p1TH OF THE JAPANESE PROTEST


Which Gives q Base for the Protest-Dis-
pute rs to What Mutual" Means-Illi-
nois Representative Suddenly Summoned
Perry Heath Made Referee i'm Million
Dollar Case-Progress ON the Tariff.
Washington, June 25.-The gist of the
ton which was read to the senate COM
nittee on foreign relations Wednesday
is as followes: The acquisition of Ha-
wall by annexation to the United States
would deprive the resident japanese in
the islands of rights to which they are
at present entitled under the present
treaty with Hawaii. At present there
are $4,000 japanese in the islands with
large property rights and under thepres-
ent conditions they are entitled to be-
come citizens of Hawaii. In case of an
neXaticn these japanese could not be-
come citizens of the United States. as
the decisions of United States circuit
courts are to the effect that no Asiatic
can become a citizen of the United
States By annexation the japanese
now resident in Hawaii would be sub
ject to any measures that might be
adopted by the United States. They
would lose the right to become citizens
and to vote. The large interests owned
by japanese citizens in the ilsands would
be greatly jeopardized: therefore the
japanese government must firmly pro-
test against the proposed annexation.
What Does Mutual" Mean Anyhow:
Hawaiians in Washington insist that
the reason for the protest Of Japan
against annexation is that Japan really
desires to acquire the islands herself.
The main point Of contention between
Japan and Hawaii over the treaty
between the two countries, 1t is learned.
is as to the wording of the treaty, which
HAWAII seeks to abrogate. This treaty
has provision that 1t may be termin-
ated at any time by mutual consent"
This is construed by the japanese gov
eminent to mean that the treaty cannot
be terminated without the consent of
insists upon keeping 1t in force it cannot
be abrogated. The Hawaiian contention
is that the words have no such meaning;
that,any contract or agreement can be
dissolved by mutual consent as a matter
of course; that If the claim of Japan
was valid the treaty would be in effect
permanently. 1t is understood that Ja-
pan insists that her present claims must
be acknowledged and accepted by the
United States in case Of annexation, al
though protesting against annexation.

sueessstui Test Of New Apparatus n
France.
The Submarine sentinel Is he
name OF a new apparatus which has
quite recently been experimental with
by the French navy. The final tests
were made In San Juan hay BY a special
commission. consisting OF Capt Fort
commander Of the French armorclad
Magenta: Lieut. Series. the adiutant
Of Admiral GervilH. and a number OF
officers from the French Mediterranean
squadron. The apparatus which was op-
Grated from the torpedo boat sarrizin'
succeeded in exploding two automatic
torpedoes which had previously been
placed IN the channel Of navigation,
but without the knowledge OF the CON-
mander Of the sarrixin. The successful
result Of this Official test has been sub
mitted to the French minister OF ma
rine and the adoption Of the submarine
sentinel by the French navy wal
strongly recommended by the commits
sion to the higher authorities. In The
report Capt. Fort stated that II wal
the only apparatus so far known offer
