Holding juiry on the Failure tare Him. A court of inquiry has been held at Bulu- wayo, Matabeleland, to ascertain the reason for the failure of Maj. Forbes and his col- umn to capture King Lobengula. The evi- dence showed that the whole column es- caped disaster only by the merest chance. Dr. Jameson, administrator for the South African Chartered Company, sent a dis- patch from Buluwayo on December 31 sa; ing that another large patrol ing in the direction taken by oot Wilton after he was repulsed by the Matabeles on the Shanhani river. A public banquet was given by the mayor and citizens of Cape Town last evening to Premier Cecil Rhodes, who has just re- turned from the scene of the Matabele campaign. The premier was received en- stically. Part of his speech was as follows: “The early project formerly discussed with Sir Hercules Robinson and approved by him has been achieved. We have secured the Cape Hinterland and have subjected one of the most savage portions of Africa. The colonists were obliged to either settle the question themselves or leave the country, abandoning all their interests in it. They chose the former and vanquished a power equal to the Zulus. They had been ridicul- ed bitterly by that cynical sybarite, Henry Labouchere, and other Englishmen who were opposed to the subjugation of the Matabele.”” After defending the course of the char- tered company in the Matabele campaign, Premier Rhodes spoke thus of the ques- tions of imperial control and republican sentiment: “I am not opposed to the crown if the crown recognizes its duties to the colonies. If those duties are not recognized the colonies may deal elsewhere. The day is coming when the whole system will be assimilated with that of Cape Colony and the neighboring states in one united policy.” DISTURBANCES IN SICILY. A Slight Improvement in the Situa- tion Reported. Palermo, Sicily, has been filled with ru- mbrs since Saturday morning that an at- tempt will be made to mob the prisons and release Deputy Giuseppe de Felice, the socialist leader. Saturday night, therefore, the guard at the prison was increased, but there was no sign of an approaching at- tack on the building. A renewal of the at- tempt to cut the cable from Palermo to Italy has caused Gen. Morra di Lavriano, commander-in-chief in Sicily, to put mounted guards at the cable landing. The expected decree postponing the ma- turity of bills of exchange was published yesterday. Measures prolonging the periods of agrarian contracts in Sicily are said to be impending. Premier Crispi has re- ceived both from Sicily and the mainland many telegrams and letters congratulating him upon his energetic policy and espe- cially upon the arrests of Deputy de Felice and other high members of the Fasci Det Laboratori. The result of the general serach by the police is said to be the discov- ery of a plot, in which Deputy de Felice is concerned with foreign anarchists or | socialists. A letter from the socialist exile, Cipriani, was found in a box from the house of De Felice. In it Cipriani urged De Felice to confine his work to Sicily, as he himself would take care of the socialist movement in central Italy. About 150 anarchists began parading the streets last evening with red: flags and revolutionary banners. Many of them shouted “Hurrah for the revolution.” When they were ordered by the police to disperse one of them fired a revolver. The police charged and the anarchists tried to stand their ground. During the fight a policeman was stabbed in the arm. Three anarchists were arrested and the rest were put to flight. The anarchists in Naples gathered in the street, some two hundred men shouting “Down with the taxes; hurrah for the revo- lution!" They were dispersed with little difficulty, after having injured but one per- son. The socialist deputies, Agnini, Ferri and Prampolini, started for Palermo last even- ing with the avowed intention of declaring their disapproval of the revolt and exhort- to ing the people to restore peace island. the ‘The Baron de Wagstaffe, military attache to the Russian legation at Paris, arrived at New York from Southampton on tie steam- ship Paris on Saturday.

