Washington, Feb 1l.-Special-
When President Roosevelt wrote his
long letter to Mr.. William Dudley
Ffoulke explicitly denying that any
federal appointment had been made
with reference TO its probable effect
upon the coming campaign for the
presidency, he stirred up the one
man in the United States senate
who is always willing to accept a
challenge from the white house. The
letter was published in the news
papers of Monday February 10th.
Half an hour after the United States
senate met Senator Foraker was on

ments made in Ohio. The senator

NEWS MAKES HAWAII WONDER

One of the main topics of discussion
in Honolulu today is the cable from
Toxic stating that japanese warships
are being hurriedly loaded with coal
and supplies and that Japan lis un-
doubtedly preparing for war
Such a statement from the AssOciat,
ed Press, a conservative and accurate
news agency, is full Of possible signi-
ficance to these islands. THE next
few days will be full of the deepest
possible influence on our island destiny
for years TO come" said a Honolulu
man who is about as familiar with the
situation here and in Washington as
anyone in the islands.
AS China is without a navy, the rush
Of preparations in the Japanese navy is
regarded as scarcely to be considered
as for CHINA alone. And if it is meant
for the United States, the Japanese
fleet might soon be on its way here.
Here is the way the matter is figured
out in well informed military and ma
val circles:

INDICTED
FEDERAL GRAND JURY REPORTS
INDICTMENTS BUT KEEPS 81
LENT ABOUT IWILEI

Twenty-four indictments were re-
turned by the Federal grand jury this
morning, in report to United States
Judge Dole. The Illicit still business
leads in the number of cases, but there
are several counterfeit and other cases.
1t is understood that the jury made
quite an investigation of lwilei and
discussed Iwilei conditions a good deal,
but nothing was said about the matter
in it's report. Some changes and re-
forms, however, will result in the Iwi-
lei district from the work of che jury.
Jacob Rosenberg, the alleged water
front Fagin, who got off on trials from
last term indictments, is accused
again.
The list of indictments is as follows:
Moses Kolli, embezzlement money
order funds.
Martin Keogh, smuggling.
Joshua d. Kold, embezzlement mon
ey order funds.
Jacob Rosenberg, receiving stolen
goods.
Ong Too Wan, possession of counter
felt coin.
Paia, unlawfully carrying on whole
sale and retail liquor dealer.
John Kakae, adultery.
Su Cho Hun, making and having in
possession counterfeit coins.
Kim Key WOg, having in possession
counterfeit coin.
All Fa, Illicit distilling.

States, the time to begin is when the
American fleet is on the last part of
It's way to Magdalena Bay. That is
now. The American fleet is now at its
worst. The vessels have dirty bottoms
and the supplies and coal are about
as low as they ever will be. Give the
fleet a bit more time and it will be
cleaAed, re-supplied and at its full
strength.
'If there is to be war, Japan will
strike her first blow at Hawaii. Using
Hawaii as a base she can attack the
entire Pacific coast of America, choos-
ing her own place. So if there is to
be a war, Hawaii may expect to be
quickly occupied"
This is the sort of dope" the strate-
gists in town were giving out today.
1t is all the speculation caused by
Japan's preparations.
As far as local conditions are con
cerned no serious difficulty is antici-
pated. There Is more than ample force
here to preserve the peace should it be
threatened

1t is evident that Japan Is deter
mined to take the issue with China
whenever possible. The Tatsu Maru
undoubtedly had arms for rebels who
are fighting against the government
of China, though they were consign-
ed to Chinese firms in Macao they
were intended for the revolutionaries
lin southern China. There is no sale
for rifles of a military pattern as
these were except to arm an army
and whatever Japan may claim China
was well within her rights when she
seized the cargo.
There is good reason to expect Sc
rious trouble before this matter is
settled.
Should a war break out between the
United States and Japan it would
not be a localized one in the view
of the "Gaulois," the noted French
paper, which says: There would be
reason to fear a general war, since
England would judge it necessary for
her interests to take part in a quar-
rel which might settle the mastery
of the Pacific. And Germany would
probably help the >United States.
What, then, would France do? These
are reasons which are sufficient to
reaNure us: England, at present,
has no desire to come into conflict
with Germany, and Germany has ev-
cry interest in gaining time and inn
proving her navy.
