the war department that no order has.
oeen issued for the dispatch of addi-
t1Onal troops to the Hawaiian islands
nor is any such order contemplated:
The permanent garrison in Hawaii
consists of four companies of regular!
troops. Two of these were last sum-
mer ordered to the mainland for tar!
get practice, the facilities for which
were lacking in the islands. They
have now returned to their posts and
no immediate changes in the force or
additions thereto are contemplated.
Why Statement Was Issued.
The statement was given out in
view of the following alleged dispatch
from Honolulu printed by the San
Francisco Examiner:
''The officers of the transport Thomas
have announced that two regiments
are to be rushed Immediately to
Hawaii in anticipation of trouble with
the Japanese. They absolutely refuse
to give out any of the details bearing
on the call for troops or the reason
why the government feels that the
soldiers of the United States army are
necessary in the island, which is at
this time Overrun by the little brown
men. 1t is understood that the mikado
was extremely anxious to secure pos

miles from Honolulu and could be used
as an excellent naval base against the
United States by any foreign power.

cient depth to accommodate a large

High Schools Open to Japanese.

Germany Interested in Situation.
Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE relations be-
tween the United States and Japan ex-
cite extraordinary interest both in
government and diplomatic circles
here. Emperor William discussed the
question with several persons recently
and is thoroughly informed regarding
President Roosevelt's personal views
on the subject. It is believed that
Russia's more reso1ute attitude
against Japan's requests for trade and
colonization rights on the Amur river
and in Siberia and for fishery priv
ileges on the adjacent Russian coasts
is partly due to the discussion of the
California school question between the
United States and Japan. The Rus
sian foreign Office has been subjected
| to steady diplomatic pressure on the
part of Japan in the effort to obtain
| these far-reaching rights. The result
| is that the idea has been created at
the Russian foreign Office that Japan
| might make her ambitions the occa-
sion for renewal of the war with
Russia. This idea pervaded the con-
versations which the Russian foreign
| minister, M. Iswolsky, had with the
| government officials and others whom
! he met here on the occasion of his
visit to Berlin six weeks ago. M.
| Iswolsky met many prominent people
here and talked with extraordinary
| freedom.
