San Francisco. Aug. s.-The following from the correspondent of the Associated Press at Honolulu was received on the steamer Balgiac today:
 The arrival of the steamship Monawai from San Francisco, due here the 29th, me.ans much for Hawaii. In official cir cles it is generally understood that Unibsd States Minister Sewall Will carry out the instructions received in the last mail said to be:
 'If Monawai brings word that congress failed to pass the annexation treaty Min ister Sewall is to declare a protectorate and raise the American flag. The Ameri- can minister has had frequent confer- ences with President Dole within the past week and It is believed they have agreed upon programme. The general impress sion here is that congress has decided to let the matter of annexation wait over until the regular session, Intervening months would be a long time for this country to stand out in view of the atti- tude of Japan, and Secretary Sherman believed a protectorate of the Unit d States is the only way to prevent hostile demonstration on the pant of Japan. AIS soon as the Monawai arrives it is un 9er-l stood the United States minister will mo- tify this government of his intention to raise the American flag.

CRAVE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Constitution Set at Defiance in
 Portugal WITHOUT LEGAL WARRANTS
Police Rsnsack Houses and Arrest Citizens Humbert of Italy Keeps an Eye Open
 sto Protect His Sister, the Queen.

London,.. ..Aug.--4srA-lispa to the Daily Mail from Madrid describes very grave state of affairs in Portugal.
 According to this correspondent the Portuguese government is setting the constitution at defiance and adopting the most stringent oppressive measures.
 The police, without legal warrants, enter private dwellings at all hours of the day and night, ransack them, seize property and march the owners off to prison on the most trifling or utterly unfounded chages.
 A veritable reign of terror is estab- lished and it is tha popular belief that the government contemplates passing it's obnoxious financial legislation by means of coup detat.
 A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Rome says that King Humbert is in daily correspondence with his sister, the quesn dowager of Portugal, on the sub ject of the present disturbances, and he has instructed the Italian minister at Lisbon, Count Gerbacide De Sonasides,  to render all assistance in his power to ths royal family in case an emergency should arise.
 The Italian government has placed two men-of-war under secret orders to proceed to Lisbon.
