proposals Of a much more reasonable ma
ture than those he first offered. Originally
Japan demanded indemnity for the total
number of immigrants turned away from
the islands. Now, however, it is under
stood that she is willing to accept
damages in cases where the immigrant
was illegally rejected. This proposition.
the Hawaiian government will accept.
The original was for 32060 yen for each
man refused landing.

among the thousand or more immigrants
few errors may have been maue, and if
any such appear upon thorough investi-
cation, expresses its readiness to pay for
such mistakes
