A BREEZY INTERVIEW JOHN SHERMAN TALKS ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Ha Predicts that Spain Will Ultimately Low Caba-So Protectorate Proposed —The Mikado Sot reared—The Alaska Boundary—Oar Quar rel With Great Britain. Sherman on State Issues. New York, Aug. 0.—Thv World publishes an interview said to have been obtained with John Sherman, secretary of state, just previous to his return to Washington from Amagan sett, L 1. In this he is represented as saying: “Spain will lose Cuba. That seems to me to be certain. She cannot continue the struggle. Al ready the conflict has cost her more than 9300,000,000. Her money is gone and she can get no more. She has reached the limit of her borrowing capacity. She cannot pay back what she has already borrowed. The only thing left for her to do is to repudiate her debts. We had to do that after the revolution. Having repudiated them she can begin anew, but she will have to begin without Cuba. Tbat country has been devastated. The insurgents have been fighting with only the hope of ultimate success as their reward. The Spanish soldiers have been battling for pay. The pay will stop and then the conflict will stop, Spain is in no condition to wage war anywhere. The burdens placed upon her people to sustain the strug gle for retaining Cuba have been very heavy. Widespread discontent will come sooner or later within the Span ish kingdom. By stopping the strug gle, by w ithdrawing her troops from Cuba and by repudiating her debts is her only way to recover. Sooner or later she must do this. So far we have done nothing to arouse the anger of the Spanish people. We have gone on minding our own business, blind to the distress of Cuba and deaf to the pleadings of our own people who wanted the government to Interfere.” HAWAII AND JAPAN. f The secretary. wee asked as to whether there waa any truth in the report that the American flag1 was to be raised in Hawaii and a protectorate proclaimed. He replied: ‘T cannot divulge the instructions given to Min ister Bewail. What they are will de velop as time passea But I can say that there will be no change in the situation in Hawaii until Congress re convenes. There can be no change because the terms of the pending treaty, which have been approved by President McKinley, must be observed. There is nothing in this talk that a serious disagreement between this country and Japan will iollow any in terference on our part with the exist ing systems of government in Huwaii. Japan must certainly understand that this nation has never objected to the Japanese, and that whatever trouble it has had on this score was due to officials for whom we are not responsible and over whom wo have no control. If we had Hawaii. Japan would have no reason to fear tliat'Rer subjects would suffer from unfair treatment While I believe that Japan is entirely Innocent of any intention of assuming toward us a belligerent or threatening attitude, it may be well to remark that her attitude, no mat ter what it might be, would not affect our position in the least We have al ways believed that we have more right to take a stand in the management of the Hawaiian government and in the government of other lands similarly situated than any other country. We will insist upon maintaining our rights at any cost ” ALASKA BOUNDARY MATTER. “Have you taken any interest in the discovery of the new gold fields?" Mr. Sherman looked np in surprise: - “You mean the Klondike region? Of course I have. That is a matter that would naturally attract the attention of any man in my position. The fact that international complications may ensue has, of course, sharpened my in | terest in the subject There may be questions as to boundaries It has al ways been customary to consider the lines as running along the mainland. But occasionally it has been con tended that in laying the lines to determine the 30-mile line, meas urements should be made from the points of land extending farther into the water, or even from the islands. Whenever these claims were made the purposes of them have been apparent. They were made to advance the inter me wuiury matting1 mem, 11 a diiigreemcut arises over such a ques tion it will probably be because some of the islands prove to be of unusual value. This government is ready to maintain the rights of its citizens and to protect its own interests to the last degree. However, it is too early to speculate as to what may happen in Alaska. If difficulties arise we will be ready to face them, but 1 expect no trouble. Many of the stories that come from there are undoubtedly ex aggerated. 