EmroB Holomua: In yonr issue of yesterday yon report rae as having, at the mass 1 meetiug on Suaday, invited the Portugnese to take up arms against the Chinese and Jap anese!! The report is as erroneous as it is absnrd! What I did say was in regard to further Asiatic imraigration whieh is a very ditfereut thing. M. A. Gonsalves. Honolulu, H. I., Feb. ‘20,1894. £Officially reported Mr. Gonsalves said; “Tiiey (the Portuguese) are threateued with the Chinese and Japauese iraiuigration. Both races are equally dist istefal to ns * * If it is necessary to carry a rifle to stop the Asiatic immigration he hoped that there was not a mnn there who woukl Ternse: wircr -■. L Asiatics, Mr. Gonsilves, if the Chinese and Japauo.se are not? Words spoken, often bring sorrow to the speaker, when priuted. Ed. H.]
