A POOR SUBSTITUTE.

TheEe is one good reason why, as 8 Territory, Arizona should not be per- mitted to elect heR. Territorial officers. That matter has been discussed in the Territory from time to time foF num- Der of yssrs snd Hon. Mark Smith has finally embodied it in bill which he hes introduced in Congress. However is is not improbable that the success of the bill would indefinitely postpone Statehood for Arizona and continue us in 8 sort of vessalege from the fact tb st our Legislative acts are subject to the disapproval of Congress at any Sims it sees fit to exercise it's privilege or power in the premises. If Arizona will make 8 straight out and out effort for Stsse- hood she will get it before the present Congress goes out of existence; if Mr. Smiths bill is pushed it will practically bar tbe wsy for S;atehood ard if he should succeed 10 getting ie through, which is exceedingly prob'a IT atic, 1t would be merely sort of meke-ehift shat would fer many years leave us helpless except iu the cho ce of our own ofcisis, a very poor substitute for Staseho ood

4 NEW SCHEME.
To Annex San Diego County to
 Arizona

To Annex San Diego County to
 Arizona.
 An exchange in San Diego makes the following proposition:
 "Ooe of the best plans to benefit this county yet suggested in connection with State division Is that which coutem- plates it's annexation to Arizona and ths admission of that Territory into the Union es 8 State. Viewed from purely business stsndpoins, there Is probably no scheme thss would do as much good both to Arizona and to San Diego. It would give to Arizona deep wster conzt neotion with all the world through one would make of San Diego the ocean me- tropolis of great State. The first im- mediate result of the oonsumation of suoa 6 plan would be direct railroad to the East. The second would be eubstentis recognition of the claims of San Diego Rsrbos in Congress. When appropriations of millions of dollars are made for thec construction of an srti- ficisl harbor and ot dry docks in an open roedetead like San Pedro, and all through the efforts of 6 single wide- awake Senator, is is rot too much to ss- sert that with two Senators from shs new State, working together for the only barber in it, the same benefits could bs secured for it. Los Angeles has so often wished us in Mexico that she could nos with dscency object to our annexation to Arizona. Much more could be said ln favor of this plan, and we propose in the future to show the many sdvs lsngss of 1t in de- tail end advocate it in place of State division, ss we hein we that the creation of the new State, with San Diego as one of the counties of 1t, would give us ,be naming of one of the Senators and a Congressman, bes ide soiio deie- gasion to work for us in all naval mat ters. Instead of being rslegsted to She last place efte- every op en rosdstead in the country hnd bsen h ssEd, we would be placed in the very firsl rank as the only seaport of sress State. ."--Sem- tiaeL.

JAPAN AND HAWAII.
New Japanese Minister for the
 United States.
TREATY SUBMITTED.
Hawaii Will Refuse to Sign a Treaty With Japan on
 Immigration.

SAN FRANCISCO, OcS. 19.-The steamer
 Belgic. which srrivsd from Yokohama
 via Honolulu shortly after midnight,
 two days ahead of schedule time,
 brought the following advioee: It is rumored in court circles that
 Kon,era Jussro, vice minister of the Japanese foreign offios, will succeed Hosbi as minister to the United States upon the lsseer's return and that Min ister Ksto Tskaskirs, TOW at the court of Ss. James, will soon be recalled. During September Count Okume, minister of foreign affairs, gave sn en- tertainmens as his official residence in honor of Colonel Buck. United States minister, and Ex-Seccesery of State Charles Hamlin and sister. Among those present were Count Mstsuketa, premier, Marquis Hschisuka, minister of education, and @ number of other high officials.
 Disentery in GeFmsneshi prefecture shows no signs of abatement. During the last week of September there were over seven thousand people down with this melsdy.
 The following Hawaiian advice under date of October 12sb, arrived today per Stermship Begio: Mister Spinamurs, of the Japanese Government, called at the foreign office yesterday and handed Minister Cooper 8 document containing the draft of 8 treaty and points in the matter of the dispute over the immi- grafton muodle. While no sctiong ghas yet been taken in the premises it is generally accepted that the Hawaiian government will neither agree to the points set forth in the document nor eiga the treaty.
 That the Japanese press will take the same view of the cRss is evident from the following review of Che situation published by leading paper:
 'No fresh information has been brought by the Naniwa juss returned from Hawaii, but from what some of the head officers have said it seems that it Is not difficult to foFtell the future of ths air. We are told thst Hawaii is endesvoriug to postpone settlement of the trouble ss long ss possible and 1t will saks some time before the erbitra- tion treaty Is signed. The Hawaiian Government seeing that the United States Senate in DscembeR next will discuss the ratification oe the snnexs- tion treaty, intends to put off that sf- fair until that treaty is ratified by the Halted GAatoo Sa.ata hecausa in that case, negotiations of the trouble at is- sue will be transferred to the United States. This appears to be her only policy for she loses nothing by post poning she settlement of she trouble. Japan cannot appeal to force if Hawaii acts in that way and therefore procrssti- nation Is she nstufsl outcome"

CUBAN SITUATION. Business Men Holding Secret
 Meetings.
 WILL APPEAL To the United States for An nexatiOn and Pro-
 lection.
WILL APPEAL

MATANzAs, Cuba, via Key West, Got. IS. - The business element here. in
 Havana and elsewhere seems to have arrived at the conclusion thet the
 Madrid government cannot end the
 war on the basis of autonomy to Cubs
 and that theFs ara not enough loyalists among the sutonomists to hold pu blio office. At least that is the claim the conservative Spsn;ards make. Ia sd- dition the latter express the belief thst the autonomists,even if placed in power would pos be able to preserve the peace and protect life and property from the iswiess element. In view of this con- dition Of affairs, a nnmbeF of important merchants and sugar planters of Span ish origin, iu conjunction with several Oubsns of prominence, have been hold. ing secret meetings and corresponding wish people in various parts of the Is- land, with the obi sot of sscsPtaining the views of the commercial and planting community in PiuaP del Rio, Havana, Mstsrzas and Santa Clara provinces as to the future for Cuba, most likely to further the interests of those islands in general. Ib is expected that the ma iority of the people will be favorable to the annexation of Cuba to the United States as the Washington government alone, apparently, is able to guarantee peace in Cuba and protection to life and property. As soon as it is sscertained that the sentiment of the persons sp- pealed to Is in favor of annexation, @ committee will be sent to the United States with instructions Go lay the case of Cuba clearly before the business men of prominence in the United States and ask the latteE to unite with the business men of Cuba in petition to the Wash ington government to ask the United States, in view of the failure of the conservatives to suppress insurreotion by force of arms-eAd- pointing outx6e impossibility of she liberals ending the war by establishing an sutonomins form of government, to bring about sn- nexation with the United States.
