YOKOHAMA, May 12.-From one of
the emigrants who went to Hawaii by
the Kinai Maru but was sent back
from there by the Hawaiian authorit-
les, the Tokyo Asahi has elected the
following: The emigrants, $50 in num-
rived at Hawaii on April 9th Upon
the vessel dropping anchor they were
all put into quarantine, each man being
examined separately. On the 18th of
the month 1873 men were let go while
the others were still detained Then,
on the 18th, they were told to leave the
quarantine station. At this they were
in high spirits,- but on going to the
gates, found that they were to be sent
back to the ship.
They not unnaturally got somewhat
excited and created some disturbance,
objecting to being so treated, as each
had $50 in gold in his pocket and there
was no sickness amongst them. But
the Hawaiian soldiers and police drove
them back with swords and clubs,
while a blank shot was fired from one
of the forts in order to coerce them in
to going on board. After they had
gone to the vessel in two tenders, Mr..
Shimamura, Minister Resident, came
off and advised them to keep quiet,
and they then took his advice and re

pitulates them with some addenda of
Indignation, we need not follow its
comments. But it's perplexity as to the
motive of the Hawaiian administration
surprises us. Why should there be any
perpleXity? Is it not quite plain that
the Hawaiians are frightened? They
have $4,000 Japanese in their islands at
present, and they see several other
thousands getting ready to cross over.
To be swamped by Japanese is the
prospect that presents itself to them.
We cannot wonder that they are
alarmed, or that, as is usually the
case with perturbed people, they re-
sorted to laundering devices, and are
now trying to find an exit from their
dilemma by blundering routes. Amer
lea and Australia have both considered
it necessary to legislate against the
unchecked irruption of Asiatic labor
ers, but neither America or Australia
was ever faced by such a problem as
now confronts Hawaii.
