TO BE USED AS A TEST.
HAwAuANs DOUBT THE SINCERITY
OF THE RULING GOVERN
siENr OF HAWAII.
Many Would Prefer Annexation to
England Ia.tead of the United
states.

London, August 2s.--Col. McFarlane.
former aide de camp TO the late King
kalalkua, has just arrived In London.
In an interview he said that he was
informed that a few Hawaiian poll
ticlans and merchants who favored the
old form of government would wait
upon President Cleveland when con-
gress reassembled to urge the anneNa-
ton OF the Sandwich Islands, The
primary object, he said, would be to
test the sincerity Of the officials OF the
Hawaiian republic. A large number OF
Americans, he remarked, had joined
the Republican party In Hawai-, u
being generally understood that the ex-
listing republic In the Sandwich islands
provided only for temporary gov
eminent until annexation to the Unit
ed States could be arranged. The pres
eut officials having been in office q
year or more and no special EFFORT hav-
ing been made to attain this end the
Americans In Honolulu are dubious
respecting the Intentions of the pres
ent Hawaiian republic, hence the pro
iected application to the United states
government for annexation.
Congressman Samuel @. Hilhurn of
California recently visited Honolulu,
and Col. McFarlane says he will urge
on congress the necessity o. aendinB
commission for the purpose Of study
ing the situation there.
In conclusion Col. McFarlane OK
plains that Mr.. Cleghorn. the father
| of Princess Kalulanl, is now en- route
| for England, accompanied by eN-Con-
| sui wodehouse. IL Is believed that one
| of the objects Of their visit Is to pre-
| sent to the British government a fun
| and detailed account of the situation
| in the Hawaiian islands and the causes
| that led to the overthrow OF the mon
archy there. The natives, he says
were not wholly opposed TO the policy
of annexation to the United States.
Stll, failing to bring the restoration
OF the monarchy to which they ma
turally incline, they would greatly pre-
fer annexation to Great Britain.
OF course the American commercial
influence is in the ascendant, but the
| British influence Is also large. Col.
McFarlane preferred permanent re-
public or else a permanent restoration
of the monarchy. the best elements OF
both parties forming n coalition for the
support of the government. Failing
such coalition annexation to the Unit
ed States would be the most advan-
tageous commercially. but there is no
doubt that II n test vote We're taken
the natives, who constitute majority,
would vote largely In favor of closer
political relations with England.
