Hawaii May Allow Us to Raise tn

Hawaii May Allow Us to Raise the
the Stars and Stripes.
San Francisco. May 1.-THE Ha-
waiian government will not proclaim
neutrality. This stand Ia taken on &C.
count Of the existing relations between
the United States and Hawaii. The ex.
ecutive considers that q proclamation
Of neutrality would be q breach OF
good faith. The government made
known its position on May . at a Sc.
cret session of the senate. It Is under
stood that the senators favored the
stand taken by President Dole.
Another important matter consider
ed at the session was the occupation
bill. which, II ratified by the senate. will
allow the United States to raise the
American flag over the island and use
the same as a base Of supplies. This
measure is said to have been prepared
with the knowledge Of the members Of
the senate committee on foreign affairs
and has had the approval Of President
Mckinley. This bill was, received by
the Hawaiian government q short time
age. and has had the careful attention
Of President Dole and his cabinet.
The members of the senate question.
ed the executive regarding the fore.
going measure. They were informed
that the measure was under considera.
tion, and that II would be unwise to
make It public at this time, When the
bill 10 given to the senate that body
win ratify II at once. On this point
there does not seem to be any doubt.
1t was extensively reported In the
business community on the 7th that
Spain. through agents In Hawaii. wa.
buying all the coal to be had in the
i6land. The consul for Spain denied
this. That a coal famine Is imminent
there can hardly be any doubt. Only
one house has any coal for sale. and
will only consent to sell In quantities
to satisfy immediate demands.
United States Consul General Hay.
wood has been watching the situation
closely. and has strongly fortified Amer
ica's position. He has $500 tons Of coal
on hand at the present time. with two
cargoes afioat bound for Honolulu. In
a few days the United States will have
