And Whites of Hawaii Want a Protec-
torate-Another Appeal.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 11.-Evidence gath
cred from arrivals by the steamer Aus
tralia and from private letters is accumu-
lating to show that a majority of the Ha-
waiian natives favor the queen and that a
large part of the foreign population prefers
an American protectorate with limited
monarchy to annexation. This reaction
against the first enthusiasm for annexa-
ton is said to be strong, and Paul Neu-
mann, the queens envoy to Washington,
has mass of affidavits from white people
of reputation and property declaring that
they favor restoring the queen to power
under sn American protectorate
Prefer Poverty and Independence.
An appeal, signed by many native Ha-
waiians, is now on its way to Washington
to the president. Here is an extract from
it: I'VE appeal to YOU for redress. We do
not desire annexation. We are contented
to live poor but Independent. Foreigners
have come among Us. They have planted
large fields of cane and have built great
mills; they have also flooded our island
with debased coolies of the Orient. As a
result the dreadful scourge of leprosy is
upon US and its roots are in every village,
We do not object % foreigners, but it is
not just for them to try to take away our
country
