ENGLAND IN THE GAME
American Annexation of Ha
waii Will Be Protested.
BUT WILL NOT BE BELLIGERENT
She Merely Hope to Persuade Uncle
Sam to Giro Up Neckar lslaud--Happening
In Hawaii.
San Francisco, Sept. 29. The steam
Bhip Australia arrived this morning from
Honolulu with the following Hawaiian
advices :
Honolulu, Sept. 22. When the ques
tion of annexation of the "Hawaiian isl
ands comes up before the United States
senate, England will make a protest.
This protest will not be of a belligerent
nature, and will be only the forerunner
of a scheme to obtain control of Neckar
island for cable purposes.
For some time past English war ves
sels have been besieging the islands in
the Pacific, but have kept their hands
off Hawaiian territory. In May. 1894,
President Dole had reason to believe
that England had her eyes on Neckar
island. He acted promptly, and on the
25th of May a vessel was chartered and
sailed the same day for the ialand. Cap
tain James A. King, a minister of the
interior, was in charge of the expedition.
The island was reached two days later,
and the following proclamation was
lead:
"I, James A. King, minister of the in
terior of the. provisional government of
the Hawaiian islands, take possession of
this island, known as Neckar island, as
a part of Hawaiian territory ; having
been claimed by the Hawaiian govern
ment since the year 1845, when an expe
dition under Captain Paty was sent to
survey said island."
Both the United States and Hawaiian
governments know positively that Eng- j
land does not object to annexation of the
islands ; but she must have a cable land
ing near Honolulu, and a landing most
be on British soil. Neckar island is
practically worthless to Hawaii, and it is
believed that the United StateB govern
ment will readily cede the barren rock to
please England.
When Captain King visited Neckar
island it was found to be almost a sterile
heap of volcanic rocks, nearly 300 feet
high, with a few patches of coarse grass
on the surface.
Representative J. G. Cannon, of Illi
nois ; H. C. Laudenelager, of New Jer
sey: A. S. Berry, of Kentucky, and J.
A. Tawley, of Minnesota, and their fam
ilies leave for San Francisco today, after
a short stay in this country. Senator
Morgan will remain several weeks
longer. During the party's stay they
have been conducted to the .different
points of interest, and have had every
thing pertaining to Hawaii explained to
them. Many social functions have been
given in their honor. On the evening of
the 20th a public reception was tendered
Senator Morgan. It took place at the
United States legation, and was largely
attended. .
Senator Morgan and the congressmen
visited Pearl harbor yesterday. The
latest charts, together with a brief
sketch of the work already accom
plished by the Pennington survey party,
were laid before the senator and bis col
leagues. ...... t . '
It has been claimed -. that representa
tive Cannon is opposed to annexation.
In an interview he said : r ?
"You can rest assured that I. have not
committed myself -against annexation.
I do not care what you hear to the con-

trary, no man can eay that I am pledged
against the annexation of the Islands.
I dislike going into print on this question
at the present time. I came here for
pleasure and to see and learn all I pos
sibly could during the short period of
my stay. I can truthfully say that I
am greatly impressed with my trip to
Hawaii."
Congressman Cannon is chairman of
the house appropriation committee.
He has always opposed the allowance
of any large appropriation for the im
provement of Pearl harbor.
Congressman Berry talks freely. He
said :
"I was favorable to a political anion
before I came here, and my visit has
only strengthened me . in my position.
I feel confident that annexation will
come during the next session of con
gress." Congressman Laudenelager was non
committal when interviewed. He said :
"Not being on American soil, I would
prefer not to talk on the subject. You
will hear very Bhortly how I feel about
the matter, for I intend to ventilate my
views when I return borne. I can say
that I was favorably impressed with the
American colony in Hawaii."

Nog ales, Ariz., Sept. 29. Captain T.
C. Cox, and old and experienced mining
man from Tuolumne county, California,
has just returned from the Yaqui coun
try in Mexico, and brings the first
authentic information about the gold
region there. . '
He described the country as of a roll
ing surface, about thirty-five by sixty
miles in area, and says the gold is found
in the foothills at the edge. It is reached
by road from Ortiz station on the Sono-
ra railway, 215 miles south of Nogales,
and 40 miles north of Guaymas. Cap
tain Cox says the ground is very rich
placer. The gold is coarse and heavy
and is well washed. Captain Cox re
ports that in the vicinity are many
quartz ledges, from six to ten feet of free
milling ore.
