Mr.. Goo Kim, Chinese Com

investigation come TO the conclu-
sion that there is no truth in the
report, recently published in this
paper, TO the effect that there
exists in Honolulu a faction Of
Chinese conspirators against the
Manchu dynasty. His inquiries
have been among the best inform
ed If Chinese residents, none of
whom had ever beard of such a

as unfortunate that some Chinese
who left for home by a late
steamer should have been put
under suspicion OF going
upon a revolutionary errsnd.
