' HAWAII ALL RIGHT That Republic Formally Recog nized by Cleveland. HIS CORDIAL LETTER TO DOLE Minister Willis Calls on the Hawaiian President and Presents Him With the Letter of Recognition of the Republic by the United States. " V San Francisco, September 6. Advices by the steamship Belgic from Honolulu under date of August 28 say ; " ' Minister Willis called on President Dole yesterday, and presented him with Cleveland's letter of recognition of the Republic. The Cabinet, as well as Min ister Thurston, were present. Minister Willis addressed the President as follows : " The right of the people of the Ha waiian Islands to establish their own form of government has been formally " acknowledged both by the executive and the legislative departments of the United States. It seemed proper for me there fore, so far as I, the diplomatic agent, had the right to extend to the Republic of Hawaii, it having been created under the forms of law and existing without effective opposition. The action thus taken has, I am glad to state, been fully " approved by the proper authorities at Washington.- As the highest evidence of that fact I have received an autograph letter from the President, addressed to ' you as President of this Republic. In delivering this letter, as instructed, per mit me to join in its friendly sentiments ' and to express the hope that through the government now inaugurated peace, prosperity and happiness will be secured to all the people of these Islands." He then presented the following letter from President Cleveland, signed by See- retary Great) am,, and addressed to San ford B. Dole, President of the Republic of Hawaii: 1 ' ' " " Great and Good Friend : I have re ceived your letter of the 7th ultimo, by which you announce the establishment . and proclamation of the Republic of Ha waii July 4, 1894, and your assumption of the office of President with all the formalities prescribed by the constitu tion thereof. I cordially reciprocate the , feelings you express for the continuance ' of the friendly relations which have ex isted between the United States and the Hawaiian Islands, and assure you of my best wishes for your personal prosper ity." In reply to this letter President Dole said to Minister Willis: " It is with sincere gratification that I have received the information that the 1 President of the United States has con firmed the recognition so promptly ex tended by your excellency to the Repub lic of Hawaii. Permit me on behalf of the Hawaiian people to reciprocate the friendly sentiments expressed by you to ward this government and to assure you of our desire that the relations of comity and of commercial intercourse, which shall be mutually advantageous, may ever exist between the two countries.' The confirmation of the reported recog nition has taken the wind out of the royalist sails, and even the most rabid of them acknowledge that the career of the ex-Queen is now ended. One prominent royalist, who expressed the views of x many, Baid last evening: r "The recognition is complete. We must acknowlege that fact. But if the royalistcommission, consisting of Parker, Wildemann and Cummings, had never gone to Washington the Republic would never have been recognized. They have ruined the Queen's cause as thoroughly as though they had taken a request from the Queen for annexation." A slight trouble seemsto be brewing in the government camp in spite of the recognition news. The Schutzen Club, an organization originally formed by German supporters of the provisional government, but which has since grown to a large size and has taken in all nation alities, has sent a set of resolutions to the government announcing that if some of their members are not given govern ment positions at once, the club, as a body, will withdraw its support from the powers that be. No answer has been sent yet, and the matter will come up in the Council to-morrow. The first elec tion under the Republic will be held during the last week in October, when Senators and Representatives will be elected. Every inducement is being of fered to make the natives register, and they seem to be rapidly falling into line. Barber Shop WAR DOCUMENT. The Ploolamatlon of the Chinese Em- ' ' ' peror Declaring War. , San Francisco, September 5. The steamship Belgic arrived from Hong Kong and Yokohama via Honolulu, bring ing Yokohama advices to August 15 and Hong Kong to August 1. At Peking August 1 the following edict was issued by the Emperor : s ". . .' " Corea has been our tributary for the past. 200 odd years. ; She has given us tribute all this time, which is a matter known t all the world. For the past dozen years or so she has been troubled by repeated insurrections,' and we, in sympathy with our small tributary, have as repeatedly sent succor to her aid. eventually placing a garrison in her capital to protect her interests. In May of this year another rebellion was begun in Corea, and the King repeatedly asked tor aid from us to put down the re bellion. We then - ordered Li Hung unang to send troops to Uorea, and they had