Ing are indignant about the charges made
by the provisional government that the
bombs were found on the ex-quecn's prem..

to have originated there. They deny all
knowledge of the bombs and say that II
any were found il is just as probable that
an aitemp; was to have been made on the
life OF tho ex-qneen by some ianatlcal
annexationist. There is no doubt that
there are few whites among the royal.
lists who would like to upset the provis-
ional government, but they are too few in
number to attempt any such undertaking.
No one knows how or why. but the fact
remains that the annexation party of
Hawaii have settled in their own mind
