Yesterday the hatred that exists be-
tween the japanese and Chinese flashed
into n fierce struggle at Kahuku. As
a result OF a quarrel between n China
man a Jap three Chinese are now dead
and others fatally wounded.
The struggle was n deadly one. The
Japs attacked their enemies while the
latter were wholly unprepared. With
their clubs and spiked weapons they
played hOvoc with the Chinese. and
horribly mutilated the bodies OF the
dead.
At present quiet reigns at the scene
OF the onslaught. The police des-
patched from here by a special train
are in complete control. The Chinese
are frenzied. however. and swear they
will have vengeance. 1t Is doubtful
whether the end has been reached yet.
