WHO is MINISTER.
Mckinley Disapproves
Damon's Resignation
Presidents ACuon Indicates tn,
Former Mister

) WASHINGTON, November 17.-The
President has refused to accept the re-
signaticn of Mr.. Damon, the Hawaiian
| Minister of Finance, and that official
will remain in Office at least until such
time as Congress provides for a system
of government tor the Hawaiian ISL
ands. Mr.. Damon's resignation was
rendered at a time when he was in
Italy, seeking to secure the emigration
to Hawaii of Italian laborers.
This pursuit was in the interest of an
organization of planters and capital
lists, and it was thought to be scarcely
should engage in such outside matters
The resignation was rendered under
these conditions, but as Mr.. Damon has
since terminated the connection be
tween himself and the organization re
ferred to the reason for it's acceptance
at once disappeared.
When the attention of Mr.. Theodore
Lansing was brought to the above dis
patch, he expressed himself as surpris-
ed at it's contents. He had not been
aware of it until yesterday afternoon.
Nothing" said he, "can be done today,
being holiday, and consequently no
of the Cabinet has been called
to consider the question. Furthermore
the official communication upon the
subject from Washington would ne
cessarily pass through the hands of
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and /
have not been appraised of any such
communication having been received"
Widespread interest was aroused
about town relative to the dispatch
and the action of President Mckinley
in refusing to accept Mr.. Damon's resig-
nation, inasmuch as the former has
evidently considered the tender of the
latter's resignation in the light tina
since the private business enterprise
in which Mr.. Damon was interested,
has been terminated SO that his cabine
duties will not be interfered with, there
is no official barrier to his remaining
in office as Minister of Finance.
One construction can be placed upon
the Presidents action-that it is GER
tainly a high tribute to the integrity
the former Minister of Finance, and is
clear evidence of the confidence which
the Washington administration repos
es in Mr.. Damon. 1t makes another
anomalous feature in the present loca
situation, but there is little doubt thai
Mr.. Damon will ask that his resigna-
ton to the Hawaiian Executive be &C
cepted by Mckinley as that no new
will arise.

The many friends of Ed. Dekum
will be surprised to hear that since his
arrival on the Miowera he has been in
the Queens hospital. He had been
under the weather before starting and
was sick the entire trip down from
Vancouver. By the doctors advice he
went at once at the hospital. He is
very much better now having been up
yesterday for the first time, and hopes
to be out in a day or two when he will
return to his old quarters at Mrs. John

INDIAN SIGNAL SERVICE.
They Have Long TeIcpboned by the
Use of Drums.

Travellers in uncivilized countries
have often wondered how some savage
tribes were able to transmit news for
hundreds of miles with no apparent
facilities for doing 80. An interesting
light Is thown on this subject by Jose
Bach, who tells Of the means by which
the Indians on the Amazon communi-
cate with each other at distance. The
natives live Ia groups Of 100 to 400
persons in settlements half mile or a
mile apart. In each dwelling there is a
wooden drum, which is buried for half
its height in sand mixed with frag-
ments Of wood, bone and mica, and has
a triple diaphragm of leather, wood
and rubber When this drum is struck
with wooden mallet, the sound travels
far and is distinctly heard in the other
drums in the neighboring dwellings
1t is beyond doubt that the transmits
sion of the sound takes place through
the earth, since tho blows struck ara
scarcely audible outside of the houses
in which the instruments are placed.
After "malocca," or dwelling, has
been "called up" by an initial blow
conversation lie carried on between the
two drums. Mr.. Baoh's explanation is
that the communication is facilitated
by the nature of the ground, the drums
doubtless resting upon one and the same
stratum of rock, since transmission
through ordinary alluvial earth could
not be depended upon. This method
furnishes an ingenious modification of
the process employed by Indians for
perceiving distant noises, such as the
gallop Of horse, which consists in APP
plying the ear to the earth. st. Louis

To Elect senator Wednesday.

LINCOLN, Feb. 81 Wednesday next
is now set down by all the political
prophets as the day when the United
States senator is to be made. This con-
clusion is reached from the fact that
the principa. candidates and their rep
resentatives have come to an under
standing which is to materalize IN Re-
publican caucus to be held tomorrow
evening. The supposition is that the
plan is still sort of optional ballot, but
that the Thompson forces who wish to
vote secretly are to be enlarged by the
infusion of at least Is secret votes from
the Hayward column and that then so
votes will be required to effect bind
ing nomination. 1t is taken for granted
that if enough Republican members to
elect can be brought into caucus they
will keep at the caucus work until they
are joined under one banner and then
finish the contest by casting their ballots
as agreed in joint session of the two
houses.

GERMANY GETS OUT.
WlTHDRAWS HER NAVAL FORCE FROM
PHILIPPINE. WATERS.

German Government OficialIy Asks the
United States to Protect Its Subjects In
the Islands While Her Ships Punish the
Chinese--All Doubts Removed.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The German
government has set at rest effectually
the rumors of purpose on it's part,
directly or indirectly, to embarrass the
United States in the Philippine islands
and has given a signal manifestation of
its desire to promote the most cordial
relations between Germany and the
United States by ordering the with
drawal of all vessels of its navy from
Philippine waters and placing the lives
and property of its subjects under the
protection of the United States govern
ment. This action taken is regarded as
master stroke in diplomacy, by which
will be removed all possibility of clash
between German and American inter-
ests in and about Manila, and notice to
the world, especially to any Americans
who entertained any suspicion of sim
lister designs by Germany of the wish
and purpose Of the German empire to
cultivate the friendship of the United
States. By it Germany at once places
the protection of all her large interests
in the islands almost completely in our
hands.
The announcement Of this act of the
German government came at the close
of day that had been full of sensa-
IF n1o cl, hot 4
Americans and Germans in Manila, the
rumors finally going so far as to assert
that Admiral Dewey had fired on and
sunk German vessel at Manila. These
rumors spread despite the fact that the
cable connecting Manila with the outer
world is in control of the United States
government, so that it might be reason
ably expected that it would be the gov
ernment to receive the first news of any
disaster or collision at Manila, and that
at the navy department positive denials
were made of the receipt of any news
tending in the slightest degree to con-
firm the rumors.
Finally, at the close of the day, rea-
son was given for the great confidence
in the talsity of the statement. By one
bold stroke German had removed all
possibility of any clash between hot
heads at Manila. It was announced
that the German government had Or
dered their ships away from Manila,
probably to their new naval station on
the Chinese coast. The announcement
was coupled with the statement that the
German vessels were needed there.
This may be the case, for the story has
come to Washington that the Chinese
have been abusing German citizens al
most in the shadow of the Chinese cap
ital, at Tien Tsin.

HAVANA, Feb. 27.-The banquet at
the Tacon last evening proved a brill
iantly successful affair. Governor Gen.
eral Brooke and Major General Lee
spoke. Cubans generally regard the oc-
currences at the function as the most
promising auguries of Cuban independ-
ence since the peace protocol was
signed. The tendency of all the speeches
was toward independence for Cuba,
with eulogies for Gomez and with as
sertions that he must nevermore leave
the island. The audience called for
speech from General Lee. His re-
marks and those of General Brooke
were translated for the benefit of the
assembly by Senor Pablo Desvernines,
secretary of the department. of finance,
Both the American generals repeated
former statements of the military adj
ministration, chiefly along the line of
assurance that the United States in
tended to establish stable government
in the island and then to deliver it to
the Cubans themselves. This was
vociferously applauded.
General Gomez withdrew from the
theater about midnight. Crowds in the
streets applauded him wildly as he

of rest, said last night to a friend: "This
