THE PROGRAM ARRANGED
HOW THE FLAG RAISING is TO
BE CELEBRATED.
Naval and Military Parade Literary
Exercises at the Government Build
ing-Fireworks, Reception, Dance.

The committee of the Annexation
Club met the Executive Council this
morning and arranged the following
program of exercises for the day of
the flag raising, subject of course to
change to suit the wishes of Admiral
Miller in the matter.
1t was first decided that fully "a
hours notice of the flag raising should
be given, so that the ceremony in any
event will not take place until the
day following the arrival of the Phi
ladelphia.
In the morning there will be "A
combined military and naval parade,
consisting of battalions from the war
ships and the full strength of the
National Guard of Hawaii. If the
transports are in port the troops will
also be asked to join. The members
of the G.. A. r. and the Sharpshooters
have volunteered, and the fire depart
ment is also more than anxious to pa
rade In addition many private socie-
ties will doubtless turn out, and all
such are requested to send delegates
to meet the executive committee at
noon tomorrow at the Chamber of
Commerce. The Citizens Guard will
not march in the parade, but will be
present in body at the ceremony.
mony.
After parading the principal streets
the procession will march to the gov
ernment building, on the steps of
which will be grouped President Dole
and his Cabinet. Admiral Miller and
Staff, Minister Sewall and other dig
nitaries. The literary exercises will
take place here, first in order being
the singing of patriotic songs and
choruses. President Dole will then
deliver short address, after which
Hawaii Ponoi will be sung and a sa-
lutte of 21 guns fired, at the close of
which the Hawaiian flag will be low
cred for the last time.
Preceding the raising of the Anne
rican flag the audience will be asked
to join in singing the Star Spangled
Banner" to the music of the band.
Old Glory will be flung to the breeze,
and Immediately saluted by another
21 guns. Should President Mckinley
send any proclamation, as it is more
than likely he will. it will be read
previous to the raising of the flag.
Minister Sewall has been invited to
make a short address following the
salute of the flag he represents, and
will probably accept. If Lorrin A.
Thurston shot, return in time, he
| will be asked to close this portion of
the ceremony with a short Grafton.
Following this will come flag pre-
sentation to the First Regiment of the
| Hawaiian National Guard. President
Dole has in his possession the origi-
nal silk flag used by the Boston's bat
| talon in 1898, and will present this to
the First Regiment with appropriate
| ceremonies.
At 1880 in the evening there will he
ar elaborate display of fireworks. The
| Government will illuminate the Exc.
ecutive Building to an extent nevel
| before attempted, and in addition viii
give reception to be followed by &
| grand ball.
Many other details of the days
ceremonies have yet to be arranged
but the above embodies the principa
events of day, the most important
of any in Hawaiian history.

ALTERATIONS TO BE FINISHED
IN SHORT ORDER.
Special Sewers Being Constructed to-
Tide Water-Assertion That the
Place is Damp Contradicted.

. Lucas Bros. have been awarded the
contract for making alterations nee
essary to convert Independence Park
pavilion into a United States hospital,
and they have just three weeks in
which to complete the job. The
building will not be raised as at first
contemplated, but large windows are
being put in all round it. In fact the
sides will be composed of little else
than glass when finished. Several
glass sky lights are to be put in the
roof as well, so that there will be an
abundance of light and air, the two
main requisites for hospital. The
contractors have fully twenty-five
men at work today and it is going on
with a rush.
Ample provision is being made for
A complete sewerage system. Senator
Wright having agreed to put in an
Independent sewer from the building
to tide water distance of $50 feet.
This will be of wood and closed and
will be completed this week.
The ward for contagious diseases
will be in a separate building, 25X60
feet, to be erected in the rear of the
main hospital. a.s.

PROBABLE TERMS OF PEACE.

The following, according to the
London Daily News, gathered from a
German source, are the views of
Spain with regard to a basis for su-
ing for peace. They have been put
forth tentatively by the Spanish gov
ernment among the European powers,
with the desire of learning the
views of the United States:
First-The independence of Cuba.
Second-That Cuba pay tribute to
Spain for twenty years.
Third-That Spain keep small
garrison at a small port during that
period,
Fourth-That other powers be enti-
tied to maintain small bodies of
troops on the island for the protec-
ton of their own subjects.
Fifth-That the Philippines be de-
clared Independent of tribute, and
that the Spanish occupation of one is
land be permanent.
SiXth-That Porto Rico be occupied
by the United States as a pledge for
the punctual payment of indemnity,
and that the island be evacuated af-
ter Spain shall have fulfilled her obli-
cations.

ANNIS MONTAGUE.
Scores a Patriotic Success at Macdon-

At the great entertainment held in
Oakland July 4th, Mrs. Annis Mon
tague Turner, Hawaii's great singer,
carried the audience at Macdonough' S
theater off their feet with her rem
dering of columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean," The applause was vociferous
and many people, perfect strangers,
came behind the scenes to compliment
Mrs. Turner upon her success. Mr..
Benham, the leader of the choir of
the Christian Endeavor, and musical
director of the Congregational church,
said it was the finest rendition of the
song he had ever heard.
Mrs. Turner was introduced to the
audience as a Daughter of Hawaii and
the very name called for cheers. This
gifted lady is shortly to appear in San
Francisco as the principal singer at q
monster entertainment i'm aid of the
Red Cross. Hawaii supplies America
now her own country, with a sweet

THE STOCK MARKET.
The Prices Asked are Too High for
Local Buyers.

A prominent stock broker was ask
ed this morning to give his views on
the situation as affected by the news
of annexation. The answer was that
general stitfening of prices had ta-
ken place all along the line. Holders
were asking prices entirely beyond
the limit of local buyers and conse-
quently sales were virtually at a
standstill. The broker concluded by
saying that he did not look for much
speculation in stocks until new men
with fresh capital came into the mar
ket who would be satisfied with a
lower rate of interest on their invest
ment than the present holders of SUI
gar securities.

GOOD USE TO PUT LEGISLATIVE
APPROPRIATION TO.
Why Not Take the $4,000 Allowed for
State Entertainments to Swell the
Fund-Have a Good Reception.

The Legislature of 1896 appropriat-
ed the sum of $4,000 for state ceremo-
nies, about one-third of which was
used during the biennial period. The
Legislature which has just adjourned
also appropriated the same sum, but
for the dual purpose of state ceremo-
nies and entertainment.
One of the complaints made against
the present regime has been its par
simony in the matter of giving IN
tertainments. With the two eXcep-
tions of the public reception at the
Opera House to Captain Wiltse and
later the reception to the officers of
the U. S. s. Boston, just previous TO
their departure after the stirring
events of 1893, and for both of which
the expenses were largely, # not
wholly, paid by the anneXationists.
there has been no public entertain
ment of a national character under
the present government.
1t has been suggested that this ap-
preparation of $4,000 cannot be put TO
a better purpose than in giving a
state reception to Admiral Miller On
the occasion of the flag raising, to he
followed by state ball and supper.
The government has never done any
thing for the public in this respect,
and it now has a chance to turn i's"iG
loose.
