1T CAME
AT LAST
How the Coveted News Was
Received In Various
Quarters.
AT THE WHARF.

The first annexation news was tele-
phoned to Minister SewaII, Consul Hay
wood and the Executive building from
the L. S. S. Mohican. Men on the
warship read the signals from the Cop
! tic and Immediately gave out the infor-
nation.
After boarding the COptic the OIL
! GERS brought the Mohicans launch to
stand in the middle of the harbor and
signaled the annexation news to their
| ship. Sailors were up in the rigging
as high as the cross trees. a mighty
cheer arose when they read the news
conveyed by the flag on the Iaunch.
Pandemonium reigned when the news
came that Cervera's fleet had been
sunk.
A great crowd was gathered on the
Pacific Mail wharf to hear the news.
National Guard officers read the Mo-
hican's flag signals and gave it out.
Pandemonium reigned. Men shouted
themselves hoarse. Cheer after cheer
arose from crowds ON the wharf. Hun
dreds crowded around Minister Sewau
to shake his hand. The diplomat was
wreathed in smiles and looked as
happy as a boy on Fourth Of July.
Consul Haywood was so moved that he
could hardly express himself but just
went around shaking hands with
everybody. Captain Paul Smith, in
uniform, appeared on the wharf carry
ing an American flag. He was seized
by the crowd raised on the shoulders
of stout men and ordered to ''let her
float" AS the flag opened out ire
mendous shout arose from the crowd,
ladies joining in with the men. Soon
after Irish Consul Sullivan, of Ord
way & Porter's, appeared with an arm
full of flags and distributed them
among the multitude.
The waterfront hustler for the Ad-
vertiser brought the first paper news
of annexation ashore. He gave San
Francisco extras to Minister SewaH,
President Dole and others.

THE PRESIDENT.

President Dole was at his beach cot
tage below Diamond Head when the
Coptic was sighted and standing on the
beach in front of it when the steamer
came opposite the signal station. He
watched the big liner through his
glasses for some indication Of what
many felt might be the news. Sud
denly, as if shot from a. trap, a half
dozen lines of flags flew upward to the
mastheads and caught the breeze. The
ship was dressed. 1t meant news. 1t
meant annexation.
The President turned quickly and
called for his horse. He dOnned his
leggings and was soon on his way to
the city. He reached the wharf as the
steamer arrived off the mouth Of the
channel.
