nesring an end, : no
date set
President Dole aud his Cabinet
are hard at work on the new
Constitution. and al necessary
details toward Constitutional
convention are being arranged.
During the present month all
matters relating thereto will have
been arranged. and the predic-
ton is confidently asserted that
by July the Hawaiian islands
will be governed under a new
form. While it is true that
there are some noticeable dis
sessions among the rank and file
of the Provisional Governments
supporters. nothing which is
likely to cause serious split in
the party is imminent. :
(Ha! date, JulyD
Since the reported attempt
some weeks ago to throw dyn-
amite bombs among the Coun-
cillors while in session additional
precautions have been taken and
extra guards placed in and around
the executive building. Sent
ries have been doubled around
the Government bu ldings. :

amite par is introduced)
Much excite ment was caused
yesterd " when it was rumored
that ex-Qneen Lilmokalani con.
templated leaving Honolulu for
one of the other islands. The
story gees that she believed there
was about to be serious trouble,
and with number of her imme-
diate retainers she WAS anxious
to secure safely in flight. The
first report said tat she would
leave her old home at Washing
ton place and proceed to her
villa at Waikiki beach, near the
ocean. From this point a boat
for a hurried trip, if necess ,ry to
a man of-war, could be easily and
quickly accomplished Should
the expected trouble occur IN
town the note of alarm could be
given by either a telephone mes
sage or rockets. Immediately
upon such signal her ex-majesty
would seek protection aboard
the English gunboat. Effort is
being made to discover if her at
tack of nervousness is revival
of fear or simply part of Il pre-
cantionary moment. ( <
