JAPAN AND HAWAII.
minister Hoshi Denies that Ms Government 4
in Any Way Opposing Annexation.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Mr. Toru
Hoshi. the Japanese minister to the
United States, who returned to Wash
ington, Friday, after visit to Japan,
talked about the attitude of Japan
toward Hawaiian annexation. Mr..
Hoshi said that while he had no in
tention of discussing in the newspapers
the official relations of his country with
the United States, he thought that It
was due to both governments to dis
avow in the most public manner the
sentiments and designs regarding Ha-
waiian annexation frequently attrib-
uted to Japan in the press of this
country
His own return he said had been made
the occasion for the renewal of rumors
OF this description. and on that account
he felt ii to be his duty to say that il is
absolutely untrue that the japanese gov
eminent is opposing in any manner what
ever the annexation of Hawaii TO the
United States. Nothing could be further
from the truth. 1t is true that Japan. at
one time. formally protested against an
nexation, but that protest was intended
to protect certain clearly defined rights
pertaining to Japan and her people,
which momentarily appeared to be i'm
perilled.
Subsequent events, in Mr. Hoshfs opin-
4
eminent was right in the belief. fraklv
expressed in that protest. that Japan
could confidently rely upon the good feel
Ing and the good faith of the United
States TO take no hasty or ill-considered
step subversive of the rights of gov
eminent and a people with whom this
government and the American people
have always maintained the closest and
most cordial relations.
And while the question cannot yet be
regarded as definitely settled in all par
ticulars. Mr.. Hoshi said he had no hesita-
ton in expressing the firm conviction
that all matters Of mutual concern be-
tween the United States and Japan. arts
ing from the annexation of Hawaii.
would be equitably and honorably adj
justed.
To an inquiry regarding the Instructions
with which his government had iRtruSt-
ed him during his recent visit to Japan.
Mr.. Hosh said that while. of course. he
could not reveal the nature of these in
structions. ii was not improper for him
10 say that they were of kind. in his
opinion, to materially facilitate the set
Element of the questions resulting from
the annexation of Hawaii i'm which Japan
can rightfully claim 10 he interested.
Everyone acquainted with the facts
knows that such questions exist. 1T
should also be matter of common know
ledge that there is no reason why the
fun and frank discussion ana. in the end.
the just settlement of all such questions
should create the slightest friction be-
tween the two countries. That Mr.. Hoshi
says. is all there is in the annexation
question so far as Japan is concerned.

SENATOR LINDSAY o. CUsA.
Ne Is In Favor Of the Recognition Of the Island
as an Independent Republic

Frankfort, Ky. Dec. Ex-senator
William Lindsay is here attending the
United States court of appeals He
said:
Il am and have been in favor of the
recognition CT Cuba as an independ
cnt republic and believe this to be the
proper policy of our government but
l would not undertake to predict what
the action of the present Congress will
be. The freedom of Cuba is in evita-
BILE, and before two years time it Will
be seen that those people have gained
their freedom. A great difficulty has
been in getting accurate reports and
authentic information as to the true
condition of affairs, and this has stood
in the way and retarded proper
action"

Bill for It's Establishment! 10 Be Considered by
Both Branches. Today.

Washington. Dec. l2.-The bill to estab-
fish the University of the United States
will again be considered in both houses
of Congress. tomorrow. The bin in gen
eral terms provides for an institution OF
the highest possible type for the gradu-
ates of accredited colleges and univer-
stiles only with special reference 10 the
work of the original research and inves-
tigation OF important fields OF inquiry.
The government is vested in a board Of
regents and a university council. The
board of regents embraces the President
of the United States, the chief justice OF
the United States, and the commissioners
of education. the secretary of the smith
sonian institution. the president OF the
National Academy of Science, the presi-
dent of the National Educational Assoc
citation. the president of the university
and nine other citizens to be appointed
by the President by aud with the advice
and consent of the Senate. no two of
them to he from the same state.
The university council is To have i'm
mediate charge of the work of instruc-
ton research and investigation. 1t con-
sists of the regents and l. other members.
to be appointed by 10 from among emf
nent educators with n like impartial dis
tribution. All courses and officers OF in
struction are to be determined by the
council. also all regulations governing
the International management of the in
S,itution. Neither sectarian nor political
preferences is To he allowed. whether In
the appointments or in any of the opera
tons of the institution. Authority Is
given To establish with other institutions
OF learning. such cooperative relations
as are deemed advantageous.
Provision is made for the use of what Is
known as university Square the site
set apart by Washington for university
purposes and lately occupied as the naval
observatory. Congress is asked now for
but enough means to enable the board of
regents to organize and practically in
augurate the institution. Gifts and be-
quests are to be deposited in the United
States treasury and invested in bonds OF
the United States bringing per cent.
The present bill is the outgrowth Of
more than 100 years agitation. The
thought of a national university first
came to Washington while commandins
the Revolutionary army. Subsequently
as President. he repeatedly urged its es-
Establishment and in his last will and testl-
ment left $4,000 in stocks. a first en-
dowment. the interest to be compounded.
Had Congress fostered the plan this sum
would now be nearly 5000 600.
The idea thus cherished by the father
of his country was also Endorsed by Presi-
dents John Adams, Jefferson, Madison.
Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and Jack
son. ard in more recent years by Pres.-
dents Grant ana Hayes. During all this
time the measure was advocated by men
the most distinguished for learning and
craftsmanship but owing to the lack Of
organized efforts, nothing practical was
accomplished.

Friday night, and administered to the
Alamedas, the leaders in the Maine

wear a piece Of court plaster to close the
wound and prevent the blood from run
