Maui, March 20.

Maui, March 20.
The inquest in the japanese murder
case has been postponed until next
Monday, the Marshal and Interpreter
Doyle not having arrived. They are
expected by tomorrow, on special
steamer. The Japs have been advised
to abide by the decision of the court,
and to be orderly and quiet. SO the
matter rests, pending the Marshals ar
rival. 1t is said when the trial comes
off the japanese plan to attend in a
body.
A well dressed japanese, who claims
to be a minister, has been seen about
plantations quarters here lately. The
report is though that he is not a min
ister, but was an officer in the late war
between China and Japan, and is here
for other kinds of missionary" work.
The report goes that he is making a
map$ of the coast of Maui marking
down reefs and harbors, and that he
has been estimating the number of
Japanese in the different plantation
camps. He is at present stopping at
Paia. There may no truth in the re-
port, but 1t has gained much ground
amongst the Portuguese, and some OF
the prominent ones here say that Ja-
pan intends soon to take the islands.
