TO WAVE OVER HAWAII
An American Protectorate
Is Projected.
TO FORESTALL ACTION BY JAPAN
According to Honolulu Ad rices the
Protectorate W as to Be Been
Declared Yesterday.
San Tbancisco, Aug. 3. The steamer
Belgic arrived Irom the Orient, via
Honolulu, this morning, and brought
the following Hawaii adviceB under date
of July 27th :
The arrival of the steamer Moano from
San Francisco, due here July 29th,
means ranch for Hawaii. In close offi
cial circles it is generally understood
that United States Minister Sewell will
carry out his instructions received in
the last mail, which are said to be to
the effect that if the Moano brings word
, that congress failed to pass the annexa
" tion treaty, then Minister Sewell Is to
declare a protectorate and raise the
.American flag. Minister Sewell has had
frequent consultations with President
Dole within the past week and it is
believed that they have agreed upon a
program.
It is said that in view of the attitude
of Japan, Secretary Sherman ia of the
opinion that the United States' protec
tion is the only way to prevent hostile
action during the intervening months
before congress reconvenes. It ia ex
pec ted that, allowing for the require
ments of diplomatic etiquette, every
thing will be in readiness for the dec
laration of the protectorate on Monday,
August 2d. ,
Edwin Dun, ex-United States minister
to Japan, is a through passenger on
Belgic. He is en route for Washington
and expects to spend several weeks in
the United States before returning to
Japan. Dun believes in annexation,
but is of the opinion that the present
congress will never take favorable ac
tion on the treaty now before it. He
does not look for any rupture that may
disturb the friendly relations now exist
ing between the United States and
Japan, but he does believe the govern
ment has a just claim against the Ha
waiian government in connection with
the immigration trouble, although she
is not likely to" enforce her claims in
case the Hawaiian government refuses
to recognize them.
"There is no possible likelihood of
trouble between Japan and the United
States," said Mr. Dun, "despite all re
. ports to the contrary. I believe the
Japanese government will act favorably
upon the recent offer of arbitration
made by your government. The Jap
anese of all classes feel very bitterly
against your government, bat I may
venture the opinion that whatever the
outcome of the present correspondence
may be, Japan will never attempt to use
arms in enforcing her claims."
Denied at Washington, a
Washington, D. C, Aug. 3. At the
state department it is positively de
clared there has been no change in the
instructions given Minister Sewell or
.Admiral Beardslee touching upon their
'' altitude toward the Hawaiian question.
The admiral's instructions were to pro
tect American interests at all points
and to establish a protectorate in the
event only of a serious disturbance or
the commission of some oyert act. It
is not understood that the execution of
this order was at all dependent upon
the action or nonaction of congress upon

An Interview Yitn the Japanese Ailnls
ter at Mexico.
City of Mexico. Aug. 3. In an in
terview on the Hawaiian-Japanese con
troversy, Yoshibum Murota, Japanese
minister to Mexico, made the following
statement:
"There are many Japanese in Hawaii
and they Lave rights which might be in
terfered with in the event of annexation.
What if the United States respected
these rights? Id such a case there
might be no objection on the part of my
government. However, Hawaii is an
independent country in tne Pacific, and
Japan would prefer to have it kept inde
pendent. "Even if the United States should
carry out the policy of noninterference
in European or Eastera affairs, in case
the islands should become a part of the
American union, some contingency
migh arise for causing them to change
their policy of neutrality. For instance,
Honolulu is an important settlement,
and if America had any question with
Great Britain, the possesion of these
islands in the Pacific might lead aa an
accident in colonial politics to an ex
pansion of the American domain far be
yond their present intentions. This is
the reason we prefer to have Hawaii
wholly independent."
The minister said that all talk about
an alliance between Japan and Spain
against the United States is erroneous.
"No such thing is contemplated," he
said. "Japan owes Its modern renais
sance to the United States, through
whose efforts the country was thrown
open to the world. We consider the
United States in that sense our mother
country. Eyen if the United States
were to make a present of Hawaii to
Japan, it would not be accepted. The
Japanese have no ambition to annex
Hawaii, and as I eaid, would rather see
the islands independent and free."

Seattle, Aug. 2. The steamship Wil
Iamette, advertised to sail from Seattle
to Dyea tomorrow, will not get away nn
til Thursday. When she does go she
will carry 800 people and 300 head of
horses, the largest load that ever left
this city.
The steamship Al-Ki sails tomorrow
with about 200 people. The Rapid
Transit goes tonight with 268 horses,
and the George E. Starr is billed to
leave tomorrow with 100 passengers and
100 horses.
Edward Thorpe, who left Dawson City
about June 20th, to come to the coaBt
overland, with a large amount of money,
should have reached here by July 27th,
at the outside, but bis father, who lives
here, has heard nothing from him, and
is worried. The father has 100 cattle
waiting to take into the Clondyke, ' but
cannot start until his son arrives. It is
possible he may be on the Queen, due
tonight, but there is fear that he may
have been held up on the trail.
A party of six men from Saginaw,
Mich., arrived here today, en route for
the Clondyke. Another party of eight
men has arrived from Cripple Creek, to
go north. They are miners, and
have been sent out by Colorado
parties. '
EAST BOiD TO CLONOTKE.
Balem Man Claims One Could Be Quick
ly Opened.
New Tore, Aug. 3. A special to the
Herald from Washington says :
There is a short and easy route to the
rich gold fields of the Clondyke, accord
ing to a communication to the interior
department, from J. M. O. Lewis, a
civil engineer, of Salem, Oregon, who
says he can open up at small expense' a
route from south of the Copper river by
which the Clondyke may be reached by
a journey of not much more than 300
miles from the coast.
The route which be proposes will start
in from the mouth of Copper river near
the 20-mile glacier, about 25 miles east
of the entrance to Prince William Sound.
He says Copper river is navigable for
small steamers for many miles beyond
the mouth of its principal eastern trib
utary, called on the latest maps the
Chillina river, which is itself navigable
for a considerable distance.
From the head of navigation on the
Chillina, Mr. Lewis says either a high
oad or a railroad could be constructed
without great difficulty or heavy grade
through what the natives call "Low
pass," probably Scolai pass. From this
pass, the road would follow the valley of
White river to the point where it
empties into the Yukon on the edge of
the Clondyke gold fields.
Will Not Sail on Friday.
San Francisco, Aug. 3. The Pit
cairn, which will carry a party of gold
hunters to Dyea, will not sail on the 6th
ai advertised. A number of those who
have engaged passage made such a
storng protest against departing on Fri
day that they carried their point, and
the Pitcairn will not cast off her lines
until Saturday. Thus far 90 persons
have engaged passage, including ten
women from Oakland, San Leandro and
Lorin. Some of these have husbands at
Dawson or about to go there.
What use is there in eating when food
does you no good in fact, when it does
you more harm than good, for such is
the caee if it is not digested?
If you have a loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, tor it will
not be digested. You must restore the
digestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested, when
an appetite will com, and with it a re
lish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy; then you will
put fleBh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains food already digested and is a
digester of foods as well. Its action is
prompt and its effects permanent.
Doctors prescribe Laxol because it
has all tne virtues of Castor Oil and is
palatable.

Remarkable Care of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It has given me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a friend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I 'bought and took a 50
cent bottle; and now I can say that I
am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great Remedy,
and recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to me. Yours
gratefully, Henry Steinberger, Allen-
