Nathan Pago of Washington, tho lawyer who couducted the Mora claim agninst Spain, has juBt returned to the United States from a visit to England, France and Holland. Among other things he says: In Paris I met many highly educated Spaniards and they do not see how Spain con rotuin Cuba. They and others in Europe iiiiuK ii i ouiy a question or time when Cuba will go to tho United States. They do not boo any other solution of the problem, and thoy do not seem to grieve over tho situation. Spain is doriving little revenue from Cuba now. Tbe customs duties collected used te amount to $100,000,000 annually, and now thry have sunk to about $20,(.00, 000. This do 08 not pay one-half or one third of the interest on the national debt. The national debt of Spain held outside of the couu try amounts to $1,000,000,000, and tho funded debt incurred by tho last war in Cuba is $200,000,000. This question of Spain's indebted ness, of course, is discussed a great deal in Europe, and tho con clusion is that the war cannot be carried on much longer. Spain's credit cannot hold out. It is thought that when Sagasta be comes Prime Minister, instead of Canovas, no will inaugurate a different policy and wisely recog nize the inevitable. No ono for an instant in Europe who has givon any thought to this subject concedes tliat opain can bold Cuba. KILOIIAXA AKT LEAGUE. Lecture by D. Howard Hitchcock Till Evening.

MINISTER SEWALL HERE INTI'.HVIKMT WITH TIIK ItEI'HK MKNTAT1VK UV UNI Tf.n NTATKft, Will Occupy Nimnr Coltiisc I'or 'lime-Not Derided When Ho Will Vlexont UN Credential. Minister Sewnll and his wife aud (hoir little sou, who arrived ou tho Alameda', are at Snow cottno in tiie Hawaiian hotel grounds for the present and will remain tuoro for somo time. On sendiug in his card a representa tive of the Bulletin was pleasant ly received by Mrs. Sowall and conducted to tho room in which the new envoy of tho United States was lyiug on a lounge. Minister Sewall extended a very cordial greeting to the reporter, apologizing for his laziness by stating that he was Buffering from a lame toot and tuat lie bad been up nince 2 o'clock this morning. "Well, whiit cun I do for vou?" said tho Minister. "The peoplo hero are very anxious to learn wliat are tue presont prospects of annexation and anything at all concerning the probable' fate of thd Recipro city Treaty," answered tho scribe. "I thought that would bo the answer. In tho matter of anuexa tiou I can tell you nothing. My lips are sealed by tho office I hold. Of course, I B.aw President McKinley before I loft Washing ton but I am not at liberty to tell you what took pluco in the inter view. As regards the fate of tho treaty you know as much about it as I do, for my only information is derived from the newspapers." "Wutu BooraB to bo tuo fooling about nnnoxution in the United States now ?" was next asked. "The sentiment in favor of it seems to be on tho increase.. But let me ask you a few questions." Minister Sewall then inquired after a number of friends ho had made in Honolulu on provious visits, first aud foremost among them being Dr. McGrew. Whon the reporter noxt got a chanco ho inquired when the Minister would assume tho duties of bis position. "I am sure I don't know," was the reply, "but very shortly. Mr. Mills bus kindly consented to ar range tbe preliminary details with Minister Cooper and as soon aB tbey agree on a time I am ready. But you must see Layall, our bov." Here Mrs. Sewall called to a handsome curly-headed child about four years of age who was too busy exploring the delights of a Honolulu garden to stay iudoors more than a minute at a time. "One thing I want to tell you," resumed tho Ministor, "is that both my wife and myself are per fectly delighted to como down hero. Ever since my probablo appointment to this post was mentioned wo nave boen ovor whelmed with good wishes for my success, and sinco my appointment we have received bo ninny assur ances that it was generally desired by the people of Hawaii that we aro compelled to beliovo it. I did not know I bad bo many friends in Hawaii, aud I shall bo glad if you will extend to them through your papor tho heartfelt thanks, both of my wife nud my self, for tho vory cordial greetings we received on landing today and sinco. Wo both feel that wo are among friends and that our stay in Hawaii will, bo a delightful episode in our lives." With a cordial invitation from the Minister and his charming wifo to call again tho reporter withdrew. Minister Sewall is a native of Bath, Maine, where his father is at the head of one of tbe largest shipping firms in the world. He is quito a young man, prob ably botween 35 and 40. Mrs. Sowall is a nativo of San Francis co, (and is a typical California girl. She is a deoided brunotto aud tho vory pioture of health and J happiness. Sbo is bound to bo- como a great favorito in Honolu lu