The Japanese consul general demanded to

ter Hatch politely declined TO recog-
nixe the authenticity Of .
reported newspaper interview, and
stated that he did not believe that Min
lister Thurstcn had made the assertion

TO have intimated. however, that his gov
eminent did desire to see European labor
ers substituted for the large numbers Of
japanese and Chinese laborers who are
fiocking in the islands. He also declared
that there was no desire 10 annoy Japa-
nese laborers now in Hawaii, and that
their rights would be fully protected.
The Hawaiian government is said to be
much worried also over the large number
of needy Americans who are hocking to
HonoIuluin search of remunerative en-
ployment, which is not TO be had, and
who threaten to become public charge.
Over 200 of this class are reported 10 have
arrived during one week.
By Hawaiian exchanges it Is learned
that during a recent trip of the steamship
Nanshan. conveying eco japanese from
their native country to Honolulu, the
crew mutinied. and for eight days the YES
sci was worked by the officers only. A
quartermaster started the row. He was
not steering properly, and Capt. King
called his attention to the bad service.
The man ordered the commander away
from the wheel. Capt. King vas thunder
struck at the audacity of the petty officer,
and reprimanded him sharply. At this
the quartermaster struck Capt. King. The
seuffie forward soon attracted the atten-
ton OF all on board, and there was wild
rush in that direction. Several Off
GERS turned their attention to the
900 passengers, doing all possible to
prevent panic. The crew. to
man, came to the aid of the ouartermas-
ter Two or three had hatcheis for arms,
others had knives. and the remainder bars
and clubs. Capt. King and the Britishers,
who came TO his aid, recognized that the
odds were too great to think of entering
into a combat. No effort was made to en-
force discipline. The crew mixed In with
the passengers. The immigrants were in
sympathy with the mutinous body, and
the leaders among the travellers threatened
to take up the quarrel of the crew and
stood ready ut all times 10 help the sailors.
Upon the vessels arrival at Honolulu the
mutineers were arrested.
