MATTER
IS ONLY
THRILLING
Question Of Seizure Of Islands
by a United States Gunhoat
VIII Be Quickly SottIsd.

Charge DAffaires Raikes was seen at
the British legation here today by an As
ISOLATED Press representatives at New
port in regard to the representation which
he has made TO the state department for
his government TO regard TO Borneo and
he said that II seemed TO him that some
times a great deal was made by the press
In this country out Of trifies.
The present incident he considered one
of very minor Importance and one that
would be amicably settled,
He could not divulge the drift of the
representations made to our government
as they were matters of state. but he
said that as he understood IL that the
entire matter concerned a couple OF small
Islands of the coast of Borneo which had
been made a resort OF pirates and that
for the protection OF its commerce Eng
land had driven these robbors OF the sea
OF and then policed them against reoc-
cupation by the pirates.
He could not say that the islands were
inhabited and as far as he knew they
were not or were likely TO lie a source
OF profit 10 any one. Spain when IN
power there had offered no objection Ia
England's course and England had only
done as she had for the sake OF her
commerce. Mr.. Raikes remarked that
perhaps the United States would police
them just as well as his own country
and the settlement Of the present ques-
tion did not seem to be a very great
problem.
London. Sept. 1i.-With reference to
the representations made to Washington
by the British charge d'anaires. Mr..
Raikes, regarding the seizure OF two or
three islands of the northeast coast OF
British North Borneo by the United
States gunboat Quiros, foreign office
official said today:
THE case seems quite simple. The
Americans seized the islands. which they
claim were Spanish. We believed them
TO be British. Protest is a very strong
word TO use in connection with our COM
ments upon the subject"

Statue Damaged

That the beautiful statue, that tribute
to the memory of the great Kameha-
meha I, which stood in Palace Square,
should be defaced by vandals, ought to
arouse the vengeance of all public
spirited citizens of our city. To see
the figure that stood out proudly
against the sky. fallen, a shattered
mass of former stateliness, a mixed
pile of parted grandeur brings the feel
ings of revenge into many a breast,
and If the police lay hands on the cul-
prits no mercy viii be shown them.
Where the statue of the great king
once stood, there may be seen today a
life size model of the Douglas Patent
Closet. Bath disclaims all knowledge
OF the change but thinks the public is
paying respect to perfection.
