icized by some of those patriots who took
up arms for the sake of office because il
continues to pay the ex-Queen a monthly
stipend of $3.50 and the Princess Kauilani
her regular salary of 1888 per month. 1t
may be stated that the Government is quite
likely TO continue the payment of these
stipends, as their attention has been called
by the Washington Government, previous to
March 4. to the fact that any action on the
part OF the Provisional Government which
might look like unfairness to the cause of
the ex-Qneen would be likely to injure the
cause of annexation with the people of the
United States. 1t was further intimated
that had the Provisional Government al
