noon the military and police and Mkt
Saito the Japanese consul general, +.
klamp of II. Hackfeld and Company
and several other people departed for
Lahaina. Mkt Saito had been wired
for by the Japanese to come immediate
ly to Lahaina to look after the trouble,
as one Japanese had been killed his
dispatch stated, by plantation men. f.
Klamp went to represent Hackfeld and,
Company and confer with the strikers.
The I<inau reached Lahaint bout 1890
o'clock last night SO far as the Of
icers of the steamer could see, every
thing appeared to be perfectly quiet.
Few people were at the wharf to meet
the reinforcements from Honolulu. The
crowd left the steamer taking ashore
with them, the field gun that had been
brought from Honolulu. The rein
forcements landed at II o'clock and
went to the court house. 1t had been
reported by those on the tug Leslie
Baldwin in the afternoon that the riot
ing i'm Lahaina was so serious that the
residents of Lahaina had barricaded
themselves i'm the court house and were
surrounded by the strikers. This was
incorrect and evidently originated from
the fact that about 400 strikers were
grouped about the court house on Sat
urday night but made no demonstration
at that place. Ey the time that Ho-
nolulu officers reached Lahaina, the
Japanese strikers had gone to their
own camps and everything was peace
able so far as could be seen i'm that
town.
According to a special wireless mes
sage sent shortly after the party had
arrived the situation was quiet. a
