NOBODY ALARMED
Over the Condition Of Affairs at
Honolulu

WASHINGTON May Sat the Jap
anese legation it was stated that Mr..
Stevens, counselor of the legation, would
not make the trip to Hawaii. When
trouble seemed imminent recently the
Japanese authorities instructed Minis
ter Hoshi to have Mr.. Stevens proceed
to Hawaii. Subsequently, however, the
situation became more pacific and it was
determined that Mr.. Stevens trip would
not be necessary. Recent advices to the
legation show that the Japanese govern
ment as we'll as the public are in no way
agitated over the Hawaiian. situation.
The Japanese government has put stop
to all japanese immigration to Hawaii,
thus indicating a purpose not to press
for the right to have Japanese subjects
admitted. 1t is said also that the dis
patch of japanese warship to Hawaii
was in no sense a menace, but was made
with a view to restraining any possible
demonstration by the Japanese there in
consequence of the exclusion of japanese
immigrants. The authorities are desir-
Gus only of securing indemnity for those
japanese who have suffered by exclu-
sion. In this connection it is said that
an offer by the United States to use it's
good offices in securing a settlement of
the trouble doubtless would be accepted
by Japan.

BAKED MISSIONARY
Is Still Relished by the South Sea
Islanders

ASTORIA, Or, May S.-According to
private advices received here yesterday
+. B. Lichtenberg, a young Englishman,
who arrived in this city about two years
ego and left year later, has met hor-
r!ble fate at the hands of cannibals in
the South Sea islands. He, with another
man. was taken prisoner and killed and
eaten by the tribes of the islands. Lich-
tenberg went directly to Australia from
Astoria, and there agreed with an ex-
missionary, whose name is not known,
to trade with the natives of the Santa
Cruz Islands, which have population
o. about 10000. The ex-missionary had
traded with them before, and had been
among them in his religious capacity
and entertained no fears for the safety OF
himself and companion.
The men, says the letter, procured
traders outfits and set sail from Aus
tralia for the islands. The natives, who
are reputed to be more ferocious than
any Of the African tribes, captured them
and held them for some time. Later they
were killed and eaten. The story gained
circulation through half-civilized ma
tive who witnessed the awful feast.
Lichtenberg belonged to a prominent
London family. His father is said to be
very wealthy.

NEW YORK, May S.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: 1t is off,
cially stated that the Government can
see no grounds to listen to the arguments
of the Madrid press or the opposition
politicians. and has determined to allow
General Weyler to remain at the head
OF the forces of the field in Cuba and at
the same time to continue to act as Gov
ernor General to carry out the reforms
gradually, as he may deem that the cir
cumstances and conditions of the COL
ony permit.
1t is expected that fully two months, If
not more, will be required to make prep
arations for the elections and the first
installment of reforms.
General Weyler will also be allowed
to determine after complete pacif1cation
of the islands, the conditions on which
political exiles will be permitted to re-
turn to the colony or how their treat
ment shall be modified in the Spanish
fortresses and penal settlements off the
coast of Africa, where about 1000 Sepa-
rationists or Autonomists are de-
tanned by virtue. of decisions Of the col
onial authorities without trial of any
kind, but simply as suspects. Every
mail steamer is still bringing over some
"oeportados," a they are called.
The Madrid opposition press persists
in advocating some amelioration of their
condition, and Liberal, Republican and
Cuban Autonomist representatives have
often interposed in their favor, some
times obtaining permission for them to
remain in Spain or to go to less un-
healthy depots.
In official circles it is stated that there
is no idea of proclaiming amnesty yet.

Two Men Drowned

STOCKTON, Cal, May s.-Two men
were drowned in McLeads Lake this
forenoon shortly before IL o'clock. The
one was a young man named John

a day or two ago to go to work on the
barge Katie. He was unloading cord
wood from the barge this morning and
tripped on the gang plank and fen into
the water between the barge and the
wharf A piece of wood fell on his
head and must have stunned him, for
although good swimmer he did not
rise again. Shortly afterwards Chris
Johnson, fireman on the stamer Clara
Grow. which towed the barge. jumped
off the boat and was drowned. He was

JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS
Gaining Access by Means Of Fraudu-
lent Certificates

SAN FRANCISCO. May S.-Commis-
sioner of immigration Stradley for this
port declares that Japanese immigrants
are gaining access to this city by means
OF bogus certificates. He has instituted
rules to detect such frauds, and he will
hereafter examine all passengers to pre-
vent further irregular practices in con-
nection with immigration. Large num-
bers of Japanese arrive from home by
way of steamers running to Victoria,
where there is no quarantine service, but
such immigrants must now be examined
here, even if holding a certificate from
the inspector at Tacoma. A steamer ar
rived today from Puget sound, and of the
fifty-five Japanese passengers ten were
held for deportation because they had
fraudulent certificates from the quaran-
tine inspector emitting the holders to
entry into the United States.
