FRIENDS REGRET THAT SIZE CAME.
i. c. MACrARLANE AND TIT HAwAI1AN MNIsTiI
ARE SORRY.

+. G. Macfarlanc of Honolulu friend OF the
Princess Kaiulanl says that the claims that are
| being made by the anti Hawaiian ann"HauoiiNN 10
the effect that Claus spr"ohcls and others engaged
in tho sugar Industry Of Hawaii had brought about
| the revolution are made without f1undation
II am opposed to annexation, but never nave
made the claim that laus spreckcls entered into
n conspiracy 70 overthrow the Hawaiian Kingdom.
said Mr. Maciarlane when at the Victoria Hotel yes
terday Il do not bcevc-n fact, am almost
po,,tive- that Mr.. spreckels did not have Anything
10 do with the change Of Affairs. III 1t" did nave ne
has not yet shown lis hand. We believe that by ue
terms Of the treaty, which dcpriv"s Us of contract
labor the sugar industry would be injured by an
hexa,ion instead OF benefited. and Is not natural
that a sugar planter should attempt 10 inJnrc his
own interests II Is absurd 10 make The claim H"t
Clan, ~precke,s was IN any conspiracy 10 depo'"
the Queen and help TO bring about annexation III
order 10 secure the bounty. The sugar painters
would much rather have contract labor thnh II
bounty when the latter IS expected TO cease at any
moment"

y, tho Princess us d most unfortunate thing FOR the
anti annexation movement. Her coming VIII 90
