Annexation of the Sandwich Islands

The annexation of these Islands is highly prob
able. Washington correspondent OF the New
York Herald says;
The State department have received despatch
es from Mr.. Greig, the United States Consul at
Honolulu, to the effect that the King of the Sand
witch Islands had renewed the application to be
annexed TO the United States, either as Territory
or State, and urged an immediate decision on the
ground that England and France were pressing
him TO such extent that unless the United States
interfere promptly, there will be no longer an OPP
portunity of doing Mr. Greig replied that he
was without any instructions the subject, or
power to act; but he ultimately consented TO open
negotiations"
The above statement is confirmed by CORE
spondent of the N. Y. Times, who writes:
My impression in relation to the contemplated
annexation of the Sandwich Islands, fully con-
iirrned, by additional and positive information
The negotiations have been industriousiy pushed
