Hawaii Under Our Flag Protectorate News from San Francisco
News reports that on February 1 the United States under Minister Stevens assumed protectorate over Hawaii. The Boston fired a salute as the Star and Stripes rose over Honolulu, with Stevens stating protection for Hawaiian property and public buildings while not meddling with provisional government. The move sparked debate in Congress and surprise at State Department as dispatches clarified no formal instruction from Washington. Provisional Government volunteers grow, and nations from Japan to the Netherlands recognize the new de facto government amid mixed reactions.
