Mr. Stevens to Mr. Foster.

[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
Honolulu, February 8, 1893.

The affairs of state continue to be hopeful. Hoisting flag in protection of this Government was expected. Subjects who were doubtful, now for annexation. The natives showed unexpected regard of the United States flag. Prudent conduct of Capt. Wiltse, the officers and crew of the Boston, credit to the Navy. Can not send by mail.

Stevens.
