govern the disposition of the lands OF

The Hawaiian Islands shall be ad-
mltted into the Union as a Territory OF
the United States, local laws to be passed
by local Legislature, but subject to the
approval of the President.
Until Congress shall apply the laws of
the United States to the islands the pres
ent laws OF Hawaii are to govern the

governing Hawaiian commercial relations
with foreign nations shall remain in force
until Congress shall take action.
The further immigration of Chinese
laboreTs is prohibited pending Congress
sional action, and the entry of Chinese
from Hawaii into the United states is
likewise prohibited.
The United States assumes the public
debt of Hawaii, but with the stipulation
that this liability shall not exceed

The treaty, before it becomes effective.
shall be ratified by the proper authorities
of the United States and Hawaii.

Assistant Secretary Pruden arrived al

Immediately upon the formal presenta-

cupied very little time. The Presidents

over a hundred words-whle the treaty

at this time, but he vouchsafed no reason
for his opinion. Nothing more was said
about the treaty, but an effort will un-
doubtedly be made at o-morrow's execu-
tive session 10 remove the injunction OF
secrecy.
The Japanese Government has filed a
protest against the Hawaiian treaty on
the ground that it promises to lead to a
breach OF treaty stipulations between Ja-
pan and Hawaii
Minister Hoshi Of Japan declined TO be
seen to-day about Japan's protest, and
Secretary Matsu refused to discuss the
matter in any way; but it is learned that
the japanese protest was made in person
to the State Department yesterday after
noon by Minister Hoshi.
News OF the protest was great surprise
TO the Hawaiian legation, and as soon as
intelligence was obtained Minister Hatch
started out to learn the particulars.
The essential point as to the protest. it
is saii at the Hawaiian legation, is
whether the protest is against the annexa-
ton of Hawaii, or is simply protest re-
serving TO Japan all her rights under the
existing treaty with Hawaii. 1t is be.
lieved to be the latter.
The japanese treaty with Hawaii was
made in 1875 and provides that natives or
citizens Of one country shall have the un-
interrupted right TO enter into, reside and
trade IN other countries, and shall also
have the rights and privileges enioyed by
the people of any other country under the
1 treaty stipulations with Japan.
Japan nnder the treaty consequently
has perfect right to have her imigrants IS
enter the Hawaiian Islands. Under the
international law the annexation of Ha-
waii 10 the United States would abroga te
this treaty. Moreover, new treaty be-
tween the United States and Japan, made
some time ago, and to become effective in
1899, provides that the United States may
exclude japanese. Ii Hawaii is annexed
the effect would be to permit the United
States to exclude the Japanese from Ha-
wal. II is taken ior granted that the pro-
test therefore. is one OF reserving Japan's
rights under the treaty OF 1875 with Ha-
wall,

EAGER F0R THE NQUIRY.
Commander Muiidn CLAIMS That He Can
DispToVs the Charges Made
EodirSt II m.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 16.-The
court-martial of Commander Dennis w.
Mullan was begun here to-day. The
charges set forth that Commander Mullan
was under the influence OF liquor at the
Escambia Hotel, Pensacola.
One specification was that Commander
Mullan was drunk while entering the
steam launch of the Pensacola navy-yard.
Another specification was that the ac-
cused was drunk in one of the Pensacola
traction cars. The second charge was
that Commander Mullan was drunk on
duty. The specifications were that he
was drunk in various places while on duty
at the yards. All these instances of in
ebriety are alleged to have occurred in
1896.
Before pleading counsel for the accused
m we'd TO strike out specification in
charge l on the ground that no date was
given. This motion was sustained after
reading of that part of the rules governing
the United States navy bearing on the
case.
Captain John MuIlan, brother of Com
mander Mullan, told THE CALL corre-
spondent that this court-martial was
ordered at the earnest solicitation of the
accused. He said that the stories of
drunkenness had their origin among lot
of women at Pensacola, and that
as his brother would soon apply
for examination for promotion in
consequence OF the retirement of Ad-
miral Brown he desired the stories of his
drunkenness set at rest by official investi-
CATION. He said il was the first time in
history Of an officer being tried by court
martial for offenses alleged to have been
committed 1000 miles away from the place
of trial. This was perfectly satisfactory
to the accused. however as his only wish
was to prove the groundessness of the
gossip affecting his good name.
