Many wears ago an English clergyman
in small town preached as his own a

had been originally preached in London

After reproving the vice Of the people the
sermon went on:
For this vice it is that God has WIS.,
tied you and your families with that cruel
scouree the plague, which is now spread

At his uttering these words the people
were all so thunderstruck that the Chief
Magistrate was obliged to 60 to the pulpit
and ask him:
For Gods sake, sir, pardon the inter
ruption. and inform me where the plague
is, that | may instantly endeavor to pre-
vent its further spreading

HAWAII 70 Be Annexed
MINISTER SEWALLS ORDERS
Instructions to Raise the Anne rican
Flag Over the Islands as Soon IN
War IL Declared Between tho
United states and spain-PactMc
Cable Plans.

Chicago, April S.-A special dispatch to
the Inter-Ocean from Honolulu says:
1t is generally understood here and UNI
disputed that if news is received here
that war has been declared between the
United States and Spain, or any other
country, the American minister and Ad-
miral Miller have orders to raise the stars
and stripes over Hawaii and to maintain
them at any cost.
Such instructions, say the local papers,
were received from Washington in the
last mail. The statement has appeared
without contradiction in the Star. Both
Minister Sewall and Admiral Miller are
reticent concerning the report, neither Of
frming nor denying it.
The necessity of immediate action in
such an emergency is Mt once apparent.
Spain has several warships in the Paci-
fic, which could scarcely make their way
to the American coast without having an
intermediate coaling station. The Ha-
waiian islands are the only available
place. A single war vessel could success
fully defend this harbor and the coal sup.
plies here against half a dozen such craft
as Spain has in the Pacific. SO that, af.
ter all, an opportunity may be given for
u practical illustration of the oft repeated
argument that these islands are the stm-
tegic point of vantage in the Pacific from
IA naval point of view.
The news that congress had voted $50
100000 for war materials caused the
greatest enthusiasm here. So thoroughly
American is Honolulu that every one is
eager for war news. 1t quite supersedes
in the public mind the news concerning
the progress of the annexation treaty.
In case war is declared and there is a call
for volunteers the islands will likely send
II large company Of militiamen to enlist
under odd Glory" A company is already
in process of formation, and the roster
presents the names of several prominent
business men.
Senator Brown has introduced in the
legislature bill authorizing the con
structitn by the Pacific Cable Company
OF II cable between the United States and
these islands. The Pacific Cable Com,
pany better known assthe Seymour Com
pany. is the one whose bill in the Ameri-
can congress has just been reported fa.
vorably by the committee.
The Hawaiian bill gives exclusive cabl,
rights to the islands for 20 gears. Tn.
cable must be laid within Is months afte,
the passage of the act by the America,
congress, and be extended to Japan with
in three years. 1t must be capable o
transmitting Is words minute. The toll
rate between here and san Francisco j,
not to exceed 80 cents per word, and t,
Japan 30 cents per word In case of wal
the president may sezc the cable and ex
clnde all messages he sees fit. 4 yuaran
tee Of 1000 in government bonds mus
be put up by the company.
There seems but little doubt that tn,
bill will speedily pass. and the long eN
pected cable will probably be laid lat,
this summer. II the United States zoe

doubt that the cable will he laiu in yer,
