THEY WANT TO BE ANNEXED.
Statement by an UnprejudIeed Traveller
Fresh From Hawaii.

SAX FRAseIsco, Nov. 1s.-Among the
arrivals by the Australia was ID. w. Tay-
Tor. weii-known physician Of Washing
ton City, who Is high in the Masonic or
der. The doctor was seen this morning
at the California, and readily eommuni-
Gated the results Of his observations in
Hawaii. He is evidently keen and dis
eliminating observer and manifested much
interest in the subject. He said;
"I can give you q perfectly unbiased re-
port. am travelling simply for pleasure
aud observation, and have no axes TO
grind. NY stay on the islands was about
one month, and had exceptional oppor-
tunities of meeting the best in-
formed people there. / found the
intelligent and educated elements
10 the United States, with small exeep-
ton. This annexation sentiment pre-
vailed among the educated men OF the
native race 10 whom | talked. Among
the ignorant and superstitious kanakas
there -, OF course. sort of traditional
awe Of royalty, and IL Is from this class
only. or chiefly, that the ex-queen gets
support in her aspirations To recover the
throne. Among the educated and prop
eriy-owning classes there Is no respect for
her pEetensions. Nothing was known in
Honolulu when the Australia left OF the
instructions or intentions Of Minister
Willis. liz had been talked over in a quiea
way by the leading men there. The
Gresham letter TO the president. which
has stirred up SO much talk in
this country, had not been published or
heard OF there. so that the Hawaiians are
even more in the DIRK than You are here
As - the policy of the Cleveland admins
tratson. From what | learned on the
islands think 10 would be impossible for
the queen, If reinstated, 80 retain her
throne unless constantly backed I'D by the
power OF the United States. The feeling
IS very strong against the return To the
monarchy. II the queen we're restored
and the United States government should
then stand aside, she could not retain. the
reins. There has been large imm graz
ton Of Japanese into the islands, as YOU
know, and the labor market there IS we'll
supplied The superintendent of q sugar
plantation told me that there is enough
cheap labor new 10 supply all needs
Tor two or three years 10 come,
so that annexation, though IL would
put stop TO the importation OF cheap
LABOR under contract, would not make
any difference TO the , anteTs, and the
JAMS could continue 60 come in as needed,
Just IS they DO now. found that the
men at the head OF affairs there have the
respect and eonfidenes of the business
community and educated people geaer-
ally. fAe provisional government has
given wise and economical adminissra-
ton, and everybody knows il. My own
notion - that annexation Will take place
sooner or later aud the people of Homo
lulu naturally expect IL 70 make = hsg
boom there. Ia that event think Hilo
would become port comparable TO Hen
olulu in Importance"

There 10 one thing as clear as the sun In

BANK Cashier ARRESTED.


Charged by Tsensee's Partner with Em-
hexslemsnt and faisifying Records.
WHAxcoM, Nov. Especial. l-Col. c. NJ.
Atkins. member Of the governors staff
and cashier of the suspended FRS. Ma
tionai bank of this city, was arrested at
his residence here at 10 o'clock last night
by Deputy United States Marshal McGin-
mis- on a warrant issued by United States
Commissioner Spriggs, of Seattle, sworn
out by j. K. Rae. partner OF ex-Treasurer
Isensee in the logging business. There
are seven allegations IN the complaint.
the charges being that Mr.. Atkins,
as cashier OF said bank, embezzled and
inisappiied certain specified sums depos-
tied therein and made false entries IN the
bank books, reports and statements. The
news OF the arrest created quite a sensa-
ton when IL became known this morning.
The general opinion OF persons well &C
quainted with Mr.. Atkins was that such
summary proceedings were altogether I'M
called for and unjust. Some say it was
pure spitesork growing out of the sale
some time ago of large amounts of i'm
provement warrants of the city of Old
Whatcom, which the bank received from
Rae as collateral for large
advance on contracts, and was
compelled to dispose of finally
TO secure its claims. When seen by a
Posr-IsTELLIGESCrB reporter this after
noon Mr.. Atkins said ifhe had known OF
of the complaint little carrier he would
have gone 10 Seattle yesterday and fur
nished bonds for bis appearance without
being arrested here. He says he does not
understand why the warrant was made re-
tnrnable only before commissioner in
Seattle when there is commissioner with
equal authority here. unless it is to sub
ject him To unnecessary annoyance and
expense. lie says that the allegations
of criminality are untrue, and that he can
account satisfactorily for the entries al
legged 20 be false, and for all payments of
money made by him as cashier. The
books of the bank have been open for i've
months since the bank suspended. and he
believes his administration of the banks
affairs will compare with that OF other in
situations. lie will go to Seattle tomor-
row.

to him as treasurer of the city of New

take, misapply, embezsle, appropriate
and convert to his own use the sum of

immediately issued by order of the court.
and a telegram was sent to the
provincial police at Yale. b. G..
where Isensee has been sojourninr for
few days, 10 ''hold him at ali

OF the indictment in court, Deputy Sheriff
Conlin had left for Yale to- bring hack the
delinquent excnrsionist, and his attorney.
IL. A. Fai-child, went up on the same
tram TO tell his client what TO do and not
10 do. County Attorney Newman saws
The reason that but one Indictment has
been found is that there is no positive
proof that Isensee lent or otherwise nus
appropriated the money of the city on
specific dates. as IN the case Of Krug az
Seattle. lie resigned September IL, and
then 10 aeeountior S60, 0l0 and il is
upon this fact that the indictment is
based. Since that time, however, &C

Isensee returned today, accompanied by
bis attorney and deputy sheriff. The

A GUNBoAT SINKS.
A Haytian Vessel Lost With All on
.. Board.


Board.
The Alexander Petion, one Of the new gum
boats of the Hsytian Navy, foundered Oh
September near Cape Tiburon and only one.
of her crew Of ninety men survived to tell
the story. y va
The Alexandra Petion was the last Of the
gunboats constructed for the Hsytian navy:
She was built In Havre, France, for the Gov
ernment of Hayti only a few months ago, and
left Port-au-Prince on September bound
for the city of San Domingo. She had on
board as passengers General Moliner,
Special Dominican Plenipotentiary to Haytii
M. de Jean, Consul TO San Domingo, and Mr..
Cohen, formerly Haytian Minister to Mex
leo. The party were going to San Domingo
to arrange the final terms Of an agreement
between Hayti and San Domingo.
The Alexandra Petion carried ninety sail
ors, marines and o1csrs, besides the dip!o-
matte party. She sank at four o'clock In the
morning. Why it was that she sank nobody
knows. Her sole survivor, colored sailor,
was picked up few miles from Porto Pim-
into on September s. A1
He was upon heavy plank and was pad
ding with pair of oars. he was an fgnor-
ant man and could not give an intelliglble
account Of how the accident took place. He
said that il was in the early morning. The
gunboat began to 60 down bow first. Nearly
all those on board sank with the vessel.
few jumped and kept up until they were too
exhausted to struggle longer.
The survivor found the plank and two oars
near the vessel. He tloated about for q day
and a half, when he was picked up by
small sailing vessel. $50
