dispatch to the New York Tribune, dated Wash
ington, July 3, has the following items:
have positive and undeniable information
from the highest sources; at Honolulu, to the
effect that q treaty is about concluded between
Mr. Gregg, the United States Commissioner, and
the Government of the Islands, for their annex
alton to the United States forthwith. The only
unsettled question in relation to the annexation
is, whether the Islands shall come in as a Ter
ritory or q State. Mr.. Gregg insists on the
former. The Administration here at Washing
ton is perfectly advised to the position of the
negotiations.
This is kept profound secret at Honolulu to
all out Of the court circle The King and Privy
Council have the constitutional power to make
the treaty, and in fear of flibustering or some
thing else in the way Of foreign invasion, they
are exercising it. The native population is un-
doubtedly opposed to annexation, while the
majority of the foreign residents desire it. a2
