The Japanese government has de-
manded the sun of 5000, 900 in gold
from Hawaii by way of indemnity in
connection with the emigration affair.
This sun includes losses suffered by the
immigrants to whom admission was de-
MED, as well as by the companies who
sent them and the expense OF sending
a warship to Honolulu. The Japanese
papers consider the demand moderate.
