PRESIDENT DESIRES AN EARLY

cRETLY BEING FORMED
IN HAWAII.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Japa-
nese war cloud is again upon the hori-
zon. 1t has appeared very large and
plain in two important places-at the
capitol, where the Senate has been
asked by Secretary OF War Taft to
spend more than half million dol
lars for the defenses Of the Hawaiian
Islands, and at the White House,
where the president and members of
the California Congressional delega-
ton held a long conference last night,
which did not adjourn until the presi.
dent and the Secretary of State had
attempted to place paddock upon the
mouth of every gentleman present.
The upset of the sensational whis-
pers at the capitol will be that the
harbors of our Hawaiian possession
will be strongly fortified against the
possible attacks of foreign foe, Jap
anese understood; and the result OF
the White House powwow was that
the president Of the San Francisco
board of education and the superin-
tendent of schools were summoned
hot-foot to Washington, by telegraph.
Organizing Military Companies.
1t is rumored at the capitol that Sec.
rotary Taft has received word that the
japanese of the Hawaiian Islands are
organizing military companies in Sc.
cret, the leaders in the mysterious or.
ganization being veterans who saw
service in the Russo.Japanese war.
Their purpose is said TO be to build up
powerful anti-American army which
will attempt an overthrow of the gov
eminent, simultaneously with the ex-
pected attack OF their countrymer
from the sea. The fact that the Jap.
anese navy Is now being rapidly
strengthened, 1t is said, lends color to
the rumor that Nippon is preparing
for trouble with a foreign power. All
these stories are OF course merely
speculative, but baseless as they may
be there can be no denial that the adj
ministration is good deal worried by
the development of the past few days.
In this connection, attention is call
ed to what is regarded as significant
remark made by'viscount Hayashi, the
Japanese Foreign Minister, in the
house of representatives of the empire
the other day. After reviewing the
San Francisco school situation. and
the status of the test case, now in lie
courts, he said:
J! baT the event of an unravorable de.
cision. the anti-Japanese movement in.
California will be considered to repre-.
sent the opinion of the whole United
States. which would require diplo.
matte adjustment"
