ATTEMPTED KILLING.
Two Mexican Laborers Have Quarrel
And a Shooting Results.

Two Mexican Laborers Have a Quarrel
.. And a Shooting Results.
Manuel Herrera was wounded in the
mouth and chin with a Mexican car
bire bullet at the hands of Luis San
miguel yesterday afternoon about
o'clock, on South San Marcos street
near the city pound. Sanmiguel was
arrested by City Pound Officer Manuel
Lopez after a short chase and was
locked up on the charge Of assault to
kill and murder. The wound Of Her
rera is not considered very dangerous,
but it such as to preclude him from
making any statement as to the causes
leading up to the assault.
Neighbors state, however that the
men who are laborers had been work.
ing together but had had frequent
quarrels, and San Miguel says Herrera
called him abusive names.
The true version of the cause of the
difficulty develops regarding a young
Mexican girl, the niece of Sanmiguel
to whom Herrera was paying attention
and when Herrera saw Sanmiguel
talking to her yesterday he walked up
and cursed and abused the uncle very
severely, after which the uncle ran in
to his house, got his gun and punctur-
ed Herrera's chin.

Marquis Ito In Europe Stirring Sentiment
Against Hawaiian Annexation.

New York. July 27.-A special to the

lations between the United States and

by the manifest indications it bears OF
being INSPIRED" for only those in the

possibly have given the Figaro any
idea of the object which has caused
Marquis Ito to come TO Paris at this
particular juncture. The article is
headed, THE Voyage of Marquis Ito. ="
1t is in part as follows:
Marquis Ito has been in Paris sine.
Sunday and is stopping at the Hot 4
Continental. This astute. energetic and
very amiable diplomatst is now busy
dealing with the delicate situation
created in Japan by the pretentions of
the United States in the matter of the
annexation Of the Sandwich Islands.
1t appears that he has come to EuroDe
to protest most energetically in the
name of his government against what
he calls a usurpation big with dangers,
and he declares to his friends that
Japan, which has had to struggle
of the war with China, will go to the
end With the United States.
we must not. therefore, he surprised
if one of these days we have to an
nounce rupture of the relations he
tween these two countries in case the
annexation projects are maintained.
This would not, probably mean a dec
laration of war, but it would be the
beginning %. hostilities, more or less
open, the results of which would ee
harmful and which might have in store
surprises Of all kinds, for 80, 600 Japan

living in the Hawaiian islands and the
natives of the country hardly number
as many.
The object of Marquis Ito's journey
is to point out to Europe-rather too
neglectful according to him-thc peril
of this annexation to which the Vigor-

JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS
To Be Sent Into Hawaii by Hundreds Japan S
Latest Policy.

st. Louis. July PA special to the
Globe-Democrat from Los Angeles, Cal,
says: A letter written by Japanese Off
cial in Japan to a former Japanese officer
living in this city, conveys the informa-
ton that the Japcnese government will
forward to Honolulu, in the latter part
of July, 1900 Japanese emgrants. These
individuals are now in the garrison al
Naegata, being soldiers in the Japanese
service. and will go on shore In Honolulu
as simple citizens, but drilled and ready
for military service at once. The steam
crs which are to convey these men have
been chartered by the japanese govern
ment and carry, in addition to the 1900
passengers, arms. ammunition and mill
tary stores of sufficient quantity to make
it interesting for any party to prevent
their landing.
In addition three large men-of-war are
already preparing to leave Yokohama, to
arrive at Honolulu at about the same
time as the landing of the so-calied emf
grants will take place. The correspondent
who has been educated in the United
States, used the expression, no doubt ac-
qlired when here: I'VE will get there
and don't you forget it," and remarked
further: Il cannot write this in my own
language, but you understand English
predictions conveyed in previous letters
from this official We're verified
