SWAN TO FREEDOM.
A Japanese Murderer Finds Shell
ter on a Warship.

The third escape from Jail within
a short period of time was made
Thursday, when a Japanese muir
derer took to the water and after a
good swim reached and boarded
the Japanese CRUISER Naniwa, in the
harbor, and there he now remains,
secure from molestation as far as
this Government is concerned. The
prisoners name is Imada Yukusa-
chi. He was found guilty of muir
der in the second degree, for killing
a countryman with a Ratchet. The
killing was done on Maui. He was
given twenty-one years for his
crime and was committed to the
reef about the middle of last De-
cember.
The japanese was among a num-
Der of prisoners yesterday who were
employed about the Quarantine
Station. They were under guard,
but the prisoner did not seem to
have much trouble in escaping.
He took a good start, and after run
ming the length of the narrow
bridge connecting with the Quaran-
tine Station, he jumped overheard,
swan to the Naniwa and was taken
on board. Shortly after, the prison
overseer came alongside, but he
was not allowed on board. When
the matter was brought to the at
tention of the police authorities a
request was made to the Japanese
Consul to surrender the man, but
that official destined to do go.
It is understood that his reason
for refusing the request of the Gov
eminent is that there is no extra
dition treaty existing between Jap
an and this country, and as a war
vessel is considered territory of
the country which it represents it
looks as though the murderer will
escape serving the remainder Of
his sentence unless the Consul
should change his mind and sur
render him to the authorities.
The other Japanese prisoners on
the reef will be kept locked up
hereafter to prevent them from en-
ioying hospitality on board of the
Naniva. There is something radi-
sally wrong in the system of guard
.Dg prisoners, as this escape is the
bird one during the past six
The other two who took
French leave were white men under
sentence for granddaughter. They
escaped On some outgoing vessel
md nothing has been heard from
hem.

"P4TRICKS DAY"

On the eighth day Of March it was
some people say,
That 3. Patrick 81 midnight he first
saw the day.
While others sfhrm il was the ninth
he was born,
II WIS Sll mistake between mid
night and morn,
For mistakes may occur in their
hurry Snd shock,
And some blamed the baby
And some blamed the clock,
I'LL with their crOSs questions sure no
one could know
Whether the child waS 700 taSt or the
clock wSS TOO slow.
For the eighth some would live and
for the ninth some would die,
And who wouldn't say right sure
they'd blacken his eye.
Al last both the factions 80 positive
grew
That each kept : birthday, 80 Pat
then had TWO,
Till FSther MulCahy who showed
them their sins
Said nobody could haye TWO birth
days but twins
Says he, boys don't be fighting for
eight or for nine.
Don't always Be dividing but some
times combine,
Combine eight with nine seventeen Is
the marx,
Let that De his birthday, amen, says
the clerk
They all got blind drunk which COM
pleted their bliss,
And they kept up the practice from

Raising the Flag.

Minister Stevens has shown him
self TO be the right man in the right
place. He has not waited for in
structions from Washington, but
has with his own hands hoisted the
American flag on shore and pro-
claimed protectorate, says the Los
Angeles Express.
The course of Minister Stevens
Is in harmony with the dispatch
sent by Secretary Blaine to Minis
ter Comfy, at Honolulu, q dozen
years ago That document was in
the nature OF notice to all foreign
governments 10 keep hands off Ha-
wall The following extracts from
the able paper indicate the position
then taken by the government of
this country towards the island
kingdom
In thirty years the United States
has acquired a legitimately dominant
influence in the North Pacific, which
it can never consent to see decreased
by the intrusion therein OF any ele-
ment of influence hostile to its own.
The situation of the Hawaiian Islands,
giving them the control Of the North
Pacific, brings their possession within
the range Of questions of purely Amer
lean policy, as much so as that of the
Isthmus itself.
The interests of Hawaii must inevi-
tally turn toward the United States
in the future, as in the present, as its
natural and sole ally in conserving the
dominion Of both in the Pacific trade.
Your own observation during your
residence at Honolulu has shown you
the vitality Of the American sentiment
which this state of things has irresist-
IDLY developed in the Islands.
The Hawaiian Islands cannot be
Joined to the Asiatic system. If they
drift from their independent station it
must be toward assimilation and
with the American sys-
TEN, 70 which they belong by the
operation OF natural laws, and must
belong by the operation Of political
necessity.
If through any cause the mainten-
ance Of such position of neutrality
should be found by Hawaii to be i'm
practicable, this government would
then unhesitatingly meet the altered
situation by seeking an avoWedly
solution for the grave issues
presented.
Secretary Blaine seems to have
anticipated the present crisis. He
was right in 1881, and Minister
Stevens Is right now.

Neumanu's Mission.

Annexation will be neither help
ed nor hindered by the Neumann
mission to Washington. The only
showing that can be made by the
Queens ENJOYS is that she has
been deposed, and that, not by
Americans but by the people Of
Hawaii, which absolves the United
States from all responsibility for
the affair. The landing of the
marines from the Boston occurred
after the coup d'etat and was in
response to demand from those
actually in possession of the Gov
eminent and exercising its func-
tons, and even then the landing
was made only in the interests Of
peace and good order.
Queen Liliuekalani cannot have
sent an embassy to Washington
with crasV for sale, for she has
none to Offer, and it is more than
likely that all she expects is to
save something from the wreck in
the way Of a pension or annuity

Boss of the Roads.

For some time Road Super
visor Cummings has been in bad
odor with a large number Of
Portuguese residents, because, as
claimed by them, he would not
hire any laborer who was in SYM
pathy with the Provisional Govern
ment.
On last Monday morning the
following item appeared in the
ADVERTISER:
ut is commonly reported that
Road Supervisor Cummings, of the
no-haole-need-apply Road Board,
viii not have Portuguese laborers
who are friends of the Provisional
Government
Mr.. Cummings said that the
foregoing did him an injustice, and
he produced his pay roll to prove
that he had a number of Portu-
guese at work on the roads.
That fact has not lessened the
howl against him, as it is claimed
that he was forced to employ the
men by order of the Minister of the
Interior, who the Portuguese saw.
gave orders that the Portuguese
were to have an equal change with
other nationalities, but they saw
their countrymen have but one
chance in six, as the employees of
the Road Board now stand. Il
The appended affidavits were
voluntarily sworn to by two Portu-
guese residents. The names of the
deponents are withheld to prevent
any boycott on their future chances
for obtaining work. The originals
are at this Office, and any disinter-
ested third party may see them at
