ENGLISH WANT
A SETTLEMENT 7
Reopening the Hawaiian
Land Question.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HONOLULU, Oct 27-The Government
sent by the China request for certain
other information regarding the letter
and opinion of Attorney General Griggs
respecting British claims, in connection
with the 1895 revolution here.
The instructions. If such they may be
called, received by the America Maru, ap-
pear rather vague. President Dole does
not construe the letter to be instructions,
strictly speaking. 1t is a fact that no
direction is given as TO what sort OF SETTLE
ments are to be made, when they snail
There may be q difference of opinion as
to whether the letter contains instructions
or not.
In referring the matters back to the
Hawaiian Government, the letter states
that they are resubmitted for consldera-
tion and settlement. The question is
how far does that go? Does it mean settle
ment on a basis of Attorney General
Griggs' reasoning, which is general in
character, or does it leave the matter en-
tirely in the hands of the Government or
Hawaii TO do as it pieases about II, the
United States holding to its former poncy
of having absolutely nothing TO do VIII
the questions?
President Dole thinks the matters are
again entirely in the hands OF the local
government, on practically the old basis.
There are those in town, however, who
think that as the matters were taken UP
years ago as the subject OF diplomatic
correspondence between Hawaii and
Great Britain they are still pending IN
much the same attitude, that following
annexation they must become a mater
between Washington and London. me
words consideration and settlement
may mean a good deal.

James H Lewis of Seattle, Wash, who
went to England to look after the inter

turned on the ST. Paul to-day. Mr.. Lewis
said
My objection to the modus vivendi is
that it accords to Canada all the privi-

which are allowed to Americans. Being
American territory, this course is OPP
posed to the one Canada has pursued by
a late legislative act, prohibiting any
mining rights taken up by US in the Atlin

vention. The War and Pension depart
ments do not regard him as an ordinary
crank as their letters to him testify.
The inventor refuses to divulge what his
strange instrument is, but perhaps some
person of a scientific turn Of mind might
guess from studying the hints which he
has dropped now and then.
Some time ago he called on the attorney
Of the Santa Fe Railroad and submitted
a scheme for equipping cars for protec-
tion against train robbers. The Santa Fe
attorney thought so much Of the plan that
he directed Evans to go ahead and tit up
q car as he planned, the company agree
ing to stand the expense. His later in
vention however, has nothing to do with
railroads.
For some time Evans has been seen by
his comrades at a blacksmith shop, MAX
ing something strange looking out of steel
and iron Asked what it was he said he
was making a bracket.
1T was on the 9Th of August last that l
made the discovery OF this strange
power" said Evans. Il was working in
my shop, when something happened that
showed me what could be done. l can
say this much. l make use of a power
that is well known, but which would be
useless in war but for the instrument
which l make to go with it If 1 should
tell the power you might guess the instru
ment's form and if l described the sort Of
instrument 1 make to go with it you
might guess the power I use. When
had finished everything 1 went away to
a lonely place for three days and tested
my invention. I found that l could do
more execution at a distance of half
mile from an object than a half dozen
men could with ordinary guns. The in
struments I use are not of an explosive
kind. The invention would be about as
useful in war for offensive as for de-
fensive purposes. l could equip soldiers
with it at an expense OF about so cents to
q man. 1t would certainly prove a great
weapon where decisive fight was on
A number of persons who have had
hints of Evans invention have tried to
learn details Of it, but he declines TO give
them out until he procures a patent. The

WOMEN AND CHILDREN
SENT FROM LADYSMITH

CAPE TOWN, Nov. g delayed in trans

the following from Ladysmith:
ION the suggestion of General White
the women and children were sent south
last evening. A large number OF men
left at the same time. Some Of these be-
haved badly toward the women.
Entire confidence is still reposed here
in General White and his staff, and it is
expected that another pitched battle will
dispel the lingering hope of the Beers
that they Will be able to take Ladysmith."
The British transport Ninevah arrived
yesterday from England, bringing the
New South Wales I.ancers from Alder
shot. The lancers were enthusiastically
welcomed by the municipal authorities
and the populace. The presence Of the
lancers was eagerly seized upon at once
as affording the people of Cape Colony an
opportunity of showing their gratitude
for the help rendered by a sister colony.
The news of the losses at Ladysmith
caused an unmistakable depression, espe-
cially when coupled with the fact the
Beers invaded the colony almost stimuli
taneously.
The Dutch of the colony are proving
themselves loyal to the British Govern
ment, and, so far as has been ascertained
few Of them have Joined the Beers.
The Boer prisoners have arrived at
Simonson, near Cape Town. where they
are well treated.

ny south of Burghersdorp, says trains
have ceased running between that point

the Beers have proclaimed the upper
