From Honolulu.

The steamer Oceanic brings news
from Honolulu Of the appointment OF
William d. Alexander as special COM
missioner to Washington, to assist in
the negotiations for annexation. He
will leave Honolulu about the 9th
instant. Minister Blount has conclud.
ed his report on Hawaiian affairs, and
it was stated he would probably for
ward it to Washington by the steamer
Australia, which was to sail July ~,
1t is reported he has given the pro-
yisional government 10 understand that
nothing will be done until he sends
back his report, which may be acted
upon during the extra session of Con-
gress, in August. The opinion prevails
in official circles that after receiving
Minister Blount's report, President
Cleveland will resubmit ex-President
Harrison's treaty of annexation, or
some modification thereon, to the Sen.
ate. The treaty previously mentioned
which was to be submitted to the United
States government will be withheld,
awaiting the action on Minister Blount's
report. The latest reports concerning
the document are that it is straight
treaty of annexation, without condi'
tons, in which no reference occurs to
the labor question, finances or the
present system of land-holdings.

A French cabinet council was held
Yesterday at Marly-le-Roi, where Presl-
dent Carnot is temporarily sojourning.
NJ. Carnot presided over the delibera-
tons, which were entirely devoted to
the Siamese question. After the coun-
Gil rose a semi official statement of the
proceedings was issued. This state
ment was that in conforming with the
unanimous vote of the Senate and the
Chamber of Deputies, the government
had taken such measures to safeguard
the interests and dignity of France as
were considered from Slams reply to
the French ultimatum to have been
rendered necessary. The Chinese

minister Of foreign affairs, and explain

The Siamese minister in Paris has not

however, he will go to Lisbon or Mad

The Siamese troubles were discussed

The Chinese government has receiy-
ed the news of frances territorial de.
mands upon Siam with amazement and
indignation. That France should lay
claim to country up to the twenty

sion upon the rights of China, for at
