WAITING FOR GOOD NEWS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, August 3.-The
following from the correspondent Of the
Associated Press at Honolulu was received
on the steamer Belgic today:
THE arrival of the steamship Mouna
from San Francisco, due here July 90 means
much for Hawaii. In official circles it Is
generally understood thar United States
Minister Sewall will carry out the instruc-
tons received in The list mail, sail to be
to this effect: If Mouna brings word
that Congress failed TO pass the annexa-
ton treaty Minister Sewall is 20 declare a
protec.orate ard raise the American flag.
Talks With President Dole.
''The American minister has had frequent
consultations with President Dole within
the past week. and 1t is believed they have
agreed on a program. The general impress
sion here is that Congress has decided
to let the matter of annexation wait over
until the regular session. The interven-
ing months would be a long time for this
country alone in view of the attitude of
Japan, and Secretary Sherman believed
protectorate of the United States is the
only way to prevent possible hostile action
on the part of the Japanese.
las soon as the Mouna arrives, 1t is ur-
derstood the United States minister will
notlfy this government of his intention to
raise the American flag. Diplomatic ETH
qdette Will allow day or two for answer,
and 1t Is expected everything will be in
readiness to declare proctectorate Mon
day. August .
Few Aware of the Situation.
"The foregoing information comes from a
reliable source, and but few persons in
Honolulu are aware of the near approach
OF the most important event in the history
of the country"
It is not believed here that Minister Sew
ell has any orders to establish a protecto-
rate under the circumstances of no action
being taken for the annexation treaty, but
1t Is certain that both Minister Sewell and
Admiral Beardslee have received orders to
raise the American flag and declare a pro-
tectorate in case of any trouble occurring
