He Believes That Annexation viii UIti-
mately Succeed.
San Francisco, March l5. - The
steamer China which left Hong Kong
February 12 and Honolulu February
"a, arrived today, bringing these Ha-
waiian advices:
President Dole returned to Honolulu
the morning of the 4th. After a cabi-
net meeting held Immediately upon his
arrival he was interviewed by press
representative. He spoke very frankly
on matters pertaining to his mission to
Washington.
Yes, shall be very glad indeed to
tell the people anything may know
relative to annexation" said the presi-
dent. The Maine disaster absorbed
the attention of the statesmen in Wash
ington previous to my departure for Ha-
waii. When that has quieted down
interest in Hawaiian annexation will
be paramount in congress. When I
was in Washington l met many friends
of Hawaii. They feel confident that
annexation will come. While there
was doubt whether the treaty would
secure the required political votes in
the senate, still it was the concensus
of opinion that joint resolution would
carry In both houses. 1 place much
reliance in what was said to me by sem
ators and representatives who are fight
ing for Hawaii, for know them to be
working faithfully and earnestly"
''What is Speaker Reeds attitude?"
"When was in the American capi-
tai learned that he has always opposed
annexation, although he has made no
demonstration against the treaty. My
impression of President Mckinley?
Well, I will reply that it is extremely
favorable. I found him to be an unas-
suming, frank and sterling man. He
seems to have set his heart and soul on
the annexation treaty.
"Our reception was extremely cor
dial and hospitable. All along the
line to and from Washington throngs
of people came to see me. We shook
hands, and in many instances was
obliged to speak briefly from the car
platform. 1t was from these people
that gathered the impression that the
addition of Hawaii was the popular
sentiment throughout the land"

England and Japan Combine to Resist
Russia's Encroachments in China.

Russia's Encroachments in China.
New York, March 16.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Toxic says: The
Herald correspondent learns on un-
questionable authority that Japan is a
party to the negotiations now going on
between England and Russia at St.
Petersburg, and that while no alliance
exists between England and Japan,
they have definite understanding and
are acting in harmony. A high diplo-
matte official said:
You may say positively that Japan
will back up England against Russia,
and if England maintains firm atti-
tude, all immediate danger of war is
passed, unless Russia is resolved to
fight at once. In view of England 8
great superiority at sea and her pos
session of all the available coal in the
Eastern ports, Russia will probably
take conciliatory tone for the pres
ent.''
The Herald correspondent visited
Marquis Ito today, and asked him
whether-the Jajanese government
would sell the cruisers Chitose and
Sakagi to America. The marquis hesi-
tated moment, and replied:
81 will make inquiries of my naval
colleagues, but I think may say that
Japan prefers to get possession of all
the ships building for her as soon as
possible. Orders have already been
made to bring the ships to. Japan, and
the builders have been requested to
hasten their completion"
After pause the marquis continued
slowly and impressively:
"The news of the last few days in
dicates critical state of affairs else
where than on the Western continent,
and we consider it only prudent to con.
tinue our provisions for the national
defense. I hope the people of the
United States will not take offense at
Japan's unwillingness to part with
these cruisers. have always appreci-
ated their kindly feelings for Japan
The United States is nation above all
others where public sentiment abso-
lutely controls the national policy, and
for that reason I wish to have the peo-
pie there understand that Japan re-
tains the ships, not from lack of
willingness to oblige the United States,
but because she needs them herself"
''In case of war between the United
States and Spain. your excellency," the
correspondent asked, Twill Japan al
low the warships of both belligerents
to take coal at japanese ports, or refuse
it to both?'
'That opens long vista of possibil-
ities," he replied. "Some authorities
contend that coal and even provisions
should be contraband of war, as both
are necessary to maintain hostilities at
sea. Whenever war is declared be-
tween two or more powers, Japan, if
neutral, will bear in mind in deciding
the coal question the manner in which
her decision will affect all the belliger-
ents and her own interests. -
The Herald correspondent learns that
Japan has received cable from Eng
land for all the warships building for
her in English private yards, consist
