RUMORED ANNEXATION.
OF SMALL PACIFIC ISLANDS. By^Cable—Press Association—Copyright. New York, January 30. Rumors that Britain intended to take possession of the Palmyra Islands have reached the State Department. The latter possesses no knowledge of action on Britain's part. The question exists whether the British annexation of 1889 was cancelled prior to the Hawaiian title. If not the Palmyra Islands ought to belong to the United States, as an American captain in 1852 caused their annexation to the then kingdom of Hawaii.
