RACE WAR IN HAWAII
MURDEROUSLY AT
TACK THE CHINESE.
BELLiGERENTS KILLED
A Dozen or More Seriously Wounded
Martial Law Declared-Police
Hurry to Scene of TroubIe-Excite-
ment Intense and More Bloodshed
Expected

San Francisco, April 8.-The Associ-
aed Press representative at Honolulu
sends an account of the racial battles
between the Japanese and Chinese la
bOrers on the Kahuku plantation
which took place on March 26. For
some time trouble had been brewing
between the Japanese and Chinese.
TheJ apanese, armed heavily and we'll
organized, made an onslaught on the
Chinese quarters, first having placed
their own women in places of safety.
The Chinese were taken entirely I'M
awares. The Japanese welded spiked
clubs, knives and axes and before the
Chinese could make resistance, three
of their men were killed and dozen
seriously wounded, some fatally and
about 40 slightly injured. A squad of
police hurried to the scene from Hon
olulu and after considerable difficulty
the belligerents were dispersed. Mar
tial law has been declared on the
plantation. Twenty-three of the Jap
anese ring-Ieaders have been arrest
ed and seven Chinese were also jailed.
The Chinese on the island are greatly
excited and the merchants in Honolulu
look for further trouble.

Filipino, attempting to escape, slashed
vlciously at Maj. Weisenberger, who
shot and killed him. Sunday the in
surgents captured two men of the 14th
infantry, while unarmed, but the
Americans stole guns from their cap
tors, dubbed them, and hid in the
trees over night and returned Monday
morning.
Today the expedition will push for
ward, the Americans having destroyed
miles of telegraph line, cutting off in
surgent communication east and west,
The gunboat Bennington has been
sent to Balor, on the east coast, to re-
ileve a Spanish garrison of a men,
which has been beleaguered there
since May.
Ii is considered significant that the
Oceania Espanalo, formerly rabidly
ii favor of a Filipino government. is
now cOunselling disarmament and ad-
yising the Filipinos TO accept the inev-
liable. It has carefully analvzed the
proclamation of the Philippine COM
mission, pointing out the advantages
OF the definite policy determined upon.

PEACE COMMISSIONERS.
President Names Five to Attend Con
ference Proposed by Car.

Washington, April THE secretary
OF state has announced the members OF
the United States delegation to the
czar's peace congress, which will meet
at The Hague in the latter part OF May.
The delegation consists of the follow
ing: Andrew D. White, United States
ambassador at Berlin; Mr.. Newell,
United States minister to the Neither
lands; President Seth Lowe, Of Col
umbia university, New York; Capt
A. T. Mahan, retired, United States
navy. Frederick Hollis Of New York
will be secretary of the delegation.
Ambassador White sent a cable dis
patch from Berlin accepting the ap-
pointment as a peace commissioner.
He expressed the belief that the con-
ference will meet on the cZar's birth
day, May Is, and saiu that the report
that the delegates would be instructed
in a certain way was premature. In
any case, he said, nobody thinks of
asking the United States to reduce the
size of it's army. Mr.. White remarked
that the United States is deeply inter
ested in the arbitration feature to be
discussed at the conference.

BARABOO RIVER RAMPANT.

Elroy, Wis, April THE deep
snow in this vicinity is melting rap
idly, and the Baraboo river has over
flowed the low lands for miles about
this city. During the extremely cold
weather of January the ice gathered
on the river to a thickness Of four or
five feet, which is now breaking up
Workmen on the railroad bridge east
of the city were compelled to use dyn-
amite to prevent the formation of ice
jams. Country roads are under water
and it is only with the greatest diff
ficulty and danger that the farmers
are able to get to market. Should
even a light rain set in now, Elroy
would experience one of the greatest
floods ever known here, as the ground
is frozen and all water flows into the
river. The water from the hillside
runs into Main street, which is rap
idly being converted into an immense
mire hole
