WASHINGTON. Sept. 2e.-some Of the State
Department officials are exceedingly anxious
to have It appear that the information pub
lished in THE SUN this morning about the
proposition for the settlement Of the differences
between Japan and Hawaii by tho payment of
800 900 in gold to Japan did not emanste
from tho department The argument they ad-
vanced as o defence for endeavoring 10 secure
the publication Of a statement that no news
to that effect had como 10 the department in
an official report from Minister Sewall was
that trouble of some sort might be caused with
Japan II THE SUNS story were allowed to stand
uncontradicted. Assistant Secretary William
R Day, the active head of the diplomatic Office,
made an explicit denial OF that part Of THE
Sun story which said that the department had
been informed that the Japanese hawaiian
difficulties could be settled by the payment Of
tho amount named. The other
published in THE Sun about the condition Of
affairs in the islands, as told In Minister Sew
al's report, was not contradicted. The infor-
nation M, e,naa about boz rt the son SoHte enne- 1s the fr,r report 2 son wes
thoroughly trustworthy, whose knowledge Of
what Mr.. Sewan had sent is shown by the I'M
denied portions Of his despatch concerning the
peaceable disposition Of the Japanese inhabi-
tants OF Hawaii.
The effort to make it appear that the State
Department knows nothing about the PROPOSE
ton for the payment OF a specific money in:
denmity probably is based on the lnsistence OF
this Government that II has no concern in, the
negotiations between the Toxic and Honolulu
authorities for a settlement Of the immigra:
ton and other questions. Why this attitude of
Indifference should be exploited cannot be as
certained. The treaty for the annexation OF the
islands has been ratified by the Hawaiian SEN
ate, and is pending in the United States Senate,
and the representatives OF this Government in
Hawaii have instructions that will allow them
10 proclaim o virtual protectorate over the Pa
cifc republic II serious troubles should occur.
It Is said that the United States are keeping out
Of the muddls with Japan to give the local Gov
eminent no warrant for a claim. but this coun-
try has made itself responsible for the payment
Of any indemnity demanded of Hawaii.
Nothing has been received at the Japanese
legation about the proposition for the payment
Of the 500, 600, but the hope wac expressed
there that it would prove true and thus afford .
satisfactory disposition Of the Japanese Ha-
waiian differences.
Extracts from the report Of Rear Admiral
Miller. q synopsis of which was given in THE
SUN this morning, were made public by the
Navy Department to-day. A paragraph from
tho report follows:
THE survey OF Pearl Harbor is progressing
satisfactorily. l propose to have target prac-
tice held at once by the PHILADELPHIA and the
