(Received June 5, 10.20 a.m.)
TOKIO, June 4.
It is understood that a second Note has been despatched to Washington, requesting the good offices of the Federal Government to prevent a rupture of relations.
One of the things that impress the visitor to Honolulu is the feverish energy displayed by the American Government in rendering that place one of the most impregnable that can be conceived. "It is the Gibraltar of the Pacific," remarked a gentleman just returned to a Sydney interviewer. "Everything that money and science can do in equipping it for military and naval purposes is being done. At Pearl harbor, which can accommodate a great number of vessels, there are huge docks and barracks. In the centre of the island— a high, level, and healthy plateau — an army of 50,000 could camp, and it Is expected to maintain there 30,000 continuously. The military roads there are absolutely perfect. They are macadamised, and covered with! clay and oil." \
