ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.
with his cabinet and Minister Hatch,
received Major-General Otis and his
-taffatthe government bnilding yester
day morning. The garrison and band
turned out in honor of the visitors. The
reception was of an extremely cordial
nature.
General Otis is uncertain as to his stay
here. It is understood he has discretion
in the event of no orders to the contrary
to prooceed to MaDila without waiting
for Admiral Miller, of the Philadelphia,
and if the other transports arrive within
a day or two as expected, it is not likely
General Otis will wait for. the warahip,
much as he and his force would like to
see tbe flag go up. According to Otis,
Hawaii will have no military governor.
Colonel Barber will be post commander
as long as bis regiment remains there;
that is all.
Minister Sewall has received no word
of what action President McKinley will
take with regard to the temporary ad
ministration of the islands. , Admiral
Miller, ho has been officially informed,
will bring ' full instructions as to the
formalities which will be observed in
effecting the change of sovereignty.
General Otis does not look for the arri
val of tbe Philadelphia carrying tbe ad-
mlral, until the 3d or 4th of August.
' Sewall thinks the trasports due here
shortly will very likely bring news of the
determination reached by tbe president
for tbe government of fie islands.
