LONDON, Feb. 22.-Princess Kaiulani,
heir to the throne of Hawaii, sailed for
America to-day, accompanied by her
guardian, Theophilus Davies. In an in
terview with correspondent before her
departure she said size had no definite
plans and would be guided by the advice
of her guardian. She proposed TO go to
Boston and remain till after the inaugu-
ration of Cleveland, then go to Washing
ton and probably make a personal appeal
to the new President. She expressed the
hope that she might gain the sympathy
of the American people. She could not
see why she should be summarily de-
prived of her rights through no fault of
her own, and without being even notified
to appear in defense of them. She knew
nothing of the affair except what she had
read in the newspapers. She declined to
express any opinion on Mr.. Harrisons
message recommending annexation, or
whether she would accept monetary con-
sideration in case it was done. She evil
IDENTIFY considers her case hopeless. She
declared herself entirely opposed to the
policy of the Queen, which led to her
overthrow. She did not want protect
crate for Hawaii, but independence. She
favored the idea of her guardian that a
regency be appointed for three years,
with President Dole of the Provisional
Government as President, she to be
crowned Queen at its expiration. It was
evident she was guided by her guardian.
Princess Kaiulani is tall and slender
with a more thoughtful and deliberate air
than might be expected in a school girl.
She is brunette with ewes of hazel and
features that suggest just suspicion of
Kanaka origin. She was a trifie nervous
during the interview. She said she had
nothing more to assert than was in her
appeal which she addressed to the Amer
lean people, and she expressed her
thanks that the appeal had been for
warded to the American newspapers.
The Princess believed that America and
Hawaii should be warm friends. She
had never seen any of the English of
hcials and did not believe England would
interfere in Hawaiian affairs.
When asked if she would return to
England after her visit to America, the
Princess answered: "Yes, if L am sue
cessful. 1 will be of age next year, and
then will carry out my original inten-
ton, for which the Hawaiian Legislature
voted $4,000, which was to visit Queen
Victoria, then visit the President of the
United States, then proceed to Hawaii
and assume the position to which I am
entitled
Here the Princess excused herself on
the ground of hurry in packing for her
journey to America. As she arose she
said in pathetic tone. and with sudden
spirit: Il want to do all 1 can for my
people, and be an honest, true leader to
them. 1 simply want to do my duty to
beloved Hawaii"
The Princess shook hands warmly
with the correspondent, thanked him for
the sympathy shown with her cause, and
asked him to convey her thanks to the
American press for the hearing given
her.
The party departed on the noon train,
alighted at Bootle and drove to the steam
ship dock, where they boarded the Teu-
tonic. Although the name of the Prin-
cess was on the passenger list, her iden-
tity was unknown at Southport and
elsewhere.
Theophilus Davies, the Princess
guardian, is British merchant con-
nected with the Hawaiian Islands. and is
said to be a strong supporter of British
interests in Hawaii. He has had virtual
charge of the Princess during her stay in
England, and is said to be on intimate
terms with her Scottish as well as Ha-
waiian relatives. He is confident if the
Americans could see-ehe Princess, who is
simpfo Christian girl, her throne would
be saved. 1t would be an immense out
rage to set her aside without a hearing.
