San FRANcrsco. Oct. 22.--The recent arrival
OF tho steamer Australia from Honolulu
brings later nows from the seat OF annex
alton. Apparently. all is quiet and serene. but
eternal vigilance Is tho necessary watchword
| OF tho provisional Government and It's ad-
herents, fcw OF whom have become discour-
aged by the long delay on the part OF the
United States In giving any answer to their
request friend in authority. In whose
dictum the most extreme confidence can be
placed. writes that Some OF our island people
arc becoming weak-kneed; they are dscour-
nged by delay and DESTROYS Of making some
compromise. Fortunately. these are but few
| in number, and include those who are apt to
| turn about and wheel about and Jump Jim
| Crow with whatever party is in tho ascend

garded as faithful ndherents on either side.
This. however. will never do" continues my
| correspondent. "We are in for q fight to a
| finish and will have nothing short OF annexa-
tion. To compromise by agreeing to pro-
| tectorate. or by allowing the matter to be
| settled by n vote OF the natives who can all be
| easily bought by Spreckels's gold. is out OF the
| question. Any suggestion Of q protectorate by
tho United States Government will be simply
acknowledged. perhaps with an intimation
that 1t was not the subject with which tho

asked for annexation. That refused. then the
world is open to us to seek 1t elsewhere should
we see fit Next to the United States. our near-

can be no compromise. and there will be none"
Such Is the sentiment Of one Of the best OF
Hawaiian citizens not OF an office seeker or a
politician. but a man with his own interests in
Hawaii and with the best interests OF Hawaii
at heart. 1t does not seem possible that the
United States will be so blind to its welfare as
to let this opportunity slip by. an opportunity
that would be readily seized by either Eng
land. France. or Germany. With tho British
