AFFAIR NOT AS ELABORATE AS PLANNED
Arrangement * Completed for Cere-
mnnle * Attending- Ratification of
Annexation Will Hate to
Come OS AngtiHt 12.
SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. 20. The steamer
Glenfarg has brought the following advices :
HONOLULU , Aug. 11. Tomorrow will be
an eventful day In the history of Hawaii.
At fifteen minutes before noon the formal
ratifications between the governments of
the United States and Hawaii , by which
the New land's annexation resolution will
be made operative , will take place. With
the exchange of ratification and the holst-
Ing'of the flag the sovereignty of the United
Statea over these Islands commences and the
republic of Hawaii becomes past history.
The date and tlmo was arranged after
several conferences had been held between
United States Minister Sewall and the Ha
waiian government.
The dnlay In raising the flag caused much
dissatisfaction In this community. The
public was led to believe that the Ameri
can fla * would be raised Immediately upon
the arrival of Admiral Miller. The Phil
adelphia came In on the 23d ult. Soon after
Its arrival It was given out that the flag
would not b * raised at once , but for good
reasons the important event must wait for
several days. Time passed and yet no In
formation could be secured from official
sources , so the people commenced guessing
and with the aid of the local papers fixed
Tuesday , August 9 , as the day for the cere
mony. Finally the government was pre
vailed upon to give some Information and
It was announced that Friday , the 12th ,
would see the flag raised. In the meantime
the people became passive and It Is doubt
ful , In the light of recent developments ,
If the hoisting of Old Glory will be the
enthusiastic auccesi It was expected to be.
Dole and Cabinet Hlaraed .
President Dole and his cabinet are
blamed for throwing cold water on the
ardor of the cltlz'ens , but it Is only fair testate
state that they place the responsibility with
Minister Sewall. When Admiral Miller ar
rived the Hawaiian government announced
that they wished the event to be made an
Impressive and memorable one. To that
end arrangements were made to have
proper exercises and a large chorus was ar
ranged for. Preparations went on until the
Sth , when a delegation of the Annexation
club called on the executive to ascertain , to
what extent the local organizations would
be permitted to participate In the ceremo
nies. They were given to understand that
the hoisting of the flag would be an en
tirely official affair ; that the details would
be settled later on at a conference between
Minister Sewall , Admiral Miller and Min
ister Cooper , until the cloae of which noth
ing could be promised.
Minister Cooper said that the arrange
ments to be carried out were entirely of
an official nature and that there would be
no additions to the program allowed In the
shape of literary exercises , singing , etc.
This Information did not have a tendency
to please the representatives of the annexa
tion party and President Dole and his cabi
net were roundly scored by the members
'f the party and their newspaper organ.
The next day , It was given out that the
ceremony would last but fifteen minutes
nd would consist of the playing of the
Hawaiian national anthem by the band , sa
luting the Hawaiian flag with twenty-one
guns by the Philadelphia battery and the
hauling down of the flag. This would be
followed by the reading of President Mc-
Klnley's proclamation and then the stars
and atrlpes would be floated to the breeze
nd saluted.
The announcement of the program caused
a storm of Indignation and it became nec
essary for the people In power to modify
their plans and allow the public to take
some part in the exercises. Yesterday It
was decided , after the formal ceremony , to
allow some congratulatory exercises , Includ
ing the singing of patriotic songs. Minister
Sewall. L. A. Thuraton and F. M. Hatch will
all deliver addresses.
Chance * In Gorerament.
The town la full of rumors as to what will
happen after the flag Is raised. It has been
stated In a positive manner that United
States Minister Sewall would be proclaimed
acting governor and President Dole would
step down and out ; that other official
changes would be made which would in
clude the retirement of William O. Smith.
the attorney general , his place to be taken
by Paul Neumann , formerly Queen Llllou-
kalanl's attorney.
It Is unlikely , however , that there will be
changes. On the contrary. President Dole
will remain at the head of affairs aa chief
executive until congress provides for his
successor. The only change will be the re
tirement of H. E. Cooper , the minister of
foreign affairs. Ministers S. M. Damon and
James A. King will remain at the finance
and Interior offices respectively.
Minister Sewall will remain in Honolulu
aa an attache of the State department. It is
necessary to hve a man here for the reason
that the Hawaiian government has given up
the legation at Washington. Attorney Gen
eral Smith will remain In office until after
the commission has framed laws for the fu
ture government of Hawaii. The govern
ment has given notice that all employes
must appear tomorrow afternoon and take
the oath of allegiance to the United States.
The Hawaiian political societies filed a , pro
test against annexation on the 6th.
Tbo protest says In part :
Protect Atcalnnt Annexation.
Whereas , The senate and house of rep
resentatives of the United States have pass > d
a Joint resolution for the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands , and such Joint resolution
has not been passed upon by the people of
Hawaii , nor by their representatives In leg
islature assembled , and ,
Whereaa , By memorial the people of Ha
wall have protested against the consumma
tion of any Invasion of their political rights
and have frequently appealed to the pies-
ident , congress and the people of the United
States to refrain frcm further participation
In the wrongful annexation of Hawaii ; and ,
Whereas , The declaration of American in
dependence expresses that governments derive
rive their ju t powers from the consent of
the governed ; therefore , be It
Resolved , That as tha representatives of
a large body of native Hawaltans , we sol
emnly protebt against annexation in the
manner proposed and without reference to ,
or obtaining the consent of , the people of the
Hawaiian Islands ; and
Resolved , That a copy of these resolutions ,
with an English translation , be forwarded
to Sanfard B , Dole , president of the republic
of Hawaii , and to the agents representing
William McKinley. president of the United
States , at Honolulu.

