Trouble Feared From the Action

San Francisco, April 29.-The steamer
Doric, which arrived this morning, brings
Japan advices TO April Il. japanese news
papers are greatly excited over the action
Of the Dole government at Honolulu in re-
fusing to allow japanese emigrants to
land there. Upon the news being receiv-
ed in Japan, a cabinet consultation was
held, at which it was decided to send the
warship Naniwa and the corvette Heyie
to Honolulu. Government officials think
that President Dole's action will cause
trouble with Japan which may force the
United States to interfere.
Honolulu advices to April % state that
Admiral Beardslce, upon the arrival of the
L. lted States cruiser Philadelphia, had
long audience with President Dole. All
foreign ministers at Honolulu, except the
Japanese minister, have called upon Boards

The Spanish Official Dispatches to
Madrid Proven Untrue.

san Francisco. April 20. Reports in the
Hong Kong and Yokohama papers just re-
ceived from Manila are meager, but they
prove that the Spanish official dispatches
TO Madrid are untrue.
From the Manila correspondence up to
March l9, 10 appears that the Spanish
troops have been twice badly defeated by
the Insurgents in March. Col. Salcedo,
with 1000 men, started 60 attack San
nicolas, but his native guides proved trcach-
erous and led him into an insurgent
ambush His men were strung along in
marching order. and as the rebels numbered
s 900. the regulars had no show. They
were driven back in great confusion to
AlInansa, with heavy loss.
The Spanish troops Were also badly
beaten in an attack on the rebels near the
River Seapote. The rebels had few fire
arms. but they made such daring charges
with bolas, or bowie knives, which they
use in cutting sugar cane, that the troops
broke in confusion.
