debris from the fire is being removed
preparatory to the erection of new
buildings. The First National bank
will erect brick block to replace its
ruined building. The bank vault was

burned have rented vacant store rooms,
and all carpenters in the city are at
work repairing and preparing for new
stocks of goods, which have been or.

Indications are that the greater part

HONOLULU, Aug. 12.-Precisely at eight minutes to 12 o'clock to-day the Hawaiian flag descended from the flag staffs on all the Government buildings and exactly at five minutes to the same hour the stars and stripes fioated on the tropical breeze from every official fla agstaff.
 The ceremony was most impressive one. To hear the strains of Hawaii Ponoi' for the last time as a national emblem, to hear the bugle blow taps as the Hawaiian ensign sank from its position, and to notice the emotion of many who had been born under it and had lived their lives under it, was sol emn. But then came the bright call for raising Old Glory, and the strains of the "Star-Spangled Banner" broke forth as that banner was unfurled to the breeze. Then the cheers broke forth, and eyes that had been dim for a few moments became bright and

ceased and the sun came out and shone upon her. The wind futtered to her side.
 "One! Two. Three," The deep guns boomed out the last salute. "Four Five! Six"-with great walls between, in which the heart beat slowly, and rose fiuttering to the throat. "Eigh- teen! - Nineteen! -Twenty!-TWenty- one!"
 An! Poor Hawaii.
 From the quivering throats of the di- unfinished band came the melancholy strains of Hawaii Ponoi-swan song of the sinking flag. The colors trembled dropped, slipped along the rope. A soft wind stirred the languid folds, lifted the fainting colors, held them still, car ried them upward to trail caressingly against the Palace walls-then let them slip and fall.
 The crumpled scarlet heap lies on the grass beside the Palace steps. Hawaii Ponoi is finished. The plaintive bugle sounds taps over the grave of HaWaii's flag
 The Stars and Stripes mounted to the bugle call-to the cheers of the crowd, to the sudden gay sunlight, to a brisk and stirring breeze, to the triumphant music of The Star-Spangled Banner" by the Philadelphia band. The starry splendor spread wide against the sky. The guns boOmed out the salute-the same salute for quick and dead Americas dominion was declared over the Hawaiian Isles.
 There was something lacking from the cheering, something wanting from the joy. Perhaps before the souls eyes of those who have worked so long and earnestly to this end the ghost of Ha- waii nei walked that instant over Americas s new possessions
