THE HAWAIIAN PUBLIC DEBT.
Further Legislation Proposed to En-
able Secretary Gage to Take
it Up.

Washington. May 10:-A meeting OF
the foreign relations committee OF the
senate was held yesterday, at which
was discussed the proposition to take
up the Indebtedness of Hawaii, as as
suned by the United States, when the
resolution anneNing Hawaii to this
country was adopted. Secretary Gage
explained the necessity for additional
authority before he could take action
tc wipe out the Indebtedness. The res
olution of annexation provided for the
taking up of bonds and other indebted
ness to the amount of 81. OCT, ,OOO, but it
has been developed that the full
amount of Indebtedness is approXi-
nate;y $a.60O,OO0. including the liapili-
ties of the Hawaiian postal savings
hank.
\ bill was drawn authorizing the
secretary to take up this Indebtedness
and the committee authorized a favor
abe report to be made on it. 1t is
likely that Senator Daniel, of Virginia,
who has the matter in charge, will
make a report to the senate to-day

THE CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS.

Havana, May 1O.-Further investiga-

be almost impossible that Neely could
have committed them alone. 1t is now
believed that sufficient evidence will

arrests. Although no charges have
yet been made against anyone, Mr..
Runcie has heen approached by one
man who is under suspicion with re-
quest that he undertake his defense in
case charge is brought against him.
The Cubans do not say much regard
ing the disclosures, but they smile de-
risively at the de, elcpment of large
defalcation, frlnd that must nave

GLOOMY OUTLOOK IN INDIA.
The Effects of Last Years Drought Are
Simply Realizing, and Recovery
Will be Slow.

Lear, chief Justice of Bengal and
chairman of the famine relief commit
tee. ca bling TO the lord mayor of Lon
don, Mr.. y. j. Newton, whose fund
reached e23G000 yesterday, calls at
tention to the iact that this is the mo-
n,ent when the money is most urgent
ly needed to assist the peasantry with
seed and cattle for plowing in view of
the coming monsoon.
The latest mails from India give ad-
ditionai details of the calamity which
has befallen '''The brightest jewel in
the imperial crown" a correspond
eut. writing from Nagpore, capital OF
the central provinces, on April 20,
says:
1T is impossible to convey by means
OF mere figures any adequate idea OF
tl.- raralyzing effect of drought such
as India is now experiencing. We can
lump together statistics showing the
actual loss of the government. This.
however, takes no account of the fur
thcr loss to the great mass of agrl-
cu'turists, who have exhausted every
resource in the struggle, and who
lave been left penniless and deeper in
the tolls of the usurer, of the lands
Which lie fallow for need of cattle; of
stagnation in every branch of trade in
consequence of the blight which over
! hes the lands.
Tho net cost to the government will
be eight and a quarter million pounds
sterling; the value of the wheat crop
destroyed is eight to ten millions
sterling, and of the cotton crop seven
millions, while the great oil seed crop
is noneXistent outside of Bengal, the
northwest provinces and Dude.
; ''On a moderate computation the cul-
tivators of Bombay province have lost
1.,0O0,0 600 on food crops and e3,OOO,-
600 on cotton.
More serious and more far-reaching

tie awful mortality in cattle. In the

"Given a fair season, the Indian peas

er.' to an unusual degree. First, the
! occurrence of the second drought be-
for, the traces of the previous one had
