Honolulu to Have Better Foreign Mail Facilities. PROPOSED PACIFIC CABLES Correspondence of The Evening Star. HONOLULU, June 20, 1997. Although we average six steamers a month each way, it has been eighteen 4. since we could send a mail, af@ a similar interval will take place next month, five boats to San Francisco being crowded into twelve days. After July this will not again occur, owing to a third boat being put cn the Vancouver line, and their running time being altered so as exactly to alternate with Spreckels’ Oceanic line between 5S: ney and San Francisco, so as to give us mails each way every fourteen days at the farthest. Our favorite old standby of twenty-one years’ service, the Australia, also runs between Honolulu and San Fran- cisco every four weeks, about one week be- fore or after the Sydney ships. Then we have besides two steamers a month each way calling here between Yokohama and San Francisco. The schedule shows that after July there will be no interval of over eight or nine days without mails bo: .ways. There will be quite regularly four “steamers a month hence to San Francisco, and two a month each to Vancouver, S: ney and Yokohama. Of course, this is only a beginning of the immense commerce of the Pacific, of which Honolulu is to become the central meeting point in a few years. For the coal supply of these steamers, an average of three large sailing ships a month bring coal from Newcastle, in Aus- tralia. Some twelve cargoes of coal in ad- dition come annually for local consumption on railways, pumping stations, etc. To ac- commodate this rapidly increasing traffic, enlargement of our harbor is much needed. One of the two new ships proposed is now nearly finished excavating by dredger in the coral reef to a depth of thirty lengtn 400 and breadth 120. This will a commodate at once two first-class steam- ers, which will suffice for immediate The land filled in by the dredging w some three acres for piling coal or lumber. Whenever Honolulu harbor becomes too strait for the traffic, the neighboring ca- pacious Pearl harbor will be available. Relations With Jap: We are happily without anything of very serious importance to report. My last of May 27 stated the substance of the very important request of the Japanese minister for reversal of the course of this govern- ment in excluding Japanese immigrants and for considering the payment of indem- nity for the injury done in seading back to Japan 1,125 persons. The firm dental made by this government on May 24 was also reported, as well as the substance of a published interview of a press repre- sentative with Minister Shimamura imme- diately after he had received Minister Coop- er’s letter of refusal. In_ that interview Mr. Shimamura expressed himself more warmly than discreetly. It appears that his excellency had just been entertained at the hospitable reception of H. B. M. com- missioner on Victoria's birthday, and was consequently more communicative than diplomatic. However, “in vino verita: and the minister no doubt disclesed the disposition and intentions of his govern- ment according to his latest udvices. Evi- dently that intention then was to enforce upon us their construction of treaty stip- ulations, and to compel Hawaii to submit to an unlimited Japanese immigration, a5 well as to facilitate the naturalization of such immigrants and their endowment with the voting franchise. Our government fully understands such a policy to be fatal to our independence of Japan. It would end, in from three to five years, in cur falling under the political con- trol of the overwhelming numbers of Jap- anese poured in upon us from their teem- ing population. What is equally important, our government has a well-considered con- viction of the legality and equity of the measures they have taken to check and limit this immigration, and which they de- terminedly enforced in March and April t. As yet, however, owing to the pe- culiar style of proceeding of the Japanese representative, Minister Cooper has found no suitable opportunity of setting forth the | take any step of a sp grounds of the action taken and the legal justification thereof consistently with the treaty stipulations. The minister's first communication after the arrival of the warship niwa, with the Special Cormissioner Akiyama, was not-in the proper form of first asking an explanation of the reasons of the course taken in returning the immigrants, in al- leged violation of treaty stipulations with Japan. He assumed himself to be thor- cughly informed of all the circumstances ard conditions of the case, and therefore in a position to cali for immediate redress and a total change of policy. His attitude was a peremptory and discourteous 01 emphasized by the arrival of the warshi: His Ictter was not at all such as would be addressed to any government which it was intended to treat with proper respect. Had Hawaii no ground for trusting to the sup- pert- of some great power to secure fair treatment, such a peremptory and virtually menacing attitude would perhaps be best adapted to secure a subrrissive compliance with demands. Not being, however, in such an unsupported position, the assert- iveness of the Japanese attitude was lost upon our side, and a reply was made which yielded nothing, but pointed out serious errors in the assumptions made by Mr. Shimamura. It may well be presumed that the significant presence of Admiral Beards- lee with the United States cruiser Phila- delphia was much more than an offset to the menace of the Naniwa, with her equal- ly powerful battery. Minister Cooper's reply, as before Poe was delivered on the 24th of May. A da: or two later, the Japanese minister called upon him, requesting an interview in com- pany with Commissioner Akiyama. This interview was to be for the purpose of ob- taining an elucidation of various points in Mr. Cooper’s letter. Such interview was ccrdially assented to, upon condition that the discussion should be entirely confined to points contained in the letter. Mr. Coop- er expressly declined entering upon any discussion of the general question, or giv- ing explanations thereon other than in writing. The interview was held soon after, and conducted in a courteous manner, al- though both Shimamnra and Akiyama made much effort to transgress the limits set for the discussion and to stray over upon the general subject. No Speedy Conclusion Promised. After these two interviews, 4th of June, Minister Shimamura sent to a, Mr. Cooper a formal letter of seventy- | has conferred with Colonel Z. 8.

