OLD GLORY RAULED DOWN.

Order of Commissioners Blount Rather
Surprises the Anne exationists.
SAN FRANCISCO, April l4-The ncws
from Honolulu says that the American
flag that has floated over the government
buildings since the protectorate was de-
clared by Minister Stevens was hauled
down on April 1. Mr.. Blount on April 8
had conference with the provisional lead
ers, at which he assured them that neither
Japan nor any other power would be per-
mitted to land troops to menace the gov
ernment. Since then there has been con-
siderable excitement, but nothing has oc-
Cured to cause disturbance The pro-
visional troops are amply sufficient to
guard against any attempts of the Ha-
waiians to upset the government. Com
missioner Blount ordered the flag hauled
down. Fhis has paralyzed the annexa-
tionists.
