DRAWING TO A CLIMAX
Hawaiian Question the Sole
Topic of Discussion.
HecomMlssloNeas ARRIVE TODAY

His Hand-Gre Britain Does Not In
tend to Make y Protest.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Diligent efforts
have been made this morning to find Mr..
John NJ. Cleghorn, Of San Francisco,
who was expected to arrive here last
night to lay before President Harrison
she claims of his niece Princess Kaiulani
TO the Hawaiian throne.
The registers of all the prominent ho-
tells were searched for his name, but
without success, nor has any word been
received from him indicating that he has
arrived.
IL Mr. Cleghorn has arrived here he
has avoided the public hostelries
According to the Chicago despatch,
as soon as the news OF the revolt be-
came known Mr.. Cleghorn packed his
grip and took the first train for Wash
ington with the result that ne arrived in
Chicago As hours ahead of the Commits
sioners and was due at the Capital that
much in advance of them.
His purpose is to present the claims of
his niece to the United States Govern
ment before the Commission appointed
by the Provisional Government arrives at
the National Capital He is the brother
of A. $. Cleghorn, whose deceased wife
was sister of the deposed Queen Lii
liuokalani and whose daughter, the heir
apparent, is at a fashionable school in
England.
He will lay before President Harrison
the claims of his niece and will plead for
the establishment of a protectorate with
the Princess as Queen.
This GIRL" he said, "educated in
| England, will be much more satisfactory
! to the foreign element in the Sandwich
| Islands than Queen Liliuokalani was 1t
| will be better for all concerned il the
deposed Queen be kept from the throne.
| She hates foreigners and if her demands
had found favor it would only have been
a matter of few years before she would
have coniiscated the property of aliens.
| She did wrong in endeavoring to get the
| Cabinet to sign new Constitution which
would disfranchise foreigners.
" do not think the provisional govern
ment will last long, for believe that the
| United States will establish a protector
ate instead of annexing the islands
England will certainly not permit annex
alton without making a vigorous protest
and perhaps a great deal of trouble. If
the United States will not see the justice
| anu IlEllb VI bl4o CAttlllle Will lh9 BGlOIb
it, l shall go to England and appeal to
Great Britain.
4" The Princess Kaiaulani is strong
Drained woman, capable of ruling Hawaii.
She is receiving the best of education,
with the expectation of some day sitting
on the Hawaiian throne"
The commissioners of the revolutionist
government in Hawaii will not reach
| Washington until after the Cabinet meet
ing this afternoon, and will not be able
to see the Secretary of State before to-
morrow morning.
The telegram from Berlin TO the effect
that if the United States should annex
Hawaii Germany might demand slight
compensation elsewhere, is discussed with
much interest in official circles,
But one construction can be placed
upon it, and that is that Germany will
insist upon the United States retiring
from it's joint control with Germany and
England of the Samoan Islands.
This is the only place where Germany
and the United States have the least in
terests in common, and, of course, the
only place where Germany's demand fol
''slight compensation" would have any
footing
The situation of affairs in Samoa hai
been the subject of considerable CORE,
spondence between this country and Ger
many for several months past. Cedar
krantz and Won Pillsner, respectively
chief justice and treasurer for Samoa, ap
pointed under the tripartite agreement,
have proved unsatisfactory, and the ap
poiuUment of a successor to Cedarkrant2
has already been decided upon
/ There was a time, :. few weeks ago
when Samoan matters took on quite {
serious phase, but turn for the better
has occurred and all is now peaceable il
that region.
. 1t may be stated that the disposition o.
2 tie Hawaiian question will not in an!
} wise depend upon eitho. GIgland's atti-
I tude with reference TO hawaii or Ger
many's attitude toward Samoa.
The interests of tAe United States il
Samoa are relatively like Uhose of Ger
many in Hawaii, being comparativel,
= nominal except Tor harOor privileges al
Pago Pago. If the righ. OF the Unitet
! States to the uudisputed possession oi
I that harbor and the privilege of main
tanning a naval station there were con
, firmed in a satisfactory manner it is in
I timated that this Government might b,
induced TO fOregO jos share in the ar
! raugement to govern tine islands, whicl
so TAR it is alleged proved not alto
( gether satisfactory.
The action OF the Navy Department
with reference to the Hawaiian situation
outlined in these dispatches yesterda
will be adhered TO- Preparation OF naya
vessels for sea service will be actiyel
| pushed, but the naval force at Honolulu
will not be augmented to any exCen
unless affairs suould take or have a ser
ious aspect. Vessels on foreign servic,
| will be held within reach of the tele
graph, and marines will be placed unde
\ orders preparatory to speedy departure
ENGLAND WILL NOT PROTEST.

\ safe Under American Protection.
