LIEUT.. CARRANZA'S CASE.
His Letter Has Been CnbIcd to the
British Government

His Letter Has Been CabIcd to the
British Government.
If the Ottawa authorities have deter
mined upon the expulsion of Messrs Car
rama and Du Bose it is not the result Of
any instructions from the British govern
ment, but is due entirely to the wish of
the dominion authorities to dispose of the
Spanish visitors. 1t is learned here from
authoritative headquarters that the British
government has not yet reached a decision
in the matter and that nothing has been
done beyond cabling the Carranza letter
to the authorities at London.
Since then Carranza has denied the ac-
curacy of the translation, and pending the
settlement of this point the British gov
ernment has not acted. For this reason 1t
is stated that the published report that
Minister Chamberlain, minister for the
colonies in the British cabinet, had sent
an order to Canada for the expulsion of
Carranza and Du Bose is erroneous, as
neither Mr.. Chamberlain nor any other Off
cial of the British government has up to
1t is not improbable, however that the Ca
madam government has acted under its
own laws toward the expulsion of the two
Spanish officials. But this is open to ques-
ton. as the right Of asylum claimed by
Carranza and Du Bose has an international
aspect. in which event Great Britain rather
than Canada must deal with Spain.

A MESSAGE on HAWAII.
The President COntempIates Sending
One to Congress.


One to Congress.
The President has in contemplation, ac-
cording to a senator who was in consulta-
ton with him today, the submission of a
special message to the two houses of Con-
gress, calling for immediate annexation
of Hawaii military necessity. Accord
ing to this senator. the message will be de-
layed for a few days to await action that
may be taken by Speaker Reed and the
committee on rules, but is very likely to
go in with as little delay as possible. possi-
bly, early next week. The purpose of the
message is a special plea for favorable ac-
ton, calling attention to the strategic i'm
portance of the islands. the great advan-
tage that would accrue in the present war
situation through securing them. and other
points in the Hawaiian policy already well
known.
While the President has not positively
announced his purpose to send in the mes
sage, the senator who talked with him saws
the President is very favorable to this plan
and 1t will likely be adopted and strong
plea made to Congress for immediate ac-
uon. The matter has not been generally
discussed, and a member of the foreign re-
lations committee, when asked about it to-
day, said he had heard that it was pro-
posed, but that, SO far as he knew. II had
not been finally decided on.

Long Conference between the French

French ambassador, NJ Cambon. and the

Marquis Santo-Thryso, the Portuguese min
ister; the minister of the Netherlands, the

The call of the French ambassador at
tracted more than passing attention in view
of the constant cable reports that France
and Austria are likely to act in behalf of
Spain when that country gets ready to
make overtures for peace. 1t can be stated
positively, however, that If the French gov

harbor the details of the work were con-
veyed to Consul General Hanna. He is now
making an extensive report Of ths opera
tions to the Navy Department.
In some way General Machias learned
Of this, and, as the British consulate has
been guarding American interests in Porto

he at once suspected that Englishmen had
conveyed the news to the United States Of

subjects before him and put them through
searching examination, after which sew

twenty-four hours.

Buildcrs' Trial of the New Torpedo
BOat Mckenzie.

A dispatch from Philadelphia gives the
following account of the builders trial of
the torpedo boat Mackenzie, Tuesday:
Her test was made over the government
measured knot at Deep Water Point,
Delaware bay, and was entirely satisfac-
tory. She was given four runs, two
against the tide and two with the tide
Under the latter conditions she made con-
siderably over the twenty-knot require
ment. and averaged the twenty knots
against the tide. Her forced draught
worked in such manner that its full
benefit was not obtained. but the fastest
mile was covered in two minutes ffty-fiye
seconds. Going at fun speed, with Naval
Constructor HanScom at the wheel she
was turned half dozen times in two
lengths. All on board were pleased at the
success of the trial, and predicted better
results at the official trial. which has not
yet been fixed
