Chinese Are Denied Citizenship.

Honolulu, Dec. IA treasury ruling
in the matter of Chinese citizenship
has created excitement and surprise
among the Chinese population here. It
declares that the Chinese who were
naturalized citizens of Hawaii did not
become American citizens by virtue Of
the provisions of the territorial act.
Section 4 of that act declares that "all
persons who were citizens of the re-
public of Hawaii on August 12, 1899.
are hereby declared to be citizens of
the United States
Under this section Chinese citizens
of the late republic were supposed to
be American. and they were allowed to
vote. The question arose here when
some of the supposed American cit
izens wanted to leave Hawaii for the
United States. Collector Stackable
wrote to Washington and received the
new ruling on the Goth of last month.
The number of Chinese affected by
the ruling is small, but they are, for
the most part, wealthy merchants.
