of the Makiki district. the fashionable
residential section of this city, are up
in arms against encroachment of their
section by the Japanese, who have ac-

ments and boarding houses on several

are known as camps" and the style
of architecture universally adopted by
the japanese is as cheap and ugly as
possible.
