by the state board OF charities, was
the total absence of any presentation

for putting the institution under the

ed to a large extent by tne refusal of
the investigators to 80 into that Ques-

decisions. He was with the majority

out of the Spanish-American war in
which Gray decided against the right

thorities believed We're giving aid and
assistance to the enemy. Gray always

ISLAND CLAIM NOT GOOD.
Government so Holds REGARDING
Capt. RosehiIIs Discovery.

Government SO Holds Regarding
Capt. RosehiI's Discovery.
Washington. Aug. 12.-It is learned
on good authority that the state de-
partment will refuse to recognize the
claim of Captain Andrew w. Rosehill
to the ownership OF Marcus island,
over which he raised the flag Of the
United States in 1899 1t is further
stated that this government will
probably acknowledge Japan's sover-
eighty over the place in the near
future.
The decision against Captain Rose
hill is based on his failure to comply
with the law Of the United States con.
corning guano islands. The discover
er must not only take actual posses.
sion, bur must promptly file a bond
with the secretary of the treasury,
the amount Of the bond to be fixed
by the secretary.
Captain Rosehill discovered the
island in 1889. but he did not file the
bond until this year on the eve Of his
departure from Honolulu with an ex-
petition 70 exploit the guano beds
In the meantime the Japanese sub
jects had been living on the island
and working the deposits. and in 1896
