MEN TO EXPLAIN
CAUSE OF WAR

Mr. Minekishi, Commissioner of FL
nance for Japan, to the st. Louis ex-
position, Sakurai, Collector of Customs
at Kobe, and Shugio another st. Louis
Fair Commissioner, who are passengers
to the coast on the steamship Doric,
We're entertained by a number of Ho-
noluIu japanese at club house on
Vineyard street last evening.
During the evening Mr.. Minekishi
was interviewed by an Advertiser re-
porter Like the other officials he was
much elated over the reports the party
had received here of Japan's successes
in the war and stated that enthusiasm
ran high on the war question all over
Japan. Every man, woman, and child,
in Japan, he said, believes that Japan
is doing the only proper thing in fight
ing the Russians and by this time
must be in a great state of enthusiasm
over the early victories.
Mr.. Minekishi stated that in few
weeks prominent Japanese will be sent
out from their home countries to the
United States, Great Britain, and 9TH
er powers that are friendly to the Jap
anese to explain why Japan had en-
tered into the conflict and that these
men would clear up much of the mis-
understanding regarding the situation.

and almost wholly in the daytime,
and the police knowing nothing about
it is most remarkable state of
things. Robbery after robbery occur

the usual hue and cry, but the burglar,
with his wagon piled UP with marble
topped tables and pier glasses, publicly

how he could sell set of silverware
or a bedroom suite for a couple OF dol
lars; people bought right and left.

FARMS IN MOROCCO.

To American eyes a farm in Morocco
is hardly to be distinguished from the
surrounding country. One sees no
barns. nor granaries, nor scarcely any
sign of cultivated fields nor fence lines
to define where the farm begins or
ends. The Moorish farmhouse looks
a series of crumbling walls, not con-
nected; but in different sections of the
tumbledown pile are three or four
small, narrow rooms with no windows
and a poor apology for door. This
is the prevalent style of dwelling
throughout the country, with the ex-
ception of a few out-of-town residences
of the rich and powerful. For even
if a farmer should possess any wealth
he must hide all evidences of it lest
he attract the rapacious eyes of gov
ernmental authorities. Even the lit
tie harvests the farmers have to hide
away in pits to screen them from the
/ jealous and greedy eyes of the tax
gatherer. The farm implements are
, patriarchaI in their simplicity; few
/. boughs tied together, weighted with
heavy stone, and drawn by a mule
/ or a camel, constitute the farmers
only harrow. His pillow is but a fork
ed stick. Yet, though the soil is only
scratched with such poor implements,
it is So fertile that it yields abundant
harvest in proportion to the small
amount of labor expended.-Outing.

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-02-19

One of the earliest war telegra ms
announced the cutting of the canle
between Korea and Japan by the Jap
anese This paper doubted the STORY
inasmuch as the latter credited the
Japanese on the peninsula with the IN
tent of depriving themselves of all
communication with their base OF sup
plies. In the Advertiser the news was
interpreted as meaning the severance
of the cable between Korea and the
Chinese mainland. Since then mes
sages have been passing freely between
Chemuipo. Masampho and Toxic, but
none at all have crossed the yellow
Sea, bearing out the propriety of this
papers correction.
