MIR. sEWALL's INSTRUCTIONS.
circumstances Under Which He Will
Act fn Hawaii.

Act I'm Hawaii.
Officials of the State Department saw that
there is no foundation for the report that
United States Minister Sewall at Honolulu
has been instructed Internationally to raise
the American flag at Honolulu and declare
Hawaii under the protection of the United
States, further than that while the annex
alton treaty was pending in the Senate
the minister was instructed to take the
action indicated in the event of serious
trouble or the commission of some overt
act. The execution of these instructions
was In no wise dependent upon the action
or non-action of Congress on the annexa-
ton treaty, but was merely to insure the
maintenance of the status quo pending the
final settlement of the annexation question.
Similar instructions have been given to
Admiral Miller, who is now on his way to
Honolulu to relieve Admiral, Beardslee of
command OF the vessels on that station.
II would therefore appear that there is no
likelihood of a change in the political sit
uation In Hawaii during the recess of Con-
gress unless some foreign government
should attempt to interfere in the afYairs
OF the island republic; In which event. how
ever, the American warships would take
prompt and decisive action to place the
islands and their inhabitants under the
protection of the United States flag
At the Navy Department an even more
explicit denial of the story that the flag
was to be hoisted yesterday was obtained
1t was said that Admiral Beardslee's orders
only contemplated a landing In an emer-
gency to preserve the status quo, and that
the landing IN that case would not be for
a longer period Of time than was necessary
to restore conditions to their former shape.
1t was said that, as President Mckinley
had referred the whole matter to CongresA
along with the annexation treaty, 1t would
not be courteous TO that body for the ex-
ecutive to act of its own volition until
Congress had expressed its will.

An important decision was rendered yes
torday by Assistant Secretary of the In
terror Webster Davis. 1t related to claims
for pensions under the act of January %,
1857. known as the Mexican war survivors
act. granting pensions to those officers and
men Of the age of sixty-two or over who
served with the army and navy in the war
with Mexico. Mr.. Davis held that the Or
der of the President, under the act of
March 2, 1893, by which the revenue cutter
Forward was turned over to the navy for
eo-opera ton Herewith during the war with
Mexico, operated to merge that vessel and
her officers and men into the naval estab-
lishment, and that, during the period she
was so employed. she was part and parcel
of the navy establishment This decision,
II Is believed, may operate to grant pen
sions to such officers ard men of the rev.
enue marine service who co-operated with
the navy under orders of the President in
the war of tie rebellion and other wars.
