WARLIKE JAPANESE PAPERS.

ington Charge Jingoism.
San Francisco, April 30.-According
to adylces by steamer the Japanese
government Is aroused over the refusal
of the Hawaiian government to permit
Japanese immigrants to land there.
and has ordered warships to Honolulu
to enforce what the japanese imml-
grants consider their rights. Grave
complications have arisen. according
to Japanese official newspapers, over
the action of the United States gov
ernment in sending the Philadelphia to
Honolulu. Japanese official organs
claim the cruiser has been sent as a
menace to the Japanese government,
and is significant in that 1t foretells
annexation of the islands to the United
States. Japanese official newspapers
are full Of war talk
Washington. April 30.-The officials
Of the Japanese legation in this city
express themselves in positive terms
as having no fear Of International
complications between Japan and Ha-
wall or the United States growing
out of the differences between the first
two countries on the immigration
question. They belittle the possibility
of war over complications that may
arise. and attribute such talk to the
jingo newspapers, which are disposed,
they say, to make great ado over
matters that can readily be adjusted
by diplomacy. Several weeks ago the
legation here received information that
the Japanese cruiser Maniwa had been
ordered to Honolulu. and probably Is
there by this time. The object of hav-
ing vyat vessel at Honolulu 1t is as
serted, Is not sinister one, but Is SIM
ply an act by the Japanese govern
ment of the right claimed and enjoyed
by other countries of having naval
representation In the waters of coun-
tries where her citizens are located, SO
that in the event of necessity ample
protection may be afforded.
