Hawaiian forces under King Kalakaua. is
mere visiting. He said today: "The revo-
luton i'll Hawaii was expected. but it
seems the queen has forced the hands of
her opponents and obliged them to declare

LONDON, Jan. 30.-The charge d'affaires
of the Hawaiian legation received official
news today confirming the report of the
revolution. The Hawaiian representative
visited Lord Rosebery at the foreign office
to discuss the situation with him. A cor
respondent is reliably informed that Lord
Rosebery intimated that Great Britain
was not likely to intervene at the present
Lord Rosebery also hinted that England,
France and Germany would not be likely
to consent to the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands by the United States. The
heiress to the Hawaiian throne has also
received dispatch from her aunt, the
queen. containing record of recent
events.
The proposed annexation of Hawaii by
the United States continues to be promi-
nent subject of discussion in political cir
cles and newspapers. The Evening Globe,
Tory organ, says: Annexation may re-
suit in bringing the United States in its
foreign relations at variance with the whole
of its traditional policy and cause friction
and conflict between it and English
colonies. American aggression in the Pa
cific, adds the Globe. would occasion
Australian remonstrance, to which the
British government would be compelled
to listen. The internal affairs of Hawaii

commit a most uncharacteristic act of
folly.

because the United States has been nurs-
ing Hawaii. that it is best entitled to
effective interference in the affairs of that
country. The American party in those
islands is bv no means 80 strong as We are
asked to believe.
The Pail Mall Gazette. now also Tory
organ, is neutral in~ its remarks on the
question, and suggests that it would be in-
teresting to see how the Americans would
manage a colony generally.
