RACE RIOTS in HAWAII
A Regular Battle Between japanese

racial battle between japanese and
Chinese laborers on the Kahuku plant

For some time past trouble has been
brewing between the japanese and
Chinese, and the japanese armed
heavily and well organized, made an
onslaught On the Chinese quarters on

their own women and children in

The Japanese descended on the
Chinese in q body, taking them en-
tirely unawares. The japanese WELD

seriously wounded. some fatally, and
about forty slightly injured.

Police from other sections were soon
on the spot and before nigh, fall 55

FOR PACIFIC CABLE
Old Collier Nero Being Fitted
Up for an Expedition.
Will Make SoundinaS and Carefully
Examine the Route From Homo
lulu TO Clam and ThenCe TO
Manila Play Extend 70 Japan.

Washington. April THE navy de
par;ment is having the former collier
Nero entirely refitted at san Francisco
to be used for the expedition to make
soundings for a cable route between
Honolulu and the Philippines by way
of Guam The work of rem0deling the
vessel for this duty has now pro-
gressed far toward completion As
soon as il is finished. orders will be is
sued for the expedition to start The
crew for the work has already been
made UP.
The expedition will probably set
away in ten days at the latest, and the
ejaculation at the navy department is
that the cruise will be for at least a
year. No soundings will be made be
tween San Francisco and Homo
lulu. soundfngs between those
points having already been taken.
The Nero will proceed with
due speed to Honolulu, and will there
coal up for the long and tedious trip
which she will make from that point
to Guam. No reliable soundings have
ever been made between Honolulu and
Guam, and the work of the Nero's crew
will have to be done with great care.
The same may be said Of the sound
ings which will be taken between
Guam and Manila
There is no doubt that the next con-
gress viii make provision for tbs lay
ing of cable between San Francisco
and the Philippines by way of Guam,
and it is in order that no time may be
icst in the completion of the work
once it is undertaken, that the admin
istration has ordered cut the present
expedition fer the taking Of soundings
At least a preliminary report will have
been received from the officers in
charge Of the expedition by tbs time
congress meets. and upon this report
she work Of laying the cable can De he
gun as soon as congress gives the au-
5hcrity
After completing the soundings be
tween Honolulu ana Manila, the Nero
will be authorized by the navy depart
ment TO continue the soundings to
Japan. The administration would like
very much to have a direct cable be
tween the United States and Japan,
believing it would do much to cement
the friendly relations now existing be-
TWEEN the two governments. There is
a similar feeling on the pa.t of the
japanese, and the President will give
heed to this reciprocal ccTdtality to
the extent of having the soundings for
tbs cable extended as far as Japan It
is not Improbable that sCme arrange
ment may be entered into between the
United States and Japan for the joint
control OF the cable line between Ma
Mia and Japan.
