SAN FRANCISCO Aug a-The s,eam-

Honolulu this morning and brought the
following Hawaiian advices under the
date of July q:
The arrival OF the steamer Moano from
San Francisco. due here the 18th, means
much for Hawaii In close official circles
II IS generally understood that United
states Minister Sewall Will carry out the
instructions received in the last mail
which are said TO be- 10 the effect that If
the Moano brings word that congress has
failed to pass the annexation treaty,
then Minister Sewall is to declare n pro-
tectorate and raise the American flag.
Minister Sewail has had frequent consul
tations with President Dole within the
past week. and IL is believed they agreed
upon a programme.
1t Is said that in view Of the attitude Of
Japan Secretary Sherman is Of the opin-
ion that the United States protectorate
Is the only way 10 prevent hostile action
during the intervening months before
congress reconyenes. IT Is expected that
allowing fer the requirements Of diplo-
matte etiquette. everything will be in
readiness for the declaration of the pro-
tectorate on Monday. August 2

poets 10 spend several weeks In the Uni
ted States before returning TO Japsn.

opinion that the present congress Will
never take favorable action on the treaty
now before II. He does not look for any
rupture that may disturb the friendly re-
lations now existing between the Unit I'd
States and Japan. but he does believe that
the japanese government has just
claim against the Hawaiian government
in connection with the immigration
trouble. although she Is not likely 10 err
force her claim Sc the Hawaiian gov
eminent rsfuset recognize II
There Is no possible likelihood Of
trouble between Japan and the United

tration made by your government The
