lions which every one recognizes in con-
nectIon with the recent affairs in Hawaii.
The attitude of the administration on the
great question OF annexation was not yet
known.
HIT spoke OF the strength of the provi.
sional government. which had maintained
itself even as against the meddling agents
of the United States, and yet the present
administration attempted har-kari in a
foreign country fully capable of governing
