sides, and when the side l represent pre-

81 assure you / know nothing Of the af-
fairs in Hawaii, and have come to America
to find out what all the row IS about.
Queen LiliuOkalani has great faith In
the fairness of the Government of the
United States and is not In the least
troubled.
'All the natives are satisfied with the
American protectorate, but not with the
Provisional Government They will not
tolerate the latter form Of managing affairs.
They would not only prefer annexation TO
that form OF government but would de-
mand IL.
at is not true that the constitution the
Queen wanted to promugats would have
robbed the white population Of its rights.
In fact, II would have helped the whites
more than anything else. The demands OF
the Queen were just and legitimate. and no
person or class of persons would have been
hurt by them. 1t Is mistaken impression
that tho Queen wanted the naming OF the
House Of Mobiles. A II she wanted was the
power TO name eight OF them. or just third

nOuneed il was understood that after con-
sultation with the American Minister and
with his approval and con nsent, the stars
and stripes should be raised on the Govern
ment buildings and a proclamation issued
proclaiming an American prOtectorate In
the Hawaiian Islands. The next day was a
secretly busy one. Fresh information re-
ceived by tie Provisional Government
showed the wisdom of the course taken.
The volunteer forces were moved during the
afternoon TO the barracks near the palace.

to Hilo on the Island Of Hawaii as pre-

BELONG TO HER.
England's Claim to the Gilbert Islands
Virtually Conceded

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The only interest
the United States has in the matter of the
seizure of the Gilbert Islands by British
war vessel last spring Is the maltreatment
of the consul Of the United States at that
time by the commander of the vessel.
The Consul reported that he had been
assaulted by British forces, whereupon
protest was lodged with the Government of
Great Britain by our Minister in London,
under instructions from the State Depart
ment. and assurances were received that
the officer responsible for the assault would
be called to account for the action.
The map of the islands of the Pacific
issued by the photographic Bureau of the
United States Navy Department included
the Gilbert Islands in the territory claimed
by Great Britain.

MONEY FOR HARBORS.

Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Feb. Gin the Senate to-
day Frye, in reporting back adversely GER
tain amendments, referred to tie Committee
on Commerce, proposing river and harbor
appropriations, said the sundry civil appro-
priation bill already contained river and
harbor appropriations to the amount Of
clause and that the Committee on Com
merce would not recommend any further
river and harbor appropriations.
at noon the Senate went into executive
session and when the doors were reopened
unfinished business, the automatic car
coupler bill. was taken up, the question
being on the amendment offered by Dolph
to that offered by Morgan. Morgan's amend
ment requires the Attorney General to
bring suit for the condemnation of any
coupling patent that may be selected, and
DOlph's is that no railway company shall
be required to use such patent until such
condemnation has taken place. The amend
ments and the bill were debated at much
length, and finally Cullom moved to lay the
Morgan and Dolph amendments on the
table. This was carried; ayes So, noes 9.

were agreed to. changing the date in the
first section, when power driving wheel
brakes may be used. from January l, 1895.
to January /. 1898. and the date in the
fourth section, when grabirons or hand
holds in the ends and sides of cars must be

viously issued. Many leading natives were
present, with X. w. Wilcox. the native
revolutionary leader, and freely ex
pressed themselves favorable to the move
ment, provided it was annexation or meant
that in the near future. Mr.. Wilcox, in
fact, declared if it was thoroughly under
stood that annexation was to be the ultimate
outcome that the Hawaiian people as
whole would hail 1t with Joy.
Ats quarter before o'clock the Ameri-
can troops drew up before the front en-
trance of the Government building and
promptly at five minutes before 9 the
proclamation by the American Minister
was read and the protectorate was estab-
lished.
The general feeling among all classes Of
citizens and residents is one of hearty in
dorsemsnt and cooperation. The people
generally feel that the worst has passed
and that the country is now upon the high
way to public prosperity. provided they
continue to receive the support and appro-
baton of the Government at Washington.

is believe not to be entirely groundless.
In any event the Advisory Council has
been furnished with evidence which has,
within the two days preceding the Aus
tralia's sailing, constrained 1t TO advance
from cautionary to precautionary measures,
which precipitated the denouement almost
as Unexpectedly as the late Queens action
precipitated the revolution itself.
The attempt which has repeatedly been
made to identify the supporters of the Pro-
visional Government with what its enemies
call the missionary party is not borne out
by the facts. The truth is that the mis-
sionary" party, improperly so called. means
nothing more nor less than the American
party in Hawaii with this limitation: That
the missionary" party is only a small
portion of the American party. and a still
smaller portion Of the consolidated party
which is supporting the Provisional Gov
ernment. and intends to stand squarely by
the fight until either union with the United
States is brought about or some equally
stable form of government under American
sanction or protection is established.
The supporters of the new Government
include almost all of the American, German
and Portuguese residents, together with a
large contingent OF British planters and
merchants and many of the leading na-
tive Hawailans, who are at last coming to
admit that native rule per Sc has proved
failure, while factionsl rnle has proved
curse to native Hawailans and foreigners
alike.
When the Advisory Council met on the
morning of January 80 it was In possession
of sufficient data to show that the moment
for final action was drawing near. The
leading question discussed was whether or
not il was advisable in the interest Of the
country to request the projection of the
United States Of America, through the
American Minister, Hon. John l.. Stevens.
