Such is the gist of a startling an
nouncement made here this morning
by the Jill Shimpo, one of the most
reliable of the Japanese newspapers
published in Toxic. The information
has been obtained by the Japanese
paper, from a reliable source in Wash
ington.
According to the Jiji's Washington
special dispatches Viscount Ishii re.
turned to Washington Monday from
a visit to New York and a three days
rest in Atlantic City to reopen nego-
tiations with the proper American au.
thorities on the steel and gold en-
barge questions which are generally
regarded as a backbone of Tshii's mis-
sion. ..
Jill reports that Ishii is now in al.
,"ost a hopeless position as far as
the question of lifting the embargo
on the steel and gold is concerned.
The negotiations are said to. be dead.
licked owing to the firmness of the
stand of the United States govern
ment in upholding the embargo.
There is a big balance in payment
to be made by the American importers
to Japan. but even this was ordered
stopped by the United States, says
Jill. No such payment can be made
on account of the gold embargo.
With apparent failure of Ishii to
have the embargo on American gold.
removed, Japan's commerce with the
United States is tottering and its ruin
is feared. In case that the lifting of
this embargo cannot be secured by
Ishii the barter will be a sole means
of maintenance of trade between ia
pan and the United States. Japan's

.ly associated with Captain Matson for
many years. The day previously an
ether message was received from Mr..
Tenney which stated that the captain
had had second stroke and was not
expected to live.
This mornings cablegram contained
the additional information that the
hour of the funeral was to be sent lat
er, and requesting that all the Matson
ships be notified of Captain Matson's
death.
With the news of Captain MatSon's
death there settled a sudden hush up
on the business streets of Honolulu, SO
closely had his business career been

ests of the islands.
Castle & Cooke closed their doors
Immediately and news of the captains
death wirelessed to ships and planta-
tons in which Captain Matson was in,
terested. For five minutes during the
funeral hour every Matson steamer
will stop its engines in respect to his
memory and all during the funeral
hour work will cease on the Matson
wharves and on the plantations. in
which he is large holder. !"
Developed Islands Trade
Captain Natson's business connec.
tion with the trade and commerce o;
the Hawaiian islands began between
So and 80 years ago while he was the
owner and master of the schooner En-
ma Claudine which 'voyaged between
San Francisco and Hilo. This ship he
afterwards lost at Wainaku.
To Captain Matson is given much
of the credit for the growth and pro-
gress of Hilo which has grown from 4
native village to modern prosperous
town since he began supplying it wita
direct communication and service with
the mainland. -@ .a. -~

TYPHOID OUTBREAK
At POST ASCU|DED
TO WATER SOURCE

Belief that the typhoid outbreak at
Sehefield Barracks came from one oil
the role water sources ef the post,
the Koolau mountains, was expressed
today by Col. William b. Banister,
Medical Corps, who is In close touch
with the cases there.
81 Schofield has two water sources
Aone from the Koolau mountains and
the other from Waianae range. Thus
far. Col. Bsnister says, the cases have
all come from among those drinking
the Koolau supply.
The quartermaster's department Is
engaged in putting q big dam and
tunnel system I'm the mountains. Last
August, according to the officer, a
Japanese man engaged in the work
back in the mountains contracted ty-
phoid. This may be the source OF
the present cases.
!. Col. l.. L. Durfee. post commander,
stated today over the telephone that
CRY precaution has been taken to
guard against the spread of the dis
ease. The post is not excited over
il, as has been reported, he said. Or
ders have been issued to boil all
drinking water, and special care is
being taken against flies which seem
TO be more numerous than usual at
the present time.
Col. r. G. Ebert said today that
there is no cause for alarm. that the
matter Is being handled thoroughly
and that there Is no epidemic at the
post.
Or. ]. s. B. Pratt also assured the
Star-Bulietin that the outbreak is be-
ing handled with all precaution. He
does not class II as an epidemic, he
says. The doctor says that up to
today six positives and nine suspects
have been reported TO him from Scho-
field. There has been but one death
reported, he says.
This death was OF 7-year-old girl,
Dorothy Baker, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Leon Baker. Three cases
lsrere to be brought in on the train
today and taken at once to Queens
hospital in the ambulance. Most of
the cases are among employees at
the post. Only two soldiers are said
to have the disease.
DR.. Pratt says that II the Peterson
lane and Emmeluth lane cases were
excepted, the city would be free of
typhoid. Practically all the present
cases have come from there, and the
original cases there came from Wal
pahu, where big luaua was held.

That every cen that is put into

There is something going on every
