JAPANESE IN HAWAII.
Said to BE Soldiers Sent to Resist
Annexation.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 2.-If
the stories told by the passengers and
crew of the steamer City OF Peking.
which arrived here from Hongkong
via Honolulu on Tuesday evening. be
true, a state OF affairs exists In Hawaii
which demands the attention OF the state
Department. When the City OF Peking
arrived at Honolulu the attention OF the
other passengers on board the steamer
was attracted by the remarkably SYM
metrical movements OF ia Japanese pas
sengers In the steerage, who were as
embarking. Although classed as labor
ers. their well-drilled and military ap-
pearance was too palpable to escape OBJ
servation. and occasioned considerable
comment.
The Japanese were apparently under
the command Of veteran sergeant. and

tesy of the authorities, and gained Vaiu-
able information i'm camp duty. winch

ings in the display of the Exposition

membTance. ,.,.

a court OF inquiry to investigate the con-
duct of his command while on duty at
Fairfax Courthouse. Lieutenant Wing
field heard that the Governor had made
remarks rejecting on the discipline OF
his men. and asked for the appointment
of court. The application has been re-
fused for the reasons stated below:
Richmond, Va, September ~. 1897.
Commanding Officer First Brigade Vir-
ginia Volunteers:
sir.-I am directed by the Governor and
Commander-in-Chief TO say that he has
carefully considered the request OF Lieu
tenant II. II. Wingheld, Company ID,
Third Regiment, for a court OF inquiry 10
inquire into ''the statements and criti-
cisms in various newspapers regarding bis
action and that of his command while on
duty at Fairfax Courthouse in April last.
The Governor preSumeS, from semi-Offl-
cial information. that a portion OF said
criticisms referred TO by Lieutenant
Wingfieid were contained In certain news
papers and purporting to come from the
Governor While he does not recognize the
night of any officer TO make any other
than an official charge the basis of the
request for a court, as mentioned, still
less the reported conduct OF an offccr
or his command in any newspaper, yet he
does recognize the right OF an officer 20
ask for an investigation under the sec
tions ll93-ll96, Regulations Virginia Vol
unteers.
The Governor made no statement re-
fleet on either Lieutenant Wingneld or
any of his men. He was told that Com
pany ID, Third Regiment. on duty, by ms
order. had stacked arms at FAIRFAX
Courthouse and gone into supper, leaving
only one sentinel on guard over the rl1e
stacks. and this in the face of an as
semblage of several hundred persons sup
posed to be hostile TO the purpose Tor
which the company was ordered on duty.
In the general conversation following, the
Governor remarked that had the company
failed TO do its duty ne would disband II.
There was no charge Of failure 10 obey
orders or reflection upon any one, even
by implication.
This being the fact, and no charges
having been made against any officer or
enlisted man, he declines TO order a court
of inquiry in this case, as. in his
judgment, there is nothing requiring in
yestigation. Very respectfully,
CHARLES j. ANDERSON.
