Senor Paul declared that the situa

Manila, June 14.— A portion o f the
Second company o f native constabula
ry, stationed at Davao, in the island ol'
Mindanao, in the Southern part o f tbe
Philippine archipelago, mutinied on the
night o f June 6 and attacked the com
pany quarters, which they captured
after wounding one o f the native offl
tra. A fte r a fight on the follow ing
day, which lasted three hours, and in
which an American named Libbey \
killed and four others wounded, the
mutineers took to the mountains upon
the approach o f a company o f constab
ulary stationed at Mapi, which hurried
to the relie f o f the besieged Americans
and loval natives.
W ith th receipt o f tbe news o f the
mutiny today came also word that de
tachments o f the Twenty-third infantry
have reached Davao and quickly suc
ceeded in restoring order. Several col
umns o f troops were immediately dis
patched in pursuit o f the mutineers.
I t is believed here that the mutiny
was o f purely local character, resulting
from differences over food supplies or
tbe care o f the women o f the fam ilies
o f the constabulary. I t is thought to
be confined to members o f one company
at Davao, aand the fact that a neigh
boring company, also composed o f na
tives, hurried to the relie f o f the be
sieged governor and the few Americans
at the place is cited as proof o f this.

Honolulu, June 12.— Evidence o f
what the authorities claim is a concert
ed movement on the part o f Japanese
in the Hawaiian group to control the
sugar industry and thus dominate th *
internal affairs o f the islands through
their number and power, was disclosed
today when the office o f the " J i j i , " a
Japanese newspaper o f Honolulu, acd
the offices o f the Japanese Higher
W age association were entered by the
officers armed with search warrants,
and letters, reports and other docu
ments were seized.

papers, the application fo r a w rit o f
habeas corpus, entered in behalf o f
Makino, Negro and Soga, the# three al
leged leaders o f tbe sugar plantation
strikers who were taken into custody
yesterday, was rejected by the court.
I t is said by the authorities that the-
papers found indicate that a conspiracy
o f a widespread nature has been
formed • among the Japanese o f the-
islands to wrest control o f affairs from
the white residents, and conduct the-
intemal government in their own in
terests.
Tbs determination to control is re
iterated again and again in these docu
ments.
An appeal to all Japanese, in
the name o f their native country, to-
aid in this movement, is said to be.con-
veyed in the letters.
The authorities are preparing com
plete translations o f all the papers
seized and it is said that they w ill bo
used as evidence in support o f many
charges o f conspiracy, which it is de
clared w ill result from the disclosures.
A second petition has been filed by
the attorneys fo r the prisoners, but has
not been acted upon by the court. ^
The strike o f the Japanese plantation
hands has been in progress for over s
month, and is tbe most extensive walk
out ever known on the islands.
Be
tween 6,000 and 8,000 Japanese are in
