from irresponsible sources.
1t was also stated that the report that
Loucks. the head Of the Chicago Virden

Secretary Days response, through II.

SEich Spain declares embodied ac-
Quiescence in her reservation of Phs-
ippire sovereignty from discussion in
the peace commission, says in part.
Under the circumstances it is consid
cred that the most certain way OF
avoiding misunderstanding is 10 en-
body in a protocol to be signed by US as
the representatives respectfully of the
United States and of Spain the terms
on which the negotiations for peace are
to be undertaken. I therefore enclose
herewith the draft of such a protocol.
in which you will find I have embodied
the precise terms rendered 10 Spain in
my note OF the SOth ultimo."
The Americans hold that Spain saw
that Philippine sovereignty was in
vOlyed in the basis of peace laid down
ed reservation of Aug. is evidence
thereof. The suspension of hostiities
was deferred because of this fact. y
protocol in precise terms was demanded
because Of this fact. ard CambOn cabled
Madrid on the same day of Secretary
Days response that the federal govern
ment had decided to state precisely in
the protocol the basis upon which peace
must be negotiated.
1t was only when the United States
regarded Spain as having made an I'M
qualified compact to leave Philippine
sovereignty to n commission by sign
ing the protocol that hOstilities were
suspended. 1t was not designed by the
United States to prejudice Spain's
rights, but to have them determined un-

To maintain the obstruction in
place after its formal condemnation
is practically unarmed civil war and
rebellion against the constituted
authorities; although in our present
inchoate condition it is difficult to
know who are the constituted auth
critics" or one point in the argu-
ment we are pretty sure, and that
one is that the people have no

has not yet received any "official"
notice OF the war, and that he can
take no decisive step until he hears
from Minister Sewal and Minister
Hatch. The Spanisrds are not very
particular in regard to such nice
points OF diplomacy, and If one or
two Spanish cruisers should arrive
here tomorrow, they may not listen
to Mr.. Dole's explanations but pro-
coed to treat us as an outpost of the

La the meantime Hawaii stands in a
very dangerous position, and immedi-
ate action ON the part of the admin-
istration is needed to save us from
the disasters Of the war. President
Dole must at once declare the neu-
trality of Hawaii to the world. The
people here who have properties
and families cannot afford to submit
to lingo policy which may mean
ruin to all. Hawaii cannot assist
the United States. If the islands
were annexed, they would be dan
gerous outpost.

cannot move them.

The United States has considered
the annexation of Hawaii for many
months. Its Senatdahas been in pos
session of the treaty ratified by our
Senate, and hasn't done a thing to
it. The question Of annexation has
been shelved during the serious con-
ditions which now face America,
and the prospects of seeing the Am
erican flag flying here have become
nil.

islands to the United States, and as
far as we are concerned. makes this
country an integral part of the
great American Republic.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-06

1t is unsesmly to confess that the

pernicious to the progress Of the
republic.

their lots, during the war, with tho
United States, let them do so at
their own risk, but let the protest
of the people be heard all over the
civilized world in their claim for
neutrality. Mr.. Dole knows that

two powers, and yet he tolerates

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-06

The Spanish Government may
consider the present relations be-
tween America and Hawaii in a
light which makes US territory de
facto, if not yet de jatre, of the United
States, and the Spanish Pacific fleet
may treat us as such, to our sorrow
and serious discomfort. The superb
GRITTY of the Spanish fleet near the
Philippines over the American Ash
ATTIC squadron is acknowledged by all
naval authorities in the States and
Europe. If Hawaii is to be treated
as American territory, the Spanish
will hail such proposition with
JOY, and the flag of the Dons will
soon fly over the coal bunkers and
banks in Honolulu, in spite of our
