SAN FRANCISCO, April THE steam
er Mariposa arrived today from Au-
Stralia, via Samoa and the Hawaiian
islands. The Associated Press repre-
sentative at Honolulu sends an account
OF racial battle between the Japanese
and Chinese laborers on the Kahuaku
plantation, which took place on March
&c. For some time trouble has been
brewing between the Japanese and Chi
nese. The Japanese. armed heavily and
well-organized, made an onslaught on
the Chinese quarters, first having placed
their own women and children in places
of safety. The Chinese were taken en-
tirely unawares. The Japanese welded
spiked clubs, knives and axes, and be-
fore the Chinese could make resistance
three of their men were killed and
dozen more seriously wounded some
fatally, and about forty slightly injured.
The noise of the battle reached head
quarters, and the manager of the plan
tation, Mr.. Wright, gathered a force of
Lunas- and went to the scene of the
trouble. After considerable difficulty the
belligerents were dispersed. A squad of
police was sent to the plantation from
Honolulu. and martial law was declared
on the plantation. Police from other sec
lions were soon on the spot, and before
nightfall eighty-iive officers were on
guard.
The Chinese fed from the plantation,
and great difficulty was experienced in
locating them. Twenty three of the Jap
anese ringleaders were arrested, and
seven Chinese were also jailed.
The Chinese on the island are greatly
excited, and the merchants in Honolulu
look for further trouble though the bet
ter classes are making every effort to
keep the opposing factions within legal
bounds. =
The Japanese and the Chinese had
some trouble on Saturday the dav pre-
vious to the battle, and the japanese as
sert that they visited the Chinese quar-
ters for the purpose of identifying the
Chinese who engaged in the trouble, in
tending to have them arrested. On en-
tering the Chinese quarter, they say. the
Chirese attacked them and in the trouble
which followed they secured the arms of
the Chinese, and used them with the eff
feet above mentioned.
