THREE MAIN POINTS OF DANGER
Attorney-GeneraI or Hawaii, Expresses
Views Similar to Those OF tho
CorraspOndent.

SAN Francisco, May 17.-Julius A.
Palmer, who went down to the Hawaiian
islands to investigate the state of affairs
there as special correspondent of the New
York Evening Poet three months ago,
arrived here on the Australia. He be-
lieves that there will soon be crisis
and that the end can only be the restora-
tion of the monarchical form of govern
ment. He says there never will be
harmony until the monarchy is restored
and Pricess Kaiulani placed on the
throne. In giving his reasons for this
belief he said:
"There are three main points OF dam
ger to the government. The first is that
Secretary Gresham has decided that
Bowler is not an American citizen, and
Great Britain had decided that Rickard
and Walker are British subjects.
''The greatest fear of the Hawaiian
government is Japan, and they do not
scruple to say so. They are making ar
rangements to get in 5000 Chinese cool
les and send away as many Japanese.
The government, when the Japanese
that if Japan would supply them with
coolies they would employ them. Now
Japan will probably hold that this un-
derstanding is being violated.
s'The third danger to the government
party is in themselves. The democracy
or American League, Is taking umbrage
at the new importation of Chinese.
Il Sc III -
the things that will bring on crisis.
May the government advertised public
ly that no bills must be paid except in
three and six months credit.
"The loyalty of the natives to monar-
chy was never as stroug as now, and it
was the basis of the union of all parties
in past years and there will never be
harmony until that monarchy is restored
in Princess Kaiulani and that would
make peace at once"
Colonel Volney V. Ashford, attorney
general of Hawaii, who arrived on the
same steamer, expresses similar views
"There is a perfect reign of terror in
the islands. Informers are everywhere
People do not dare to speak in their OWL
houses. There is everywhere feeling
of uncertainty, doubt and impending
danger and ruin.
"Those who favored annexation have
made up their minds that it is .impos.
sible. The missionaries, as we cal
most OF the political party in power
have claimed to be in favor of annex
alton, but have never been really. The
real annexationists mistrust them now
''As for the future2 Well, annexation
is an impossibility, and all are abou
agreed on that. Thurston has gone
back and it is publicly said that he ii
going to propose the restoration of 8
monarchy, with Kaiulani on the throne
IA republic seems an impossibility
such large part of the population arr
incapable of governing themselves. Al
long as this so-called republic can pay
armed men to keep down rebellion, i
will last, and no longer. What the
are TALKING of now, and want first, i
some sort of protectorate of the Unitet
States.
''They are afraid of Japan, and the
they want some protection against an
other foreign interference. Then, Q
course, what is next wanted is mon
archy. The natives are not all dis
couraged by the failure of the last move
ment. They would gladly make an
other attempt. I am not a royalist /
principle, bnt under all the condition
