The following special Honolulu
correspondence OF the San Francisco
Chronicle will be interesting in view
OF recent events:
Honolulu, November lO.-Several
Cabinet meetings have been held
lately to consider the Royalist scares.
A member OF the Cabinet said this
morning:
1.-The Government has fully in
vestigated the alleged uprising of
Royalists against the Republic, aud
has found the whole matter to have
been worked up by a newspaper
correspondent who has failed to sue
coed here and proposes to have
something to sell to his paper when
he reaches San Francisco. He goes

conference in Royalist ranks, aud
stories OF arms to arrive aud q revo.

some changes in the Police Depart
ment soon, but this will be merely
the removal Of certain men who have
attempted to make use of their po-
litical position for private ends"
In au interview this morning with
Marshal Hitchcock, it was learned
that the Marshal considers the stu.

cautions. He said he considered
that the Government could success

made on the Government. He Is

President Dole is still in Hawaii,
but will probably return next week.
BY letter he has announced that the
new Legislature will be convened
Immediately after the Christmas
holidays.
The attitude OF the Hawaiian Min
lister (Thurston) on Asiatic labor, as
reported in press dispatches from
Washington, has reused the ire OF
Mr.. Full, the Japanese represent
alive here. Mr.. Full addressed q
note to Minister Hatch, in which he
took exceptions, in tho name Of the
Japanese Government, to the report

Minister Thurst"n had declared to
u reporter that the republic OF Ha-
waii had decided To root out" Asia

Japanese made demand ON the
Republic To grant Japan the "most
favored nation" rights.
When asked about the matter
Minister Hatch at first declined to
talk, hut when he was assured that
Mr.. Fujii had already divulged the
substance Of the correspondence to
several Rnyalists he spoke in sub

views with Minister ThuTston or any
other official representing Hawai-
abroad. Mr.. Full should have ap-
precia,ed this fact before he made
the matter the subject Of official
correspondence. Besides this, Mr..
Fujii has been recalled by his own
Government. Had Mr.. Fujii been
he responsible representative OF
Jspan's diplomatic relations with
this country, the answer Of this
Government would have been much
more curt and emphatic. The Re-
public anticipates that Mr.. Fujii's
successor will either DO more tenn
perate in his demands or that he
will more closely follow the usual
forms Of International diplomacy"
The Labor Commission OF Hawaii
has held sevesal meetings and ha.
outlined its policy. 1t is thought
that Mr., Fujii's attitude on the
labor question has been shaped, ia
some degree, by the known inten,
lions OF the Labor Commission. The
report OF the Labor Commission viii
bear upon the point that 80 percen,
OF the Japanese imported into Ha
waii for plantation service, have lef,
