Scon views appear to have been not long ago entertained by Japan, but its present severe complications with Russis and embarrasements with Kores and Formosa have latterly led list
Government to confine ile attention to affairs Bearer home. Much uneasiness is still falt on account of this large Japanese population in Ha wali, comprizing a larger number of males thin any other nationality hers, the native Hawaiians not excapted. Such an element might prove, formidable, if well organized, against tho Coveromant, considering the well-proved poli is ad military ability of the Japanese. No present apprehensions, however, of any such troubla appear to be called for.
