Readers of the BULLETIN will re.
member that Japanese prisoner
named Imada Yasaka escaped from
the prison gang employed on the
quarantine wharf on Wednesday,
March 10, and swan over to the
Japanese cruiser Naniva, anchored in
the naval row. The man was convict
ed of murder in the sccond degree at
the December term of the Second

Yasaka had killed a icllow.country-
man at Waihec, Maui. Under his
sentence he was consigned to the
Oahu Prison To- serve his long term.
After his escape on board the Naniva
the Provisional Government sent II
request to Captain Toga to de-
liver up the prisoner, but all the salts
faction obtained in response was that
the matter would be referred to the
Japanese Government.
Yesterday evening rumors came TO
the ears of the police authorities that
Yasnka was to be turned loose on Ha-
waiian soil some time to-day, but ex-
actly where he would land they were
not informed. Consequently early
this morning Captains Schlemmer
and Juen OF the force were on the
lookout along the city front to be
ready for action if the rumor proved
true. The officers, who were dressed
in civilians clothes, had an mixing
that the man would land at the EVA
end of the harbor, near the O. r. q
L. Co.'s wharf, as that was the likeli-
est place for him to be put ashore
At 10 o'clock the officers noticed a
boat painted black, with Il passenger
sitting in the stern, pulling toward
the railway wharf. They went round
and "a they approached the end Of
the wharf from the Eva side they saw
Japanese walking toward them
When the officers came near they
grabbed the Japanese, their plain
clothes putting him off his guard
Not knowing who they were the Jal
asked his captors what they wanted
The disguised officers told him tina
they would tell him by and by, ant
advised him to go along peaceably.
The Jap was marched along be
tween the officers for some DISTANCE
when he suspected that he was agair
prisoner, and made several break
to get away. At the station the JaI
was identified as Imadl Yasasa, liz
escaped prisoner, and was safely de
posted behind the bars.
Yaaaka has been at liberty, enjoy
ing the hospitality Of Japanese terri
tory on the cruiser, thlrty-six days
He was captured at 1920 o'clock
The boat in WHICH he was landed di
not belong to the japanese cruiser.
