JUST A FRIENDLY VISIT.

| It was IL 80 before President Dole ant
| party had landed and arrived at the OCc
| dental hotel. President Dole promptly re
CeivGd a delegation of newspaper men who
were waiting to see him and spoke freely
| of his mission here. He said: 81 do no
| come to the United States to work for an
neXatioH. l am merely on friendly vsi
to this country and its president. l expect
to remain in San Francisco three or -four
days, when | will start direct for Washing
ton and will there call on President Nc
Knley. 1t was thought best by the Ha
waiian government that during the consid-
Grafton of the annexation treaty by the
United States senate | should be ir
Washington and advise the Hawaiian lega
tiOn in certain matters 1t is not my inten-
tion to make any argument or do any lobby
ing for annexation. OF course, If ! am called
upon by the United States government to
give any information | will readily do So
am also interested in the form of govern
ment to be adopted for Hawaiia in case OF
annexation The treaty provides for the ap-
pointment of a commission to investigate
and decide upon the government for Hawaii.
Pending a report Of the commission, Hawaii
will probably be regarded as a territory and
President Mckinley will appoint a governor.
Certain changes will have to be made at
once in the present form of government for
the island and might be able to advise the
Hawaiian legation as to these changes"
President Dele, continuing, said 81 think
the sentiment OF the people OF the lsland is
more than ever i'm favor of annexation, To
be sure, there are some natives who are
Indifferent and others who are opposed to
annexation but no one really just knows
how many"
President Dole is accompanied by Major
Iaukea of his personal staff Colonel Fisher
of the Hawaiian army and DR.. Day, his
physician.
Lae this afternoon General Shafter and
his staff, in full uniform, made their official

REPORT ALL QUIET At HAVANA.
Spanish and state Department Adj
Vices Agree.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE state de-
partment and Senor Dupuy de LONE, the
Spanish minister, both expressed the opinion
todny that the trouble at Havana has blown
over. No advices under today's date had
been received by either the department or the
minister up to 1870 o'clock today Senior
de LONE received two dispatches last night,
the first saying the day was quiet and the
latter, apparently sent at later hour, ou-
nounced that calm had prevailed during the
day The State department, after o'clock,
received dispatch from Consul General Lee
saying simply "All quiet" The latenees
of receipt Of advices yesterday, the min
lister says, is due to the fact that the Havana
cable office on Sundays does not open until
. o'clock at night

governor of Santa Clara, Maros Garcia, a
clerk of the hospital known as a drunkard
who had been discharged (his name is
Picon) fired two shots at the governor,
which missed him, owing to having been
diverted by General Agurre, who was
with the governor. The people made an
ovation to both the governor and the gem
eral.

official of the Indian office to supplement the
Indian educational exhibit to be made by
that Office at the Omaha exposition with a
number OF models of old and new Indian
school buildings in order to demonstrate
the progress made in school architecture on
the Indian reservations will have to be
abandoned on account Of absence of funds
and lack of time in which to complete the
work. The Indian commissioner and archi-
tect Friebuss considered the plan favorably
but it was found that each model would cost
at least 5000 and the short time remaining
before the opening of the exposition would
make it impOssible to complete the work.

NO CEREMONIES FOR DOLE
Hawaiian President Lands Just Like an
Ordinary Traveller,

No salute Fired and No Onicinls to
Greet Him on Landing AT san
ErnnciSco-Tnlls to News
paper Men.

SAN FRANCISCO Jan. 17.-When Presi-
dent Dole of Hawaii landed from the steam
ship Peru this morning he was not received
with the ceremony behtting the ruler of a
foreign country. The Peru arrived shortly
after s o'clock last night and the quar-
antino regulations were not waived in favor
of the visiting president so he remained on
board all night when the steamer docked
this morning President Dole was greeted
by the Hawaiian consul and a few friends
but there were no representatives of the
United States government to formally well
come him. The customs officials passed the
baggage of himself and family without in
spection, and that was ALL Owing to the
fact that the steamer came in after dark
last night no salute was fired by any Of
the forts around the bay.
That a different reception was anticipated
is evidenced by the following letter from the
Associated Press correspondent at Honolulu:
HONOLULU, Jan. 9-President Dole and
his party will leave for Washington this
evening by the steamship Peru. Mrs Dole
will accompany the party far as san
Francisco. and viii remain in that city
until the president shall return, President
Dole will remain two days in san Fran

judge Perry Grants the ]. K.
Sumner N0n-COnpOS Petition.
AN APPEAL TO Be TAKEN
Opinion on Memory Tests = Dea
With Crandall Cited = Heavy
Property Interests.

In brief and crisp opinion, Circuit
Judge Perry hands down the verdict
that John X. Sumner is non compos
mentis within the meaning of the
law. While the decision covers but a
few pages of typewriting, there is 4
point in every phrase and every SEN
tence of the document. The case has
been contested in a very determined
manner. Judge Perry reviews COM
pletely the business and personal life
of Sumner for the last three or four
years and argues that the events cited
establish the incapability of the aged
and wealthy Hawaiian. Sumner is a
years of age. His most notable pos
session is an undivided one-half in
terest in the reef property at Homo
lulu harbor, including Quarantine ISL
and. Judge Perry gives an account of
the transaction by which Crandall be
came attorney in fact for Sumner I'M
der most peculiar circumstances and
refers to the lease of the Island in
terest, TO the recent mortgage and note
affairs involving transfer of all the
property to Mrs. Sumner, a note for
a large sum to Chinese rice planter,
an effort to so into the rice business
under peculiar conditions and lastly
is mentioned the prominence of such
new friends as Robt Wilcox and wife
in the affairs of Sumner. The Court
makes strong the point that while
Sumner has at the tip of is tongue
details of all kinds of happenings
twenty and thirty and more years ago,
his memory fails on the subject of
recent dealings. This is taken as
sign of failure of mind or weakening
of intellect to the extent that war
rants intervention by the Court. Judge
Perry concludes that he will appoint a
guardian for Sumner. giving time for
and argument in the mat
ter.
The petition to have Mr.. Sumner de-
clared non compos mentis was filed
by Maria S. Davis through Attorneys
Kinney & Ballou and ]. A. Magoon.
The lawyers for the respondent were
w. R. Castle and P. L. Weaver. Maria
S. Davis is the sister of John X. Sum
ner.
An appeal to the Supreme Court
will be taken from Judge Perry's de-
cision.
