HAWAII NOW OUR ALLY.
We Are Bound to Protect Her-The
Charleston Beyond Honolulu.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The naval Off
cials now calculate that Hawaii has be-
come an ally of the United States Gov
eminent in the present war with Spain,
and that al this moment our government
is responsible for the protection Of the
Hawaiians from the consequences Of
their friendship for us.
According TO the calculations Of the
officials of the Navy Department, the
United States cruiser Charleston arrived
at Honolulu last Sunday. She has proba-
bly, completed the taking aboard of a full
coal supply, and is now again on her way
westward, bound for the Philippines.
The coal was accumulated at Honolulu
by United States Consul-General Hay
wood, and in allowing the Charleston to
take on a supply 10 carry on operations
against Spanish territory, the Government
of Hawaii has cast away all semblance
Of neutrality in the present contest, and
has thrown in her fortunes with the
United States, for unless we protect her
she is subject to punishment at the hands
Of Spain.
Moreover, the offence against neutrality
is to be repeated for it is expected that
to-day the advance guard Of the trans
ports carrying troops to Manila is enter
ing Honolulu harbor to replenish it's coal
supply.

demned, as Contrnbnnd.
KEY WEST, FLA, June Fin the
United States District Court to-day Judge
Locke rendered a decision condemning
the cargo of coal Of the British steamer
Restormel, seized on Monday as she was
trying to run the blockade. Judge Locke's
decision releases the Restormel.
The Court held that the question for it
TO decide was whether, at the time of the
carter and shipment the owners of the
vessel knew, or should be held to have
known, that she was carrying contraband
of war, to aid the belligerents.
1t being shown that the Restormel sailed
previous TO the declaration of war, the
presumption of innocence was raised, and
there being no evidence that the owners
We're wilfully and knowingly guilty Of
aiding the belligerent fleet to coal, the
steamer is ordered to be released
AS to the coal cargo, the vessels re-
marIable movements from San Juan 10
Curacao, and then, on the Spanish Con-
suPs order TO Santiago de Cuba, convince
the Court that the cargo was intended
for the Spanish fleet, and is contraband
of war; The cargo is order appraised and
turned over to the Navy Department
which will deposit its appraised value
with the New York Sub-Treasury to the
credit of this country.
