ing a recent visit to San Francisco he
had been shown the model range there

men who before the range had been es-
tablished had not been able to draw a
pistol properly We're ROW excellent

the craftsmanship of all of the police
men, but he knew that there are some
on the force who could not hit flock of

matter should be investigated and re-
port made upon it. In this he was sup
ported by Chief Glass, who stated that
such an Improvement would add greatly
to the general efficiency of the depart
ment. The chief stated that as the reg
ular monthly inspection was to be held

MAY HAVE TURNED PIRATES
Anxiety About Sixteen Young Men on the
Sophia Sutherland.
Captain of the Schooner Has n
Black Record RS a South
Sea Pirate.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, November %
A story comes from Honolulu that has
caused much anxiety among the friends OF
the sixteen young men who recently sailed
from this port OF: the schooner Sophia
Sutherland in search of treasure on the
Solomon Islands.
The master Of the little trading craft
now presumably cruising in the South seas
is CAPTAIN SorrenSon, who, according to ex-
Consul Churchill of Apa, has black rec
ord as a pirate and dospoiler of the natives
i'll the islands OF the central Pacific.
When the Sophia Sutherland reached
Apia she WAS subjected to searching
scrutiny, during which Sorrenson was
identified as the man who had led similar
treasure seeking eXpe 1iton from Melbourne
on the schooner Albert, which he soon
transformed into regular pirate.
In 1854 he was captured by the British
man-of-war Dart and sent TO prison for
ten years. Since then he had not been
heard from, but now he is in virtual COM
mand of a company of Californians. who
put faith in his stories of the fabulous
wealth of the Solomon Islands

A SMOOTHER ASPECT
Satisfactory Condition Of the Japan
Hawaiian Controversy.
MINISTER HATCH DISCUSSES IT
No Reason to Be Uneasy Regard
ing Annexation.
THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT

Seemingly the irritation between. Japan
and Hawaii on account of the refusal Of
Hawaii to permit certain Japanese immi-
grants to land, has subsidized so that there
is absolutely no more trouble 10 be ex-
pected. The annexation of Hawaii to the
United States is almost accomplished
fact, so sure is 1t of completion, and Japan
is deprived OF any motive for making
trouble for the little republic. The reduc-
tion Oh the japanese complaint to Il definite
financial claim makes ii a business propo-
sition easy to be dealt with by arbitra-
ton. The arbitrators will have nothing to
do but to determine whether damages are
due from the Hawaiian government and,
If so, to fix an amount not exceeding the
100000 which is claimed.
Minister Hatch of Hawaii, WHO has lust
arrived at the Arlington, said to q represen-
tative of The Star this morning that the
situation in all Hawaiian affairs was satis-
factory.
The Japanese matter, he sad, has been
srnocthed out and can be settled now with
out difficulty or irritation. The Japanese
government Sc ems, he said. to be disposed
TO have the matter settled in as amicable
spirit as possible, ard, as far as he knew
everything was going on satisfactorily
Il do not know what may have happen
ed IN Hawaii recently" he said, but nv
Interpretation of the action of the Japanese
government in putting in a definite pecu-
niar;' claim for damages is just that put
upon 1t by The Star editorially. 1t is en-
tireiy satisfactory to Hawai-, l should
judge, to have the matter of the claim
stated thus definitely. 1t fixes the limit
of the claim, If any damages are to be al
lowed. Before the claim might have been
two dollars or two million This, it seems
to me- places the matter in more tan
gible shape, and think the disposition ON

Speaking of annexation Mr. Hatch said
that the situation seemed to be entirely
satisfactory. He could not tell how speedi-
ly Congress would act, but there seemed to
be no reason for uneasiness. He did not
think that the native opposition to annexa-
tion. such as 1t was, would effect anything
With respect to the form of government

Union. he said that Hawaii didsnot aspire
to statehood. The islands would come in

remain in that relationship to the Union

1t is. however, said to contain vigorous
denial of the irSinuations of Spain that
this country allows too much fiibustering
Spain will be informed that this country
has spent several million dollars attempting
to prevent the departure and landing Of
these expeditions; that every report from
Spanish agents that an expedition was be-
ing prepared has been investigated by
special agents of the government.
The reply will maintain that the stric-
lures on this government are unjust. and
will give facts showing this.
The remainder of the reply, which has
received the approval of President McKin-
ley will be guarded. AS to the promises
of Spain to end the war by its new policy,
the reply will not commit this country to
any length of time before it will do some
thing to interfere. The intimation will be
made, however. that this country will give
a reasonable length of time to ascertain
what will be the outcome of the new Cuban
policy. There will be 10 direct promise as
to this. That would be undiplomatic The
intimation will be just enough to somewhat

SPOTTED HAWKS CONDEMNATION
1t Was Brought About by Periured
Testimony.

The killing of herdsman named Hoover
in Montana Lear the northern Cheyenne
reservation, which caused intense excite
ment at the time and led to hasty action
by the government to avert an apprehended
Indian outbreak. was recalled today by a
request which Secretary Eliss received from
the Indian Rights Association.
The latter desires to secure funds to pay
the expenses Of an appeal to the Montana
supreme court in the case Of the Indian
boy. Spotted Hawk, condemned to death
for Hoover's murder. Capt. Stouch, the
agent of the Tongue river agency, believes
the evidence on which the boy was convict
ed to be false. and that an innocent person
has been condemned. The association asks
for some action to stay proceedings and
secure the appeal.
Secretary Bliss, however, had already
taken the necessary steps for securing the
tey's rights on information previously re-
ceived. An Indian named Stanley has con-
fessed to the murder and implicated Spotted
Hawk. but it is alleged that there was only
one individual connected with the murder.
