DUBOIS AGAINST ANNEXATION.

from the Islands.

Honolulu. Nov. 20, via San Francis
co, Nov. "a. 1897. -Advices received TO-
day from Japan state that no progress
has been made in the negotiations
about the emigrant affair owing to the
foot that Hawaii sticks invariably to
the policy of procrustination. In the
hope, 1t IL claimed, of transferring the
responsibility of paying the compensa-
tlon to the United States by effecting
the proposed annexation. At this
juncture another difficulty has sprung
up. a certain emigration company in
Honolulu has unlawfully appropriated
the deposit money Of the emlErants
and Minister Skimamura attempted to
bring the matter before n tribunal.
The company greatly astonished at the
attitude OF the minister. threatened to
disclose all the weak points of Japan
In the negotiations at issue should the
minister insist In carrying GU. his plan
to the bitter end.
Under these circumstances the new
trouble Is Mt present In state OF sus-
pense. While matters stand In this
way In Hawaii the relations Of Japan
with the United States have become
more friendly and the latter Is in
ciined to advise the Hawaiian govern
ment to pay the indemnity at once to
