CAN NEVER BE A QUEEN.
RoYALIsTs COME OVER TO DOLE.
The Republic of Hawaii Proclaimed
and Its Avowed Purpose is
Annexation.

HONOLULU, July 13.-The Provisional
Government is no more and the Republic
of Hawaii holds the reins. 1t is but
change of name, as the same people are IN
power and the avowed purpose OF the Gov
eminent is the same-to obtain annexation
with the United States.
The new constitution, which was finished
on the Sd, was promulgated on the 4th
of July, from the front steps OF the former
palace. a large crowd was present, ana
when President Dole appeared he was
greeted by a mighty cheer. Surrounded
by his Cabinet, officers of the military ana
the members of the late Constitutional
Convention, he read the proclamation OF
the new republic, as follows:
/, Sanford B. Dole, President of the Provl-
sional Government of the Hawaiian Islands,
by virtue of the charge given me by the Execu-
tive and Advisory councils Of the Provisional
Government and by act dated July 3, 1894,
proclaim the republic OF Hawaii as the sover-
eign authority over and throughout the Ha-
waiian Islands from this time forth; and de-
clare the constitution framed and adopted by
the constitutional convention of 1894 10 be the
constitution and supreme law OF the republic OF
HAWAII: and by virtue of this constitution
dent thereof. Long live the republic!
j. W. Kalua, one of the leading native
anneXationists, next read the proclama-
ton in Hawaiian. Both were greeted with
cheers and the ceremony was over. There
was no military display whatever. The
men of the Philadelphia were not landed,
the Government thinking it best not to
give its enemies the chance to say, as they
did before. that the change was made
while United States troops were present
to ntimidate the royalists.
Not the slightest demonstration was at
tempted by the supporters OF the ex-
Queen. A few evenings before the Fourth
the royalists held mass-meetlng, at
which about 1000 were present, and passed
a resolution protesting against the forma-
ton of the republic, claiming that Presi-
dent Cleveland had not yet answered the
petition sent by Liliuokalani. asking to
be restored to the throne. Copies of this
resolution were sent to the represen tatives
of foreign governments, with the request
that they would not recognize the republic.
1t had no effect. however. as all these
representatives have recognized ii. with
ths exception of Minister Wodehouse,
the English Minister resident, who simply
stated that he would inform his Govern
ment of the change.
On the eve OF the Fourth the annexa-
tionists held big mass meeting for the
purpose of ratifying the new constitution.
1t was a most enthusiastic meeting.
The Fourth was celebrated in true
American style. the double holiday making
it peculiarly a day of publication TO
Americans. Captain of Marines Cochrane
of the Philadelphia delivered the grafton.
He showed himself an annexationist. open
ing his speech by saying that he hoped
soon to be able to call those present Eel
loW-citizens." Throughout his Grafton he
lauded the Provisional Government and
Its supporters. Admiral Walker and bis
staff were present. and the admiral evil

though not officially.
The republic having been launched,
Minister Thurston will probably return to
Washington soon. He was not present on
the Fourth. having gone to the volcano.
One of the royalist papers, the Holomua,
which has been a rabid supporter of the
ex-Queen. has changed its policy and is
advising all rOyalists to take the oath OF
allegiance to the republic, and acknowl-
edges that the cause of the ex-Queen is
dead.
