streets were full of bright uniforms of all ma

WASHINGTON, May There has been
40 communication from the British
government to the authorities here con-
eerning Hawaii, and the report emana-

expressed disapproval of Hawaiian an

by officials.
a similar denial is made by officers
of the japanese legation as to the re-
ports that negotiations had been
opened between Toxic and Washing

The Japanese foreign Office has
gazetted the promotion of the present
Japanese consul general at Hawaii to
the rank of minister resident. This
gives him larger authority in dealing
with diplomatic affairs between Japan
and Hawaii and the legation here has
no further jurisdiction of the subject
except as it may affect the relations of
the United States and Japan.
