Chicago, July 13.—A special to the
Timcs-llcrald from Washington says:
"There is serious dansjcr of diplomatic
friction between the United States and
Japan over Hawaii. AltKough tho
reply which Jap;m has made to Secre-
tary Sherman's note concerning the
intentions of this government has
been received, the state depiirtinent
holds it in secrecy. It. is known, how-
ever, that the reply is not as amiable
as had been hoped for.
"The reply of the Japanese govern-
ment is of such tone and there are
such suspicious movements of certain
Japanese warships that the adminis-
tration is afraid Japan may be medi-
tating some coup de force in Honolulu.
It is understood that in their reply the
Japanese still contend, that they have
equal rights with the United States in
Hawaii, and that the attempt of tho
United States to annex tho islands
without consultation with Japan is a
breach of pood faith.
•'One thing is certain, nnd that is
that no matter which way the diplo-
matic negotiations turn the adminis-
tration does not propose to be caught
napping. If the Japanese make a
show of force at Honolulu, with or
without an announced intention of de-
manding that tho Hawaiian govern-
ment comply with the demands for
reparation, which were submitted
some time ago, this government will
do the same thing. No one need
be surprised if the warships of
the United States and of Japan frown
on one another in Honolulu within
the next two weeks. War is not ex-
pected'by any member of the Wash-
ington government familiar with the
facts, but it fs admitted that mobiliza-
tion of naval craft at Honolulu would
be suHicient to produce a hazardous
situation. Already there is a good
deal of animosity toward the United
States on the part of tho Japan naval
officers and an overt act on their rart
might precipitate a great deal of
trouble.
"During the last ten days the Navy
departmant has made special prepara-
tions of a quiet sort for mobilization
of our naval forces on the Pacific at
Honolulu should the turn of diplomacy
make such action necessary. •'
