GENERAL OTIS AT HONOLULU.
An Extremely Cordial Reception at
the Hawaiian Co nnitaI

All Extremely Cordial Reception at
the Hawaiian Capital.
San Francisco, Aug. 3-The steamer
Doric, which arrived from Yokohama
and Hong Kong via Honolulu yester-
day, brings the following advices from
Honolulu under date of July 26:
The transports Peru and City Of
Puebla arrived from San Francisco
early on the morning of the 23d. The
voyage was uneventful. There were
no deaths and but little sickness among
the men. Three men with typhoid
were moved from the ship to the local
Red Cross hospital. Since the vessels
arrived the men have been allowed
shore liberty. On the Goth troops were
feasted on the grounds of the execu-
tive building.
President Dole, with his cabinet and
Minister Hatch received Major Gem
eral Otis at the government building.
The garrison and band turned out in
honor Of the visitors. The reception
was of an extremely cordial nature and
lasted longer than such functions usu-
ally do.
General Otis Is uncertain as to his
stay here. 1t Is understood that in the
event OF no orders to the contrary he
Will proceed to Manila without waiting
for Admiral Miller, on the Philadelphia,
and If the other transports arrive with
in day or two, as is expected, it is
not likely that General Otis Will wait
for the warship, much as he and his
force would like to see the flag rais-
ing. According to General Otis Ha-
wall will have no military governor.
Colonel Barber will be post commander
as long as his regiment remains here.
Annexation having been accomplish
ed, the next important consideration
is the cable to the United States.
Speaking Of the prospects of the early
laying, General Hartwell, the local at
torney for the Scrimser company, said;
my information leads me to hope
that congress will make an early dis
position Of the cable bills. Indeed. I
may say the cable promoters have
been assured that the bills would re-
ceive prompt attention."
