NEWS FROM HAWAII.
No Answer from Japan-A Japanese Upris-
ing MOOted-The Chinese Registry Case.

NO Answ Ter from Japan-A Japanese UpriS-
ing MOOted-The Chinese Registry Case.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 27.-The
steamer MaripOsa arrived yesterday
morning from Sydney via Honolulu.
with the following Hawaiian advices:
The Hawaiian government has not
yet received an answer from Japan re-
garding the offer to refer the immi-
grafton trouble to arbitration. There
Is no change in the situation here.
The Hawaiian Star. commenting
upon the admission of Japanese that
in case of trouble all the Japanese in
Honolulu were to meet at a rendez-
vous, says:
If we look up the Japanese corre-
spondence and the articles in the jap
anese press, there are found frequent
illusions to an uprising in the
islands. 1t is one of the ex-
cuses for the presence of the
Naniwa in our waters. Should such a
rising take place it would be very easy
for the Japanese government to repu-
date it if unsuccessful, and it would be
very easy to reap advantages were it
successful. This idea of a probable
rising is ever present in the Japanese
mind in the empire, and there is good
reason to believe that it is present
among Japanese minds here.
The China's registry case waa
finally submitted to Judge Perry for
decision on August 10, and an early de-
cision is confidently expected. AS the
matter will probably be appealed to
the supreme court. which will be in
session for a month. it is predicted that
the question of the big steamers
registry will be settled before she
reaches here again in October.
The principal point upon which the
Hawaiian government relies is the
question of MacFarlane's citizenship,
he having been born on the island of
British parents.
