WANTS CROWN LANDS RETAINED.

HawaiI's Consul General Protests
Against the Conhscation of the
Royal Estates.
SAN Francisco, Feb. IF. S. Pratt,
Hawaiian consul general here, has sent
to Vice President Morton and the United
States Senate protest against ratifca-
tion Of so much of the annexation
treaty as applied to the crown
lands of Hawaii He AYERS that the
lands in question are a trust created by
Kamehameha III out of his personal es
tate to support the dignity of the crown,
and that this trust has been scrupu-
lously observed as the funds arising
therefrom were never available for ap.
preparation by the Hawaiian Legislature
Mr.. Pratt states that his wife, Hekaaniau
and other heirs of the line Of Imebameba
are the legal owners of these lands and
he invites investigation to prove their
title.
Pratt closes by saying that should his
protest "be disregarded by the United
States government it will have most
disturbing effect upon the native
Hawaiians now smarting under their loss
of country and independence and might
probably lead to disastrous consequences
without any compensating advant ages.
