go to Washington and probably
make personal appeal to the new
President. She expressed the hope
that she might gain the sympathy
of the American people. She could
not see why she should be summar-
lily deprived of her rights through
no fault Of her own, and without
being even notified to appear in de-
Tense of them.
The princess knew nothing of the
affair except what she had read in
the newspapers. She declined to
express any opinion on Mr.. Har-
rison's message recommending an.
nexation, or whether she would ac-
cept monetary consideration in case
it was done. She evidently considers
her case hopeless, She declared
herself entirely opposed to the po-
Icy OF the Queen, which led to her
overthrow. She did not want pro-
tectorate for Hawaii, but indepen-
dence. She favored the idea of her
guardian that regency be appoint
ed for three years, with President
Dole of the Provisional Government
as president, she to be crowned
Queen at its expiration. It was evil
dent that she was guided by her
guardian.
Princess Kaiulani is tall and slen-
der, with a more thoughtful and
deliberate air than might be expect
ed in a school girl. She is brunette,
with eyes of hazel and features that
suggest just a suspicion of kanaka
origin. She was trife nervous dur
ing the interview. She said she had
nothing more to assert than was in
her appeal which she addressed to
the American people, and she ex-
pressed her thanks that her appeal
had been forwarded to the American
newspapers.
The Princess believed that Amer
lea and Hawaii should be warm
friends. She had never seen any OF
the English officials and did not be-
lieve England would interfere in Ha-
waiian affairs.
When asked if she would return
to England after her visit to Amer
lea, the Princess answered.: eyes, il
l am successful. | will be of age
next year, and then l will carry out
my original intention, for which the
Hawaiian Legislature voted $1,000
which was to visit Queen Victoria
then visit the President of the
United States, then proceed to Ha.
wall and assume the position to
which [ am entitled"
| Here the Princess excused herself
on the ground of hurry in packing
for her journey to America. As she
arose she said in a pathetic tone anC
with sudden spirit: 81 want to do all
| can for my people and be an hon
est, true leader to them. | simpl,
want to do my duty to beloved Ha
vail"
The Princess shook hands warml,
with the correspondent, thanked
him for the sympathy shown with
her cause, and asked him to conve,
her thanks to the American pres
for the hearing given her.
Mr.. Davies, who has had virtua
charge of the Princess during he
stay in England, is confident if tn,
Americans could SEQ the Princess
who is simple Christian girl, he
throne would be saved. 1t would
be an immense outrage to set he
aside without hearing.
