Washington, ID. c., June 2.-The naval
officials now calculate that Hawaii has
become an ally of the United States gov
eminent i'm the present war with Spain
and that at this moment our government
is responsible for the protection of the
Hawaiians from the consequences of
their friendship for us. According to the
calculations of the officials of the Navy
Department, the United States cruiser
Charleston arrived at Honolulu last
night (Sundayl. She has probably com
pleted the task of coaling and is now
again ON her way westward, bound for
the Philippines.
The coal was accumulated at Honolulu
by Il. $. Consul General Haywood, and,
in allowing the Charleston to take ON a
supply TO carry on operations against
Spanish territory, the government of
Hawaii has cast away all semblance of
neutrality in the present contest and has
thrown in her fortunes with the United
States. for unless we protect her she
is subject to punishment at the hands
of Spain Moreover the offense against
neutrality is to be repeated for it is eX-
pected to-day the advance guard of the
transports carrying troops to Manila are
entering Honolulu harbor to replenish
their coal supply.
