LIVELY DAYS AT HONOLULU
ECHOES OF JAPAN'S INDIGNATION
REACH THE ISLANDS.

Hawaii would Try to Take Matters Int
Their Own Hands - Everybody Thinks
That Annexation IL CominE Very soon.
HONOLULU, April 22.-The arrival Of the Phil
adelphia and the news from Japan Of the popu-
lar rage over the return Of the Japanese immi-
grants have combined to make things lively
here. Tho Japanese native press is calling upon
the Government to send a war fleet to Honolulu.
At the instance of Count ohuma, the navy has
decided to send q warship to Hawaii with the
double view OF pacifying Japanese residents and
demonstrating Japan's determination to the
Hawaiian republic that her subjects must DO
treated fairly.
The Japanese Foreign Office has instructed the
Board of Emigration at Kobe to stop the de-
parture Of emigrants for the islands at present.
The greatest indignation is expressed over the
refusal of tho Hawaiian Government to land
Japanese emigrants who came here on the
steamship Shinshu Maru. Two Of tho influ-
entail newspapers in Yokohama advise that the
Shinshu Maru be sent back to Honolulu with all
the rejected passengers in company with sew
eral warships. and that q demand be made upon
the Hawaiian Government to permit tho emil
grants to land. Should the demand be refused.
they say, Minister Shimamura should be in
structed to open strong negotiations. 1t also
suggests that the Japanese Government should
demand compensation from Hawaii.
The Kokumin is Of the opinion that the re-
fusal of the Hawaiian authorities to permit the
Shinshu Maru emigrants to land 10 merely the
first step toward the affiliation of the islands
with the United States. 1t further says en-
phatically that the Japanese Government is OPP
posed to the union, and it will send its warships
to Honolulu to prevent union II possible.
The Chutco says that a telegram has been re-
ceived by the Japanese authorities to the effect
that England has sent an intimation TO the
United States Government that she objects to
the proposed annexation Of the islands. Not much
stock is taken in this story here. Another re-
port says that the United States Legation at
