DEATH OF TIE KING OF TIE
SANDWICH lNI.sNES.

by II dispatches it is announced
that William Lunalia. King of the
Sandwich Islands. is dead. Ills reign
has been a very brief one, having as
cended the throne only a few months
ago,m made vacant by the death OF his
uncle. Kamehameha the ~. who die
after a lingering Illness in March last.
The death Of King William. or Bill. as
he was familiarity called. was not I'M
expected, ~ he had been affected for Il
long time with Il bronchial complaint,
and ut the time of his death WAS thirty
nine wears and three days old. As was
his father, lie was a well educated man.
though before the death of his uncle a
wild. harum-scarum fellow. greatly
addicted to drink. and generally found
lettering around the American and
o.her hotels of Honolulu; ami was AT
one time the private secretary OF Mark
Twain. during the visit of that gentle
man to the Islands. He was always a
great friend to the Americans. using
his influence i'll their behalf on many
occasions. As to who his successor
will he it is still Il matter of doubt.
The telegraph informs Us tha. Queen
Emma and Prince Kaihua are spoken
of for the position. but nothing deti-
mite can be learned until after the re-
ceipt of the action of the Legislative
Assembly, which was ordered by the
Cabinet to meet on the 18th of Fcbru-
airy. when the question of succession
will be determined. Many of the in
habitants of tho Islands are III favor of
annexation to the United States. and
the death of King William will. no
doubt. still more greatly complicatc
the affairs of the Government. and the
point be gained by those Ge>irious of
being under the protection of the
American flag.

two hopes to express First, that may get