Upon any reference, however, to any attention paid by Mr. Sewall to ‘our controversy with Japan, an absolute reii- cence is at once encountered, both in him- self and in our executive. This is so marked as to promote the surmise that he has held much and important conference with our foreign office upon that subject. There is good season, however, to believe that the minister has not yet found occa: ialiy signif It is quite suppos: that, as r enting the United St Mr. Sewall's attitude has served to add confidence to the position taken by our government. Japan Complains of Delay. ‘0 a press interviewer Messrs. Shima- | mura and Akiyama indulged on the 18th in some complaints that Minister Cocper had been extremely tardy in replying to their lengt. ter of the 4th. They think he has had “time enough to write a book. The fact doubtless is that he has beer very much occupied in attending to Mr. Sewall, which fully accounts for his sa ing, as he does, that he has not yet had time to reply to the Japanese minister. And if, as can hardly be otherwise, Mr. Sewall has to take time to form his own views upon the matter at issue, this Is an obvious reason for considerabis delay on to be materially mod- ifled by the opinions of the representative of the United States. Whatever reply is made ts likely to be as conciliatory in tone as practicable. One reason for endeavoring to continue friendly relations with Japan is the necessity to the sugar plantazions of not suddenly breaking off the regular supply thence of contract laborers. Any such change in the source of labor reeds to be gradually made. It was the reckiess importation by the immigration companies of tramp immigrants that was particularly objected to. “~~ , Proposed Japanese Cable. There are various indications that there is now no great expectation of enforcing the Japanese views upon Hawaii. Gre was the return home on the 13th of Y. Ishigawa, editor of the Ohno Shimbun, a leading Tokyo paper. He came on the Naniwa, to write up the difficulty, but now pronounces the whole affair to be of such a trivial character that it is not worth his while to wait here for its de- rouemeut. This is probably a sensible view for a good newspaper man to take, seeing that Uncle Sam is getting a finger into the ple. Mr. Ishigawa is, however, deeply interested in a Japanese project for a cable from Japan to Hawaii to connect with one to be landed here from Califor- nia. On the Peru, in which he sailed, was Mr. Matsumote, who is actively pushing italists are taking strong interest. He who had a bill before Congress last year for a cable to Hawaii.

Prospects for Early Rapid Transit Fa. cilities Still Under Discassion—Pa- triotic Services Held Yesterday, The fourdation fer a new engine has been completed in the power hous 2 of the Capital Railway Company at Anacostia, and it is expected that the eng will ar- rive within a day or two. It is said that President Randle has secured the services of an experienced electric railroad man, and that the letter wil! take charge of the road this week. There is reason to believe, also, that the engine can be put in position for runuing, and a cross-over made at the south end of the Navy Yard bri lige by the close of the present week, in which event the cars can be operated between Congress Heights and the bridge by that time, pro- vided no legal obstacles intervene. As to the time when the electric cars will cross the bridge, no date can as yi et be designated. Some days ago the District Commissioners had a large quantity of heavy planking nauled to the vieinity of the bridge, and this, it wes understood, was to be used in making necessary re- pairs to that structure, but Saturday a good deal of this was hauied away, and it Was stated that it had been condemned by the inspector for the District. Meanwhile steps have been taken to con vert Pencote woods at Congress Heights into a pleasure resort, and a number of rustic seats have been placed there.
