Stevens Establishes a Protectorate
Ban Francisco Cal. Feb. 9 —The
anxiously expected steamer Aussralia
arrived at the heads at an early hour
this morning with news that Minister
Stevens had established a protector-
ate over the Hawaiian Islands. The
act was executed at 9 o'clock on
the morning of the first inst.
when the stars and stripes were
raised over Aliulani Hall and
the minister issued the following:
proclamation which was published
officially:
“February 1 1893.
“To the Hawaiian People:
“A t the request of the provisional
government of the Hawaiian Islands
I hereby in the name of the United
States of America assume the protec-
tion of the Hawaiian Islands tor the
protection of life aad property and
occupation of public buildings and
Hawaiian soil so far as may be neces-
sary for the purpose as speci-
fied but not interfering with
the administrtion of public af-
fairs by the provisional government
this action pending and subject to
negotiations at Washington.
John L. Stevens
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenopotentiary.
Approved and executed by G. C.
Willze captain of the U. S. navy
commanding United States’ Steamer
Boston.
The Honolula Commercial Adver-
tiser discussing the protectorate es-
tablished by Minister Stevens says:
Buch action was rendered necessary
by incessant agitation of a certain
class of whites coupled with the
efforts of one of the English and
one; or two of the native Jpapers to
discredit the government to block its
efforts towards the establishment of
order and in general to bring it into
disrespect and contempt spreading
through the town a feeling of uu-
easiness and disquietude. The rais-
ing of the American flag does not in-
dicate cession to the United States
but is merely a guarantee that order
will be maintained uutil a decision is
arrived at by the United Stated gov-
ernment. The event of the morning
is hailed with joy throughout the
community.
This morning news was brought of
the death by drowning at Hawaii of
Miss Stevens the eldest daughter of
American minister resident. Flags on
all consulates are now flying at half
mast.

place and there are rumors of many
changes of importance. In fact it is

work in league affairs is to resign
and his place will be taken by
either Charles H. Byrne of the
Brooklyn club or by Postmaster
Van Cott of New York. John
Ward the famous second baseman
and Mike Kelley the “king” are
both anxious to secure positions on

cured. Manager Powers will proba-
bly be retained and will be given
greater powers than he had last year.
