A pREIupICED VIEW
Extracts From Mr.. Nordhof's Letter
TO the Herald.

New YORK, April l7th.-In a letter
from Honolulu, dated April 8, to the
Heyaid, Charles Nordhof says
/ saw at San Francisco and on the
ship here a number Of old and new ac-
quaintances, some Provisional Govern
ment men and anneXltionlsts; others
favorable to the maintenance OF the old
system. All of both parties frankly
acknowledged that the natives, 10000
in number and all Of proper age, able
to read and write and brought up under
American missionary training, with a
very few exceptions, are strongly oppos.
ed to annexation. There are against
these 10000 natives, 1928 Americans,
men, women and children, most,
though by no means all, OF whom want
and cry oIt annexation The lead
ers OF these are heads of the fading
Provisional Government
Mr. Nordhof says also: "The pres
ent situation is this. The Provisional
Government continues to exist, but is
slowy losing adhcrents. 1t would 60
to pieces by slight push, but it is the
policy Of the native leaders and their
American advisers not to push, but to-
wait The Provisional Government
leaders have no hope experimentation
