JAPAN's CLAIM ON HAWAII.
Minister Hatch Thinks 1t VIII BE
Adjusted without Friction.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The Hawaiian
minister, Francis NJ. Hatch, who has just
arrived in the city on his return from
Honolulu, expressed the opinion to-day
that the trouble between Japan and
Hawaii had been smoothed out and can
be settled now without difficulty OF irri-
tation.
The Japanese government seems, he
said, to be disposed to have the matter
settled in as amicable a spirit as possi-
Bile. He added TT is entirely satisfac-
tory to Hawaii, I should judge, to have
the matter of the alleged claim for dam
ages stated definitely. 1t fixes the limit
of the claim If any damages are to be
allowed. Before the claim might have
been 80 or 100000. This, it seems to me,
places the matter in a more tangible
shape, and think the disposition on both
sides now is to treat of the matter in
friendly spirit"
The amount claimed by Japanese as
damages is not exceeding $500 900.
