NEW YORK Aue 5. Recent lettf's re ceived In this city from Japan state that a strong aml-AmeriCjn feeling ttill exists in that country snd that Amerlcsrs are being bojcotted on all sides by Japastse. First the Hawallin question stirred up the Ill- feeling , which was afterward hcifcteced by the discussion In the l'nit d State * congress on the tariff when the proposition was ad vanced to tax severely certain Japanese good. The Japanese tcok this as a direct affront and they have not last an opportunity since to belittle Americans and all that per tains to this country James \ . Morse president of the Ameri can Trading ctmpany. who went to Japan tuo months ago In the Interest of the Cramps tnd othr companies here , wrote a week ago that the outlook for American Interests in Japan wzs not encouraging. Mr Morse expected - pe-cted to secure the contract for the building of the laet battleship vrtlch the Japanese government orde-re-d cot tructed. He was about to close the contract nhen negotiations were suddenly stepped and the contract awarded to an English firm within tflentj-- four hours. President Morse Is still in Japan awaiting a subsidence of the apparent antagonism to this countrj He Is hopeful he declares , that the anti-American element will Eon come to Its senses , when it may be possible for American interests to be ad vanced in that country.

Aug 5 The news that Hawaii had virtually excluded the Chinese Is confirmed by Honolulu advice * brought by the Australia. When the annexation proportion was made to the United States one of the prlacipal clauses was that Chi nese immigration must cense. As a start in this direction the Hawaiian government has decided to issue no more Elx-month ' residence permits to Chinese- execute any bonds for contract laborers to arrive. The planters do not fear the labor prob lem la fact , they are already solving it. and that to the detriment of the Japanese. Recently there have developed plans for < -oonlrins ! the American plantation negro in Hawaii to gradually replace the coolies in the cane and rice fields , and on the coffee and cotton plantations. The German ehip H F Glade airi\ed In Honolulu on July 6 with nearly 100 contract laborers. They will supplant the Japanese on the sugar plantations. This crowd ccns'sted ' of 115 laborers , twenty-five women and forty-ieven children. The nationalities are mixed , there being many Poles , Galllclans and Austral ians , as well as Germans. The laborers will be placed on nine different plantations , the contracts showing that the men are to be paid 116 a month the first year ; J17 the pecond and $1S the third. In addstioa to the regular food and lodging given by the plan tations. C\NDA AKTEK 31 E.ICATil \DE. > ? entl n i-peclnl Enioy o CITY OF MEXiCG. Aug Z The Canadian envoy , E.
