MORE TROUBLE FOR SPAIN.
Probability Of Japan Attempting to Colo
niGe south Sea Islands.

niGe south sea Islands.
San Francisco. CAL. March 6.-The
long overdue schooner Vine, which
left this city on trading trip to tine
South Sea Islands last, June, has
arrived with important news from the
South Seas regarding u possible war
between japan and Spain. Capt.
Luttrel brought advices from the Caro-.
line Islands of happenings which may
involve Spain in another war. this time
with the ambitious Japanese.
The natives on the Buk Islands, a
part of the Caroline group. which be-
longs TO Spain, are very ferocious when
foreigners attempt to land, and all
trading with the Islanders must be
done by other natives. The islanders
are almost all caunibals. They refuse
10 become civilized and rear no cloth.
ing. just before the Vine left the
Carolines dozen or more Japanese
traders were massacred by the islanders
without proyocation. The remaining
traders ssnt the news to the Japanese
government, and have asked for war
vessel to subjugate the inhabitants of
the Spanish Islands.
The general belief at Kasai when the
Vine left was that war would follow,
as the Japanese covet the islands and
are generally understood to be desirous
of havirg colonies throughout the
South Seas 1t was surmised that
Japan would attempt to subjugate the
islands and colonize them irrespective
of Spain,
