JAPS AND HAWAII.
Additional Advices Relating to the
Recent Deportations.

WASHINGTON, April 13-The Jap
anese Legation has received Geographic
advices from official sources in relation
to the recent deportation from the Ha-
waiian Islands of a number of Japanese
immigrants which do not agree entirely
in all details with the accounts already
published in this country
1t appears according to these advces
that out of the 66S Japanese passengers
brought to Honolulu by the steamer
ShinShinn Maru, 302 voluntary pas
sengers and 146 contract laborers were
sent. back to Japan. The Hawaiian au-
thorities refused to allow these people
to land on the ground that the volun-
tary passengers were not possessed of
$50 in gold each, as provided in the
landing law, and because the contract
laborers had not complied with the pro-
visions of the landing law in securing
previous approval of their contracts.
The passengers thereupon pettioned
the Supreme Court to set aside the de-
cision of the Collector General of Gus
toms forbidding them to land, but the
court rejected the petition on the
ground that the decision of the Col
lector-General regarding the landing of
aliens was final, and that japanese not
yet landed in the islands had no right
to petition.
The Japanese Consul-General protest
ed against this action on the ground
that the exclusion of the voluntary
immigrants was in violation of treaty
rights. whatever might be the case re-
garding the laborers and their alleged
failure to secure previous approval of
their contracts. He, himself has per-
Sonally examined into the facts regard
ing the voluntary immigrants, and had
found that they We're all in bona fide
possession of the amount of money re-
quired by law in such cases.
So far as they at least were concern
ed, the decision of the Collector-Genera1
appeared to be in violation both of the
law and of the facts. While it is true
that one, not two Japanese men-of-war,
as stated in press dispatches, have been
sent to Hawaii, officials of the Japanese
Legation state most positively, that
this action has not been taken for the
purpose of menacing the Hawaiian
Government, but simply to preserve or
der among the Japanese residents in
the islands who might possibly become
excited by what they regard as a viola
ton of the rights of their countrymen
YOKOHAMA, April 13.-The Japan
csc cruiser Namaiwa will sail from this
port for Hawaii next Saturday to pro-
vide against contingencies which might
grow out of the existing dispute with
Hawaii over the treaty in regard to
the immigration.

in the event of rising of the Albanians
in it's rear, which is one of the objects
which the Ethnike Hetairia has in view.
A significant fact pointing to the way
the wind is blowing is that the Greek
Government has telegraphed to Colonel
Berthes, who has promised to bring with
him 1000 Italian volunteers, telling him
to hold himself and his men in readiness
to come here at any moment.
All the Greek Deputies have been sum-
moned to attend the next meeting of the
Boule, when an important pronuncia-
mento is expected.
The Powers, however are still trying
to avert a war with little prospect of
success. 1t is stated that the French
ambassador at Constantinople NJ Gam
bon, has been instructed to draft an
autonomous constitution for the Island
of Crete, allowing the Cretans to choose
their own Governor, and providing for
a simultaneous Greek and Turkish
evacuation of the island. 1t is feared
these efforts will turn out to have been
made too late.

LONDON. April 13.-A representative

that communications are passing be-

reference to the Behring Sea. The
greatest secrecy is preserved here on
the subject.

The st. James Gazette" says: "Tha
United States has inflicted another

Could a more complete demonstration
OF the hollowness of arbitration be Civ

may become as serious as the Vene-
zuelan dispute. We are bound to sup
port the Canadians reasonable claims

spect Washington feels for arbitra-
ton"
A representative of the Associated
Press has had interviews on the sub
Jects with the heads of the sealing in
dustry here. The importers of London
hail with satisfaction the prospect that
1t will diminish sealing and urge an
extension of the close time of pelagic
sealing to the end of August, and the
close of the zone to 200 miles from the
Pr1bylom Islands. They complain that
Canada is running the future of the
trade; that prices are so low that few
er expeditions are being fitted out and
they hope the United States will carry
out its intention to exclude all the
Northwestern female skins, adding that
II Canada would only consent some ar
rangeTnent might be made to resume
pelagic sealing a few years hence, when
seals are more plentiful.
The Globe" remarks that there is no
doubt Lord Salisbury will refuse to re-
open the Behring Sea question until the
