NO NEUTRALITY IN HAWAII.
PRESIDENT DOLE THINKS TO PROCLAIM
1T A BREACH OF GOOD FAITH

Honolulu, May 10, by way Of San Francisco.
May l6-The Hawaiian Government will not
proclaim neutrality. This stand is taken on
account Of the existing relations between the
United States and Hawaii. The Executive con-
siders that proclamation Of neutrality would
be breach Of good faith. The Government
mace known its position yesterday at secret
session of the Senate 1t is understood that
the Senators favored the stand taken by Presi-
dent Dole
Another important matter considered at the
session was the Occupation bill. which, II rati-
fed by the Senate. Will allow the United States
TO raise the American flag over the island and
use the same base Of supplies. This meas
ure is said to have been prepared with the
knowledge Of members Of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Affairs and has had the approval OF
President Mckinley This bill received by
the Hawaiian Government a short time ago, and
has had the careful attention Of President Dole
and his Cabinet.
The members Of the Senate questioned the
Executive yesterday regarding the foregoing
measure. They were informed that the measure
was under consideration. and that It would be
unwse to make II public at this time. When
the bill is given to the Senate that body VIII
ratfy it at once: on this point there does not
seem TO be any doubt
1t extensively reported In the business
community on May that Spain. through agents
here buying all the coal to be had on thiS
island. The Consul for Spain denied this. ana
said there was not word Of truth In It. That
coal famine is imminent there can be haroiy
any doubt. Last weeks stocks were lower IMAM
in many months, scarcely eight thousand tons
being hand. and only one house has any
coal for sale. and Will only consent to sell IN
quantities to satisfy Immediate demands.
United States Consul General Haywood has
been watching the situation closely and has
strongly fortified Americas position He has
$500 tons Of coal on hand ct the present time
with two cargoes afloat bound for this port. In
less than a month the United States Will have
400 tons Of coal at this port.
The steamship Rio Janeiro arrived from San
Francisco on the 7th. bringing news Of war be-
tween the United States and Spain Captain
Nichols was seen on board the Bennington

ITALIAN OPERA.

A season OF italian opera which has It's begin

the merits Of the singers who introduced themselves
10 a metropolitan audience at Wallacks The
atre last night or the opera which they
brought forward. The first half OF the task
would not take long II II were not for the
fac. that the manner Of the singing IN Puccinfs

that It would be obviously unfair 10 discuss one
element without the other. SO II Is wiser to let all
discussion wait upon the mere record. which Is
that La Boheme performed IN the presence
OF an audience which had sufficiently large IN
fusion OF ardent lovers Of the italian language set

whenever occasion allowed that as such things go
a success must be chroniced. OF course. the stars
differed one from the other In glory. and tho

the companies which try often TO return old
