Havaitans Think.
San Francisco, April 29.-According tc
ndvicss by steamer this morning, the
Japanese government is aroused over the
refusal OF the Hawaiian government 10
permit ShinsAiu immigrants 10 land
there, and has ordered warships TO Hon
plulu 10 enforce what the japanese i'm
eign office instructed Hiogo Kencho at
Kobe on the 9th instant 10 stop the de-
parture of immigrants for these islands
at once.
Grave complications have arisen, ac-
cord:ng TO japanese official news, over
the action OF the United States govern
ment in sending the Philadelphia to
Honolulu. Japaneses official organs
claim that the cruiser has been sent as a
menace 20 the japanese government and
that the action is significan. in that it
tcreteis annexation Of the islands TO the
United STATES.
japanese official newspapers are full
OF war talk. The Gnu Wo states that a
telegram has been received by The Jap
anese authorities to the effect that Eng
land has sent an in;i:nation 20 the Unit
ed States thai she objects 10 the intend
ed annexation by the latter of the
Hawaiian republic.
The Sekai No Nifon says that series
of Geographic communica tons are at
present passing between the United
States legation IN Toxic and the United
States government, and is OF the opin-
ion that they relate TO the refusal of the
Hawaiian government to permit Japan
csc enigrants 20 land.
WHAT HAWAIIANS THINK.
San Francisco. April 29.-The steamer
Doric. which called al Honolulu, April
20. brings advices that Hawaiians are
making much Of the presence Of the
Philadelphia. The advices say:
ut is certain that Admiral Beardslee
, has not come 10 Honolulu clothed with
executive power to execute a special
mission for his government. Had he
came to annex the island or to re-seat
the ex-queel on her throne, he certainly
would not hoist his deck awnings, set
the painters TO painting the ship, and.
with his officers, accept hospitalities
from friends ashore. II is believed that
admiral is awaiting fresh orders by the
next steamer from San Francisco before
proceeding on his mission.
"Hawaiians believe that the president
IS about TO appoint minister who will
come to Honolulu and consummate an
nexation. 1t is generally believed that
cruiser Philadelphia was sent at the re-
quest Of Acting Minister Mills TO protect
United States citizens and property in
case OF trouble with the japanese gov
eminent over the refusal OF President
Dole TO permit japanese immigrants TO
land here.
Colonel z. S. Spalding, the cable nro-
moter, has returned from Washington
His cable agreement with that govern
meat expires on May T. He will make
an efort TO have the option extended, |
but II Is understood that President DoIa
and his cabinet are opposed to granting
an exclusive franchise"
WASHINGTON JAPS DENY
Washington, April 29.-The officials If
the japanese legation in thisc itv ex-
pressed themselves in positive terms as
having no fear Of international commit
cations between Japan and Hawaii or
The United States. growing out of the
oiHerences between the first two CONN
tres on the immigration question. They
pehttle the possibilities of war over the
complications which may arise, and al
tribute such talk to the lingo newsna-
pers, which are disposed TO make great
ADO over matters that readily can be adj
1usied by diplomacy, and concerning
which there is no warrant for the pre-
dictions that trouble is likely to follow"
several weeks ago the legation here re-
ceiEed informa ton that the Japanese
cruiser Maniwa had been ordered 70
Honolulu. ana it is probably there by
THIS lime. The objec- of having a war
vessel at Honolulu. i; is asserted. is NOT
sinister one, but is simply an exercise
by the japanese government of the right
claimed and enjoyed by other countries.
IF having representatives in the waters
II countries where her citizens are iocat-
"a, SO that in the event of necessity, am
pie protection may be afforded.
