believed to have good foundation only so
far as England is concerned. The inter-
est of France and Germany in that coun-
try are not of sufficient importance to
warrant protest.
Dr. Mott Smith, iithe Hawaiian repre-
sentative here. expects England to pro-
test vigorously. He thinks there will be
a concentration at Honolulu, as rapidly
as possible, of the naval forces of England
now in the Pacific for the purpose of
making demonstration, but it is not
probable, in the opinion of DR.. Smith,
that this will affect the sentiment of the
people in any way. The commercial in
terests of Hawaii are practically all with
the United States, and although the SYM
pathies of the native population, under
the influence of the members of the roy
al family, are undoubtedly with the Eng
llsh, still the property interests of the
island will eventually control its destiny.
mat interest is in favor of political incor-
poratIon with the United States.

cellent authority that the British Govern
ment has not instructed British Minister
to the United States Pauncefote to pro-
test against American interference in
Hawaii, as Great Britain does not expect
the nited States to take amy step to
which Great Britain is likely to object
