawson's Splendid Effort
at the Ice Palace.

John Lawson, the Terrible Swede,'
proved his wonderful endurance at the Ice
Palace last evening by a wholesale break
age of records.
From the start, at 5:15 O'Clock, the
sturdy Scandinavian held his splendid pace
with clock-like regularity firing out four
pacemakers, who appeared from time to
time, and finishing the fiftieth mile ap-
parenuy as fresh and strong as at the
start. A large crowd was on hand to see
the finish, for aside from the interest in
the event. the Swede has won warm
place in the affections Of the local skating
public because OF his gentlemanly conduct
during every competition in which he
has entered.
When il was announced that every
record, from the ten-nile up, had been
lowered, the applause was long and en-
thusiastic, and Lawson was almost over
whelmed by congratulations as he left the
ice and made his way 10 the dressing rooms
For the first twelve miles there was no
pacemaking, yet at the conclusion OF the
hour seventeen miles had been covered, a
most remarkable performance. The same
steady, swinging pace was kept up mile
after mile, and the time for each lap and
mile was equally uniform, the average
being 1886 for the whole distance.
Shortly before 6 o'clock, Hawes took a
turn at setting the pace, giving way to
Wyman after a few miles, who was also
laid low by the strain after half an
hours woIk. Champion Sites and Joe
Cassin finished with a clipping pace, which
undoubtedly helped the Swede along
The first hours work showed plainly
that the professional records, which have
stood for seventeen years, " ould be broken.
but the most sanguine scarcely hoped that
Donoghue's amateur time of 3:15:59 . D,
made on quarter-mile track, would he
lowered.
Yet this remarkable feat was per.orue,
with = minutes ard A. sec Ouds to spare
while the professional figures were cut
down by j hour, % minutes, 81 12 Sec
onds. These records VIII undoubtedly stand
for many years to come, unless lowered
by Lawson himself, as there is probably 10
skater in the world capable Of standing
the terrific strain so we'll.
4 fact which makes the lowering of the
records even more remarkable is that Law
son was suffering from a very sore left
foot, the result of his constant skating
during the past three weeks.
