LIBEL SUITS DROPPED.
Honolulu, March 4.-Some months
ago W. @. Smith. editor Of the Star, at
tackled Charles Wilson, the ex-qusen' 8
marshal and alleged paramour, in his
paper. Wilson had Smith arrested five
times on suits for criminal libel. Smith
claimed he intended to subpoena the
ex-oueen as witness. Yesterday after
noon the cases against Smith we're all
dropped on account, it 10 claimed, OF the
intention of forcing Liliuokalani to take
the witness stand. This is taken as a
sign that the Royaliets have given up
hopes of restoration, as in that event
the queen could not be summoned.
THE NEW ALIEN LAW.
The new law referring to aliens went
into effect today. and several arrivals
by the Warrimoo had some difficulty
in Ian ding. The law requires each new
conner to have $50 in money on his ar
rival. Several men we're detained on
board.
The whaling bark HorRtio arrived off
the port laet night, 70 days out from
San Francisco. She has six cases OF
smallpox on board. Two of her sailors
died Of the digease on the passage. The
sick men will be cared for here.
THE Ex.oUEEN INTERVIEWED.
NEW York, March 12.-The Herald
prints an interview with ex-Qneen Lili-
uokalani, granted its correspondent at
Honolulu, February Goth. The ex-
queen wished it distinctly denied that
her interest in the restoration OF the
monarchy was wholly personal.
"Of course" she continued, I'VE have
naturally deep personal interest at
stake, but you may say we are deeply
sorry on account of our patient native
people. many of whom have lost employ
ment by the overthrow. II anything
grieves us sorely, more sorely than
our own annoyance, it Is their distress.
Their devotion has been so marked dur
ing our trouble that we are most CRATE
full. They are, Of course, very anxious
about their liberties, for / assure you
the Hawsiians love their country. 1
may cay believe they are as patriotic
az any people in the world. Our SUBJ
jects are probably more patient than any
other people in the world, and, for that
matter, we have counseled them to be
peaceful and await results"
She said she loved the American
people and the American government,
but believed there was as much liberty
in Hawaii under the monarchy as in the
United States.
"The people prospered under tbs
monarchy and tramps were unknown,
said Liliuokalani. THE poor were not
numerous in our country, and many
white men made fortunes under the
old conditions. By the way, there are
some serious problems in our govern
ment, as in all civilized countries to-
day. | read there are millions OF idle,
desperate, hungry men hunting for en-
ployment in other civilized countries.
We are very sorry to see 30 many of
them coming to these islands, and we
wish you would warn them there is
nothing for them to do here"
