Theophllus II. Davies, guardian %
Princess Kaiulani OF Hawaii and
personal friend of the ex-Queen, was i
passenger on the Australia When
seen by q reporter Mr.. Davies spoke
freely of affairs in the island kingdom
He inveighed bitterly against the
Provisional Government for their
treatment of Liliuokalani.
"The Queen" said he, ''is allowed
nothing. She is actually IN straits.
Her servants remain by her simply
through their loyalty and devotion
She has no money to pay them wages
The spies of the Provisional Govern
ment are everywhere, and there is an
atmosphere of distrust over all. The
native Hawaiians have implicit faith
in Cleveland and the American people
and have realized long since that the
so called American League Is not the
American people. In fact, 60 per cent
of the shouters for the Provisional
Government have gone down 10 the
islands since the Government was es-
tablished- The Queen and the royal