TTS GENERAL CHARACTER OUTLINED It is Claimed That There Has Been No Change EXCEPT IN THE QUEEN The efforts to belittle the importance of the news brought from Honolulu by the Corwin are not meeting with much success. When that vessel was sent to Honolulu with supplementary instructions to Min- ister Willis, as to his course of action in bringing about the restoration of the queen, it was with the distinct understanding that she was to be used by him in communicat- ing with the home government in a case of emergency. It is therefore regarded as not at all probable that Mr. Willis would have sent her all the way to San Francisco merely to inform the Secretary of State that “the situation remains unchanged.” On the other hand, it may be accepted as true that the sole use of the Corwin on this trip was to notify the Secretary of State that there had been a change in the situa- tion and a most important one at that. The Hawalian situation, as developed by the official dispatches received by the Sec- retary of State Friday night from Minister Willis, is tersely described by one of the favored organs of the administration as follows: “The President has reached the limits of his constitutional powers in his efforts to rectify the gross outrage perpetrated by Minister Stevens in Hawali. The efforts have failed. “Nothing short of a resort to force of arms, which Congress alone has authority to authorize, will give the queen her rights, of which she was wrongfully deprived through the instrumentality of representa- tives of the United States. President Dole’s Letter. This statement corroborates The Star's story of the nature of the latest advices frcm Honolulu. There is no longer any doubt that the queen accepted the condi- tions imposed by the President and that inister Wlilis undertook to execute his instructions for her restoration to the | throne. Nor is there any doubt that he met a dec'ded check when he politely requested President Dole to abdicate in her favor. Mr. Dole replied to his request in writing, and that letter, undoubtedly, is included in Minister Willis’ budget to the Secretary of State notifying him that he has not yet been able to “compass a peaceful adjust- ment of the difficulty.” Although the text of Mr. Dole’s letter to Minister Willis, explaining why he will not surrender the government to the queen, is | temporarily withheld from the public, it ts | beiieved that it follows closely the lines of | Minister Thurston's letter to Secretary Gresham, written the day he left Washing- ton for Honolulu. In that letter Minister Thurston contend- ed that the provisional government was a duly organized and fully recognized inde- pendent government to which the United States had duly accredited a representative. That the United States had acquired no jurisdiction over the independent sovereign State of Hawall, either by conquest, treaty or voluntary submission by Hawaii to a decision in the nature of arbitration. That there had been no submission to arbi- | tration, in that no request was made or | granted to hear and to cross-examine evi- | dence produced by the opposing party or | to produce evidence on its own side. That the-provisional government had re- | ceived no notice that it was on trial for its | life. He contended that the proclamation | of the provisional government that it was exist until terms of union with the | United States have been negotiated and { i | i agreed upon” did not mean that because annexation had not yet been consummated, the provisional government was therefore terminated. No Ai ority Was Given. Minister Thurston urged that the fact that the United States minister, with or without the authority of his governmen® may have trespassed upon international rights did not confer jurisdiction on the United States to again do so. If the United States minister or naval officers had-exceed- ed their authority, they were responsible to their government. If the ex-queen abdicated under the be- Nef that the provisional government would submit the question to the United States that does not vest a jurisdiction in the United States. If the provisional government had to such submission, which is not admitted, the United States was no party to the agreement, and, therefore, has no jurisdic- tion. Even if a formal submission to the arbitration of the United States had been made that would vest no authority in the United States to enforce its own conclu- sions, It is believed that the above is the sub- stance of President Dole’s letter declining to accede to the request of Minister Willis. This belief is strengthened by the fact that Minister Thurston was in Honolulu at the time the demand was made, and knew, even better than Mr. Willis did, the senti- ment of the people of the United States on the subject. ‘The Queen Surprised Them. That Minister Willis should have gone to the extreme limit of his instructions is said to be both a surprise and a regret to the President and the Secretary of State. Although it could not be definitely pre- judged what the answer of the queen would be to the ultimatum of the President sent by the Corwin, it is not going too far to say that the administration officials did not expect that the queen would change her “extreme views” in opposition to the offer first made to her. it would be neces- sary for Minister Willis to proceed any further with the negotiations for her res- toration was not deemed probable. Had it not been for the confidence felt that the queen, through concern for her own safety, would adhere to her original determination not to grant amnesty it is extremely doubt- ful whether the President's message would have gone to Congress when it did. There is no question that the President thought the queen's refusal was final, and that there would be no occasion for further action by Minister Willis, at least until he had again heard from Washington. The Li Dispatch. In support of the theory that there has been