LiliuokalianI, of Hawaii, is here. She
arrived today on the steamer TeutOnic.
With her were TheOphilus Davies and
Mrs. Davies, who are the English guard
ianS of the princess. Miss Davies and
Miss Whartoff, companion to the
princess, were also with the
party. G.. McFarIane. the ex-
minister of finance to the dethroned
Queen Lii uokaliani, and DIR. Mott
Smith, the present Hawaiian minister
to this country, went down the bay to
meet the young princess. There was
quite an army of curiostyseekers on
the pier to geta glimpse of the princess.
A suite of rooms mad been engaged by
the party at the Breyoort house, and
they were driven there Immediately
after coming Off the steamship.
The princess is eighteen years old.
She is tall, beautiful young woman of
sweet face and slender form. She has
the soft brown eyes and dark complex
ion that mark Hawaiian beauty. She
has come to the United States, she said,
more for the purpose of
Learning and Observing
for herself the nature of the people who
had been asked to take control of her
country than to make formal petition
for her crown.
That" she said. sis rightfully mine,
and if the Americans are the noble
minded people have learned to regard
them as, they will not be party to the
outrage by which l have lost my birth

which the situation is likely to assume,
the princess referred to her guardian,
Mr.. Davies, who had prepared state
ment both on his and her behalf. The
statement of Princess Kaiuani is as
follows:
$50 the American People: Unbidden
| stand upon your shores today, where
l thought so soon to receive royal well
come on my way to my own Kingdom.
l come unattended. except by the loving
hearts that have come with me over the
wlntry seas. hear that commits
siOners from my land have been for
many days asking this great nation
to take away my little vineyard. They
speak no word to me. and leave me to
find out as l can from the rumorS of the
air that they would leave me without a
home or name or nation. Seventy
years ago Christian America sent over
Christian men and women to give re-
ligion and consolation to Hawaii. They
gave us the gospel. they made us na-
ton, and we learned to
Love and Trust America.
''Today three of the sons of those mis-
sionaries are at your capital asking you
to undue their fathers work. Who
sent them? Who gave them authority
to
swore they would uphold? Today, /,
poor, weak girl, with not one of
my people near. me, and all
these Hawaiian statesmen against
me, have strength to stand up for the
rights OF my people. Even now can
hear their wall in my heart, and it gives
ME strength and courage, and [ am
strong, strong in the faith of God;
strong in the faith that am right;
strong in the strength of 70,000,00Q peO-
pie who in This free land will hear NE
cry and will refuse to let their flag
cover dishonOr to mine"
Davies reciteS how and when the
princess was sent to England and put
herself to assume the Hawaiian throne.
Continuing, Mr.. Davies says:
FEB. IS. | received this cablegram
from Washington: Islands transferred;
princess provided for Whether this
cablegram was to be considered
an official communication l do
not know, but it is the only
communication that has reached me,
and absolutely none has reached the
princess. The most striking fact of this
cablegram, next to apparent heartleSS-
ness, is the fact that its accuracy is not
confirmed by any kilograms that have
been published in England. Why it
was sent, or who sent it, l do dot
know, but
AS Loyal Guardians
and faithful friends there was only one
thing for us to do, TO stand beside the
princess in the presence Of these repre-
sentativeS of Hawaii who would trans
fer her birthright, without the civility,
the humanity of one word of eXplana-
ton, or even Of sympathy. We |
come here with no official signs, |
and with no official inform |
alton, but with The conviction that the |
States will not lend their countenance |
to the disinheritance for no fault of hers |
or her nation, of royal lady who has |
with singular grace and courage en-
deavOred to fit herself for her high |
station. and has shrunk from neither
duty nor sacrifice in the effort"
Mr.. Davies was delighted to hear that |
the treaty for the annexation had taken |
a new turn in the senate and that it wa
laid over for the consideration of tbs
next administration.
1--WE will not go to Mr.. Cleveland in
any official capacity" said Mr.. Davies,
"but simply as private individuals.
What his decision is will scarcely be
affected by our visit. The prin-
cess felt that in the face of the
annexation of Hawaii, by |
the United States, She ought to come
here, where she could learn directly
what was the true sentiment of the |
people. We will remain in New |
York until Friday; then we go to
