ADMIRAL BROWN SPEARS.
INDIASAPOLIs, Ind, Feb. l4.-Ad.
miral Brown OF the United States
navy, who ~ Waiting In this city after
his return from Hawaii IN command
OF the Pacific squadron, today received
about n dozen letters from Honolulu
dated Feb. lst, two weeks after the
provisional government was cstab-
llshed. He says:
"The letters terve TO make the whole
question OF the recent revolution In
Haw,ii clear TO me, coming as they do
from both Americans and HAwaiians.
IL IL evident Ia my mind that the only
people 10 Hawaii who oppose annexa-
lion 10 tho United States are Queen
Liliuoknlani, the ministers, the royal
family, Two members OF tho last cabinet
and some natives who have lOst all

question OF annexation has been dis
Guessed In the Islands for this last two
or three years. The desire for nnnexa-
ton spread rapidly during the last

that the United States could not we'll
encourage or support any movement
looking towards annexation until
there was radical change In tho
form OF government. While many
plans for bringing about the desired
change from constitutional MON
afohy were discussed nothing definite
was agreed on. At one time IL ap.

provided she aud the other members Of
the royal family could be literally
pensioned. She was badly advised
when she on the J ith Of January no
lar forgot her oath OF office as to resort
TO unconstitutional meghods AMI de.
Clare she would pro>culyate u new con-

advisers were disloyal TO her and had In
View the conditions which followed 30
closely. The queen became revolu-
uonist, aud had she not been checked
anu dethroned she would have made
heuelf absolute and the commercial
interests OF all foreigners would have
been Jeopardized."
