IT WAS DISPATCHED TODAY BY
THE PERU.
japanese Letter Still Kept from the
Public-Minister Cooper Says He
will Public it on Receipt of Reply.

The contents of Count Okuma's note
of arbitration to the Hawaiian Govern
ment was not made public today by
Minister of Foreign Affairs Cooper.
Last week and even up to yesterday
it was the Minister'S intention to let
the people have some knowledge of
what has transpired recently in the
japanese Hawaiian controversy. But
today he announced to the press that
he could not divulge this information
until he had received a reply from Ja-
pan to his letter sent to Japanese
Minister Resident Shimamura yester-
day, and forwarded by that official to
the Toxic government by the Peru to-
day.
The tenor of Minister Cooper's latest
letter to the Japanese government eX-
presses desire on the part of the
Hawaiian Government to Know exact
ly what terms the arbitration will be
conducted on. The Japanese note ex-
pressed what should be excluded, but
did not state what was to be included.
As the last Japanese letter is not be-
fore the public it is impossible to
Judge of the course of the govern
ment in this matter. This action is in
strong contrast with the policy of Sec
retary Sherman, who. following recent
western methods, has supplied the
press of the United States with the
gist of this correspondence, and in
many cases with the full text. But
then the diplomacy of Hawaii may
need greater care than the diplomacy
of the Great Republic.
Little by little has the public CLEAN
ed information concerning the arbi-
tration letter written by the japanese
Government several weeks ago. 1t was
given out authoritatively by the Gov
ernment last week that Japan had
consented to the offer of this govern
ment to arbitrate the differences eX-
isting between the two countries. The
Japanese Government suggests the
King of Belgium for arbitrator, and
insists that the differences be deter
mined on the treaty of 1871, and not
on the present immigration laws of
Hawaii.
The President and two of the Cabi-
net Ministers favor the giving out to
! the public all the information possible
concerning the affair One of the
Ministers says that he would favor an
official statement, giving the substance
of the correspondence to the press as
soon as a note is received or dis.

CENTRAL COMMITTEE TO MEET.
THE LUSO'S VIEWS.
An Editorial Utterance Which is Dead
Against Annexation.

The following translation of a lead
ing article in o Luso of August 21,
shows which side that paper is taking
of the present political situation of
the Islands:
''AS is published elsewhere in
this journal it seems that the Pres
ident has called an extra session of
the Senate of the Republic for the Sth
day of next September, for the ratifi-
cation of the treaty of annexation be-
tween Hawaii and the United States.
In the first place, we cannot perceive
what is the motive of such proceed
ing on the part of this Government,
which is the one that asks for annex
alton, to ratify a document which
cedes the Islands to the United States
without first the competent power Of
the other contracting party, the SEN
ate of the United States, ratifies the
same or imposes the conditions which
it Judges necessary.
Unless this Government is convinc-
ed that the Senate will ratify the trea-
ty, it would be very dangerous step,
the more so as this ratification does
not prove that the majority of the
people signifies its approval, because
all know that the Senate of Hawaii
does not represent anything more
than half dozen capitalists.
In view of the preparations in pro-
gress for general demonstration Of
all those who are opposed to anneNn-
ton, this meeting of the Senate will
serve as a contrast so lively that the
world once more will assist as specta-
tor of a farce without taste
Perhaps the voice of the Portuguese
colony may soon he heard in regard to
annexation, and its decision will not
he vacillating, because from day ia
day arguments are presented, whi n
convince us that annexation will not
be of utility to our numerous colony"

ANSWER COUNT 0MA lB CASTLE SUCCESSOR SOAP MAY CURE L2A THREE STORY HOTEL
LETTER TO THE BOARD OF
HEALTH SAYS so.
Health Department has Put the Mat
ter into Officer Reynolds Hands for
igation-Probably Canard.

