The following letters were referred
by Minister Mott-Smith yesterday aft
ernoon to President Wood of the Board
of Health
February 26, 1900.
Hon. e. A. Mott-Smith Minister Of
Foreign Affairs.
Sir:-The japanese owners of mer-
chandise, now stored in the Aala ware
house, having lately completed their
term of quarantine, wish to resume
business, and are very anxious to know
about the official disposition of those
goods, wishing, if possible, to get per-
mission to take them out.
l am of the opinion there would be
little danger, If due sanitary processes
be imposed, and delayed action upon
the part of the Government or the
Board of Health would cause great I'M
easiness and much loss to the owners.
l should esteem ii a great favor if
the Government or the Board of Health
has, or should decide in promptly deal
ing with these goods as suggested, and
respectfully solicit your kind attention
to the matter.
have the honor to be, sir, your ODE
dent servant,
H. I. Japanese Majesty's Consul.
February 26, 1900.
Hon. e. A. Mott-Smith, Minister Of
Foreign Affairs.
Sir:-It was published in last Satur-
days paper that at a meeting of the
Board of Health, February 23d, a reso-
luton was passed that the President
of the Republic be requested in pur-
suance of the power vested i'm him by
law, to prohibit the introduction into
the Hawaiian Islands, of foodsturfs
named in the schedule below written,
| from Asiatic ports so long as plague
exists in any such ports" etc
My sole object in writing to you on
this resolution is to ask whether the
japanese Empire is included in the
phrase "Asiatic ports" and also to ask
whether the goods as scheduled in the
third class, if of Japanese manufac-
ture, are to be prohibited from coming
into the Hawaiian Islands even II the
plague may exist in any other Asiatic
ports outside of Japan notwithstand-
ing the recent advice that there is no
bubonic plague at any of her open
ports.
In case the foregoing resolution
should be so construed as to include
| the Japanese ports, the action taken
| by your Government would result in
great hardship and loss, not only to
unfortunate merchants, but would also
exclude much of the foodstuffs with
| which the laborers on the plantations
are of necessity compelled to supple
| ment that part of food which they can
get in these Islands
| In addition to the foregoing results
| the cutting off of such food supply, nee
essary to the laborefS to give the
strength to do efficiently their work, il
might result in dissatisfaction, deser-
tions, and even strikes, all of which
would be adding disaster to that which
we have already experienced.
Might | ask at your earliest con-
venience. whether gooSs Of japanese
manufacture be prohibited by the
schedule.
have the honor to be- sir, you ODE
dent servant,
MKT SATTO,
H. I. Japanese Majestys Consul.

solute free trade with the United States
1t is made a customs and revenue dis
trict and becomes subject to the general
tariff laws. The Porto Ricans will not
fail to cite this fact as one further argu-
ment i'm favor of according similar
treatment to them. They will see no
good reason for the discrimination di-
rected against them. They are also
reaceable, loyal and anxious to be as
simulated and Americanized.
Omitting minor provisions, 1t is i'm
portant to refer to the question of citl-
zenship. The greater portion of the Ha
waiian population, estimated at 1906
is composed of Asiatics, Chinese and
Japanese. These will enjoy no political
rights, and in fact the bill will exclude
Chinese immigrants and also prohibit
the further importation of Japanese
contract laborers. The suffrage will be
limited to natives, American and ma
turalized Europeans. Under the re-
public there were but 1888 registered
voters. but the pending bill well res
tore the suffrage to many natives who
were disfrachised by the laws of the
republic.
Doubtless the bill will be criticised
and amended in some particulars, but
the committee is warranted in demand
iIg prompt consideration and action.
Hawaii has waited long enough.

THE AMERICAN VIEW.
Chicago Evening Post Urges the
Hawaiian Bill.


The Chicago Evening Post of Febru-
airy II, says editorially:
In constructive work congress is I'M
fortunately slow, as the cases of Alaska
and Hawaii have abundantly demons
trated. The anomalous position of the
Hawaiian Islands, due to the failure OF
the late congress to provide a perma-
nent form of government for them, has
been often adVerted to in these columns.
The Supreme Court of the former re-
public has held that certain provisions
of the Constitution of the United States
did not extend thereto and once or
twice its rulings directly conficted with
the view of our State Department. Con-
fusion and friction necessarily resulted.
At last the house committee on terri
tories has prepared an elaborate report
on the Hawaiian question wherein it
urges immediate adoption of the pend
ing measure for the establishment of
territorial government in the mid Pa
cific group. The bill provoides for a
governor and secretary to be appointed
by the President of the United States
for Legislature consisting of a house
and senate; for a delegate to repre-
sent the territory in congress; for a
wide suffrage without property quail
fications, and for a supreme court and
superior courts to be established by
the territorial legislature.
Few of the difficulties presented by
Porto Rico exist in Hawaii. The Consti-
tuition and laws of the United States
are extended to the new territory, while
those of it's old laws that are not in
CONSTANT with the former are con-
tinued in force. OF course from the
standpoint of those senators and con-
gressmen who hold that the Constitu-
ton automatically extends to all ac-
quired territory this provision in the
Hawaiian bill is mere surplusage but
| it is not certain that their opinion will
be sustained by the supreme court.
The territory is naturally to have alb

THE TELEGRAM has received the
following letter from Sidney Aldrich,
Barre boy, formerly an employe in
Mrs. Houghton's laundry, but now in
the Philippines
Norzagaray, P. l., on the Bagbag
River, in the province of Bulacan
Island of Luzon, in the Archipelago
of the Philippines, June 2, 1900.
TO the TELEGRAM: l will tell some
of my experience 10 army life. l be-
long to Co. f, 35th regiment U. S.
volunteer infantry. Our captains
name is Earl w. Tanner. and our lieu
tenants, LIST, Bissell Thomas; I'd, AL
len Leforte. They are all three well
liked by the boys of the company.
The insurrection has been laying
low for the past two or three months,
until about the first May, when they
began to make another uprising in the
islands. The weather is extremely
warm and an American can hardly
bear the intense heat Of the sun. We
are having quite few trips out over
the mountains after the Insurgents,
but with very poor success, as each
hombre we met claims to be (Mucho
Miego) a friend, and we cannot tell
whether they are Insurgents, Ladro-
mes or friendlies.
A few of our boys went out a while
this morning, but when they got to
the place where they were going the
Insurgents had left there about an
hour and a half before they got there
We all think that the natives will
make another attempt for their free
dom during the rainy season, and if
they cannot do anything they will be
very apt to give up to the American
army.
