NEW YORK, August 1.-THE World
prints the following from San Sebas-
tian, prefacing it with a statement that
it has passed through the hands OF the
Spanish censor: Senor Castelar, and
several other leading statesmen, both
Liberal and Conservative, have been
questioned concerning certain declara-
tionS recently attributed to Secretary
Sherman, and they assure me that they
do not attach any Importance to them,
even if true, because all Spanish poll
ticians and the Government always
draw the line between the opinions
and utterances of Secretary Sherman
and President Mckinley. They are
firmly convinced that the statesman
ship, foresight and spirit of justice OF
the President would easily overrule
the prejudices of the Secretary of State,
even If the additions of the latter Of
flee did not oblige Mr.. Sherman to un-
derstand the expediency of abstaining
from compromising expression of
opinions formerly compatible with the
Independent position of a member of
the Senate. but not with a Minister OF
great republic.

For some time Liliuokalani has been
talking to her friends about a residence
in California, where she has many
warm friends and of which she is fond.
She has about concluded that her pres
ence in Washington and the East can
do no possible good and has sent word
to friends in San Francisco that she
will be here in about 10 days.
LiIiuokalani has announced her in
tention of remaining here at least two
months, and during that time will have
her residence at the California Hotel.
After that her plans are indefinite.
Either she will return to the East, may
even go to Europe to meet her niece,
the Princess Kaiulani, or else she will
remain in California and rent or pur-

a permanent residence. In that case
the heiress apparent to the defunct

There are no developments in the

press of Japan has become much more
conciliatory, and the arbitration nego-

regarded as disposing of the chances

adds that Japan is to be congratulated
that arbitration, the only civilized exit
from an international difficulty, has
been selected as means of settling a
mere question of compensation.
The Manishi Shimbun urges that
the United States should be compli-
mented by being named as arbitrator,
rather than Norway and Sweden. 1t
says that a decision by the United
States could be relied upon as fair, and
under existing circumstances it would
probably be in Japan's favor.
This suggestion has aroused discus
sion in Japanese papers, and the Japan
Mail, while approving the plan, says
the United States would not be willing
from considerations of delicacy, to act
as arbitrator.
There are, however, some exceptions
to this cordial expression.

Rheumatism is no respecter of per

of the body ache constantly, swell

1t is great mistake to expect relief
from such condition by the applica-
ton of liniments and other external

nit that the disease IS in the blood,