barely reached Yashan when the rebels scattered. But the Wo Jen (an ancient name for the Japanese, expres sive of the greatest contempt) without any cause whatever suddenly sent their troops to Uorea, and entered Seoul, the capital of Corea, reinforcing them con stantly until they have exceeded 10,000 men. in the meantime the Japanese torced the uorean King to change nis form of government, showing a disposi tion in every wav to hnllv the 1nraanR. It was found a difficult matter to reason with the Wo Jen. - "Although we have been in the habit of assisting our tributaries, we have never interfered with their internal gov' ernment. Japan's treaty with Corea was as one country with another there is no law lor sending large armies to country and bullying it in this way and compelling it to change its system of government. The various powers are united in condemning the conduct of the Japanese, and can give no reasonable name to the army she now has in Corea. Nor has Japan been amenable to reason, nor would she listen to the exhortation to withdraw her troops and confer ami' cably upon what should be done in Co rea. On the contrary, Japan has shown herself bellicose without regard to ap pearances, and has been increasing her forces there. Her conduct alarmed the people of Corea, as well as our merchants there ; and so we sent more troops over to protect them. Judge of our surprise, then, when half way to Corea a number of Wo Jen ships suddenly appeared and, taking advantage of our unprepared condition, opened nre on our transports at a spot on the sea coast near Yashan, and damaged them, thus causing us to suffer from treacherous conduct, which could not be foretold by us. "As Japan has violated treaties and has not observed international law and is now running rampant with her false and treacherous actions, commencing hostilitiea herself and laying herself open to condemnation by the various powers at large, we therefore desire to make it known to the world that we have always followed the paths of philanthropy and perfect justice throughout the whole complications, while the Wo Jen on the other hand have broken all the laws of nations and treaties, so that it became impossible to bear with them. Hence we commanded Li Hung Chang to give strict orders to - our various armies to hasten with all speed to root the Wo Jen out of their lair. He is to send succes sive armies of valiant men to Corea in order to save the Coreans from bondage. We also commanded the Manchu Gen erals, Viceroys and Governors of the maritime provinces, as well as the commanders-in-chief of the various armies, to prepare for war and make every effort to fire on the Wo Jen ships, if they come into port, and to utterly destroy them. We exhort our Generals to refrain from the least laxity in obeying our commands in order to avoid severe punishment at our hands. Let all know this edict as if addressed to themselves individually. Respect this." THE WAE FEELING. London, September 5. A Shanghai dispatch says, Chinese recruits are ar riving at Tien ' Tsui,, where they are equipped. The province of Shang Tung is discontented, and no sympathy is ex pressed with the war against Japan. The inhabitants regard the war with Japan as directed against the govern ment, and not against the people of China. In Manchuria the people- are intensely anti-foreign, and urge most active opposition to the Japanese. A man was tortured at Ning Po as a Japan ese spy. The man was not a Jap, but a native of China. Two Japanese in Shang hai arrested as spies were surrendered yesterday to the native officials by the American Consul. The foreign popula tion at Shanghai is indignant at this action. The Chinese claim the right to arrest Japanese within the limits of the settlement. The United States govern ment has instructed its Consuls not to interfere in any way in the difficulties between China and Japan. - ' Receivers Appointed. Salt Lake, September 6. Judge Mer ritt to-day appointed S. H. H. Clark, Oliver W. Mink, E. Ellery Anderson. F. R. Coudert and J. W. Doane as receivers of the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern road. Judge Marshall on be half of the American Loan and Trust Company asked for a reasonable post ponement in order to allow his clients, who were trustees of the consolidated mortgage, to make application for a sep arate receivership. ... ; ' , . ." Hinckley Pleaded Guilty. . Moscow, Idaho, September 6. The Hinckley case was called this morning in the District Court. The counsel for the defendant withdrew their demurrer, and the prisoner pleaded guilty to three charges of forgery. He will be sentenced to-morrow morning. Hinckley is the Deputy Auditor who embezzled $20,000 of the county's money by a system of bogus warrants. . - M. EZETA TESTIFIES He and His Fellow Refugees Before Judge Morrow. THE CASE GOES OVER AGAIN, The Case Will be Decided According to the Evidence Unless Habeas Corpus Proceedings Are Begun Depositions Mot Entirely Satisfactory. San Francisco, September 7. The government of San Salvador has ex hausted its stock