EVERYTHING NOW DEPENDS ON
THE COMMISSION.
No Longer Any Right to Command
Her People to Oppose American
Rule-Wants State Rights.

EX-Queen Liliuokalani and her af-
fairs occupy full page in the latest
Sunday Call at hand. From the in
terview therein detailed the follow
ing extracts are taken:
Before this war broke out L had
every hope that l would come into
my own again. If annexation had
been defeated the movement for the
restoration of the monarchy would
have gained strength enough To then
sweep the republic away. My people
never voted for the republic, but at
least IS per cent of them would have
voted for my return to the throne. Ev-
erything now depends on the manner
in which the commissioners the Unit
ed States is sending to Hawaii settle
the government If they treat my
people well and give them the full
measure of liberty which they deserve
all will be right.
"We were the most civilized race
in the Pacific. We belonged to the
family of nations. Our representatives
were to be found in every court. We
had all the machinery of modern gov
ernment, our people were educated
and knew how to vote intelligently.
1t is very different thing from an
neXing a colony of another nation or
capturing a group of savage islands
like the Philippines. Hawaii has a
just claim to the preservation of her
state rights. If the nation is to be
absorbed by the United States, then
it should be admitted to the union,
and the Hawaiians should be granted
the same rights and privileges as are
accorded to any other portion of the
race.
81 have no longer the right to COM
mand my people to oppose American
rule. They are not my subjects now;
they are my people. But | am conf
dent their love and respect for me are
as deep as ever They will do what
| tell them. | know that an active op-
position to annexation will be futile,
and | should be sorry to lead my
people into difficulties. Unless they
take steps of their own accord, | shall
do nothing. If they hold "A great mass
meeting. as is the native custom, and
call upon me by an overwhelming vote
to oppose annexation. ! would, of
course, help them all in my power.
"Some special provision must be
made for the introduction of Asiatic
| labor into the Islands, or else all the
sugar plantations will be ruined. 1t
will never do to stop the coolies COM
ing there altogether. There are
enough coolies on the Islands now to
work the plantations, but if more were
not allowed to come you can see that
the supply would soon run out, and
there would be a great raise in wag-
es. Then it would be impossible to
grow sugar proftably, and the Is
lands would be ruined"

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AND RAPID
TRANSIT COMPANY.
Hawaiian Tramways Company Peti-
ton for Double Track Before the
Supreme Court-Sewall Calls.

The Cabinet met this morning for
the first time since annexation was
consummated, and sessions will be
held from time to time hereafter as
though nothing had happened.
The principal subject under discus
sion today was the articles of incor-
poration of the Rapid Transit Compa-
ny. AS filed these are said to be
very sweeping in their nature, giving
the company the right to engage in
agricultural and mechanical indus
tries, as well as merchandising, in ad-
dition to the business of running
street railways. A member of the
Cabinet said that he thought these ar
ticles of Incorporation would have to
be considerably modified before be-
ing finally approved.
The Executive Council today grant
ed the application of Louis T. Grant
for a liquor license for the Hilo ho-
tel, application for which has been
on file for some time.
Minister Sewall called at the Exc
cutive building this morning and was
closeted with Mr.. Dole for some time.
The application of the Hawaiian
Tramways company for permission to
lay double tracks on their Waikiki and
Punahou routes has been referred by
the cabinet to the supreme court for
an Interpretation of the law bearing
on the right claimed by the company
to lay double tracks, and nothing
more will he done until the supreme
court renders an opinion.

FIRST TERMS OF PEAGAS THE EX0UEEN SEES TT AG|
GROW ENDED
TO MARCH THROUGH MANILA
AFTER MERRITT.
The Present Situation at Manila-A
Gunboat Captured-Astor Battery
Up to the Spanish Lines.

NEW YORK, August A cable to
the Sun dated Cavite, July so (via
Hongkong August ~, says: 1t is be-
lieved that the course that is being
followed by General Merritt, COM
mander of the American military
forces here, will avert the threatened
trouble with the insurgents. He is
taking very firm attitude toward the
rebels, with the result that there is
very material change in the situa-
ton.
Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, in
stead of acting as he did for some
time, as though he was master of the
situation, is now adopting a far more
concilatory attitude. He has asked
the permission of Merritt to march
his troops through the city after the
Americans have captured it. He has
also suggested to Merritt the forma-
tion of native regiments to be COM
manded by American officers.
The Astor battery of mountain ar
tillery. which has arrived here on the
Newport, is now in position before
Malate, short distance from Manila.
The battery is occupying the trench
es from which the insurgents were
withdrawn. 1t is supported by bat
talon of the Third Artillery, acting
as infantry. The battery is within
1000 yards of the Spanish lines.
Fathers Doherty and McKinnon
went to Manila today under a flag of
truce to see the archbishop for the
purpose of impressing on him the fu-
tility of further resistance on the
part of the defenders of the city. The
archbishop wields great influence, but
ii is not known that he can be pre-
vailed upon to prevent the slaughter
that will surely follow the taking of
the city by assault. At the time of
sending this dispatch the American
priests had not returned from their
mission.
NEW YORK, August 3.-A World
cable from Hongl<ong says Numer-
Gus delegations of wealthy and edu-
Gated Philippines have waited upon
Consul Wildman in the last three or
four days to express their anxiety re-
garding the reported attitude of the
President upon the question of an
neXing the Philippines to the United
States. Almost panic was caused
among them by the telegraphic re-

with money on the understanding
that the Philippines should be either
annexed or protected by her.
The powerful Cortes and Dava fam
lilies are sending kilograms to Presi-
dent Mckinley and Senator Hanna
and Secretary of State Day setting
forth that they do not want indepen-
dence of the islands.
The Spanish gunboat Leyte has been
captured by the McCulloch. Her
crew and passengers were starving,
having been driven out of Pampangas
by the insurgents. Ten thousand dol
lars of coin was captured, but the
Spanish sailors were paid the wages
due them.
Manila will surrender in few days
Thousands of Chinese have left the
city for Hongkong.
The transports have arrived with
troops in good health.

