~structions from Washington to hoist
the American flag and declare a pro-
tectorate over the Hawaiian Islands
If the Senate failed to ratify the an
n~exation treaty. The steamship
Moana which was to arrive at Homo
lulu on the 18th Of July was expected
to bring the news OF the failure Of the
treaty. In that event Minister Sc.
wall was to notify the Hawaiian gov
ernment of his intention to raise the
American flag and declare a project
crate. When the Belgic, which ar
rived in San Francisco on the Sd.
left Honolulu it vas expected that
the protectorate would be declared
on the I'd of this month. Minister
Sewall and President Dole had held
frequent consultations and it is be-
ieved they had agreed upon a pro-
gram. A dispatch of the Sd from
washington ways: IL l Qeclar0O
positively at the State Department
that there has been no change in the
instructions given either to Minister
Sewall or to Admiral Beardslee
touching their attitude toward the
Hawaiian question. The Admiral's
instructions we're to protect Ameri-
can interests at all points and to es-
tablish a protectorate only in the
event Of serious disturbance or the
commission Ct some overt act. It is
not understood that the execution Of
this order was at all dependent upon
the action or ~non-action Of Congress
upon the annexation treaty.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
irhamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the EustachIan Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can DO taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
ditioD, bearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.
