FIND OUT THAT GUARDS ARE
REALLY ARMED.
Progress Of Work on the Biggest De-

Race characteristics.

The Japanese at the Kalihi detention
camp continued the same display Of
ugliness and temper which showed it.
self in the attempt at riot Monday
night. Those of them who make this
display and show this temper seem to
be led by one turbulent spirited fellow
Of burly frame He gathers crowds
around him several times a day and
makes speeches to them. Yesterday
those who follow his lead continued
their preparation of clubs and other
weapons. Some of them came around
TO the National Guardsmen on duty to
find out whether they really had am
munition. In expectation of possible
trouble ten rounds of ammunition
were issued to each guard at 6 o'clock
last night When the Japanese learned
of this there was no attempt at trou-
BILE. The heavy ran of last night also
kept them pretty well under shelter so
that there was no demonstration last
night.
The Kalihi camp is now assuming
shape and completeness, and will soon
he able to displace all other detention
camps. 1t is located on a big tract of
land bordering on the sea right down
toward the sea from the Kamehameha
schools and the Reform school. A
short street starting from King street
at the tram company's stables has been
extended through the sea, and a new
street running parallel to King street a
considerable distance makai of the Oa-
hu railroad has been cut through the
| opposite way The main buildings Of
the camp are in the block between this
new street and the sea, and Eva of
the new street running down from King
street A high board fence is being put
up around this block. 1t is now COM
| pleted on the Eva side and on the side
of the sea. In the center of this block
| is the wash house. Around 1t at suit
able distance are built and being built
| long cottages each divided into twenty
rooms having a back and front en-
trance, but no communication of the
rooms with each other. Water closets
Tor each cottage are arranged at suit
able places. AS soon as can be done
a cage wire fence will be built around
each cottage, so that If a case OF plague
breaks out in one cottage none of the
occupants of that cottage can mingle
with those in any other cottage.
The Japanese are in the cottages
nearest the sea. The Chinese and Ha-
waiians are in the cottages furth ai
mauka on the grounds. The building
in which are to be detained white sus-
poets is still further mauka and across
the new street bounding the grounds or
the mauka side. The administration
| UullulIlB is just Ildhdl oI IHe DullulIlg
for whites.
At present the kitchen facilities are
not sufficient nor satisfactory. Ono
person from each cottage is detailed t.
receive supplies and prepare the fooc
for the occupants of that cottage. The
cooking is done on open fires out o.
doors. 1t is believed that when better
cooking facilities can be provided ther,
will be more contentment and less
trouble among the Japanese,
The demeanor of the different nation
alities betrays their race characters
tics. The Hawaiians are happy ant
buoyant, and the only trouble to hi
found with them is that they will keel
up their singing and merriment til
late hours at night. The Chinese TAX
the situation philosophically and social
ly.
The policing of the grounds is don,
as far as possible by men selected from
among those detained in the camp. Th
camp is under the direction of Jacl
McVeigh.
