evening, the 18th inst, the Mau
Annexation Club held its fourth
general meeting at the Wailuku
court house. J. w. Kalua, presi
dent, called the gentlemen to order
and requested J. l.. Dumas to take
the chair. (Mr. Dumas stated that
the club had been assembled to
dispel various rumors that were in
circulation to the effect that the
Maui association had become divi-
-ded and had about ''given up the
ghost )" to show that the club still
maintained a most lively and
thriving existence; that it still
wanted annexation, and that it
fully endorsed and upheld the
Provisional government.
Volunteer speakers were then
called for.
+. F. b. McStocker, of the execu-
tive committee of the Honolulu
club, stated facts concerning the
prosperous condition of his own
association, and gave a brief out
line of the able support which the
government now has. He congratu-
lated the Maui club on its brave
showing, and said he should make
a most favorable report in Homo.
lulu!
= J. w. Kalua followed hirI~ with
a patriotic speech, brief and elo-
quent, which was ably interpreted
from Hawaiian to English by Sher-
iff Chillingsworth. He Indignantly
denied that there was any split
whatever in the Maui association,
but that they were as strong and
staunch as ever. 1t was now high
time for every man to take a de-
cided stand either for or against
ANNEXATION. Much applause.
IA. Mckay and other mem
bers made brief remarks on the
work of the club and concerning
the necessity of standing firmly to-
gether.
= J. l.. Dumas answer to the pro-
position of deciding matters by
general vote, was received with en-
thusiastic applause.
Two resolutions read by Secre-
tary Hons were unanimously
adopted.
The first was an endorsement of
the resolution recently offered by
John Emmeluth in the council,
relating to the enrolment of all
male office-holders under 45 years
of age in volunteer companies, and
all over that age in the citizens
reserve.
The second expressed "implicit
confidence" answering loyalty"
cordial support" and "frm adher-
ence" to the present government
from the 18th day of January last
to the present moment.
1t was further determined that |
copies of the above resolutions be |
forwarded to President S. B. Dole,
the executive council and the |
Honolulu annexation club.
