HAlolulu. June 2l.-Things look black for the
annexatonists. as since the arrival here of the
bark Halo. with an account of President Cevc-
lands talk with Mr.. Thurston. even the most
sanguine have given up hopes of any action dur
ing the present Administration. Every one is
convinced that Minister B!ount will report against
annexation. for those who have watched him
closely are certain that he has been in favor
OF the Queen from the outset. The talk of OF
fering the islands to England has filled all the
hotels and clubs for several days. Prominent an
neXationists say they do rot propose any longer
to waste time with President Cleveland. They
declare that England has made ovcrtures which
give the hope that she will establish a protccto-
rate and will deal fairly with all classes. This
change of base has naturally created great en-
element and has led the rOyalists to believe
that the time is now near for them to strike
blow for the return of the Queen. They say
that the United States will never
permit England to interfere and that the
only solution of the whole difficulty is TO re-
store the Queen. The question of money is py
no means solved 1t is now said that Mr.. Damon,
a rich planter, mas Deen iurhiSiihe 'o 'n' w" w
war TO the Provisional Government. but that since
the receipt of the news that President Cleveland
will not do anything, he has refused to put up
any more money. If this be true, the jig Is up
for the annexationists cannot raise al, thing on
their bonds in the present disturbed condition
Of the country.
Nearly all the Americans on tina Islands nro
much discusted over the failure of Mr. Blount
70 take any action in regard to the celebration
of the Fourth of July. As American Minister, lie
ought to have presided at the preliminary tneet
ing: but he declined, saying that the relations
of the different factions were so strained that
he did not think it in good taste for him to
