mier, denies that King George has
threatened to abdicate. This is be-
lieved to mean that Germany has prob
ably consented to some modified con-

both Greece and to Europe. A sharp
engagement took place between 1000
Turkish troops and the armed popula-
ton of the villages lying between Met
sovo, Trikhala and Kalarrytes. The
Turks retreated after losing 10 killed.

Instructions to Our Minister at Hon
olulu-Matter Of ANNEXATION Too Far
or For the Country 20 stand Alone.
Secretary Sherman Reticent.
Washington. Aug. "A press CORE
spondent at Honolulu sends the follow
ing, which came by steamer to San
Francisco yesterday:
"rhe arrival of the steamship Mouna
from San Francisco, due in Honolulu
the 29th. means much for Hawaii. In
official circles 1t is generally UNDER
stood that Minister Sewall will carry
out the instructions received in the
last mail, said to be that If congress
failed to pass the annexation treaty
Minister Sewall is to declare q pro-
tectorate and raise the American flag.
The American minister has had fire.
quent consultations with President Dole
within the past week, and 1t Is be-
lieved they have agreed on program.
The general impression here is that
congress has decided to let the mat
ter Of annexation wait over until the
regular session. The Intervening
months would be long time for this
country to stand alone, in view Of the
attitude Of Japan.
"As soon as the Mouna arrives It Is
understood the United States minister
will notify this government Of his in
tentlon TO raise the American flag.
Diplomatic etiquette will allow day
or two for answer, and 1t is expected
everything Will be in readiness to de-
clare a protectorate Monday, Aug. 2.
The foregoing information comes from
a reliable source, and but few persons
In Honolulu are aware of the near ap-
proach of the most important event
in the history of the country"
At the state department 1t is said
that there has been no change in the
instructions given either to Minister
Sewall or to Admiral Beardslee touch
ing their attitude toward the Hawaii
an question. The admiral's instruc-
tions were to protect the American in
terests at all points and to establish a
protectorate only in the event of seri-
Gus disturbance or the commission of
some overt act.
