Minister, will be in rather peculiar po-
sition, as he represents the Queen and
cannot, therefore, take part in the delib-
erations. He is personally friendly with
all of the Hawaiian Commissioners, how
ever, and will present them to the Secre-
tary of State upon their arrival here. He
will also find it his duty to present to the
State Department the protest of the
Queen.
1t is believed by some that after all the
resolution will be passed. leaving the
matter of annexation to a vote of the
island.
A Cabinet Minister, speaking of the
matter of negotiations with the provi-
sional Government delegates, said: 1.-THE
first thing necessary for us will be to dis
cover with whom we are negotiating.
We must first ascertain why and ho% the
revolution was accomplished, and if it is
likely to be successful. 1t is a we'll
known fact that England has for some
time been attempting to negotiate with
the United States treaty in regard to
Hawaii similar to that between the
United States, Germany and England re-
garding Samoa. Mr.. Blaine refused,
however, to enter into any agree
ment in regard to Hawaii. Just what
position President-elect Cleveland holds
in regard to this question is exciting
much interest here. President CIeve-
lands Secretary of State negotiated
treaty which gave the United States Pearl
Harbor, and gave the Hawaiians the en-
try of sugar free of duty in the United
States. This was political move pure
and simple, and the foreign element of
Hawaii understood at the time the grant
was given that it meant a foothold for the
United States in the islands, such as was
not held by any other nation. Secretary
Bayard, Of course, held this idea when
the treaty was negotiated, and it was
thought that with this precedent Cleve-
land might be favorable to annexation"
ENGLAND's PROTEST.
The British Government has instructed
Sir Julian Pauncefote, its Minister here.
to protest against the action of the United
States officials and forces in Hawaii.
The protest, it is understood, will be
lodged with Secretary of State Foster
tomorrow. To what extent the protest
goes cannot be stated now.
CLEVELAND MIsREPREsENTED.
New YORK, Jan. 3O.-Cleveland denies
the truth in Commissioner Castles inter
view regarding his attitude on Hawaiian
annexation, printed in one of the San
Francisco morning papers, to the effect
that he favors annexation now, though
he once opposed it, and that when he
takes office the proposal Of Thurston and
Castle will be accepted if he has the
power to bring it about. Assurances
that he looks favorably upon the pro
posals are gratuitous. He declines to an
nounce his views upon Hawaiian affairs.

faires of the Hawaiian Legation received
official news to-day confirming the report

sentative visited Lord Rosebery at the
Foreign Office to discuss the situation
with him. Your correspondent is relia-
bly, informed that Lord Rosebery init

WHAT LONDON JOURNALS SAY.
LONDON, Jan. 30.-The proposed an
neXation to Hawaii by the United States
continues prominent subject of discus
sion in political circles and the news
papers.
The EUeai1ag Globe, Tory organ, saws
annexation may result in bringing the
United States into foreign relations at
variance with the whole of their tradi-
tional policy, and cause friction and con-
t1ict between them and the English colo
MES. American aggression in the Pa
cific," adds the Globe, would occasion
Australian remonstrance to which the
British Government would be compelled
to listen. The internal affairs of Hawaii
will settle themselves the sooner it is
more clearly understood that they are
not to be made temptation to the United
States to commit most uncharacteristic
act of folly"
The ST. James Gazette, Tory, SAYS
President Harrison's Cabinet would do
well not to arrive at hurried decision on
the question of Hawaii. sit must not be
assumed, because the United States las
been nursing Hawaii, they are best en-
titled to effective Interference in the at
fairs of that country. The American
party in those islands is by no means so
strong as we are asked to believe"
The Pan Nan C,u-etfs uOu, loo n Uox--
organ, is neutral in its remarks on the
question. 1t suggests it would be inter
esting to see how the Americans would
manage the colony.
AMERICANS WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED.
PARIS, Jan. 30.-The Paris dailies taunt
England with inconsistency because she
objects to American aggression in Hawaii.
While she herself excludes other powers
from Egypt.
The Monitep' UnlUerSGE says: The
great American people are not of the
sort to be intimidated by British bluster.
CONCERNS ENGLAND AND AMERICA
ALONE.
BERLIN, Jan. 30.-The Berlin press is
practically of one opinion regarding the
Hawaiian revolution-that it concerns
England and America alone
The VoSSiSehe Zeit,tag. Radical, says of
the revolution in Hawaii: ''The restora-
ton of the Queen certainly would be
preferable to tripartite control of the
country. Our experience with Samoa by
no means recommends repetition of
such an experiment. Germany has no
reason to meddle further with South Sea
