THE QUEENS SIDE OF THE CASE.
TALK WITH Z. 0. MACFARLANE. WHO CANE
HERE WITH PRINCE DAVID.


f. O. Macfarane and Prince Kawananakoa, who,
with Paul Neumann, came the United states -
present the Queens side OF the Hawaiian situation
before the Secretary 0f state, says that the only nope
they can for them is that the present congress

| and signed. Mr. Macfarlane and the Prince who
were at the Victoria Hotel yesterday said to Tribune
reporter that they felt that they had not been treated
. fairly In the matter. ard that an attempt hau Oceh
made to close the negotiations with undne haste
"But we are not going to Lakewood 70 complain
TO Mr. Cleveland" said Mr.. Maciarlan". lana can
not understand how such silly story got into PRINT.
We only hope now tia, matters viii bc delayed 50 that
a non partisan commission may be sent 70 lia"ah ~
ascertain to true state OF affairs. The statements
that have been made by the representatives ol U'
Provisional Government, in many cases. nave NOT
been true. 1t is not true that any of The natives
favor annexation, and many of the foreigners are OPP
posed to such step. am an American ana am
strongly opposed to IT, We are in favor OF an Amori
can motectoratc, but nothing els. The natives
would rebel against an Enelish-Amcrcan procctoraic
or an English American German pro;ectorate They
want American protection and at tl' same tine tley
want the rights of their sovereign maintained.
when we reached san Francisco, Mir. Neumann, as
tie Queens envoy, telegraphcd 10 secretary fos"i
and told him that he would reach Washington as soon
as steam could get him there We asked the secretary
of state to delay final arrangements until TIE queen
side he'd been heard but it appears that Mr.. Thurs

we did not get a hearing. The Queen was dciheu
the privilege Of sending representative on the Sd"'
boat with The Provisional Commissioners, and II seems
to ne that the step toward annexation 'hat mas al
