Hawaii from the steps of the former

military display. The United States
marines were not landed, and there
We're no signs of disturbance The
new government was recognized by all
the governments except England-her
minister saying he would inform his

an Grafton enunciating annexation
principles. which Admiral Walker,
who was present. evidently endorsed.

HAWAIIAN REPUBLIC.

Minister Willis Was Little Premature.
WASHINGTON. july &c. a cabinet
meeting considerable time was spent
discussing the formal recognition of
the new republic of Hawaii by United
States Minister Willis. 1t felt the
minister was a little precipitate in SO
committing the government of the
United States without first consulting
the department of state, as it is said
to be customary IN such cases, and as
was done by British Commissioner
Wodehouse. Still the general opinion
was the minister's action was only
premature as the United States would
ultimately be obliged to accord recog-
milton to the new government, which
appears to have been organized in the
usual and regular course.
