WHEELING HAD MESSAGES FOR
ADMIRAL MILLER.
An Order Directs Him to Hoist the
Stars and Stripes and Hold Hawaii
Against All Opposition.

The true secret of the Wheeling's
mission to Honolulu was learned to-
day upon the arrival of the City of
Peking. The little gunboat brought
positive orders to Admiral Miller to
hoist the Stars and Stripes over Ha-
waii at the very first sign of any unu-
sual step on the part of the japanese.
The following dispatch sent out
from Washington on September Goth
explains all:
That the administration has grave
fears that Japan is planning a coup in
the Hawaiian Islands and is taking
every precaution to checkmate the
Eastern Empire there is longer any
doubt.
Rear Admiral Miller, in command of
the Pacific station, who is now at
Honolulu on the flagship Philadelphia.
believes that Japan is planning TO
prevent the annexation of the Islands
to the United States. and has notified
the department to that effect. His
dispatch, brought up on the Moana
and telegraphed from San Francisco,
was very brief, but it caused consid-
cradle CONSERVATION in the Navy De-
partment and resulted in sending the
| Wheeling to Honolulu post haste. Ac-
cording to a high official in the Navy
Department Admiral Miller's dispatch
read as follows:
"The japanese cruiser Naniwa Kan
has left this port, but is under orders
! to return at a stated time"
1t was exactly just such a move as
the same vessel made in 1892, at the
| tippa of tbo oyart II ,.o1x, Of a1 n
and the raising of the Stars and
| Stripes on the Islands. The Naniwa
Kan was stationed at Honolulu at the
time, but suddenly received sailing or
ders, ostensibly for home. She went
to sea, but instead of returning tc
Japan went to one of the neighboring
islands, where she remained for two
or three weeks, when she returned rC
Honolulu to the discomfort of every
body there. just what her plans were
was never definitely understood, bu
it was the general belief that hel
movements were intended to throw
the American Minister and naval for
ces off their guard, and if the oppor
tunity presented to either give aid t,
the anti-anneXationists or take forci
BILE possession of the Islands in tn,
name of the japanese Emperor.
The opportunity never occurred
but the home government has not for
gotten the affair, and the dispatches
the Wheeling is bearing to Admira
Miller will again prevent Japan from
carrying her scheme of preventing an
neXation into effect.
1t is stated on undisputed authorit,
that the dispatches from the Secretar,
of the Navy instruct Admiral Mile
to closely watch every move of tn
japanese, and at the very first sigl
of any unusual step to hoist the Anne
rican flag over the Islands again ant
to hold them against all opposition.
This, in effect, is the order to tn
head of the naval forces there. TIL
Wheeling also CONVEYS dspatche
from the State Department to Minis
ter Sewall, but although their exoc
terms are unknown outside of the de
partment. it is certain that the Min
lister is given practically the same in
structions as those to the Admiral.

ADMIRAL BEARDSLEE.

WASHINGTON, October Admiral
Beardslee, who has been in command
of the Pacific station for three years,
returned to Washington today, and
called upon Secretary Long and Sec
retary Sherman. With the latter ne
went to the White House and called
upon the President. The Admiral in
IA short time will make an informal
report to Secretary Long giving his
views and opinions of the Hawaiian
situation and such information as Me
has gained during his long stay in tae
Islands. :.
Speaking of the reported opposition
to annexation, the Admiral said today
that it amounts to little. The sub
stantial business men of the Islands
favor annexation with few eNcep-
tions. The exceptions may be able to
work up some opposition among the
natives, but nothing of any consc-
quence in his opinion, can come of L.
The interests of some persons in an
neNation is apathetic, but they accept
it as the best horn of dilemma.

TALKS ABOUT NEW STEAMERS
AND BETTER SERVICE.
Honolulu May Become the China's
Terminal Point-How the Noted
Visitor is Being Entertained.