of ; depositions, and Seems to have no oral testimony to offer in the extradition proceedings now pend ing in the United States District Court here against General Ezeta and his fel low refugees. The depositions presented o far have not been entirely satisfactory to the prosecution, inasmuch as a great deal of testimony has been stricken out under the ruling of the court that Ameri can law relating to admissibility of evi dence must obtain during the proceed' ings. The first deposition relates to the killing of Thomas (Jan as, a teamster whom General Ezeta and Juan Cien f uegos encountered during their flight to the sea. . The second accuses General Cienfuegoa and Manuel Cassin with shooting at Andros A may a, with whom Uassin was at war. The third deposr tion is in connection with the forcible taking of $2,584 from the International Bank of Salvador and Nicaragua by Gen eral Ezeta. Then came a long accusation charging the refugees with shooting uesar Aiiaro and tne Hanging ot uas- simo Henriquez, revolutionists who had opposed Ezeta's cause. Other charges of burning houses and shooting other persons were brought out. very soon alter the convening of the court this morning counsel for the prose' cution announced that it had no further depositions at hand. Dr. Calderon, the local Consul for San savador, was sworn. He testified that documents intended as evidence against the accused had been dispatched to him, and would arrive on the next steamer from Central America. Upon this . showing the prosecution moved for a continuance of the case. Judge Morrow refused to grat a con tinuance. The defense then moved for a dismissal of the charges, asserting that sufficient evidence to hold the prisoners had not been adduced; This motion, too, was overruled. The defense after some delay decided to put in evidence to substantiate their plea of lack of juris diction of the United States courts. Commander Thomas of the gunboat Bennington was called to the witness stand. It was the announced intention of the defense to prove that the prison ers had really been kidnaped into the country, their demands to be permitted to leave the gunboat at La Libertad and Acapulco having been refused, and that thev could not be considered within the urisdiction of the court, inasmuch as they had been forcibly and illegally landed upon American soil. Commander Thomas testified briefly as to the inci dents of the rebellion in Salvador,, but was prevented from stating why he had detained the refugees on board the Ben nington.' Judge Morrow , finally ruled that the province of the court was to consider the prisoners within its iuris- diction and not to consider the means by which they nad reached there. In other words, the court decided not to go be hind the returns of the United States Marshal. . This means that, unless re sort is had. to habeas corpus proceedings in another court, the prisoners will be tried on the merits of the evidence pre sented against them by the government of San Salvador. Ezeta was called as a witness in his own behalf. He denied the charge that he.caused Henriquez to be hanged, and said - that he did not know of his death until informed of it by his officers. Ezeta added, however, that he thought Henri quez had been well hanged, because he was a rebel. He Baid that he killed Thomas Canas in self-defense, and that the money taken from the Hank of .Nic aragua was merely borrowed to pay his soldiers. General Colcho was also ex amined, but there are no specific charges against him. The case went over. THE CHINESE TREATY. No Further Action Taken by China on Account of the War. Washington, September 7. Before Secretary Gresham left for the West he had a conference with the Chinese Min ister concerning the Chinese , treaty, which was ratified by the Senate a short time before adjournment. Minister Yang Yui told Secretary Gresham that, owing to the war, no action has been taken by the Chinese government. China has been officially notified by the State De partment of the ratification of the treaty on the part of the United States, and as soon as the treaty is ratified by Uhina and official notice given the United States ratifications will be exchanged by the two governments and proclamations issued. No action will be taken by the United States looking to the enforcement of the treaty until President Cleveland issues the proclamation. Then the Sec retary of the Treasury will issue instruc tions to Collectors of Customs in accord ance with the treaty. Secretary Gresham and the Chinese Minister discussed the present ' permits of the treaty, and the Minister was.assured as Boon as the ac tion of his government was officially re ceived the United States would proceed with its part of the contract. .; Against the Contract System. New York, September 6. The strike of carpenters against the " lumping " or contract system has begun. Fifteen hundred man are out. ' MISSISSIPPI'S WARRANTS. The Officers of the Bank Note Company ' to be Arrested. ' Washington, ! September 6. Chief Hazen of the treasury secret service re ceived