Rumors of Restoration of the Monarchy

Rumors of Restoration of the Monarchy
and an American Protectorate
SAN Francisco, Aug. 31.-According
to steamship auvices from Honolulu,
E. c. MacFarlane, leading royalist,
left for San Francisco, August 20,
and it was rumored he was on his way
to England to confer with Princess
Kaiulani, who was heir to the Ha-
waiian throne. The rumor was con-
tradicted by the royalist paner, which
claimed that his errand was personal
and had no political significance. In
the same issue, however, the editor
said: "The natural outcome of the
present situation is that President
Dole will gracefully retire and that
Princess Kaiulani will be asked to
head new regime of which Dole's
present cabinet officers will be the
leaders"
The royalists claimed that they had
received information that Kaiulani
would be restored, while supporters
of the republic were under the impress.
sion that President Cleveland had en-
powered United States Minister Willis
to negotiate for an annexation treaty,
or failing in that, to offer the present
government the protection of the
United States. Either annexation or
a protectorate would be acceptable to
the white people of Hawaii, and, judg-
ing from appearances, any attempt to
restore the monarchy would be met
with resistance
