TCK10, April 14th. The attitude taken up by the Japanese Government in the Honolulu affate is said to be that the sclusal to permit the landing of free labourers, who possessed the sum of money legally necessary by Howallan laws, was an Infringement of diplomatic. courtesy. It is expected that iar trombin will be subretited to the sibitration of third Power, but not the United States. The idea that the negotiations will be backed by force is a delusion, as there is no necessity for any such action.

The erection of a Hospital for women and chlidren of all ranks, clauses, creeds, and races managed on the same lines as the Government Civli Hospital and an Insiliute attached for the iraising of naries will, I think, appeal to Her Majesty's sympathies Inasmuch as they will tend to allevízie the sufferings of all unbe jects of whatever nationally resident to this her far distant Colony.
