New YORK, March 2.-Princess Kaiulani,
niece Of the deposed Queen Liiuokalani, of
Hawaii, arrived yesterday on the steamer
Teutonic. With her were Theophilus
Davies and Mrs Davies, who are the Eng
hsh guardians Of the princess, Miss Davies
and Miss Whartoff, companion to the prin-
cess. e. G. Macfarlane, the ex-minister Of
finance to the dethroned Queen Liliuoka-
lani, and DR.. Mott Smith, the present
Hawaiian misister to this country, went
down the bay to meet the young princess
There was quite an army of curiosity
seekers on the pier to get glimpse ut the
princess. A suite of rooms had been en-
gagged for the party at the Brevoort House,
and they were driven there Immediately
after coming off the steamship.
The princess is Is years of age. She is a
tall, beautiful young woman, of sweet
face and slender figure. She has the soft
brown eyes and dark complexion that
mark Hawaiian beauty. She had come to
the United States, she said, more for the
purpose of learning and observing for her.

asked to control other countries than to
make formal petition for her crown.
IL the Americans are the noble minded
people have learned TO regard them as
they will not be a party to the outrage by
which have lost my birthright." In re-
gard to her views on the various aspects
which the Hawaiian government is likely
TO assume Princess kaiulani referred to
her guardian, Mr.. Davies, who had pre-
pared n statement both on his own and her
behalf
The statement of Princess kaiulani is as
follows:

Mr. Davies, in his statement recites how
and when the princess was sent to Eng
land and put under his protection in order
to prepare herself to assume the Hawaiian
throne. Continuing Mr. Davies says:
MY one idea has been to prepare her for the
return 20 her own land during the present
year, when she Nttains her majority. One of
the last acts Of The Hawaiian legislature was

cable from Washington,
A Misleading Cabiegrnm.
"Islnnds transferred; princess provided for"
Whether this cableGram was to be consd-
cred an official document ! do not know, but
Il ia the only document that has reached me,
and absolutely none has reached tho princess.
Tho most striking fact of this cablegram, next
20 the apparent heartiessness, is the fact that
Its accuracy is not confirmed by anything
that has been published IN England. Why it
was sent or who sent II do NOT know, but as
loyal guardians and faithful friends there was
only one thing for us 10 do to stand here be-
side the princess in tho presence OF those rep
rtsentatives of Hawaii, who would transfer
hsr blrthright without the ciyility, the hu-
mAnity of one word to her of explanation or
even of sympathy.
We come here with no official status and
with no flieial information, but with the con-
yicton thai the government and people of The
Euied States viii not lcEd their countcnanee
to the tlslnhertance, for no fault alleged
against her or her nation, of a royal lady who
has with singular grace and courage endeav-
ored TO fit herself for her high station aud has

effort

mtssioners who must find themselves in a
position of great embarrassment. Several of

missioners took.
Mr. Davies was deli GIFTED to learn that
the question of The annexation of Hawaii

that practically it was laid over for the
consideration of the next administration.
