CURTAlLS JAPANESE RIGHTS
Gist Of the Annexation Protest Made by
Japan.
HOLD THAT IT lNVALIDATES TREATY.
At Present Have the Right of Citl-
Icnship in Hawaiian Republic
which United states Law
Denies to Them.
IOLD THAT IT INyAulDATES TREATY.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The gist OF the
protest Of Japan to Hawaiian annexation,
which was cad to the senate committee on
foreign relations yesterday, is as follows
The acquisition Of Hawaii by annexation
TO the United States would deprive the
10 which they are at present entitled under
the present treaty with Hawaii. At present
there are 5000 Japanese on the Islands,
with large property rights, and under the
present conditions they are entitled TO be-
come citizens of Hawaii. In case Of an
nexation these japanese could not become
citizens of the United States as the de-
cisons Of the United States circuit courts
are to the effect tnat no Asiatic can be. be-.
annexation the. Japanese now resident in
Hawaii would be subject to any measures
that may be adopted by. the United States
They would lose the right to become citi-
Zens and to vote and the large interests
owned by Japanese citizens in the Islands
would be greatly jeopardzed therefore the
japanese government must firmly protest
against the proposed anneNation.
Hawalians in Washington insist that the
reason for the protest Of Japan against an
nexatlon is that Japan really desires to ac-
quire the Islands itself. The main point of
contention between Japan and Hawaii over
the treaty between the two countries, it is
learned, is as to the wording Of the treaty,
which Hawaii seeks to abrogate This treaty
has provision that II may be terminated
at any time by mutual consent" This is
construed by the Japanese government to
mean that the treaty cannot be terminated
without the consent of both governments,
and as long as japan insists upon keeping
II in force It cannot be abrogated. The Ha
waiian contention is that the words have
no such meaning and that any contract or
agreement can be dissolved by mutual con-
sent as a matter OF course; that II the claim
OF Japan was valid the treaty would be in
effect permanently. 1t is understood that
Japan insists that It's present claims must be
acknowledged and accepted by the United
States in case OF annexation, although pro-
testing against annexation.

city Prepares to Prevent the RenIiins
of the Alley.

OF the Alley.
The city officials have what they CON
slider reliable information that Kingman &
Co. propose to resort to new expcdient II
they should fail to accomplish anything in
the United States circuit court SATURDAY.
This Information is to the effect tina. the
firm has made arrangements to secure the
services of a big gang of men and teams
and fill up the alley in the rear Of their
building as rapidly as it was graded down
by the city last sunday There are num-
Der of big banks of eartn in the immediate
vicinity, and 1t would be a short task to
transfer a lot of this earth to the alley
with force Of teams and scrapers
In view Of this possibility, the city legal
department has prepared a petition and
bond for an injunction and restraining order
ready to be signed by one Of the judges
Of the district court. This order VIII he
issued at once. in case the attempt 20 fiji
the alley should be made. A reccut arlend-
ment to the old law provides that an in
junction may be issued on Sunday. and the
city has prepared to have a timing
order issued at any hour of the day or night
that 1t may be necessary. AS the alley be-
longs to the city any attempt TO ohntruct
it could be met by directing the chief of
police to enforce the ordinance but an in
junction Is chosen as a less radical means

HOLDS THE AWARD FRAUDULENT
judgement Against Mexico Procured
by Corrupt Testimony.

by Corrupt Testimony.
WASHINGTON, June 24-The United
States court of claims today rendered a de
cision in the famous La Abra case, holding
in effect that the award rendered against
Mexico by Sir Edward Thornton, acting as
umpire under the treaty of 1868 with
Mexico was obtained by testimony of a cor
rupt character. The court of claims derived
jurisdiction from a special act of congress

charge of fraud brought by Mexico, and
made the basis OF an application by that
government to the United States to return
so much of the money awarded as remains
undisturbed in the latter's hands The fol-
lowing is a copy of the decree entered to-
day:
The court finding from the evidence that
the award made by the United States and
Mexican mixed commission in respect to
the claim of said company was obtained
as to the whole sum included therein by
fraud, effectuated by means of false swear
ing and other false and fraudulent prac-
titces on the part of said company and its
agents: 1t is therefore hereby ordered, ad-
Judged and decreed that all claims in law
and equity on the part of said company, its
legal representatives and assigns be forever
barred and foreCloSed of all claim to the
money received from the republic of Mexico
for, on account. of such award.
