Getting Ready for War.

Ths report that Spin has signed con
tracts for the purchase of several nearly
completed cruisers in English shipyards
has led to the impression that war with
our Government is seriously contemplated
We cannot believe that there is any imme.
diate danger Of war, but at the same time
1t is wise to prepare to act on the defensive
Spain's naval vessels might possibly do
some injury unless preparations be speedily
mado to prevent their attacks. We should
not like to see our ships captured or any
of our cities laid under contribution for the
benefit of Spain or any other nation, We
should not DO too positive of tho weakness
of our enemy or we might be found in tho
condition of the Chinese or Greek forces
and learn when too late that VIC had OVER
rated our own prowess. We desire peace,
but we should prepare to pay millions for
defense rather than one cent for tribute,
and this Spain should be made to fully
understand before going too far with her
threats

The labor side of the japanese ques-
ton ought not to trouble the planters.
japanese immigration has been
stopped for time, out it by no means
is certain that laborers, after negotia-
ton, may not still be obtained from
there if necessary. But we have other
fields of labor. The plan on which we
obtain Chinese laborers works salts
factorily, and having performed their
task they leave the country. Then we
have possibilities from Germany and
from California. Besides lnis there are
a number of unemployed Asiatics here
to whom the vagrant law should be
strictly applied and they should be
made to go to work or leave the coun-
try. In a short time it will be pos
sible to make fair estimate of how
many of these loafers there really are

THE SITUATION.

The news from japan was decidedly
interesting and has torn aside the we'll
which has been so zealousely kept over
japanese aspirations. This journal has
always maintained that the eyes of
Japan were fixed upon these islands
and that it was the hope of the Jap
anese people to acquire them some
day. 1t was not the policy of the
Japanese Government to show their
hand. But there was no objection to
allowing any quantity of japanese to
come in to the islands, and if these in
time began to agitate about their
rights, the Japanese Government
would be quite willing and ready to
support them, and the intention was
to pluck the fruit when it was fully
ripe. The last thing that Japan de-
sired, and desires now was and is the
annexation of the Hawaiian islands to
the United States. The best form of
Government for these islands, from the
Japanese standpoint, was a weak Mon
archy, which could have been gobbled
at any time. The establishment of a
compact and strong little Republic has
been anything but satisfactory to our
Asiatic neighbor.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-04-23

The news that the Hawaiian Govern
ment had dared to assert its rights
under the law and had returned to
Japan certain immigrants who had
not complied with the provisions of
the law or who We're patiently encour
aged by the immigration companies to
fraudulently evade it, caused the ver-
nacular Puss of Japan to figuratively
foam at the mouth. From the 5th of
April to the 18th, there was perfect
stream of invective. The Government
was called upon to send back the
Shinshiu Maru under escort OF men
of-war. The japanese treaty had been
trampled under foot, the national
honor had been insulted, a demand for
landing the students" was to be made
at the lannon's mouth, and if the Ha-
waiian Government refused satisfac-
ton the 'firmest negotiations" must
be opened. What that might mean is
not clear. The lannon's mouth bust
ness seemed as firm as was needed.
Perhaps the latter referred to some
thing unpleasant with boiling oil
And the japanese Government gave
orders for preparing squadron for
h0A
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-04-23

The oil trust must look to its
laurels. Peru is coming forward as a
large oil producing country. The area
of the Peruvian oil region is estimated
at 1900 square miles, while that of the
Pennsylvania oil region is about $50
square miles. From the latter &c.,
100000 of gallons have already been
taken. The possibilities of PERUVIAN
oil seem thus to be almost limitless.
Peru with gold fields, and an oil re-
gion, bids fair to be the wealthiest
country in South America. All it wants
is good government and steady pop
ulation. An Anglo Saxon civilization
would have made Peru one of the fore
most states of this hemisphere.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-04-23

AS said yesterday in these columns
the charges about the quarantine at
Waikiki may or may not be true, but
it is the manifest duty of the Board
of Health, since they were brought by
one of it's members, to hold public
investigation, not a star chamberef,
fair, and properly exonerate the Off
Gals at Waikiki or uphold Mr.. Brown.
The reasons for either action should
be public property. t
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-04-23

What gave, however the greatest
umbrage to the japanese was, that
upon the announcement that there
might be complications between Japan
and Hawaii, the United States immed-
lately sent the Philadelphia under Adj
miral Beardslee to look after American
interests in Hawaiian waters and had
further given him extraordinary pow
ers to act under certain circumstances.
This was counter to the japanese
plans. For the japanese do not want
to see annexation. One of the princi-
pal papers urged that the United
States Government should be notified
and made to withdraw its ships from
Hawaii. 1t goes on to say that if the
new President of the United States is
DESTROYS of anneXing the islands and
is making preparations to that end the
case would prove 'far more grave and
important than the present ISSUE"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-04-23

Now, though the action of our
authorities here has caused a consid-
cradle storm to arise, it is very much
better to have had it out at once than
to have dallied over the matter. as
some were anxious to do. Had we DIAL
lied we should have put ourselves in
condoning an offence against our i'm
migration law. Had we condoned the
offence we should never have been able
to assert ourselves. We now know
what is the feeling in Japan with re-
gard TO the, islands. We, can now, see
plainly that the warnings SO often

At the very last moment the Japan
csc Government rescinded the order
for sending war ships to Hawaii, stat
ing that it would wait for the full dis
this return to calmness they had APP
parently been considerably influenced
by the evidence of DIR. Eldridge, who
is a physician appointed by the Ha
waiian Government to superintend
quarantine arrangements and who
understands the immigration laws. As
the situation stands at present all is

Lastly, the American Government
has now realized the Importance of
this outpost of the Great Republic
and is not likely to leave it to be
quietly Asiaticized, its American Gus
toms and religion to be swept away,
its Anglo Saxon laws to be overturned
and its trade to GO into the hands of
aliens instead of those of United
Sthtes citizens and their descendants.
The American missionary, the Ameri-
can trader, the American professional
man and statesman have not worked
in vain. They have raised the Hawaii
an islands to the position of civil
lied and enlightened state. Associat-
ed with him have been Britons and
Germans. Their united efforts have
made us what we are, but We ale
weak, our numbers are small, and Tie
United States are not going to leave
us unprotected in our weakness. They
will throw their powerful aegis
around us, and boldly say to the world.
