THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
Intimation That Cleveland VIII Send {

Commission to the Islands.
New YORK, March IA morning
paper says: The intimation that Cleve-
land may appoint Commission to visit
Hawaii before acting on the annexation
question, has caused a chill to run up the
backs of the Hawaiian Commissioners.
They hoped for something better. If
the annexation scheme failed to receive
the approval of the new administration,
they hoped at least to be able to return to
the Provisional Government and say the
United States would be willing to negoti-
ate for the assumption of a protectorate
over the islands.
The appointment of a Commission, they
realize, would not only occasion delay
in the settlement of an important ques-
ton, but deprive them of any honors or
profits connected with negotiations. They
are, therefore, loath to believe in the
rumor current that the new administra-
ton is talking of appointing a Commits
sion to visit the islands with authority to
treat with the Provisional Government
upon a plan giving Americans supremacy
over the islands without incurring all The
responsibilities accompanying annexa-
ton.
