Government to Enforce What
They Deem their Rights-Ha-
waiians Are Making Much
Over the Arrival of the Phila-
delphia at honolulu Japanese
Representatives in Washington
BeLtJle the War talk at home.
San Francisco, April 29.-According
to advlces by steamer this morning
The Japanese government is aroused
over the refusal of the Hawaiian gov
ernment TO permit ShinshOu Marou i'm
migrants TO land there, and has ordered
warships To Honolulu TO enforce what
the japanese immigrants consider their
rights. The foreign Office instructed
HIOgo kencho at Kobe on the 9th inst,
to stop departure OF immigrants for the
islands at once.
Grave complications have arisen ac-
cording to Japanese official newspapers
over the action of the United States
government in sending the Philadel-
phia to Honolulu. Japanese official
organs claim the cruiser has been sent
as a menace to the japanese govern
ment, and is significant in that it fore
tells annexation Of the islands TO the
United States.
Japanese official newspapers are full
of war talk The ChoWc states that a
telegram had been received by the Jap
anese authorities to the effect that
England has sent an intimation to the
United States government that she OBJ
jeCts 10 the intended annexation by the
latter of the Hawaiian republic.
The Sekka No Nifos says that series
of telegraphic communications are at
present passing between the United
States legation at Toxic and the United
States government, and is of the Opin-
ion that they relate TO the refusal of the
Hawaiian government to permit Jap
anese emigrants to land.
San Francisco. April 29-The steam
er Doric, which called at Honolulu
April s, brings advices that Hawaiians
are making much over the presence
of the Philadelphia. The advices say
that it is certain Admiral Beardslee has
not come TO Honolulu clothed with eX-
ecutive power TO execute special mis-
sion for his government Had he come
TO annex the islands or to Te-seat the
eX-Queen on her throne he certainly
would not hoist the deck awnings, set
the painters to painting the ship and
with the officers accept hospitality
from friends ashore. 1t is believed that
the admiral is awaiting fresh orders by
the next steamer from San Francisco
before proceeding on his mission.
Hawaiians believe the President is
about 10 appoint a minister who Will
come 20 Honolulu and cOnsummate an
nexation. 1t is generally believed the
cruiser Philadelphia was sent at the
request OF Acting Minister Mills TO pro-
tect United States citizens and property
in case of trouble with the japanese
government over the refusal OF Presl-
dent Dole to permit japanese lmml-
grants to land here.
Col Z. S. Spalding, cable promoter,
has returned from Washington. His
cable agreement with that government
eypires on May u. He will make an
effort to have the option extended, but
If is understood that President Dole and
his cabinet are opposed to granting an
exclusive franchise.
washington. April 29.-The officials
Of the japanese legation in this city
expressed themselves in positive terms
as having no fear Of internal compli-
cations between Japan and Hawaii or
the United Safes growing out Of the
differences between the first two coun-
tries on the immigration question.
Thev beljttle the possibility OF war
over complications that may arise and
attribute such talk to the lingo news
naners which are disposed, they say,
to make great ado over matters thaC
readily can be adjusted by diplomacy
and concerning which there is no war
rant for the prediction that trouble IS
likely to follow.
