minister BUCK COMING
U. S. MINISTER TO JAPAN WILL
VISIT HONOLULU.
-cKinley Wishes for Information
Relative to the Japanese Complica-
tion-Sewall Favors Annexation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 13.-The
Star, an annexation paper, says: That
the Administration is keeping
watchful eye on the situation in Ha-
waii was ascertained beyond doubt
in the information received by Star
reporter today that Col. +. A. Buck,
the new Minister to Japan, will stop
at Honolulu on the way to his post.
Minister Bucks intentions have
been to leave San Francisco on June
5. He has now decided to leave San
Francisco on the Goth of this month.
He will spend a week at Honolulu and
will take the next passenger steamer
for Japan. He will probably leave
San Francisco with Harold Sewall,
be together week in Honolulu, and
in that time will be able to jointly ac
quire a great deal of valuable infor
nation as to the exact situation of the
influx of Japanese into the islands.
OF course it is impossible to learn
form Col. Buck or Mr.. Sewall the ma
ture of their instructions. 1t is
known, however, that the Administra
-tion has been deluged with stories of
the alleged attempts of the Japanese
to colonize the islands. and. in time,
start revolution to secure possession
Of them. The dispatch of the warship
Philadelphia to Honolulu and recent
developments in other ways have been
sufficient to keep all eyes open.
The Japanese Legation here has
persistently denied that Japan has any
designs on the islands. The reports,
however, have evidently become so
conflicting to President Mckinley that
he has decided to ascertain for him
self just what is going on. He has
given the instructions under which
Minister Buck will act. The knowl-
edge which Minister Buck will get in
Honolulu will be of benefit to him
when he reaches Japan. He will be
in position to more readily under
stand the future movements of the
japanese.
Another matter is that of annexa-
ton. Minister Sewall is supposed to
favor annexation, and many people
believe the plans of the Administration
tend to ultimate annexation. If this
is the case, and Japan being interest
more than any other country, it is a
diplomatic movement to have Minister
Buck post himself as much as possible
on the situation in Hawaii and Japan
