organize three companies OF volunteers as a
permanent force for the protection Of the
Provisional Government.
The second step was the Issuing of an
order requiring all officers Of the Govern
ment 10 take an oath Of allegiance.
The regular volunteer force now under
arms is 400 men, with reserve force Of
nearly as many more, which can be called
to duty within few hours should the oc-
easion demand. Besides these are the
troops landed from the United States steam
ship Boston, comprising the Marine Guard,
an artillery company and two companies OF
infantry. numbering 10 all $50 men.
The entire changes in the regime Lave
thus far met with little or no counter agita-
tioD. although there has been more or less
Of factional opposition TO the new Govern
ment In a quiet way; most of this, how
ever, has come from the political supporters
Of the eX-QueeD, or from the English fac
tion that has endeayored to bring forward
4 compromise movement with the aim of
securing, II possible, a re-establishment Of
The monarchy with the Princess Victoria
Kaiulani on the throne.
The native Hawaiians generally neither
support nor oppose the new order Of things.
and while the majority OF them may be said
TO be silent regarding tie situation it is also
true that they are not agreed among them
selves. II is well known that they are split
into at least two political factions In regard
70 the late Queens course.
One Of the leading native Hawaiian poll
ticians states that If annexation was ineVit-
able he believes the natives would make
little opposition thereto, provided they were
given assurances for the future, and the
results Of American rule were fully ex-
planned to them by a commission sent there
by the United States, in which they would
have more confidence than they have thus
far been able 10 place in the advocates Of
the annexation movement in Hawaii. many
of whom have been their political enemies
In local politics heretofore.
Since the establishme Of the Provisional
Government the late Queen has removed TO
her private residence in Washington place.
During the first week of her dethrone-
ment she announced that she would appeal
to the United States for re-establishment
and IL was formally announced that Paul
NeumaBn, well known in SansFrancisco
and Hawaii, and Prince David Kawa-
nanakOa, a native Hawaiian, would COM
prise her late Majesty's commissioners TO
the United States Government.
The double game Of royal policy which
her late Majesty has constantly played be-
tween her native and foreign subjects since
she mounted the throne. and again unsuc-
eessfully attempted 10 play the day before
ber dethronement, has had the effect of
causing he new Government to watch her
movements sharply and perhaps somewhat
suspicIousIy since the Claudine sailed to
convey the commissioners Of the new Gov
eminent to Washington. To this must be
added the fact that whatever opposition has
developed to the new order OF things has
mainly sprung from the ultra English
faction which lately united in an unjust
and vigorous attack On the American Min
ister and American interests n Hawaii.
