THE AUSTRALIA
also brought statement from CORE
spondent in Honolulu to the effect that
eX.Queen Liliuokalani has entirely
abandoned all hope of ever regaining
the throne of Hawaii, and is now per-
lectlng arrangements for bringing
claim against the United States for an
immense amount of money. The corre-
Spondent says that this information
comes from source which makes it
trustworthy, that agents of the eX
queen, now in the United States, have
Informed her that American sentiment
generally is against her restoration and
IN favor OF the annexation OF the Islands,
ana that all further efforts on her part
TO regain her lost position will be utterly
useless.
1t is stated that. acting on this in
formation, and in view of the stubborn
stand taken by the provisional govern
ment, Liliuokalani has concluded to
abandon the struggle to restore former
conditions, and will seek pecuniary
Solace i'll claim for heavy damages
against the American government. 1t
Is understood that her action will be
taken upon statements made In her
favor by President Cleveland in his
messages 10 congress, by Secretary of
State Gresham IN his letter to PreSi-
dent Cleveland and by Commissioner
Blount in report Of his Investigations.
and 10y the further fact that in recog-
nlZlng The justice of her cause and
acknowledging that a wrong had been
done her, the United States endeavored
to induce the provisional government to
surrender in her favor.
The fact that three such prominent
supporters of the eX-queen as Sam Par
ker, A. p. Peterson End E. G. MacFar-
lane arrived here today has given rise
to report that they are going To Wash
ingtOn i'll the interest of LiliuOkaiani.
MacFarlane. in statement 10 to the
Associated Press, denied that his visit
here has any
POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE.
He says he is here for his health, and
will return to Honolulu by steamer next
Saturday. Parker is here to see Claus
Spreckels and c. S. Bishop about his
financial affairs. which are badly in
vOlved, and Peterson is here as Parker'S
attorney. Parker's estate is heavily
m0rtgaged to Spreckels and Bishop and,
II their business can be accomplished in
time, they too will return home next
Saturday. MacFarlane is the man who
denounced Minister Stevens in the Ha-
wailan legislature for Stevens Deco
ration day lecture to the queen, eight
months before the revolution occurred.
He says there is not the slightest danger
OF blOodShed in Hawaii, and she royal
lists have no arms, and it would be fool
ish for them to fight They are confident
that their cause is just, and that con-
gresS will restore the queen. ''All bust
ness in Honolulu is nearly ruined" said
McFarlane, land the question of govern
ment should be settled without further
delay. If congress decides to put the
queen back, let it be done at once. If
annexation is to be the result, il cannot
come too soon. If the United States
intends to stand aloof and let us fight
our own battles, then the conservative
men Of the ISLANDS should come together
and decide upon some permanent form
OF government. Anything is better than
this dreadful uncertainty"
