dispatch from Shanghai says: The fol-
lowing is a translation of an imperial
rescript published in Il special issue of
the Japanese Official Gazette, in connec-
tion with the attempt npon the life of
Lii Hung Chang:
"Chiha is now in state of war with
our country, but she has, with due OBJ
servance of the forms of international
etiquette sent an ambassador for the con-
clusion of peace. We, on our part,
named our plenipotentiaries who were
instructed to meet him and negotiate at
ShimoneskL
"Thus it was incumbent upon as, in
pursuance with international usage to
afford the ambassador treatment con-
sistent with the national honor and to ac-
cord him a suitable escort for his pro-
lection We consequently gave orders
to all functionaries to use the utmost
diligence and it is therefore with pro-
found grief that we now have to express
our regret that a ruffian Should have
dared to inf1ict personal injury upon the
Chinese ambassador.
1.-The culprit must receive the severest
punishment provided by law. Our Off
cial subject must respect our wishes to
preserve the glory of our country un-
tarnished ard must provide against the
recurrence of such violence"
The rescript is signed by the emperor
and countersigned by his ministers.

NOT KNOWN IN HAWAII.

The Island Governments Uninformed Re-
gardtng Affairs in Washington.
SAN Francisco, March 27,-The steam
ship Australia arrived today from Homo
lulu. The latest Hawaiian advices con-
tain no reference to the demand made by
Secretary Gresham for the recall of
Minister Thurston, and it is evident that
no knowledge of this latest diplomatic
incident has reached the Hawaiian peo-
pie. Whether the Hawaiian government
has any knowledge of the state of affairs
at Washington is simply a matter of con-
lecture.
The following is from the special cor
respondent of the Associated Press at
Honolulu:
Martial law was declared off March
18. The military commission has been
adjourned and the larger part of the 100
prisoners brought bsfore this body are
now working out their sentences in quar-
ries or on the roads.
Interest in the past few days has CEN
tered principally in the sessions of the
advisory council which has been pass
ing laws bearing directly upon the re-
cent rebellion. A law of no little inter-
est to the deported contingent makes it
unlawful for any person to land in the
Hawaiian Island from any vessel from
any foreign port, who is criminal or a
refugee from justice. or who has been
convicted OF crime, or been under arrest
for criminal offense, and has departed
or escaped from the Hawaiian islands III
order to avoid trial, or who has been de-
ported from the Hawaiian islands by
order of the president or marshal, in time
of martial law, or who has been banished
by sentence of any court, unless such
person shall have received permission
from the minister of foreign affairs so
TO land.
Violation of this law by an attempt to
land on the islands is punishable by a
term of imprisonment at hard labor not
exceeding two years and a fine of, not
exceeding $4,000.
The question of the disposition of
Liliuokalani is causing rumors, but the
government officials state nothing has
been done or suggested other
| than is already in force. Attorney
General Smith on being asked what dis
position was to be made of the ex-queeu,
said: ''She is already disposed Of No
advances have been made to the govern
ment on her part She will be kept
where she is"
The appropriation to cover the ex-
penses of the rebellion have been raised,
$4,000, and will undoubtedly reach
! 100000 before all bills are paid.
