SAN FRANCISCO, March 2s.-The United
States steamer Alliance arrived from
Samoa via Honolulu this morning. She
made the trip from Honolulu in eleven
days. She brings advices as follows:
President Jones, the minister of finance
of the provisional government of Hawaii
has resigned, owing to ill health, and T.
R. Porter succeeds him.
A movement is on foot for political
| organization among all the friends of an
| nexetion, for the purpose of supporting
the government and to assist in securing
the annexation of the islands to the United
| States. The provisional government is
| administering public affairs in a csnserva-
tive manner, and Is Strengthening itself in
every way in order to maintain the stu
alton until the United States shall
complete measures for taking the islands
into the fold. The sentiment in favor of
annexation, notwithstanding representa-.
tons to the contrary, has been gaining
ground, and among those who originally
opposed it are now many of its ardent.sup-
porters. Ex-Queen Lilioukslani remains
secluded and refuses to see anyone with
the exception of certain persons who stand
nearest to her. With those to whom she
does consent to give audience she declines
to talk over the revolution further than to
say that her entire interests are in
the hands of Paul Neuman. The news
of the the visit of Princess Kiaulani
to America, and her written appeal to the
people of the United States provoked only
amusement at Honolulu. A story is eur
rent that the princess is engaged to marry
her guardian. The Advertiser in a recent |
issue, commenting upon the fact that Paul |
Neuman had fled with the state depart |
ment paper which purports to be true !
account of the revolution and the causes |
which led up to 1t, says: "It contains |
many suppressions, many garbled state
ments, many falsehoods, but we do not be- |
lieve it contains enough of any of these
things to pervert the minds of the Amer
lean people,"
It is believed that Japan has designs |
upon the islands, owing to the employ |
ment of large number of her subjects. |
Chief Justice Judd says the captain of the |
Japanese cruiser Naniwa informed the |
provisional government that If the United |
States abandoned its protectorate the |
Japanese would consider that no govern
msnt existed on the Islands and would |
raise their flag. The Japanese officials are |
said to be profiting though the remuner-
alive labors of their subjects. British |
Minister Woodhouse is charged with ad- |
vising the Japanese commissioners as to
his policy, Woodhou'e is quoted as cay
"The flag of the United States will have
to come down and the Boston's troops will |
be removed"
Certain ether remarks of the British |
minister have given offence to the Ameri- |
Gang. The uncertainty as to the probable |
fate of the islands is having a depressing |
effect on trade, and on the morale of the |
people. The Hawaiian Patriotic league,
which aims to maintain as far as possible |
the autonomy of the country, is striving to |
increase it's membership. The idea of |
creating the republic of Hawaii meets with |
some favor.
The engagement of Commander Whiting,
U. 8. 8. Alliance, to Miss Eta Ay Fong,
daughter of Ay Fong, a Chinese merchant |
of Honolulu, is formally announced. The
father of the prospective bride is very |
wealthy and entertains in prinoely style.
The bride Is seventeen years old and Is |
beautiful and accomplished.
