MICHAEL DAVITT.
Confident That Home Rule Will Soon
be Won for ireland.

OAKLAND, April 12.-Michael Da-
witt, Nj. P, is confident that home rule
Will soon be won for Ireland In an
interview upon current topics tonight,
he said:
In the next general elections in
Great Britain the Liberals will un-
doubtedly carry the country. and the
Irish party will probably have a bal
ance of power, and then be in a posi-
ton to distate terms to the Liberal
party, in which case the condition
would be that home rule will be the
first item of the Canadian Govern
ment's policy. Ireland had precisely
the same battle to fight, the same enc
mics to meet, the same difficulties to
overcome; and yet we won on these is
sues.
The first struggle was religious lib
erty, which was victorious after nearly
century of agitation then came the
question of education, and finally the
land question. We have never de-
manded anything of England politically
or constitutionally unreasonable We
ask for home rule because it is a duty
incumbent upon us as a people to de-
mand the right to govern our country.
and again, the English people have
demonstrated that they are utterly in
capable of governing Ireland
The Grecian question has consider
able to do with the prospects of home
rule. The Irish party in Parliament
was the first to bring the cause of Greece
before the people in a sympathetic way,
and we forced the hands of the Govern
ment persistently, questioning as to the
policy to be pursued in this matter and
in the Armenian outrages A constant
Interrogation was kept up as to what
was happening in Crete and Armenia,
and this made the Governments policy
so unpopular that it is now the great
battle cry Of the Liberal party.
In the Cretan question / see hope
for our cause. The Tory Government
may be forced out for standing in with
the Turks, and if it be forced out we
have good chance of winning The
whole policy of the Powers is dictated
by the money dealers of Europe. Eng
land has t100,0 100000 in Turkish bonds.
and feared a war between Greece and
Turkey would ruin these bonds
"One thing more. / have sojourned in
Hawaii, and become a strong advocate
of its annexation with America, for If
the United States is slow in acting, the
Americans there may be compelled to
seek protection from some other great
white Power. The small British colony
there is agitating annexation with Eng
land now, and the question is receiving
considerable attention in England.
America should keep out the other
Powers from Hawaii.

the fallen women of the city. Upon

obtained to-day Sunday, however, the
Turkish army has not yet started, and
it is supposed that at the last moment

counteTmanded.
Nevertheless, the Turkish Govern
ment seems to have the intention to
seize and hold Larissa until the Greeks
shall have evacuated the island of
Crete.
1t is pointed out that Krania, town
in Macedonia, which is believed to be
in the hands of the Greek insurgents,
and the scene of the present invasion,
is an important strategic position,
threatening Edhem Pasha's communi-
