says:
1.-THE provisional government of Hawaii
il doomed. Not one-quarter OF the people
are with them. and the consensus Of pub
lie opinion 10 that the queen must b
restored. Tne question of government
will eventually be put to . popular vote
and Liiuokalani will win. The govern
ment does not want a vote taken and -
doing everything possible TO prevent 1t.
Ex-Mlnister Stevens and . few mission
aries were responsible for tho uprising,
and had il not been tor them there would
have been no trouble. / think Minister
Bount is Of the opinion that President
Cleveland would be doing only what was
right by putting Liliuokalani back on the
throne. The ex-guecn Is in Honolulu and
II under no restraint. She Is mistress Of
the situation aud should the United States
refuse to annex trou BILE will ensue."