SCENES AROUND PONCE CAMP
Over Half of Southern Count of Porto
Rico Ahiiolutely Under United
State * * Control.
( Correspondence of the Associated Press. )
PONCE , Porto Rico. Aug. 20. Nearly two
weeks have elapsed since the first troops of
tha American Invading array landed at
Guanlca and in that time , almost without
a shadow of resistance or opposition on the
part of the Spaniards , more than half of the
southern coast of Porto Rico has come ab
solutely under the control of the United
States military authorities.
The main force at this point is now en
camped about a mile and a half east of
town and about four miles from the Porto
Ponce. The harbor Is filled with transports
and the unloading of cargoes proceeds all
day long. Lighters , laden with horses ,
mules and provisions , as well as ammuni
tion and all kinds of army equipments , are
constantly passing from the steamers to the
shore. Great piles of boxes , contalnlns
stores of every description , occupy the
wharves and warehouses.
Alon r the four miles of road from the
part to the camp an endless train of mule
teams and ox carts passes during the hours
of daylight , and the never ceasing cloud of
dust slows how the work of transporting
storon and ammunition Is progreslang.
The road Is an excellent one , but no rain
of any consequence has fallen since the
army arrived and the constant travel of
the heavy teams and hundreds of animals
has ground the surface Into a flne piking
dual , which Is the more Intolerable , owlnz j
to the blazing August sun , whose rays pour
down upon the sweltering men and beasts.

Ings and nights are cool and delightful.
Nothing but American sentiment Is heard
on the streets or In the cafes. Everywhere
the soldier , officer or private is king. The
American tlag Hies from a hundred staffs ;
red , white and blue ribbons nutter from the
costumes of Porto Rico's charming daugh
ters and everywhere and at all times cries
of. "Long live America" greet the ears of
passing soldiers.
Away from the heat and dust of the town ,
out beyond the limits of the main camp ,
and along both sides of the military road ,
lies a country rich and beautiful. Hills and
valleys are covered with green. Here and
there are streams of water , along whose
b.inks are groups of shade trees. Hundreds
of acres of cane are In view all the time ,
and from every plantation rises the tall
brick chimney of the sugar mill. There is
no bitins frost of New England or wind
swept Kansas nor Nebraska prairie nor
barren plains of Arizona or New Mexico.
It Is a land which the American farmer
could turn Into a veritable "Garden of the
Lord. "

WASHINGTON , Aug. 20. The State de

Consul Thomson at Progresso , Mexico , |
stating that General Pando. the S.nanUh I
general , second In command to Blanco , had I
arrived Incognito at Progreaso yesterday on (
tbo Mexican steamer Catnpechc. The con- !
ul says General Fando seeks to eater HR- [
vana or Dattabano , Cuba , on the British
steamer Guiltenno Lohese.
When last heard of General Pando was al
leged to be In command of the Spanish
forces at Manzanlllo , near Santiago , and at j
that time It was asserted at Havana that
he was still there. At the cessation of hos
tilities there appears to be no reason why
ho should not go to Havana or Databano.
