JAPANESE WAR
SHIP AT HAWAII
Bitter Article Appears In Paper Pre-.
dieting War With America
In Near Future.

Honolulu, Aug. 93.-Considerable
attention has been attracted by an ar.
ticle in the English portion of the
Japanese Daily Chronicle Of this city,
urging the Toxic Government to sta
tion warship permanently In Ha.
waiian waters to protect the rights OF
the many Japanese here. The paper
says that If there is ever a war be-
tween Japan and America Hawaii will
be the cause Of 1t and that the Japa.
nese here are Ill treated and insulted
1t says:
More oppression and more insults.
When it reaches the utmost point
there will be a collision between the
two races and 1t may lead to a dis
turbance Of the peace of both nations.
We believe that it is very important
for our Government to follow the ex.
ample of Great Britain and he United
States, to dispatch war vessels to the
foreign ports where most of her sub.
lects reside and protect any rights or
interests which they have by treaty.
Especially in the countries like Ha-
wall, where the white people treat
the Nipponese with insolence and
where this is getting worse every day,
the Government should keep war
vessel continually, so 1t may attract
the attention of these ignorant, dis.
courteous and impolite people of
Hawaii"
The article has been repudiated by
the other Japanese press.
