cisco, who recently paid q six
weeks visits to the islands, was
interviewed on his return to the
Coast by Gall representative re-
garding the political complexion
of Affairs in the mid. Pacific re-
public as follows:
"The Provisional Government"
said DR.. Ollie. sis apparently run
ing as smoothly as it's best friends
could wish. President Dole's ex-
ecutive ability and patriotic prin-
ciples, cannot be questioned, and
the .stIoD. D.Cst auherent Of the late
monarchy must respect him for
his wisdom and honesty. 1 refer,
of course, to the white royalists
and the most intelligent of the ma
tive population. There is evident
ly desire on the part of the Gov
ernment to treat oil colors with
impartial justice and to recon-
mend itself to the entire island
people.
But everywhere there is a
sense of unrest and clear appre.
hension of a coming national, if
not international, trouble.
However upright its character
may be it is not government Of
the whole people, and L think
none know this better than the
Government itself. More securi-
ty, stability is needed, and more
promise for the perpetuity of the
republic. L use the word 'repub-
lie as a general term.
The Kanakas are not in tune
with the present regime. Those
who seriously consider it are in
tensely dissatisfied, and the rest
are happy-go lucky over the ques-
tion-the predominating trait of
these simple islanders. They
cannot understand that anybody
but a Hawaiian in blood should
rule Hawaii. Around Honolulu
since the last outbreak there is
probably nothing that the Gov
ernment need Immediately fear,
but in, the other islands distant
from the capital there is plenty of
rebellious feeling. When the
leaders come the timid natives
will again arise in the interests of
native luler.
another question that comes
up with all its unpleasantness is
that Of finance. The National
purse, always a slender one, has
been pretty well emptied, and
money always cuts mighty figure
among the nations of the earth.
$50 the Dole Government, know
ing itself to be out of touch with
the Kanakas, is praying for an
nexation as the oAly remedy. OF
course, the average native
has no conception of the meaning
of the word, and # it were explain
ed to him what annexation means
he would like the idea Just about
as little as he likes the white gov
ernment at Honolulu.
''Liliuokalapi, having formally
abdicated and surrendered all her
right and title to the crown, is
out of the question forever; but
there is another woman--a new
one - looking over the ocean
toward the island kingdom that
was willed her. She is Princess
Kaiulani and the hope of the
Royalists. Her friends in the
islands are not parading the
beaches with brass bands, nor
even with the royal kahili
plumes, but all the same the cur
rent sets toward this girl. Aside
from the fact that she is a hand
some, amiable and popular prin-
cess, and is the only pretender to
the shadow throne of Hawaii, she
is English through and through,
and none know this better and
Joy over it more, than England
and her Minister and subjects in
Honolulu. SO when Kaiulani gets
ready. to rule over the kingdom
restored she will find plenty of
foreign friends to hunt among the
old royal lumber for the scepter.
Hawaii, lying exposed and de-
fenseless in the, great path of
commerce trayersing the Pacific,
must be or should be protected by
stronger power than itself, and
the question arises, Which power
shall that be?' Burdened with an
unpopular Government, and filed
with the n7sssimilating elements
