Eoasts Them Accordingly.
LosDos. Jan. 2g-The Daily Nesss says:
The overthrow of the queen seems 20 ce
an American coup. Hawaii being the key
TO the whole group, the Americans, once
they are in possession Of il. would not find
difficulty in making themselves master Of
the others. Europe, however, has necessi-
ties in the same quarter, and Honolulu 10
the only coaling station On the mail route
between San Francisco and Auckland.
The Daily Telegraph says: The affair
wears the aspect OF q successful attempt
By American intriguers TO snbvert the
existing order Of things IN favor first, Of
themselves. and next Of what is impos-
sible. annexation. We could not allow
the United States 70 annex the islands,
even If the established policy at Washing
ton City permitted the idea TO be enter
tanned. The native government ought TO
be restored. for the revolution 10 tie work
OF disseminated, selfish foreigners, chiefly
Yankees.
The Ddiiy Chronicf. says: Europe has
not any great concern with Hawaii.
Nevertheless the queen has rights which
seem TO have received a scant report from
the leaders ofths movement. Events had
not given to section Of the foreign popu-
Anxiety for welfare Of the natives seem to
have been less a motive With the Arneri-
can party than a desire 70 further their
own interests.
The Standard SAYS: 1t il not likely that
the good sense OF the American people
will permit them TO assume this RESPONSE
biiity, which would be found oDerous and
Improbable, or to claim an extension
of influence which would be opposed and
resented by other powers having
equal interests at stake. IL is
quite true that the United States
cannot allow any other powers to annex
the islands, but none has such an ambl-
ton. Justice requires that the constitu-
ton be restored with such reforms as are
necessary, the powers most interested
agreeing in respect to the guarantee.
Neither the United States nor Germany
nor Great Britain has a sufficient motive
for making selfish arrangements.
The Times says: 1t is difficult to see
how compliance with Mr.. Dole's request
can be reconeiled with the existing Amer
lean institutions. II seems plain, how
ever, that the state OF things that existed
lately cannot continue any longer. Some
thing must be done. The question is
what and by whom? The Samoan prece-
dent is not altogether encouraging, never
theiess il seems possible that some such
scheme may be executed ultimately.
LONDON. Jan. 29.--The Daily Graphic
Gays Of the Hawaiian revolution: 1t is
beyond dispute that there has been mis-
management in Hawaii, but except the
lurid stories published In San Francisco
nothing has occurred to our knowledge to
justify the queens deposition. The revo-
luton seems to be purely the work of
section of immigrants. numbering at the
outside 1900. The fact that the revoiu-
tionists were in 60 great hurry to ask the
United States for annexation wears an
ugly look.
The Post says: The annexation Of Ha-
waii by the United States might be re-
garded as a counter movement TO fortify-
ing Esquimalt. The bulk Of the Hawaiian
trade being with the United States, we are
not surprised that there should be desire
io4 Il closer union with that power.