X. z. Schwerin, vice president and
general manager of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, arrived here on
the S. S. City of Peking, this morn
ing, on tour of inspection of the
company's agencies here and in the
Orient. AS he is somewhat pressed
for time his stay in this city will be
very brief, lasting only until II p. m.
tonight, when the Peking sails for the
Orient. The members of Mr.. Schwe-
rims travelling party are: Mrs. Sch
werin and child, Mrs. II. w. Ellicott,
DIR. &. w. Robinson and j. Z. Thomp-
son, the managers private secretary.
To a Star reporter Mr.. Schwerin
said this morning that his visit to the
Islands at this time was of no special
| significance. 81 have never met our
agents abroad" he said, "although /
have known them through correspon-
| dence for five years. So | have under
taken to visit them all personally, in
cidentally securing vacation, and
hoping to return home before next
| Christmas.
"You can say, he continued, in an
swer to another question, "that know
nothing of the reported plan of the
Pacific Mail Company to absorb the
Oceanic line of steamers. There was
such rumor in San Francisco. but
| imagine some of the newspaper boys
invented the story to make a little
capital. Really I know nothing of
! the matter whatever"
''Is there anything in the story that
Honolulu will in the near future be-
| hn iY,o1 nf h.
nap" was asked,
"That the future must determine
replied Mr.. Schwerin. "We have beer
given to understand that the Island
people are desirous of having a fas.
ter and finer steamer running be.
tween here and San Francisco thar
they have at present. We have the
matter under consideration, but as
said before the future must decide fol
us. l can say no more now.
"We have now on paper" he resum
ed, ''two ten thousand ton twin screw
steamships of the Atlantic liner type
which we contemplate putting on tn,
line between San Francisco and tn,
Orient. with Honolulu as a port O
call. These steamships will be far SUI
perior in speed and comfort to any

EN- ROUTE FOR WASHINGTON TO
OPPOSE ANNEXATION.
Is Apprehensive of Being Supplant-
ed by Her Young, Beautiful and Ac-
complished Niece.

The San Francisco Call says:
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani and her suite
EX-Queen Liliuokalani and her suite
left San Francisco for Washington,
where she will resume her fight made
against annexation.
She was accompanied only by her
two lady servants and managers of
her household and minor affairs, Mr..
and Mrs. Helulehe, who have been her
constant companions ever since she
left Honolulu last October.
,Princess Kaiulani, aspirant to the
Hawaiian throne and niece of Liliuo-
kalani, will sail from Liverpool for
New York on October 9th. Her pur-
pose is to visit Honolulu and create
a favorable impression. Whether or
not she will confer with her aunt on
her way here the eX-queen was un-
able to say.
An impression is current, however,
that aside from cordial relations as
relatives, neither is eager to see the
other as far as their political rela-
tions are concerned.
Liliuakalani is secretly a little ap-
prehensive of being supplanted in the
affections of the Hawaiian people by
her young, beautiful and accomplish.
ed niece. and Kaiulani ,blames heI
aunt for the loss of the Hawaiian
throne.
The ex-queen has accepted a flatter
ing invitation to attend in a few
weeks the reunion at New Bedford

nj has relatives and old missionary
friends living in Massachusetts,, ant

p GREECE COERCED,

ATHENS, October 1.-The contents
of the White Book presented to the
Chamber is now generally known. It
confirms the statement that Germany
threatens to withdraw from the con-
cert of the powers in the event of
Greece not accepting the peace con-
ditions, and it also confirms the state
ments regarding the warning to the
Greek government which the French
Minister of Foreign .,.rairs, NJ. Hano-
tauN, issued May 30th, relative to the
internal situation, declaring that any
attack upon the dynasty would now
threaten the very existence of Greece.

CABINET MEETING.
Spanish and Hawaiian Questions are
Discussed before the President.

WASHINGTON, October 1.-The
first meeting of the Cabinet since the
return of the President from Massa-
chusetts was held today and was at
tended by every member except See
retary Gage, who is not in Washing
ton. The meeting lasted longer than
usual.
The Spanish crisis attracted much
attention and was discussed at some
length. There seems to be general
belief that the Madrid crisis. if not
making for our good, cannot be ex-
pected to injure our relations with
Spain. This believe is based upon the
idea that if conservative cabinet
succeeds the Azcarraga ministry the
worst that can happen will be con-
tinuation of the present line of policy
for Spain is too near an end of her
financial resources to put forth more
strenuous efforts to subdue the Gu
bans. On the other hand, it is be-
lieved that liberal ministry will al
most certainly offer good opportunity
for bringing the present war to an
end.
The conditions of Hawaii, as reveal
! ed to Admiral Beardslee, were talked
of, and with evident satisfaction the
Cabinet received the Admiral's state
ment that in all his stay in Hawaiian
waters his relations with the japanese
officials on shore and onSthe cruiser
Naniwa, were of the most pleasant
nature. In no case had there been
the slightest exhibition of purpose
on the part Of the. Japanese comman-
dT to attempt any cedp, and there
we're constant Exchanges of visits be-
tween the officers of the Saniwa and
