intelligence that the Japanese
laborers who left one of the ada
cent plantations at the beginning
of the recent trouble did so with
the intention of taking up arms
against the Government. In
commenting upon the subject
the Harikari SAYS editorlally:
that as the country in no way be-
longed to the subjects OF the
Japanese Empire they showed a
decided inclination toward the
IOlo IN desiring to take partin the
fight. We can hardly credit the
story and are rather inclined to
the opinion that it savors OF an
American campaign document.
But assuming that there is at
least a semblanCe OF truth in the
statement, the Government has
stronger foe than it has yet had
to combat; stronger at least from
numerical point of view, and
different from the last in
the sense that the people are
more scattered and their NUM-
tions OF war as well as their
methods of warfare would be
different. This result aimed at
would not be the same because
it would probably be their inten-
ton to assume control OF the
territory in the name of their
Emperor. In such case the Gov
eminent would have among its
allies citizens of every other
nationality residing here. Every
one knows that two years ago
there was a great deal OF talk
about the intentions of Japan and
a great deal of speculation as to
the outcome of the trouble if the
Japanese flag should be hoisted
over the islands. Japan had nc
intention then of interfering in
the affairs Of Hawaii and proba.
bly, has less intention today. In
the first place the location is
against it, and outside OF the
laborers and a couple Of hundred
merchants Japan has no particu
lar interests here. To reaC
newspapers and to listen to the
utterances OF some people one
would suppose Hawaii to be
very rich golden nugget rather
, than a pear ripe for plucking'
D and that every government il
the universe was ready to la,
hands upon it. When Hawai-
loses its sovereignty it will b.
through treaty with the Gov
eminent which the people
r through their representatives
= NAV select. In the United State
q opinions are divided as to tn,
ACCESSIBILITY of the scheme; Eng

i at all because it recognize
