The New Republic Already Reoog-
Commission Representing the Ex-
Queen Reaches San Francisco En-
Route to Consult President Cleve-
land-Honolulu to Be Left without
the Presence of a United States War
ship for Couple OF Weeks.
Honolulu, July 21.-The provisional gov
ernment is no more, and the republic Of
Hawaii holds the reins of power. But 1t
is only a change Of name The same peo-
pie are in power, and the avowed purpose
of the government is the same--to obtain
annexation with the United States. The
new constitution, which was finished on
July 3, was promulgated on July from
the front steps of the former palace. A
large crowd was present, and when Pres
ident Dole appeared he was greeted by
mighty cheer. While surrounded by his
cabinet, the military and members Of the
late constitutional government, he read
the proclamation of the new republic.
United States Minister Willis, in in
formally recognizing the republic, said he
expected the cordial approval Of Presi>
dent Cleveland. The republic has bee a
generally recognized by the various con-
suls.
ROYAL COMMISSION.
San Francisco, July 2l.-The commits
sion of royal statesmen arrived from
Honolulu this morning on the steamer
Rio de Janeiro. They are on their way
to Washington to SEQ President Cleveland
and obtain from him an explicit answer
to the question whether he will do any
thing more or not TO redress the alleged
wrong done to Queen Liliuokalani and the
Hawaiian people by the action of Minister
Stevens.
ADMIRAL Walkers RETURN.
Washington, July 2l.-Secretary Her.
bert has sent orders to Admiral Walker
directing him to return home in the Phil
adelphia, and relinquish his command of
of the Pacific squadron to Commodore
Beardslee at San Francisco. These orders
will so forward by the steamer leav-
ing San Francisco on the Goth inst,
aud should be delivered to the admiral
not later than Aug 2. AS the flagship
Philadelphia is already coaled she will
sail for home a day or two later, but on
account Of the fouled condition Of her
hull below the water-line, due to the fact
that she has not been cleaned for a year,
she may not reach San Francisco till
Aug. 10. On her arrival at Mare Island
navy yard, Admiral Walker will haul
down his flag, which will be Immediately
replaced by Commodore Beardslee's pen
nant, and the admiral will come east to
take charge of the naval academy The
Philadelphia will be docked and thor
oughly overhauled, preparatory to o
cruise in South American Waters.
HAWAII TO DE WITHOUT CRUISER.
For some time at least a week or wo,
II not longer, Hawaii may be left without
the protection afforded by q United States
warship In Honolulu harbor il has been
decided by the administration that no NO
cessity exists for keeping an admiral in
Hawaiian waters, and the next United
States naval commander to protect
American interests in the islands will have
a captains rank. The cruiser Charles
ton, Capt George w. Coffin, Is under
orders TO proceed to Honolulu as soon as
she can be made ready. She recently re-
turned 10 San Francisco from Rio and
has been undergoing repairs and thor
ough cleaning at the Mare Island navy
ward, which are almost completed.
Another cause that may delay her depar-
ture is the fact that 1853 of her men, con-
sisting OF one company of marines,
two companies of blue jackets and
her battery of four machine guns, Is now
ashore doing guard duty at Oakland dur
ing the railway disturbance. When that
situation has so far improved as TO per-
NIT this force TO return TO the ship there
will probably be nothing to prevent the
Charlestons departure.
THE SITUATION PEACEFUL.
The latest reports from Admiral
Walker show peaceful condi-
tion of affairs in Hawaii, and
these have Influenced the administra-
tion in running the risk Of leaving the
American minister there without protec-
tion for a short period. The British
warship Champion is still there,
as well as the Japanese gunboat
Kon-Go. 1t is claimed that, as the new
republic proclaimed on the Fourth OF
July last has been fully and firmly estab-
lished according TO dispatches received
from Hawaii, there Is no ground for APP
prehension from the presence OF these
war vessels and the brief absence OF q
vessel representing the United States.