no change in the Hawalian situation since the President referre? the question to Congress on the 18th ultimo, atten- tion is called to the last dispatch received from Minister Willis prior to that date. This dispatch was included in the co. respondence sent to the Senate. Its text 1 ‘HONOLULU, Dec. 4, 1543. nderstand message. Had no communi- cations from Washington, D. C., either to the United States admiral or to me since | my (our) arrival. One British man-of-war | and one Japanese man-of-war are here. | Active defensive preparations for several days; otherwise situation about the same. | The feeling intense; but hope to preserve status until further instructed. Govern- ment last Wednesday inquired as to au- thenticity of your published letter and in- tentions of the President. I have declined today to answer. Prompt action desirable. “WILLIS.” It is pointed out that there is a distinct announcement of intention “to preserve status until further instructed” if possible, and it is urged that the language of the President's message precludes the enter- taining of a supposition that further irstructions were sent to Mr. Willis after the meeting of Congress authorizing him | to break in uyon the status until Congress | had declared its wishes in the matter. i Not to Use Force. This dispatch indicates that Minister | Willis meant to preserve “status until fur- | ther instructed.” The Corwin arrived at) Honolulu December 11, bearing “further | instructions” to Minister Willis, which, in| part, provided that “should the queen ask | whether, if she accedes to conditions, active H steps will be taken by the United States | to effect her restoration, or to maintain her | authority thereafter, you will say that the | President cannot use force without author- ity of Congress. “Should the queen accept conditions, and ! the provisional government refuse to sur- | render, you will be governed by previous | instructions.” ! It is pointed out that there is nothing in| THE FIGHTING IN these instructions to prevent from asking the provisional abdicate. All that was necessary action was the consent of the queen to an act of amnesty. Mr. CONFIRMED BY CAPT. MUNGER. The News of the Auckland Dispatch Was True. A press dispatch from San Francisco sent last night says: Capt. Munger of the Corwin, said to a re- porter last night that the Auckland dispatch which stated that Minister Willis had made a formal demand for the surrender of the provisional government was true. Capt. Munger said his official position would not allow him to impart any further information, and on that account his lips were sealed. He refused to state whether or not there had been any trouble in Honolu- lu, or whether the Corwin was the bearer of President Dole's reply to Minister Willis. The attitude of Capt. Munger of the Cor- win toward the representatives of the pub- lic in general is without a precedent in this port. From the moment the Corwin arrived the men on board have been as inaccessible as if they were in mid ocean save for the brief interview with Capt. Munger of last night when the captain went ashore in his gig to mail a packet of letters. The captain saw fit to go ashore with the lette>s himself rather than to trust a mes- senger. It was when on shore in the very few minutes that the Corwin’s captain talk ed with a reporter and verified the correct ness of the Auckland cablegram. He also stated that the Corwin left Honolulu De- cember 24. The reporter quotes Capt. Munger as fol- lows: “I can tell you no more than came in that Auckland dispatch. It is no pleasure for me to hold news and information from the people, but then you must remembe> that I am powerless in the matter myself. Even if I knew the contents of the secret dispatches, as an officer and gentieman I could not reveal them without permission. Here I am within twenty minutes of my home and cannot get away. It's no pleas- ure, I assure you. But I will have to stay here for three or four days or may be a ——+e-+—_____ RACE TRACKS AT ODDs. The Fight Between the Rival Associa- tions at St. Louis. The bitter rivalry between the two racing associations opposite St. Louis in Liltinois has reached the stage where the courts will be called upon to interfere. The East St. Louis Jockey Club, controlled by Joseph Ullman, the bookmaker and writer of odds on all sorts of sporting events, is the older organization, and did a thriving business until the advent of the Madison Turf Asso- ciation. The latter introduced new methods and cut the East Side track’s business in half. The fight for patronage was a hot one from the start and now approaches the Kilkenny cat stage. Many rumors of compromise have been heard, but all came to nothing. Saturday, alleged details of what is accepted by the Madison people to be an attempt at con- spiracy and bribery, were laid before coun- sel for the latter and an opinion asked whether Ullman and his partners could be | proceeded against for criminal offense. P. H. Newman, secretary of the Madison track, asserts that Ullman made a money offer to the Madison treasurer to sell the lease of the track to the Ullman party. Failing in this, it is alleged he made an offer that if the treasurer would allow a month’s payment of the Madison lease to lapse, he (Ullman) could buy in the lease and would see that the Madison man was taken care of. A United Press reporter called upon Ull- man. He declared all the allegations to be | absolutely without foundation. “It is true that I once made an offer to purchase the ground on which the Madison track is laid out, but not the lease,” said he. “This offer was made to the owner of the ground and not to any of the Madison people.” euelaease en Lahon Heath, the publisher of Heath's Ccunterfeit Detector, died at Revere, Miss., Saturday night. Some thirty-five years ago he began to study the work of counterfeit- ers, and he secured the aid of the United States Treasury Department in his labors.
