FLAG OVER HAWAII.
The Islands Are Made a Part of
the United States.
August 12 II Now a Historic Date—-
Minister Sewn" Accepts the
Transfer—An Impressive
Ceremony.
San Francisco, Aug. 23.—~—The steam-
er Belgia brought the following:
Honolulu, Aug. 12.——Preciscly at eight
minutes to 12 o’clock to-day the Hawaiian
flag descended from the flagstaffs on all
the government buildings, and at exactly
five minutes to the same hour the stars
and stripes floated on the tropical breeze
from every official flagstatf.
An hnpreuslve Ceremony.
The ceremony was a most impressive
one. To hear the strains of “Hawaii
Ponci" for the last time as a national on-
them: to hear the bugle blow taps a the
Hawaiian enslgn sank f om its position,
and to notice the emotion of many who had
been born under it and had lived their lives
under it, was solemn. But then came the
bright call for-the raising of 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 min-
utes became bright and lightened up when
the stars and stripes blew out.
Proceedings in Detail.
The ceremonies began with the departure
of the First regiment of the national
guard of Hawaii from their shed at ten
minutes to ten in the morning. The parade
was headed by a detachment of police,
under command of Capt. Kane and Lleut.
Warren. Then came the Hawaiian band
and the drum corps.
The regiment marched to the boat land-
Ing to escort the troops from the Philadel—
phia and Mohlcan, which were already
drawn upon shore. The United States
forces were commanded by Lieutenant
Commander Stevens, and consisted of one
company of marines and two of blue jack-
ets from the Philadelphia, a company of
blue jackets from the Mohican and an ar-‘
tillery detachment of two guns and 42
men. The naval detachment was headed
by the fiagship's band.
At the Stand.
Several hundred citizens' guard preceded
the troops up the main avenue and took a
station on the left of the stand. The po-
lice deployed on either side of the avenue.
The Hawaiian band took up a poaition on
the right of the platform, and the Philadel-
phia, band ontthe left. The First battalion
of the Havvailan regiment occupied the im-
mediatcficft of the stand, and the Second
battalion was on the right.
The United States troops were stretched
across the avenue in double file, the ma-
rines being in front.
“0n the right. of the main steps were the

The flag itself was in charge of G. H.
Platt, gunner-’9 mate of the Philadelphia,
and R. Winters, boatswain’s mate of the
Mohlcan. These are the men who actually
raised the stars and stripes over Hawaii.

national salute of 2! sum, which was also
repeated by the Philadelphia. As the echo
‘ol the last, gun reverberated in the hills 1
bugle sounded, and the national ensign of
Hawaii came slowly dowumntil it reached
the ground, never to go up main. -
-’ inns: and Stripes Go; Up.
Therewau a. shorc‘pause, and then the
admiral nodded slightly to Lleut Winter-
halter, who save thebrder: “Colors, roll
off." The flagship band struck up the well-
kncvm strains or “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 21 guns Were again fired by the Hawaiian
battery and the Philadelphia.
, A few mihutes after the hoisting of the
Official flag others were raised from two
side tOWers and the military headquar-
rs.
“2 A Proclumnuon.
Minister Sewall then read a proclamation
stating that President McKinley directs
that the civil, Judicial and military powers
of the government shall continue to be ex-
ercised by the officers of the republic of
Hawaii; All such officers will be required
to take the oath of allegiance to the United-
States and renew their hands to the United
States government.
The powsrs of the minister of foreign a1-
fairs will cease, so far as they relate to
diplomatic intercourse between Hawaii
and foreign nations.
The municipal legislation of Hawaii and
the existing customs regulations will prac.
tically remain in force until the congress
of the United States shall otherwise de-
termine.

Interference in Government’s Plan-
Won’t Be Tolerated—Military
Conunilnionn Named.
Washington, Aug, 17.-—The war de~
partment late Tuesday afternoon
posted the following reply to an in~
quiry from Maj. Gen. Lawton, com»
mending the department of Santiago,
for instructions as to the policy to be
observed toward the Cubans that are
within his military department:
“Commanding General, Department of
Santiago, Santiago de Cuba: Replying to
your message for instructions. the presi-
dent directs that you be informed that the
United States is responsible for peace and
must maintain order in the territory sur-
rendered and in your department. and must
protect all persons and their property with-
in said jurisdiction. Interference from any
quarter will not be permitted. The Cuban
insurgents should be treated Justly and lib-
erally, but they, with all others, must rec—
ognize the military occupation and authorl~

hostilities proclaimed by this government.
You should see the- insurgeat leaders and
so advise them.

The war department did not make
public the dispatch from Gen. Lawton
relative to the Cubans in Santiagy, but
the order which Gen. Corbin sent to.
Gen. Lawton indicates something of its
nature. Gen. Lawton reports that the
Cubans are encamped about the city,
and do not seem disposed to accept the
conditions imposed by the armistice,
and some troubles have occurred. Sec-
retary Alger, in speaking of the mat-

understood that the United States
would control the surrendered ten-11
SPAIN’S POSITION.
Capitulation of Manila Mult Have No
Eflect in the Peace Negotiation.
Unfavorable to Her.
Madrid, Aug. 20.-——-The government
has resolved to insist that the capitals-
tion of Manila after the signing of the
protocol should have no effect in the
peace negotiations unfavorable to
Spain.
In any event the government holds
that the capitulntion, having been
signed by the commander of the town,
does not entail the surrender of the
whole of the Philippines.

property. It is also a question what to do

“Regarding Manila, I consider its sur-
render null and void, since it was made
after signing the protocol. The Paris con-
ference will settle this, and also arrange
commercial treaties by which Spanish goods
may obtain tariff advantages in Cuba and
Puerto Rico in exchange for similar advan-
tages being given the Americans in the
Philippines.”
It is hinted that Spain may ask in-
demnity for the cession of property
and railroads in Cuba and Puerto Rico.
