sient and superficial influence as things
are now in Japan.
The Buddhist priests are in bad re-
pute. because of their ignorance and
immortality; and the head of the Shinto
priesthood is said to be living life not

station
There are redeeming features, that
may well claim the travellers appro-
bation There is in the western section
of Tokyo a large and we'll appointed
hospital, conducted under the auspices
Of the Red Cross Society of Japan. The
physicians and nurses are Japanese.
It is noteworthy fact that the head
nurse is a Christian woman. and the
nurses who are Christians are selected
for such posts as involve special quail
fcations for intelligence and response
bility. There is a large school for the
young peeresses, under the patronage
Of the Empress, with about $50 pupils.
The building is in it's architectural ap-
pearance like priory of old England.
There are about 40 teachers, some OF
them men, in the upper class rooms.
where history, morality, Japanese lit
erature. and such studies are taught.
There is kindergarten Department,
with about 60 pupils, and three Kin
dergartners. The attendants wait until
the little ones have finished their
morning exercises, and then see them
safely home. But while the motion
songs and the marching are in recog-
nized Kindergarten style, the japanese
themselves say there is difference
after all in the spirit and results of the
training, from the absence of the re-
ligicus and Christian element, which
isl marked feature Of our Honolulu
Kindergartens. If l may criticize the
teaching on mere momentary obser-
vation of work in the class rooms,
should say that the teachers did not
seem to know their scholars personal
ly With us the personal element is a
marked characteristic of good teach
ing, as distinguished from a mere per-
functory and mechanical performance
of the teachers work. H.

that the complaint does not state facts
sufficient to constitute cause of ac-
ton. The suit involves property to
the value of over a hundred thousand
dollars. The plaintiffs claim is that
under the will of her adopted father,
Queen Emma inherited the property,
which should in turn descend to her
issue. AS she died without issue, the
claim is that she was only residuary
legatee and the property should revert
back to her adopted fathers estate.

W
Two Claiming American Citizenship
Sent to Recojidas.
NEW YORK, September 22.-The
United States will soon be called upon
to investigate another outrage upon
American citizenship perpetrated by
Spanish officials in Havana Last Sat-
urday two refined women, citizens Of
the United States, were taken from
their home in Jesus del Monte, q SUI
burb of Havana, and after long and
wearisome detention in precinct sta
ton, were carried to Recojidas. where
they are now confined.
Dora Rosario LApeira and her step
daughter, Amelia Lapeira v Lapria,
both claimed American citizenship
when arrested, but Notwithstanding no
report of the arrest has been received
by Consul Springer from the Spanish
officials. The charge against these two
victims of Spanish brutality, now con-
fined incommunicado In ROcojidas, is
that they were guilty of corresponding
with relatives in the field. 1t is claimed
by officials who made the arrest-In-
spectors Queba and Martinez-that let
ters were found in the house from two
sons Of Sonora Lapeira and the fiance
of Amelia. These three young men are
operating with Aranguren in Havana
Province.

AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Reorganization Of Strong Po'
litical Body.


The American League has been re-
organized, and stands today In rather
better odor than in the early period Of
Its history. when anybody with white
skin and = certificate OF American
naturalization could become q member.
In those days the meetings were only
semi-private and the public was occa-
sionally enlightened OF the doings Of
the body through the columns Of the
press.
But all this Is changed now, and It
is difficult for a reporter to get the
particulars as II would be for q ten
derfoot to find water in Death Valley.
The aims Of the League are the same
today as when 1t was started, but more
representative and fewer worthless
men are taken in. This change was
found necessary In 1895. Some Of the
members were found lacking in patrf-
otism and stamina. At present there
are about 800 good men and true" In
the League, all willing to talk or tight
for annexation, and their enthusiasm
In the cause is as strong as ever. Since
the reorganization many Of the ex-
PEELED members have made application
for reinstatement, but In nearly every
instance they have been refused.
Just now the members meet In dis
tricts; not in general session, as for
merly, and these district meetings are
called by the order Of the Central COM
mittee. No one outside the committee
and the members of the district organi-
cation are supposed to know when or
where these meetings are held. What
ever action is taken in the district
meeting is reported to the Central
Committee for ratification. In this way
the work Is done quietly and efIec-
lively.
The League, in the event Of annex
alton, hopes to be the strongest party
In the political field, and will be Re-
publican. Should annexation TAIL, It
will be the strongest party anyhow. and
still Republican.
