ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
A Report From Washington That 1t Is
Shortly to Be Consummated.

San Francisco, June "A report
from Washington that the annexation
of Hawaii is about to be consummated
is given much credence by the officers
at Camp Merritt, and they are already
figuring upon an order to send troops
to the islands to look after Uncle
Sans interests, and some of the vol
unteers who fear that they will not be
sent to the Philippines are counting
upon being ordered to Hawaii as a
place of second choice.
General Merritt is arranging details
of the second expedition to the Phil
ippines, but has not yet made public
the assignment of troops for the expe-
dition and he will not make the order
public until the date of the sailing of
the fleet has been determined. 1t is
stated in some quarters that the ex-
pedition cannot possibly sail for two
weeks yet, and it is even semi-officially
stated that the vessels will not be
ready for ten days yet Just who is
to blame for the delay is mystery.
Owners of vessels say that they have
not received any hurry up" orders
from Washington
