was officially denied that an Anglo
Belgian movement has been thus con-
certed against the Alahdists. The
general impression, however, was that
this force was intended to act in con-
junction with the Anglo Egyptian ex-
petition up the Nile and take the
Mahdists between two fires. and event
ually complete the re-conquest of the
Soudan. In August last Baron Dhanis
was reported TO have arrived at Lado,
north of the territory of the Congo
Free State, on the White Nile and

the Dhanis expedition would push

why Japan Kicks on the Hawaii Treaty.

The protest of Japan to the Hawaiian
annexation treaty is in substance as
follows; The acquisition of Hawaii by
annexation to the United States would
deprive the $4,000 resident Japanese
in the islands of rights of citizenship
and property holders to which they
are at present entitled under the pres
.ent treaty with Hawaii. In case of an.
nexation, these japanese could not be-
come citizens of the United States,
as the decisions of United States courts
are to the effect that no Asiatic can
become citizen of the United States.
BY annexation, the Japanese now resi-
dent in Hawaii would be subject to any
measures that might be adopted by the
United States.
Hawaiians in Washington insist that
the reason for the protest of Japan
against annexation is that Japan really
desires TO acquire the islands herself.
1t is understood that Japan insists that
her present claims must be acknowl-
edged and accepted by the United
States in case of annexation. although
protesting against annexation.
