The Japanese.
Touching the Japanese. the admiral
says they number more than 200 on The
ISLANDS and are inclined to be turbu-
lent They stand together as a solid
b,odyi their leaders have political nmhl-
t'on and propose TO claim the right
10 vote. Many persons think them q
possible source Of future danger. They
are brave with military instincts and
Would light u aroused or excited 20 vio-
lence. The Portuguese also have politl-
cal aspirations but they are iaw-ahtd-
ing and desirable class OF inani trauts.
The Gulnese do not enter into p,litics
70 any extent; as rule the Eng N are
Royaiists. but favor the provisional
government and annexation. The ad-
lnlral complains OF our lack Of naval
strength and the taking away OF the
ADAMS, leaving the flagship unsupported.
He says ne would have a force equal to
any two OF the foreign forces COM
bineda while we are equalled by the
English and exoelled by the japanese.
Pending the arrival OF the Charleston,
he recommends tile sending or the
Monterey to Honolulu, and closos-by
saying that II the Marion touches there
on her way to San Francisco, he shall
detain her until after the elections and
longer II deemed necessary.
In his next letter Of date OF April &c,
the admiral tells of the notice served
by the British minister, Wodehousc,
upon President Dole. Of the intention
OF his government TO use Ncckers Is
land as station. and his request
that nothing he said about Il to the
French or to any one. The president
replied that he felt bound to inform
the United States in view OF the close
relations with that government There
lie little of Interest In the next three
letters beyond one statement that the
hopes of the Royalists appear TO be
diminishing, but on May 80 the ad-
mlral tells of the celebrated race for
the possession OF Ncckers Island be-
tween the British warship Champion
and the small steamer chartered by the
Hawaiian government,
Pearl Harbor.
on June 81 the admiral sends a pre-
limlnary report upon Pearl HarbOr.
which has already been published in
substance, which he says he has caused
to be surveyed because of the interest
he has l0ng held In the subject and In
view OF Its value TO the United States.
On June 20 the admiral notes the re-
ceipt of the formal announcement OF
the action Of our senate towards Ha-
wall. He says this definite announce
ment OF policy expressed In terms so
clear and unmistakable has strength
ened the hands OF the existing govern
ment and win undoubtedly assist IN the
solution of certain difficult questions
which attend the adoption OF constl-
tuition and the establishment OF a
permanent form OF government The
Royalists are correspondlngly depress-
ed and discouraged.
In my opinion the peace Is not IN
danger Of being disturbed at present.
Many letters tell Of the various for
malities attending the organization Of
the republic of Hawaii in great de-
tail, and one OF these dated July ~,
telling OF the proclamation Of the re-
public. Is, It Is said, 81 hear Of no
objection being made to these pro-
visions relatlye TO the right OF suf-
frage) by foreign representatives, and
all apprehension OF trouble with the
japanese has subsidized"
Further the admiral says that the re-
public has been firmly established;
that there is no probability whatever Of
counter revolutions; II Lilioukalanl
surrenders her claim for pension.

necessity for the presence Of a flag
officer in Hawaii but that n ship
should be kept there and that Hawaii
may be regarded as having reverted
to its former status, part OF this
status especially important because Of
American interests and affiliations.
