approved and executed by G. @.
Wilt, captain U. S. N, commanding
the United States steamer Boston,.
Since tho coming into power OF the
new provisional government matters
have been going on very quietly, the
iawaiians all willingly Gcquiescing in
the desire TO await the decision OF the
United States government. The indica.
tlona to-day, however, arc that there
IS dissension existing amongst tho
members OF tho executive council Of
tho new government and it Is believed
that a request has boen made to the
Hawaiian minister to take full control
pending the decision Of the United
States.
Martial law still exists, and although
thore areno hardahips reported, yet tho
people, both native and foreign, chafe
under tho situation. No arrests what.
ever have boen made and only for tho
continued presence Of armed men in
INC streets tho usual quiotudo prevails.
Inc Boston marines and sailors aro
paraded through tho streets several
tmos daily, but no open adverse com.
mcnt is made 10 their presence.