a telegram to-day announcing the arrest in St. Louis, Mo., this morning of Secretary Smith of the St. ' Louis Bank Note Company. This company, it will ba remembered, printed and engraved the 16 and IM warrants of Mississippi, which bore a striking resemblance to United States money. The President of the company will be arrested when he returns to St. Louis, and Agent Holmes of the company, who is in charge of the unicago branch, will also be looked alter, in the meantime the United states Dis trict Attorney at Jackson, Miss., is pre paring a case against the State, Gov ernor stone and others in the same case, The Mississippi officials refused to call in the warrants, but the fact that they have been declared illegal by the general government has, it is said, had the effect of destroying public confidence in them as money, and the banks refuse longer to iaKe mem. THREATENED UPRISING. Indians In Northwest Territory Prepar- ' ' lng for an Outbreak. ' ' Battlefobd, N. W. T., September 6. We are threatened with an Indian up rising. Saturday a settler named Day brought word that the Indians around Jackfish Lake had risen and seized all the guns and ammunitien and horses belonging to settlers in the neighbor hood. It is said Gabriel Dumont is there and is inciting the Indians to make trouble. That story, however, is not sustained by any evidence, and may have no foundation in fact, Thirty of the mounted police went out there late Saturday night, and nothing has been heard as to their movements since their departure. Much anxiety is felt. The Indians are non-treaty Indians, and be long to the Sotos. All the white women have been removed to one large, house, which is in itself a sign of danger. . Six of the young Indians in the Industrial school ran away two days ago, and are supposed to have joined their brethren who are threatening trouble. TO LIGHT THE RIVER. Commander Farenholt to Report as to , . the Proper Sites, j . i - Washington, September 6.

COLUMBIA EIVEB LIGHT VESSEL. Portland,' Or., September 6. Com mander Farenholt, United States navy, inspector, of the thirteenth lighthouse district, with headquarters in this city, stated yesterday that in accordance with orders the Columbia river ' light vessel No. 50 would be replaced on her station about four miles to the southward of the entrance to "the Columbia river. The tender Manzanita towed the light vessel from Astoria across the bar on that date, but because of bad weather she was re turned inside the .bar to anchorage off Fort. Stevens, and will be replaced on her station as early as practicable. , ,. SCANNELL'S CASE. The Contempt Proceedings Against Him : Continued. " . Omaha,' September 6. The trial of Bishop Scannell for contempt of the Dis trict Court in refusing to open St. Paul's Church at the court's order was con tinued to-day. The Bishop was called to the stand, but refused to testify, as he was the defendant in a criminal action, and was sustained by the court. Later the Bishop was examined by the defense. He testified to the conversation he had held with his parishioners, and which had been offered in evidence by the State. His version differed in no material respect from those preceding him. He stated that he had refused to send a priest, as requested by the committe, or to open the church for school purposes until thev had settled their grievances and made arrangements to pay their debts. - The case was continued to Sep tember 17. , ' IN DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES. Indications That the Corean Minister . . Sympathizes With China. San Francisco, September 6. If the attitude of the Corean Minister, who is this city, toward the two Oriental powers now engaged in war is any indi cation of the feeling which Corea enter tains for its neighboring nations, then Corea is the firm friend of China. The Minister arrived here from Washington few days ago on his way home, lie had intended to sail on the China, but became ill and had to postpone his de parture. He declined the services of an American doctor, and also spurned the services of a Japanese physician, who offei ed to attend him.

Rear Admiral Walker is in the city for the purpose of laying before the Navy De partment his information acquired in his recent trip to the Hawaiian Islands. Speaking to-day of the affairs in the Isl anda, he said : .'. . "Everything was quiet at Honolulu when I left there in August, and there was no prospect of an outbreak. The new government seems to be firmly es tablished and thoroughly competent to take care of itself, unless there is inter ference from the outside. Pearl Harbor, where it is proposed to establish a United States coaling station, is a beautv. It is one of the finest harbors in the world, and is large enough to accommodate all the ships afloat. AH it wants is the re moval of a little bar at its entrance. This bar is all sand, and can be easily taken out in reasonable time and at ' small expense. It was thoroughly sur veyed while 1 was there bv Max Wood. one of our officers." ' - ' ' " How about annexation?" "Oh.
