A NEW COMPLICATION.
The Illness of tho Queen OF Hawaii Ma
Bring Serious Results.


New YORK, Oct. "A special dispatch
to the Herald from Washington says
the reported serious illness of the queen
of Hawaii and the serious political
complications that are likely to follow
her death, have convinced the admin
istration that it must be up and doing,
If the efforts of the English
government to secure supremacy
in these islands are to be circumvented.
The tidings have caused no little con-
cern here and the state and navy Off
cials have dropped Chilean affairs for
the time being in order to discuss ways
and means for meeting the new
contingency. The San Francisco,
with Admiral Brown, will be ordered
to Hawaii at the earliest moment.
This vessel can be spared from Chile.
The admiral is popular with the peo-
pie of the Sandwich islands and this
coupled with the display of two or
three good ships would, il is believed,
be great assistance in preserving our
rights there.