society. Previous to coming down to Hawaii Minister Sowall spent a few days with his wife's parents in San Francisco, which was tho reason, he said, the reporters did not find his whereabouts. jki:eci: iiumil,i viki. The rnnrn Ileal n Tnlklnu .ll.ilcli in Netllemenl. Premior Ralli aud bis colleagues are giving the press reasons for the faiiuro of Greeco in thowar with Turkey. Ralli enys if the fleet had bombarded Turkish ports, thero would have ensued a massacre of Christians all round. Skouloudis, Miuistor of Foreign Affuirs, Bays: "Groeco had no national grievance agdiust Turkey, and without any outside inter ference the Cretan affair should have been quietly settled by the two interested parties. But Europe i gavo the patriotic socie ties a chanco to agitato aud forced unprepared Greece iuto a disastrous war. The former Min istry weakly opposed tho courso, but had not the courage to rcpign. I expected tho result. Wo huvo been beaten by superior Turkish numbers and superior foreign strategy and must now mako tho best of it." L M. Tsamados, Minister War, "after noting the inferiority of Greeco in numbers and resources, says: "Greece canuot yield Tur key tho frontier strategic points demanded. Brigauds would uso them to ravage Thessaly, and new defenses cost much." The Ministor of Public Instruc tion, M. EutaxiaB, wiites: "Tho war has been one of tho cross against tho crescent, with Europo against Christ. The powors per mitted our troops to land to pro tect Christians in Crete, and then they blockaded .lyj. The vory day the Sultan's foreign policemen landed in Canea, Christian blood flowed. This country has receiv ed a ten years' setback. All the schools of Theasaly have been destroyed. We bavo been making groat progress in education. If the powors give Turkey ono foot of Greeco, enlightenment will bo so much retarded and tho Christians imperiled." Germany at first objected and afterward assented to a collective note of tho Powers to Turkey re garding a settlement between that country and Greczo. She had re gard to tho interests of Gorman bondholders, A dispatch from AtbenB says Great Britain has declared her in tention to abandon tho concert of the Powors if it is determined that tho occupation of Thessaly by Turkish troops shall be prolonged until Greece shall have paid the war indemnity demanded by Tur key. Signoro di Felice, tho Italian Socialist leader, rudely insulted Premier Ralli at AtbenB. Ho was hustled by tho polico on board an Italian ironclad, with a request that ho be not allowed again to set foot in Greeco. The Grand Vizier has advised the Sultan to hold out against the Powers and keep Thessaly. Ho said, "Your Majesty proved victor ious in Armenian and other mat ters when you firmly refused to bo dictated to by Europo. Thoreforo you should bo equally firm on this occasion. But if my viows aro not accepted I bog of you to accept my resignation." It now appoars that tho armis tice, under which peace negotia tions aro proceeding, was for thred days only, and nothing but the onorgy of' tho powors scoured an extension for a fortnight. It is bolieved that complications have arison owing to thoadvocaoy by Borne of tho powors, including Russia, of tho Turkish occupation of Thessaly until tho indemnity is paid and to England's firm re sistance to such a project. The Greek Government is preparing for a probable renewal of tho war. Torchon and Vnloncionnos lacos aro still in great demand. L. B. Kerr has a choice lot, which ho is soiling at lowest possiblo rates. NOT TO GOME TO HAWAII I. Ultlll COUNCIL TE4IIN t'tIK A.1I v EltlCAN I,HortKllS.

Fitzgerald o the Bureau of Labor Statistics sent in a long communication oxi tho Bubjoct in response to a re quest from tho council that he give bis ideas of tho labor situa tion in the islands. Tho reply -was a long resume of the report, that tho commissioner made on bis return from Hawaii. Delogato Furusoth of tho Coas4 Seamen's Union and others differ ed from the Commissioner in his estimate that thero was no slavery, practical or otherwise, in the isl ands. Thoy contended that tho evi dence of disinterested parties was that if tiio laboring classes thero; wero not practically in slavery they were very near it. Tho mattor was disposed of by instructing tho executive comrurfc teo to draw up a warning to American labor to refrain from going to tho islands for tho pres ent. The committeo was also in structed to gather certain informal tiou regarding the laws of the Ha waiian Government relating to tho enforcement of tbe contraot labor laws and report tho result of its investigations at tho noxt mooting of the council Friday evening. Delegate Scott wanted a reso lution adopted declaring that Mr. Fitzgerald'u report was the result of a political scherao looking to ward tho annexation of tho island but the matter was referred to.tba committee on resolutions for con sideration.
