Hawaii's Keply to Japan's In
quiries too Indefinite.
EXCLUSION MUST HE EXPLAINED
Minister Slilmamura IJoc.lnvpH Ills Got
nriiincut Is Determined to Mnlu
t u in Her T'osltlon.
San Fka.ncisco, June 3. The steamer
JInriposa arrived from Sydney via.IIono
lnlu thiB morning with advices from the
Hawaiian Capital supplemental to those
brought by the steamer Peru on Mon
day lust.
On May L'4th, the day the Peru left
the island, the government announces
that its answer 1o Japan's demands had
ien sent to tho Japanese minister.
Minister Shimamura is not at all
satisfied with the reply made by the
Hawaiian foreign office. In an inter
view upon the subject, he said:
"I do not consider what 1 have re
ceived to be an answer to my request for
particulars, and shall make another at
tempt to secure one. Japan asks noth
ing unreasonable. &ne wants justice
and fairness in the matter; nothing else.
It elm does not get it, well, 1 do not
know what will follow.
"The action of the Hawaiian govern
ment in refusing a landing to people
who, Japan believed, niter an investiga
tion made before their departure, were
eligible to land, was a gross violation of
the treaty. Now I have asked for an
explanation, and for reasons for this
government's actions, and I am told
that the position taken by the Hawaiian
government is that the immigration laws
are a reasonable exercise of the police
powers of the state, and that the ad
ministration had impartially enforced
them. My government tells me to got a
reasonable excuse for the action taken.
I cannot find it in this. 1 do not think
that my government is acting arbitrarily
in this matter which involves the honor
of the nation.
"The United States haa been advised
of the atl'air and probably knows the
status of the ease as well as we do, and
if the government at Washington be
lieves that the position taken by Japan
is right according to international law,
there will be no interference. On the
other hand, if our position is arbitrary
any nation may interfere.
"Japan understands that there is a
tacit underdtanding that the United
States has interests here. That while
not assuming the proportions ot a pro
tectorate she stands in the nature of a
godmother to the island republic, but
the officials ot the United States govern
ment are too well versed in the custom
of dealing with questions of interna
tional law to say that Japan is wrong
when she is right, or that Hawaii is
right if she is wiong.
"My instructions in the matter are
plain. If I cannot get a reasonable
answer to my request I may go home,
and perhaps some one else will have
better success. If I withdraw, you
know what follows. I hope it will not
reach that point."

assurance as to the nature of his view6.
Mr Calhoun is for peace, if peace be
possible, and if need be, for war. He
will recommend that war here be Etopped
at all hazards. He will urge in supnort of
his position the conditions of Americans
and American interests here, and with
more force tho frightful condition of the
country folk, which he knows from per
sonal experience:
Mr C.ilhoun will see President McKin-
ley, and with whatever weight he has,
the president's personal representative
will suggest that Spain be told that war
on women and children in the island of
Cuba must cease.
The liuiz investigation is closed. As
predicted, the matter is exactly where
General Lee left it in February last. At
the conclusion of the investigation Dr.
Congostos prepared a report which he
requested General Lee to sign. In it he
Baid that Ruiz had been treated as a
guest of the nation ; had a mattress and
pillows, good food, the attention of
nurses and all, in fact, any man could
wish. This, in reality, was based upon
evidence which General Lee declined to
consider. So General Lee declined pos
itively to sign the report which Dr. Con
gostos submitted.
Mr. Calhoun will support General Lee
absolutely.
The war for food has begun in Havana.
In Anton IMeio street, on May 31, four
small shopkeeners were murdered most
brutally, one being decapitated and the
skulls of the others crushed with a ham
mer. The money was left in the tillB.
The crimes were committed for food.
A captain, lieutenant and 58 soldiers
have been brou ht here as prisoners from
Campo Florida, and condemned to be
Bhot, because they sold arms and mu
tations to the Cubans.
It is now said that the selling of cart
ridges to the insurgents is common in
Hayana province, as the soldiers lack
money for food.
General Weyler has aunounced that
his reconcentrtition decrees apply to
Santiago de Cuba and Puerto Principe.
A distinguished American soldier on
hearing this called attention to tho fact
that while the four western provinces
were declared prcitied. General Weyler
kept five times as many troops in them
as he did in the two eastern provinces
which were admitted to be in the 'hands
of rebels.

mritltANT IS IlKKAKING IIOWX,
Hope Seem nt I.aat to Iluvn Deserted
the Murderer's Hrrast.
Sax Fiiascisco, June 3. Theodore
Dnrrant seems to lie be breaking down.
A member of the death watch was seat
ed at his side last night looking down
upon him as he tossed and tumbled in
restless sleep. The warden was at once
notified of the change in Din-rant's
demeanor. Orders were issued to in
crease the death watch and to maintain
the vigil with greater care than before.
Captain Edgar commanded a guard
be stationed every minute of the day
and night in the cage with the condemn
ed man. Whatever Durrant may do,
the eyes of a guard will be upon him.
Three men will watch with him until he
dies on the gallows.
Durrant's father carried to the con
demned man yesterday the news that
the United States district court had de-
tied the writ of habeas corpus and that
the next fight for lif6 must be made at
Washington before the supreme court.
A special messenger will hurry across
the continent, but he cannot reach
Washington before next Wednesday.
He will have the greatest good fortune
if he receives an audience from the su
preme court that day. It is probable
that a hearing will not be granted before
Thursday of next week, and on tho fol
lowing day Durrant must die, if the
national tribunal does not exert its
authority.
The elder Durrant wept as he told his
son the story, but he bade the condemn
ed man to be of good cheer and not to
lose heart until the last hope is gone.
If the journey iB made without accident
a return staying the execution may be
served by telegraph on the warden.
The son said be would be'brave. As he
spoke to his father a wire screen and
wooden bars separated them.
