revolutionists.

army-Drummond-is an American, not
an EngIishman, as at first reported, and
of the colonies there are Richardson from
Mem phis and Wilt. Maspero, Roman and

into the revolution for the fun OF the
thing.
The revolutionists are we'll supplied
with ammunition and clothing, which
they have captured from Government
troops. At Belize an American named
Jackson is on trial as filbuster. He
was one of the leaders of the Honduras
revolutionists. 1t is charged that he re-
ceived arms and ammunition from Gin
c1nnati concealed in bales OF hay. The
arms were landed in British territory,
hence the interference of England and
the arrest of Jackson.

M. LEPINE'S EXCUSE,
Why the Police Supervision OF the

LONDON, ENG, May 5.-There is dis

patrons and patronesses of the bazaar
were all reactionists, and he feared to

suppress Catholic enterprise. Moreover,
many OF the organizers of the fair were

ELIZABETH'S GRIEF.
Austria's Empress Frustrated BY
the News of Her Sisters
Death,

VIENNA, AUSTRIA. May 5.-Empress
Elizabeth is completely Frustrated by the
tragic death of her sister. the Duchesse
d'Alencon, who died in yesterdays fire at
Paris. She remains in her room, ad-
uniting nobody and refusing to take food.
AS if foreboding something, the EN-
press asked for her papers earlier than
usual, but the ladies in attendance shrank
from producing them, making excuses.
Her Majesty. however, obtained them
somehow and the shock was terrible.
There is serious apprehension for her deli
cate health.
The Due 'Alencon telegraphed to the
Emperor this forenoon announcing the
deash OF the Duchesse. President Faure
sent to the Emperor and EN- press a tele-
gram of coincidence, through the French
EN- ba ssador.

7HURS7ON PREDICTS RUIN.
Says kbrog alton of The Hawaiian Tre1fy
Means Disaster TO the Islands
BUSINESS Interests.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 5.-Not a
few Hawaiians here were taken somewhat
by surprise when they learned OF the &C.
ton OF the Senate Finance Committee in
striking out of the tariff bill the clause
exempting Hawaiian imports from the
operations OF the act. 1t is believed, how.
ever, that the committees action will he
negatived by the Senate, as under both
the Mckinley and Wilson bills an attem pt
was made to abrogate the reciprocity
treaty, and each time it failed in the
Senate.
The opinion is expressed that the dis
cussion on this matter will naturally pre-
clpltate debate on the annexation ques-
tlon. This will result in the latter not
being treated on it's merits and in a man.
ner which its Importance demands.
Favorable action by the Senate on the
committees report, it is felt, might tend
to Jeopardize what prospects for annexa-
ton now exist. Minister Hatch refuses
to talk.
Thurston, who is now here on a special
mission, said the abrogation of the treaty
meant disaster and ruin to the business
interests of the islands. He said he had
information that the Republicans on the
committee were not unit in striking out
the exemption clause, and he hoped it
would be restored.

NO CAUSE F0R ALARM.
Japan Does Not Wish to Trouble 7bis
Government With Its Hawaiian
Island Grievances.

WASHINGTON, D. G.. May 5.-Mail
from Consul-General Mills at Honolulu
received at the State Department to-day
contains no reference to the reported ex-
element about the attitude of Japan.
Fiom this Secretary Sherman believes
that the alarm of the Hawaiian Govern
ment has abated. According to the state
ment given out by the Japanese Minister
here, his Government is disposed 10 settle
the controversy over the refusal to allow
japanese immigrants TO land without re-
course to threatening naval demonstra-
ton. The State Department is hopeful
that no trouble calling for Intervention by
the United States will result. The pres
ent intention, however. OF the auminis-
tration is to have at least two warships
there until all danger of Japanese inter-
terence has passed.
