on which tho President based his
Executive Order, restraining tho
Hawaiian Government from sel

Hawaii and cancelling all trans

in the official organ whioh speaks
for the local government:
Washington, Sept. 9, 1899.
To tho President Bir: I have
the honor to acknowledge receipt
by reference from you of a com

the Acting Seoretary of the Into

The letter of the Acting Secretary
is accompanied bv soveml Inilnr.
in tbo nature of protests against
tuo contompiatou action of tne
Hawaiian authorities, and a copy
of tho nronnscd annrlilinnn n( onln
of tho lands reforred to. An in
specfion of the conditions of ealo
indicates that a vory large quan
tity of land, in CO -acre lots, was to
bo disposed of on Saturday, Sap.
lomoer z, Law, at tne riilo Court
house, and that it is the under
standing of the authorities that
they can convey to suoh purchas
ers a good and valid title to any
and all lands that may be 'bold in
aosordance with thn nrlvAi-tiand
conditions.
I have given attentive consider

these papers, and have no hesita

ficersoftbo existing Government
in said Islands havo no authority
to Bell or otherwise dispose of the
publio lands in tho Hawaiian Ibl

agieement to sell will be absolute

Government of the United States.
It is only necessary to refer to
tho language of tho resolution and
to the well understood principles
of publio law whioh govern tho
Bubject of territory cedad by one
Government to another to reach
the easy conclusion that the pub
lio lands in the Hawaiian Islands

resolution of cession, becamo the
property of the United States, and
could thereafter bo disposed of
only in accordance with such
speoial laws as Congress might
thereafter onaot. Tho preamble
of "the resolution declares:
"Whereas the Government of
tho Republio of Hawaii having,

in tho manner provided by its

Dreyfus Accepts toe Situation In kindly
Spirit.
Gltd to Be fullered of the Terrible Tension of
Years but Still Asserts His Inno
cence tiring Qufetlj.
London, Sept. 22. A corres
pondent of the Daily Mail who
joined the Dreyfus party at Bor
deaux, and accompaniod them to
Carpontras, described Dreyfus as
"thoughtful, prematuroly aged,
with a soft oye, a smilo liko a
woman's, and rather the appear
ance of a savant than a soldiei."
When told of the great wave of
British sympathy in his behalf,
be wrung tho correspondent's
band and showed tke deepest
emotion. Hihnaltb, the corres
pondent says, is far from satisfac
tory. He ate meat yesterday for
the first time. "It is acaimt the
doctor's orders," said M. Mathieu
DreyfnB. "Ah," aaid the for
mer Captain, "let mo havo a holi
day today. I will bo aedate and
obediont again tomorrow. I am
like a a boy jutt now. I feel that
I could run and jump about tho
green fields for vory joy. Just
think, I ahall now be able tolangb
and play with my children in the
boautiful country."
After tho meal despite his
brothers half-laughing protest, ho
Btnokod several cigars, "to cele
brate tho holiday."
Tho sad note amid tho rejoicings
was the doath of M. Soheurer
Kestnor. "I am riuved beyoud
words," said Droyfus, "Jo think
that I shall never bo able to thank
that noblo heart." Ono of his first
acts on obtaining bis freedom was
to havo a wreath sent to bo placed
on -tho coffin of bis champion and
tnenu.
At present be speaks littlo of
past events. Ho says: "I havo
forgiven, but I cannot forget,"
and ho intends to devote himself
to proving his innocence. When
that has beon accomplished ho
will only ask to be allowed to
spend tho romaindor of his days
with bis loved ouoi, far from tho
busy world. "His delicbt at
everything," oontinuos the corres
pondent, "on our journey, was
that of a man running from the
dead to tho world he loved. Tho
affection and solicitude of bis
brother are touohine to see. His
Shysical weakness causes the
eepest apprehension of his
mends. The journey was in the
main unevontful, excopt for a few
expressions of disappointment on
tbo part of people who endoavorod
to get a glimpse of him."
WHAT CAPT. KINO WAYH.
Referring to tbo proclamation
regarding the publio lands of Ha
waii Ministei King had tho fol
lowing to say this morning:
"A lot of ,t rouble will bo occa
sioned by tho proclamation. I
cannot seo why instructions wero
not sent before this Iato date. Of
courao thero will have to bo a lot
of land takon back by tho gov
ernment.
"However, thero aro ca:es whioh
I do not believe tho proclamation
covers. As an oxamplo, I will site
some of tbo Olaa lands on whioh
tbo new plantation now stands. It
was long boforo tbo Nowlands Re
solution was passed that the first
arrangements wero mado and, al
though those wore not perfected
until after the passago of tbo reso

proclamation will affect theso or

ranged for in a similar manner.
