HONOLULU, June lO.-For the first time
In the history of the Hawaiian islands the
Hawaiian national flag was floated over
the palace on June 2. The formal occupa-
tion of the palace by the provisional gov.
ernment and the raising of the al eni-
blem over it are regarded by the annexa-
tionlsts generally and by many of the ma
tives As final blow TO monarchy. The
building was formally dedicated to it's new
uses on June 15 with little ceremony, in
which troops. government bands and offi-
ciais participated. The provisional gov
ernment, June 3. paid to Clans Spreckels
S95. 900 owed to him. and there is feeling
of relief among the officials that the gov
ernment is no longer under obligations to
him. Spreckeis denies that he was actu-
ated by desire TO emDarrass the govern
