600 should 60 10 the fallen Queen Lilluoka-
lani, $40, 600 TO the Crown Princess Kaiulana
and $1,000 to each of the two young Princes.
The last-named two Princes are harmless
young persons Of little account, not chiefs
by blood, but wers made Princes by the
late King Kalakana without any eonstitu-
tional right or power to do so. They were
then boys, being the nephews Of his wife
KapiOlani. Should the entire sum granted
for these purposes be greater or less than
S150,000 advise that the above specified
proportions be maintained.
AS to the native Hawaiians and their ma
tive lepers, at this time things are tending
favoraby toward annexation. Mr.. Kau-
hane. for many years a member Of the Leg
islature, and who has been regarded for
many years the best native In the islands in
public life, Noble In the last session OF
that body. is earnest for annexation. SO Is
Mr.. Kauhi, a member of the Legislature
from this island.
Mr.. John w. Kalua, the ablest native
lawyer in the islands, and for years a men,
Der OF the former Legislatures from the
important Island Of Maui, thinks that the
fall of the Queen and the extinction of the
monarchy will be a boon to Hawaii, and he
is for annexation.
Robert w. Wilcox, a half-white native.
who led the Hawaiian revolt in 1899. which
came so near being successful. is now for
annexation. He was educated in Italy, at
a military school, is 81 years of age, his
father being a citizen OF Rhode Island. and,
il is said. he is still living in that State.
This Wilcox has more fighting ability than
any other native Hawaiian, and will be
proud to become an American citizen, and
at some future time to serve in the army or
the civil service of the United States.
The abeest of the native Hawaiians, the
Christian ministers. are strong in their
American sympathies. The pastor OF a
large native Hawaiian church in this city.
himself native Hawaiian, Is for annexa-
tiOn earnestly. The other large Hawaiian
congregation and church In Honolulu has a
fayorite pastor, born here of American
parentage, whose quiet influence is in the
same direction.
The native newspaper, of much the
largest circulation in the islands, advocates
annexation. stands by provisional Govern
ment, and is losing none OF its circulation.
The main part of the opponents of annex
alton are the lower class Of natives, led by
unscrupulous foreigners of little property,

Canada, who wish to maintain the Hawaiian
monarchy and its corruDtions for their own
unworthy purposes, and who think their
opportunities for power and spoliatIon will
be gone If annexation becomes fact.
The Hawaiian pear is now fully ripe, and
this is the golden hour for the United States
to pluck 1t. If annexation does not take
place promptly, or is held in doubt and
suspense for six or ten months, there cer-
tainly will be here a revulsion to despair.
and these people. by their necessities, might
be gOrced toward becoming a British colony,
for the English here of the mOnarchical
type would then avail themselves of their
opportunity, aud stir up all the possible OPP
posiiian to annexation.
The wealthiest Euglishman of these
islands has to-day called at this Legation,
ard 90 mon in Hawaii is more earnest for
annexation. His two sons, large business
men, are with him iu this regard. and the
next wealthy old British resident, a Scotch
man by birth, Is, with the first man named,
for annexation. l cannot do otherwise
than urge prompt action at Washington. l
