The Hawaiian band played Hawaii
Poioi," the national anthem. Colonel
Fisher gave the order to the national
guard battery, stationed on the ex-
ecutive grounds, in command of Lieu
tenant Ludwig, to fire the national
salute OF twenty-one guns, which was
also repeated by the Philadelphia.
As the echo OF the last gun rever-
berated in the hills, bugle sounded
and the national ensign of Hawaii
came slowly down until it reached
the ground never to 90 uu again.
There was short pause, and then
the admiral nodded slightly to Lieu
tenant Winterhalter, who gave the or
der, "Colors. roll Off" The flagship
band struck up the well known
strains of the Star Spangled BAN
ner," and as the stars and stripes
| slowly ascended there was breathless
suspense.
But as it reached the top cheers
broke forth from the crowds below
and salutes OF twenty-one guns were
again fired by the Hawaiian battery
and the Philadelph'i.
A few minutes after the hoisting OF
the official flag, others were raised
from the two side towers and from
the military headquarters.
Minister Sewal then read q procla.

The powers of the minister of for

relate to diplomatic Intercourse be-
tween Hawaii and foreign nations.
The municipal legislation of Ha.

force until the congress Of the United
States shall otherwise determine.
Following the reading of the proc
lamation Minister Sewall made an adj

Hawaii upon the accomplishment Of
annexation.

This appeal was made direct to the

direct from an insurance company

ed to put $3.50 into the general pool

that $4,000 was thus raised from in
surance companies, and turned over
to Morills agent. I assume that
the Leavenworth Times and other re
publican papers must know about
this contribution. for knowledge of
this free will offering certainly would
be the only incentive for republican
papers to ay to the rescue of the in
surance combine and denounce a
superintendent who proposes to en-
force the laws of the state and make
these companies pay their honest
losses.
And then this earnest espousal of
the cause of the combine at this par

war against Spain they could not count
upon the approval of any of the European
powers. All, it alleges, would sympathize
with Spain if not actively. certainly by
categorical protest against President Nc

notify the Washington Government of

such general censure and will not allow
