The ate sine r Mariposa arrived yesterday morniug from Sydney via Honolulu, with tiie following Hawaiian advices. The Hawaiian government has not yet received an answer fr.uu Japan regarding the otter to refer the imnii gration trouble to arbitration. There is uo caauge in the situation here. The Haw aiian Star, comment ing upon the admivsion of a Japanese that in case of trouble all the Japanese iu Honolulu were lu meet at a retnlcivous, says: "If we look up the Ji.-.ianese correspoudence and the articles in the Jap anese press, there are found frequent sllusions to an uprising iu the islands. It is one of the excuses for the presence of the Nauiw-a in our waters. Should such a rising take place it would be very easy for the Japanese guverment to repudiate it if unsuccessful. and it would be very easy to reap advantages ere it sii.cessful. This idea of a probable rising is e, er present in the Japanese mind in the empire, and there is good reason to believe that it is present among Japanese minds here.
