MORE TROUBLE FOR SPAIN
TEN JAPANESE LABORERs IN
SPANISH DUNGEONS.
The Miksdo's Government Will De-
mand AN Apology from spain and
Their Immediate Release.

TROUBLES never come singly"
is often exemplified in the case of
nations as well as men, and parti-
cularly is the old adage verified in
the case of Spain just now. Har-
assed as she is by the Cuban war,
her uncertain relations with the
United States, the Philippine re-
volt and her own internal troubles,
she has now a little affair on hand
with the Japanese government to
give her additional worriment.
A late Tacoma dispatch says:
For hosting a paper Spanish
flag when no better could be pro-
cured, Japanese subjects in the
island of Ladrone have been
secretly transported and held in
prison. The news had Just reach
ed Japan when the Northern Pa
cific steamship Pathan sailed, but
it created q Juror in official circles.
According to the Zekai-No-
Nihon, a Japanese paper, the
Nonaka South Pacific Trading
Company, had been doing bust
ness on Ladrone for some years
in copra and other products. Ten
Japanese live on the island. On
New Years day they met in house
with the intention of drinking the
health of the Emperor Of japan
and the King of Spain.
As they had no Spanish flag
they manufactured what was
meant to be one out of strips of
paper, and, crossing it with their
own national flag, placed both
over the door. A Spanish officer,
noticing the apology for his own
flag, ordered both to be hauled
down. This the Japanese refused
to do, and after some talk the
officer went away.
The Japanese we're feeling Sc
cure, believing that their apology
had been sufficient; but suddenly
the Spanish reappesred and seized
Mr.. Miyasaki, the manager of the
company, and the others and
took them to Guam, where they
are now being held for insulting
the dignity Of Spain in hosting
such travesty on a flag. No
trial was accorded them, bat they
were thrust hastily into q foul
smelling and ill ventilated prison,
and are kept from their friends.
Japan is preparing vigorous
protest.