1 guess some of them are grossly exaggerated. It is also so whenever gold is found. The tales are built on hopes and imaginations as much as on the facta The statement is printed this morning that the mak ing of Dyea a port of entry Is likely to injure us financially. Whether or not it is a port of entry is of no special' consequence. The matter cute a small figure either way.” ENGLAND AND HER QUARRELS. *Our relations with England seem to have been restored to a friendlv basis.” "Oh, yes,” said Mr. Sherman with a laugh, "that cloud, if, indeed, there ever was a cloud, has blown com pletely away.” Folding his hands in his lap, the secretary said, with a slight trace of humor in hir voicq: "The «ei& con of their life, hare sometimes made things pretty warm for / Various nationa England never had any good reason to quarrel with us about them, because the seals were eaught and brought to her. Yon know we can't dress the skins in this country. We don’t know how to do it, and so when we capture a seal skin we have to send it to England to be dressed, and then it comes back to us. its origi nal owner, as an imported article. England is a great country, but it is not always safe to assume that she is ready to follow up every quarrel with sidering their location and the manner blowa She quarrels oftener than she fights It would be exceedingly diffi cult for her to fight ns all alone about our seal catching. Russia and Japan are in a similar position arid any quarrel between the United States and England on this score would, in all probability, involve those other two countries. It is my opinion that En gland would hesitate a long time be fore getting into such a scrape. Ja pan, as a nation, is not to be drispised. Her recent war with China showed the world that she ranges well to the front as a powerful country. Her peo ple number about 40,000,000. Shy is not beneath the contempt of any nation, and the time is coming when she must be considered. Rut I do not believe that we will ever have any serious difficulty with England. ■ Our refusal to be intimidated has had a salutary effect.” AFTER MR. FOSTER. ' Prof. Elliott Again Vlcoronsly AttacVl the Ex-Secretary. Ct.EVKt.AND, Ohio, Aug’. 0.—Prof. Henry W. Elliott, after reading an in terview in New York with John W. Foster, the commissioner sent by Presi dent McKinley to England to confer with Lord Salisbury relative to the Be ring sea matter, in which Mr. Foster said that the people of Washington knew Elliott, said: “So, Mr. John W. Foster has nothing to say in answer to my direct charge of his telling the President an untruth about myself. Well, perhaps that is the best thing for him to da I happen to have in my possession the black and white evi dence that he has violated the ninth commandment, he has ‘borne false witness against his neighbor.’ I will then call attention to this fact, he talks vaguely about my ‘animus’ and my ‘status.’ The American people have had a glut of this tomfoolery over fur seals and the prospect of hav ing it strung out two or three years longer under the lead of this incompe tent man is enough to sicken them. I predict that they will not stand the shame and imposition. I have always been under the impression, and am still convinced, that a man convicted of bearing false witness against his neighbor is not a fit man for association within the pri vate or official life of American citi zens. There is more under this than I can or desire to mention at the pres ent moment—this same amiable Mr. Hamlin, who is now asso ciated with Foster, said to me in 1894, that ‘they (the Foster associa tion) told me that you had sold your report to the British, but, my dear Mr. Elliott, you know we have never be lieved it.’ I intend to get the proof of this action on the part of Faster and his associates and then I shall add another Indictment disqualifying him from running the State department so as to discredit and injure American in terests and defame American citizens.” > REFUSE TO BE OUSTED. Judges KUgore and Springer Resist the Headsman. Washington, Aug. 9.—Judge “Buck” Kilgore and Judge William Springer, appointed to the Federal bench in the Indian territory by President Cleve land, have formally notified the de partment of justice that they will fight in the courts any efforts to o t them. Judges Kilgore and Springer were appointed in 1895. Judge Kilgore holds that he was appointed for a four years' term, and that he cannot be re moved sooner, while Judge Springer maintains that the appointment of a judge for the Territorial courts is sim ilar to that of any other Federal court, and is for life. President McKinley holds that the terms of officials end with the administration. Should the President decapitate either judge, pro ceedings w‘111 at once be Instituted to prevent the Republican judge taking his seat. At the same time judicial query will be instituted as to the right of the President to remove. The case promises to prove both interesting and without precedent. Chicago'* Illoycle Tax Void.

