United States Commissioner Blount’s dispatches from Honolulu were receiy- ed by Secretary Gresham. Mr. Blount confirms the reports from San Francis- €0 that he had ordered down the American flag and that the marines had been relieved from duty on shore and returned to the warship Boston. While explaining in full his reasons for his action, he says that he found everything quiet there, and that the majority of the people seemed to think that there was n o nec sity for a Unit. ed States protectorate, Becretary Gresham said that he ex- pected to receive full details from Mr. Jlount next week, a steamer from Honolulu arriving in San Francisco on Wednesday, EE To The Pablie, WoRLy's COLUMBIAX Exvosrrios, Cuicaco, March 80, 1893, —To the Public; Because of many misrepresen- tations and misstatements relative to Exposition management and affairs being in circulation through the press and otherwise, both in this country and abroad, and in reply to many let- ters of inquiry or complaint touching the same matters, it seems advisable that some official statement regarding them should be made to the public. Therefore I respectfully ask that the widest publicity be given to the fol- lowing facts: 1. The Exposition will be opened in readiness for visitors May 1. 2. An abundance of drinking water, the best supplied to any great city in the world, will be provided free to all. The report that a charge would be made for drinking water probably arose from the fact that hygeia water can also be had by those who may de- sire it at one cent a glass, Ample provisions for seating will be made without charge. i 1,500 toilet 3. i. About rooms and closets will be located at convenient points in the buildings and about the grounds, and they will be absolutely free to the public. This is as large a number in proportion to the estimated attendance as has ever been provided in any exposition. In addition to these there will be nearly an equal number of lavatories and toilet rooms of a costly and handso me char- acter as exhibits, for the use of which a charge of five cents will be made. The admission fee of 50 cents will entitle the visitor to see and enter all the Exposition buildings, inspect the exhibits, and, in short, to see everything within the Exposition grounds, except the Esquimau Vil lage and the reproduction of the Col- orado cliff dwellings. For those as well as for the special attractions on Midway Plaisance a small fee will be charged. 5. Imposition or extortion of any description will not be tolerated. 7. Free medical and emergency hospital service is provided on the grounds by the Exposition manage- ment. 8. The Bureau of Public Comfort will provide commodious free waiting- rooms, including spacious ladies’ par- lor and toilet rooms in various parts of the grounds. H. N. HiciNBOTHAM, President.