TO CAMP AT THE PARK

1t has been decided that the New
York regiment will temporarily camp
inside the race track at Kapiolani
park for two or three days, and the
men and their baggage and tents will
go out there this afternoon. The
place chosen for the permanent camp
is tract of twelve or thirteen acres
owned by VIM. G. Irwin, adjoining and
beyond the old ostrich farm. This
tract is level, high and dry and has
plenty of shade trees. Several days
will be needed to clear off the brush,
and lay water TO the tract, and in the
meantime a temporary camp will be
established inside the race tract. Wa
ter for the temporary camp has al
ready been laid.

barracks for the Honolulu garrison.
The plans for the barracks were pre-

lumber will be required in their con-

WHY NOT BUY A sINGERP

You wan a sewing machine? Then
why not buy a singer; there has been
more of them sold than any other
make. They wear longer, run light
er and do better work than any other
make. They have never been a cut
price machine, the workmanship on
the Singer will not admit of cut pri-
ces. A few dollars in the original
cost between a good machine and a
poor one counts for nothing. B. Ber-

An HAWAIIAN BATTALION
ONE is AUTHORIZED BY THE
PRESIDENT.
Officers to be Nominated by General
Merriam-Organization to be I'm
der Command of Colonel Barber.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 3.-The
question of enlisting Hawaiian troops
as volunteers for Uncle Sans army
was definitely settled yesterday. Ever
since the annexation of the Islands
became fact and Hawaii was made
part of the Department of California,
General Merritt, commanding the de-
partment, thought well of the plan
to take some, if not all, of the Ha-
waiian militia into the volunteer SER
vice. He communicated his views to
the War Department and yesterday
he received favorable reply. The
War Departments reply reads
Washington. d. c., Aug. ?, 1898.
General Merriam, Commanding the
Department of California, San Fran
cisco:
The President directs that if any OF
the military forces of the Hawaiian
Islands desire to become part of
your volunteer army that you are au-
thorized to organize not to exceed
one battalion of infantry, nominating
the officers and causing the officers
and men to be mustered into the SER
vice and have them to report to Col
onel Barber for duty
BY order of the Secretary of War.
II. c. CORBIN,
Adiutant General.
This means an additional 400 men
for Colonel Barber's command In
other words the colonel of the First
New York will have 1000 men under
him, which will entitle him to the
Brigadier Generalship his friends
have been seeking for him.
General Merriam will have the
right to make the following appoint
ments for the proposed battalion. One
major, four captains, four first lieu
tenants. four second lieutenants, one
surgeon and one assistant surgeon.
The general has not vet decided up
on the persons to whom positions will
be given. but it is made known at To-
cal army headquarters that the hon
ors will in great measure 90 to those
who now wear the straps in the Ha-
waiian service
The general will probably visit Hon
olulu in September, and all appoint
ments may be deferred until that

THE COMMANDER.IN-CHlEF.
English Newspaper Expresses Its
Opinion of Mckinley.

as if President Mckinley We're
going to turn out one of the plain
men who are remade and i'll
animated by the force of the
mighty issues with which they
have to deal. All the accounts
from Washington seems to show
that the president is facing a
very difficult problem with just
the quiet dignity and strength
which one would desire to SEQ
displayed by the head of the
state. Like all, or most all,
rulers of men, he is developing
that curious feeling about destiny
which seems a prerogative of
the great kings. The correspond
ent of the Daily Mail tells us,
for example, that the president
cannot be persuaded to take pre-
cautions in regard to the posi-
bility of assassination. On being
reminded of the fate of Presi-
dent Lincoln and Garfield, Mr..
Mckinley said: "'They have
done their work, although they
know it not. If | have finished
mine it makes no difference how
many policemen and guard there
may be around the White House.
That is one of the dangers
voluntarily assumed when | took
office. | have no fears" the presi-
dent, the Daily Mail correspond
ent adds, walks and rides out
daily. THE deep lines of anX-
iety and care are SmoOthed away.
His eve is bright, his step is
brisk and his salutation CHEEKY"
That note of fatalism, coupled
with a true serenity of demeanor,
is very striking. 1t is seldom
that the men who are little at
heart and incapable of taking
big questions in Il big way, are
able to show such an example
of the mems aequa III arduis.
Wordsworth tells us that the
happy warrior is he who, when
called upon to face great issues
is Happy Is a lover: and attired
With sudden liyhtness like Il man in
spred.'
If the accounts We have quoted
are we'll founded, it would seem
that the president has been able
to face the situation in the true
spirit. If he can, America should
be grateful, for in spite of her
vast power, and SpainS weak
ness, America may yet find the
need OF the cool head and steady
hand. There seems u tendency
among the people Of the United
States to call for quick successes.
II this temper continues and III
creaseS, it may require all the
presidents tirnneSS, tact and
temper to persue his own course.
The attempt to gain quick sue
cess is sure to lead to a taSco,
bat it may require a m}n Of per-
feet calm and self-poSseSsion
not to be carried away by the
excitement and the demand for
instant action. Our own belief
is that Mr.. Mckinley will prove
equal to the crisis. and will re-
fuse to allow the country to be
guided by the chatter of the
can'shoW whether we have iudg-
ed or missjudged his character
AT present he is plain country
lawyer with intelligence and a
conscience. who has shown de-
cided promise of capacity to rise
to a great occasion.
