VIEWS OF EN-UNITED STATES
MINISTER DUN.
Says There Is No Danger of Trouble
Between Japan and the United
States or Hawaii.

Hon. Edwin Dun, ex-United States
Minister to Japan, is through pas
senger on the Belgic. He is en- route
for Washington, accompanied bv his
daughter, and expects to spend sew
eral weeks in the United States before
returning to Japan, where he has re-
sided since 1873. Mr.. Dun has been in
the diplomatic service since 1888, and
has served as United States Minister
during the past four years with great
credit
Mr.. Dun believes in annexation but
is of the opinion that the present Con-
gress will never take favorable action
on the treaty now before it. He does
not look for any rupture that may dis
turb the friendly relations now exist
ing between the United States
Japan, but he does believe that the
Government has a just claim against
the Hawaiian Government in connec-
ton with the immigration troubles.
although she is not Likely to enforce
her claim in case the Hawaiian Gov
ernment refuses to recognize them.
"AnneNation should have been ac-
complished four years ago" said Mr..
Dun, "and then all of the present diff
culties would have been avoided. 7 am
of the opinion that Congress, at the
session just closed, has not acted upon
the annexation treaty.
There is no possible likelihood Of
trouble between Japan and the United
States, all reports to the contrary.
They have enjoyed peaceful trade re
lations that are constantly growing,
and Hawaii is not of sufficient inn
portance to bring them to an open
rupture. Japan naturally protested
against the annexation treaty.
81 believe that the japanese Govern
ment will act favorably upon the re-
cent offer of arbitration nude by your
Government. The japanese of al
classes feel very bitterly against yolr
Government, but / may venture the
opinion that whatever the outcome of
the present correspondence may be
Japan will never attempt to use force
of arms i'm enforcing her claim"

JAPAN AND HAWAII.
The Government Organ on the An
nexation Question.

There appeared very little news on
the controversy between Japan and
Hawaii in the Toxic and Yokohama
English press from July to July II,
when the Belgic departed.
The Toxic Mainichi, the official or
gan, in touching editorially on the
matter, says:
Hawaii appears to be e.rivin" to
settle the emgrant affair amicably so
as not to impair the existing friend
ship with Japan"
1t goes on to say: "Supposing, how
ever, the Senate passes the treaty, how
will Japan act then? The United
States Secretary of State, in reply to
.Japan's first protest, has stated that
the annexation of Hawaii does not in
iure the interests in the Pacific of
Japan or any other countries and that
Hawaii has, as history shows FOR the
past seventy-five years been under the
protection of the United States. From
this it appears that the determination
of America on the subject is very firm
The Japanese Government, however
has not relied on the attitude of Other
countries from the outset and this
policy will be adhered to to the last. >

BACK FROM THE ORIENT.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. f. Allen returned
on the Belgic this morning after an
extended trip to the Orient, Mr.. Allen
was suffering from pains in his ~ide
upon arrival of the boat here and he
is now confined to his bed. He hopes
to be up and down town within day
or two. Previous to this attack, which
came only few days ago, Mr.. Allen
was in the best of health. Both he
and Mrs. Allen have been greatly ben
eftted by the trip.

The news arrived by the Belgic that
gang of Achinese passengers on
board the British steamer Pegu muir
dered Captain Ross and seven of the
crew. natives, wounded sixteen others,
looted the ship, and afterwards fled
to the Acheen coast with their booty.
The massacre occurred on the 18th of
this month.
Achin. or Acheen, is a portion of the
island of Sumatra. The inhabitants
are Mohammedans, men of very de-
perate characters, and in former times
they held sway over many territories
bordering the Straits of Malacca. To-
day they are chiefly notorious for
their obstinate and successful resist
ance to Dutch supremacy.
AS far back as 1910 Spanish brig,
the Bilbaino, was looted and burnt. Tn
1857 a similar fate befell the British
steamer Queen, which was looted and
burnt on Sunday, February 23. Tn
1866 quite number of vessels were
plundered by pirates. including the
and the Danish bark Carl on June Is,
and the American brig Lubra, which
was captured on September 23 of the
same year. This led to an active hunt
for pirates by British and Ameri an
warships, but, undeterred by the ven
geance meted out to many of their fell
lows, others in 1868 looted the Les
mona. and in 1869 the Apenrade and
the Crofton were successfully ex-
plotted.
For little time there was lull,
and then in August, 1874, the Spark
was captured while on voyage from
Canton to Macao The following year
an attempt, which did not succeed,
was made on the Kwantung, but in
October. 1885, the steamer Greyhound
was looted Five years elapsed when
news came of the terrible tragedy on
the 9th of December, 1890, when the
Namoa was taken, her Captain and
two others killed, and $4,000 stolen.
The Namoa, with $50 Chinese and
five European passengers, was bound
from Hongkong to Chinese coast
ports. Nearly all the Cinnamon were
returning home with the savings of
years in their possession. Sixty des-
peradoes looted the ship and perpe-
trated the murders.
There was sequel to this outrage
at Kowloon, in April, 1891, when nine
teen pirates were beheaded, and later,
on May II of the same year, when an
other batch of fifteen, including the
leader, were beheaded.

A representative of the japanese in

the Agricultural and Commercial De-
partment few days ago and submit
ted the condition of affairs on the
island to the officials in char~o '"-
cording to his story, although the ISL
and is comparatively small. there are
already over 500 Japanese engaged in
the pearl fishery on the island. In
spite of this fact, japanese from
Wakayama and other prefectures con-
tinue to arrive, and in consequence
bitter feelings are entertained by the
white people towards the Japanese.
The maximum number of vessels en-
gagged in the pearl fishery is fixed by
law at $50, and there would be no
room for further emigrants. The
white men are endeavoring to expel
the japanese by force, but so far, for
tunately no serious collision has &C.
Cured. A Rev. Mr.. Woods is said tc
be doing his best to repair the bad
feelings between the foreigners an1
