powers, especially of the United
States, of Great Britain, of France,
of Germany, of Russia, Portugal and

ing to Us and the Nation. that the
enlightened spirit of the Govern
ments of these Great States recog
nized this event as an expression of
national will for the promotion of
LOYALTY and of national sentiment
among the Hawaiian People.

good will, and bearing in mind the
cordial manifestations of friendship
