QUEEN LII ARRIVES.
SHE MAKES AN UNEXPECTED AP-
PEARANCE At SAN FRANCISCO.
WHAT is HER MISSION =?
IL II believed She Proposes to Mako
Personal Appeal 20 President
Throne.
II lirOnc.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, December TO-
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani, of Hawaii, arrived
Unexpectedly from Honolulu on the steam
er China this morning. The object of her
visit is at present unknown, but the i'm
preston which existed among the passen-
gers Is that I4lliuokalani is en- route for
Washington. where it is her intention TO
make a final and urgent appeal to Presi-
don't Cleveland for the restoration Of her
throne
From facts which were CLEANED 1t is
evident that the starting Of LII from
Hawaii was developed In mystery. No
announcement was made of her intention
to leave during the time that the China
lay at the wharf between her arrival from
Yokohama and her departure. About ten
minutes before sailing time LII made her
appearance on board. going at once to a
stats-room. which .lad been reserved for
her, and in which she remained until the
vessel was well out to sea
Colonel MacFarane, who was Chamber

kama, mot the Queen upon the arrival OF
the steamer, having received n notifica-
ton OF her presence on board, and es-
ccrted her 10 the California Hotel. In an

no knowledge as TO he plans Of LII. and
that her coming was a complete surprise

Of her presence here. and as yet she has

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December lo.--
Especially Daniel. being asked
which of the three Cuban resolutions Of
fer.d In the Senate yesterday he favored,
said: 81 have been for about year In
fay or of recognizing a state of public war
In Cuba. There Is no government there
but the rule of the sword, and the CUBAN
sword welded by natives, rules TWO
thirds OF the island, while the Spanish
sword, welded by alien butchers, rules

heavy guns. am not prepared TO say
more than that. The fact Of public war

IS too serious a matter TO declare with
out full elaboration, which i am en-
deavoring 10 give the subject"
Representative Tyler. i'm reply to the
same question, said: II don't think the
United States Government ought to en-
gage in war at the present time with
Spain, and the adoption Of either Of the
resolutions means war. i have no OBJ

OF the United States Government TO take
every step consistent with international
comfy to bring about a settlement Of
Cuban affairs To this end We ought TO
urge our good offices upon Spain, letting
her know that our patience may be cX-
haustea'
Representative Swanson said: IT think
that belligerent rights should be i'm

would indicate friendly disposition to-
ward the Cubans, and put the United
States In the attitude Of strict neutrality.
