Der Of the party of loyal supporters
# the first provisional president of
p the infant republic? Is the leader of
large portion Of China's 100000 900,
/ termed by many as an Impractical
dreamer" still refugee in Japan,
with a big price set en- his head by
President Yuan Shih-Kai. or has he
made gCcd his escape from Japan to
.he protecting arms of the British
government as was reported by one
cf the members of the Young China
party, while in this city last Thurs
day? ...
These questions are stirring the Chi
nese community of Honolulu today,
a large number being Of the osinion
that DIR. Sun was very recent visitor
at this port and some even going so
far as to state positively that he was
a passenger in the Tenyo Maru.
''Dr. Sun Vat Sen was on beard the
Tenyo," stated prominent member
Of the Young China party, for many
years a resident of Honolulu, yester-
day. Il did not see him personally
but saw the other members of the
party, including General Wong Hing,
and / have every reason to trust the
veracity CT their statements to me.
DIR. Sun is nrt in England at the pres
ent time. although | am of the opin.
ion that he intends seeking the protec-
tion of the British government just as
soon as his work in the United States
is accomplished. .. =."...H. ..
The other members of the party,
all fugitives with a big price set on
their heads, are taking the best OF
care or DR.. Sun and are shielding him
as much as possible from the possi-.
bility OF a. revelation of his Identity
Thus far they have been very success.
full and II is very probable that their
success will continue Throughout their
voyage.
However, after reaching the main
land the greatest precautions will be
necessary as there are a great many
of the followers of President Yuan
Shih-kai in the United States who
would consider ii an honor to dis.
patch DIR. Sun to the other world Not
only would they have the honor in
view. but the figure set upon his head
would make a number Of men indie
pendently wealthy. ..@.. ."
DR.. Sun and his followers are hound
fer the United States on a mission
ary cause. They are after money for
one thing, as money is very necessary
in carrying On the programmed fight
Of the Young China party, Of which
DIR. Sun is the head and which will
eventually prevail in China. Money
and support are what Dr. Sun most
desire at the present Tine Support
he has in large volume but the more
Chinese who can be brought around to
see the light the easier the struggle
will prove. In the United States DR..
Suns followers are legion. This also
is true in China. although they are
afraid to admit their political affili.
ations for fear of death. Nevertheless.
when the time comes to strike there
will be a great surprise in store for
those who are of the opinion that the
Young China party's cause is dead
issue and that DR.. Sun has passed
into the political background.
By the time DR.. Sun completes his
incognito tour of the United States
and reaches England, there is every
reason to believe that he will have Sc.
cured sufficient funds to reopen his
fight for actual liberty for China"
