SAN Francisco, Jan. 28.-Just before
the Claudine sailed the queen said the
proclamation in which she had protested
that all of the acts of the new govern.
ment were unconstitutional and that
she only gave up to avert bloodshed,
she said she yielded to the superior
force Of the United States, whose minis
ter had caused United States troops to
be landed at Honolulu, and who had de-
clared that he would support provisional
government. 1t is said the new govern
ment will make ample provisions
for the queen, and will provide for Priu.
cess Kaiulani, who is at school in Eng
land.
Commissioner Thurston, of the new
Hawaiian government, was closeted with
Claus Spreckels for some time to-day
and told him that the situation IN the
islands wat much worse than was stated
by the Honolulu press, that it was the
aim of the queen and her followers to
eventually drive all foreigners from the
islands and after their expulsion contis.
cate all their property. He said that if
the United States did not annex the
islands that they would he left open to.
anarchy. He had but little doubt that
this country would accept the islands. il
not it would turn to England, who would
be glad to accept.

The Church Decorations.
The decorations at the church were
very rich and effective. The terrace
formed by the pulpit and the rail sep
arating the organ gallery from ithe
platform. afforded a back ground for a
striking massing Of plants and IL
flowers. On the edge of the pulpit cut
flowers were ranged in a ribbon ten or
twelve inches in width. The
blooms comprised roses. lilies Of
the valley. Azaleas, carnations,
and hyacinths. The front Of the organ
was covered with curtains of smilax
ropes. draped from the instrument to
the candelabra on the side walls of the
organ loft.

Dear hearts! Can you not trust your

the comforting hope that your darling's
last words here will be the first to greet
you over there.
The burial was in the Lancaster GEM