Many Hardship* Are to Be Surmounted and Fortune* Mot Sure After All— More People Leave for the North —Steamahlp Industry Boom* log—Klondyke Trade. Condition* Mot Basiling. Madison, Wla., Aug. J. C. Wil stead, since 1801 superintendent of the government reindeer farm in Alaska, now here on a vacation, said yester day that while the gold reports were not exaggerated in the least, the hard ships were terrible and few of those who were rushing to the new fields had any idea of the endurance re quired. A person having a good posi tion would be wise to keep it, in pref erence to going fortune hunting in Alaska. Many of them forget that they will be thousands of miles from civilization and entirely upon their own resources, and, even though they successfully weather the trip, there is no certainty that they will return loaded down with gold dust Of trad ing business Wilstead waxes enthusi astic, and he thinks in this line for tunes rivaling the wealth of the Hud son Bay trading companies will be made. Washixotom, Ang. A—J. D. Crois sant of this city, now in Alaska, in a letter written in July, dwelt upon the great rush for the Klondyke, declared that many of the stories of fortunes were overdrawn by those interested in the region in various ways and pre dicted intense disappointment and suffering for thousands. He said that claims along the Klondyke had all been taken and the only hope for new comers would be along other streams which had been partially prospected with poor success. He said that when he wrote there were hundreds bqund for the gold fields with neither money nor provisions and proper clothing and he believed scores Would die during the coming long winter. STILL MORE BRAVE THE COLD. Skattlb, Wash..Aug. «. —The steam ship Cleveland sailed for St Michael’s to-day with 200 passengers and 1,000 tons of freight for the new gold re gions. Among the passengers are Captain P. M. Ray and Lieutenant Riehardson, D. S. A., who will inves tigate the military necessities of Alaska, select a site for a fort and make preparations for troops from Fort Russell, Wyo., who will probably be sent to Alaska in the spring. The North American Transporta tion and Trading company has let a contract for the building of four more river steamers, making eight contracts let by the company in two weeks. All of the boats ore of large capacity. Deck hands for Yukon-bound vessels are in great demand and wages have been Increased from $35 to 310 a month. CUDAHY ON HIS BIG CLAIMS. Chicago, Aug. 6. — John Cudahy, head of the proposed 325,000,0D0 Alaska mining company, said that the company owned thirty placer claims, each as r.ch as the Klondyke, but would say nothing of the quartz claims. The Clover £eaf, south of Fort Cudahy and four miles from nav igable water, is the only quartz claim that will be worked In the near fu ture. The organization of the new com pany was completed at the Auditor ium annex to-day, the title to be the Cudahy-Healy Yukon and Klondyke Mining company. The following are the incorporators: John Cudahy, Michael Cudahy, C. L. Hutchinson, E. A. Hamill, Ely E. Weare, P. B. Weare, C. A. Weare, John J. Healy, C. H. Hamilton and Eli A. Gage. In corporation will be under West Vir ginia statutes. INSURANCE SCHEMES BLOCKED. Indianapolis, Ind.. Aug. The determination of the leading life in snranee companies to fcarry no risks on Klondyke explorers has fallen with dampening effect on the co-operative companies which were forming in this city and upon a number of- men who were preparing to start for Alaska during the coming winter. One of these companies intended to send ten representatives, each insured for 310, 000, giving each man 31,000 besides money for contingent expenses, all of them to co-operate in the search for gold, dividing equally with the com pany, and in case of death the insur ance money to be paid to the company. By each death the company stood to win 38. %00, on the oasis that not more than 31,500 would be spent on each representative. Another company simply designed carrying sufficient in surance to reimburse it for actual out lays. It is not thought that any of these companies will proceed further with the organization. A run ob tn« Vukon. Chicago, Aug. 6.—Uncle Sam soon will have an experimental farm in the Yukon valley, if Secretary Wilson’s pledge to P. B.

Wabrirotor, Aug1. 6.—No matter what the attitude of the Greater Re public of Central America may be. it ia the intention of the administration to recommend governmental control of the Nicaragua canal when Congress assembles next December. This was made plain at a conference at the state department, participated in by Secretaries Adee and Crimler, Senator Morgan, former Senator War ner Miller and Mr. Merry, the recent ly appointed minister to Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa Rica, regarding the eomplications which have grown out of the refusal of the governments of Nicaragua and Salvador to receive Mr. Merry.

Because his intended had persisted in taking a buggy ride with Jesse Cook, a handsome young grocer, on the evening before, Mr. Yoder decided yesterday morning that the marriage should not take place.

The Hawaiian and High Tariff Legisla tion Seriously Affecting Trade. New Yobk, Aug. 6.—Recent letters received in this city from Japan state that a strong anti-American feeling still exists in that country and that Americans are being boycotted on all sides by the Japanese. First the Ha waiian question stirred up the ill feel ing, which was afterwards heightened by the discussion in the United States Congress on the tariff when the propo sition was advanced to tax severely certain Japanese goods. The Japanese took this as a direct affront, and they have not lost an opportunity since to belittle Americans and all that per tains to this country.
