station will be held specially ready
to respond to any calls

ed from Waimanalo, leaving every
thing quiet, following the riot of yes
terday the Japanese having returned
to their labors in the field
This evening, however, the Sheriff
will return to the scene of the recent
excitement, for he is of the opinion
that the difficulty is not yet settled
and anticipates some unlawful demon
stration on the part of the laborers
tonight.
He left ten men armed with rifles
to protect the plantation property.
Last night the Sheriff and fourteen
armed men divided into two watches
and patrolled the plantation head
quarters.

These photographs will be used by
the Attorney-Generals department in
the prosecution of the rioters

Sheriff Doyle, some effective pohto-

tions.

demanded the dismissal of a Japanese
