the Hawaiian consul and few friends,
but therewere no representatives OF the
United States government to welcome

or action on tho same deferred indcfi-

that President Dole will not journey TO
Washington, but instead viii take the
first boat to Honolulu.
There Is not much speculation here as
to the manner In which President Nc
Kinley will receive the visit OF Hawaii's
chief executive. In the prellminaries
necessary to the meeting OF the two
heads OF nations, the Hawaiian minister
at Washington, Mr.. +. VI. Hatch, Will
first communicate with Secretary Sher-
man who In turn shall notify President
Mckinley that President Dole will soon
call at tho white house. The details OF
the presentation will be arranged and
will have been communicated by Sec

ton Will present President Dole to Sec
retary Sherman, who Will In turn pre-
sent the visitor to President Mckinley.

clude military display and II may be
quiet and democratic; 1t all depends
upon the programme as prepared by
Secretary Sherman and President Nc
Kiniey.

merely on friendly visit to this coun-
try and its President. II was thought
best by the Hawaiian government that

think the sentiment OF the people OF the

General Shafter on behalf OF THE gov

Washington in their fight, carried a sub
