WASHINGTON, July 19--I have positive
and undeniable information, from the high
est sources at Honolulu, to the effect that
a Treaty is about concluded between Mr..
Gregg, the United States Commissioners,
and the Government of the Islands for
their annexation to the United States forth
with. The only unsettled question in rela-
ton to the annexation is, whether the Is
lands shall come in as a Territory or State.
Mr.. Gregg insists on the former. The
Administration here at Washington is per-
fectly advised as to the position of the ne
gotiations.
This is kept a profound secret at Honolu-
lu to all out of the court circle. The King
and Privy Council have the constitutional
power to make the treaty, and in fear of
fllibustering or something else in the way
of foreign invasion, they are exercising it.
The native population is undoubtedly OPP
posed to annexation, while the majority OF
the foreign residents desire it.-N. y. Tri6.