The Health Department has placed
in Executive Officer Reynolds hands,
for his investigation, a letter from the
Margate Soap Works, at Kent, claim
ing that some of the Hygienic soap
manufactured by that company has
effected a cure of leprosy on Molokai.
Mr.. Reynolds will look into the mat
ter on his next visit to the settlement.
The letter, which is addressed 10
President Smith, says:
1--WE have been informed through
the Damien Institute that the hygir-
mic soap called Ludovic's Pine Tar
Soap, has been tried at the leper set
tlemen on Molokai, with satisfactory
results for the past twelve months.
when in November of 1895, the
Bishop of Honolulu took with him
some of the Fathers to Mololai, they
were given two small cases of this
soap, to act as a preventive of the
leprosy, but it appears it did more"
The proprietor of the Margate Soap
company, \. Ludovic, is desirous of as

is willing to spend time and money

INTENDING BIDDER FOR HOTEL
PROPERTY TALKS.
Would Not Negotiate With Owners of
Adjoining Property Should They
Stiffen Their Prices-Better to Buy.

1t is understood that a prospective
bidder for the Hawaiian hotel premis-
es, if successful, will endeavor to pur-
chase the adjoining properties. That
he is determined not to pay fancy pri-
ces for these properties is also learn
ed from a representative of the intend
ing purchaser.
The moment the hotel is purchas-
ed" said the gentleman, representing
the capitalist, 'the owners of the land
surrounding the hotel will undoubted-
ly advance their prices. This is per-
fectuly natural thing to do, but at the
same time it will block the ambition
of the new purchaser, and will pre-
vent the city from having first class
hotel, which is sorely needed.
I'm the event of our securing the
property by purchase, we will be will
ling to pay reasonable sum for the
adjoining properties. Our plan would
be to improve the main building and
grounds and to erect modern cottages.
SHOULD the owners desire to place
stiff prices on their land, our intcn-
tion would be to place an additional
story on the present building or nos-
sibly to erect new three or four sto-
ry building
The Government is anxious to have
the property purchased outright. BY
the terms it agrees to sell at an upset
| price of 100000, or else lease for u
term of ten years at $4,000 per year,
which would yield $4,000 to the Gov
ernment Golfers in revenue.
1t is the opinion of nearly everyone
| interested in the matter. that it
would be a much better investment to
purchase the property outright than
to lease it, The Government has in
tended that this be so, thus displaying
/ its good faith in the efforts to have %
good first class hotel established in

Kapaa.
Austin was suspended from his post
of duty for one month, on the eve of
his departure on the James Makee,
last evening. Mr.. Austin announced
that the charges against him were UNI
der three heads. The most serious is
the maltreatment of pupils; the Sec
ond, using the name of the Board of
Education without authority, and the
third, making improper proposals to
a lady assistant in the Kapaa school
Austin has retained Lawyer S. j.
Macdonald, and will fight the Depart.

says that an investigation of the char.
ges will eXonerate him.

ABOUT ANDREE.
Scott Kettle Disbelieves the Pigeon
Stories-Andree Off for Two Years.

j. Scott Kettle, of the Royal Geo.
graphical Society of Great Britain
characterizes as all rot the statement
that Andree's balloon had been seen
in the White Sea, because it would
not have been likely to take tha:
course. AS to the reports of Andree's
pigeons having been found it was i'm
possible to say whether they were An,
dree's. The Germans are flying pig
cons from the English coast to their
own country, and the pigeons found
might have been German birds. An
dree had said before he started that
he ight not be heard from for two
years.
| He was personally acquainted with
Andrec and with Nansen, and they
were much alike. Andree was fine,
intelligent fellow, of magnificent ply
sique. He was perfectly well aware
of what he was doing when he un
dertook the trip to the north pole, and
lif pluck, intelligence and physique
could help man through such an un.
dertaking, he would yet be heard Of
! 1t might be that his balloon would
come down on the northern coast of
Alaska, in which case il would take
considerable time for him to reach Il
telegraph station. It might descend

must elapse in any case before he
would be heard from.

opinion that Andree has been success.

The enthusiasm Increased as the roy

and the occupants of the steps of the
city hall, over which the flag of the
city of Dublin foated in place of the

in their welcome. The suggestion IS
now regarded favorablv to create the
