TO MAKE kAIULAN| QUEEN
The Latest Romantic Dream of
Robert ". Wilcox.
ENGLAND READY TO ASSIST
To Place the Princess on the HI
wai!an Throne II Annexation Fails,
ana to aiake President Dole and
His Cabinet Members Of tils,
Queens Official Family.

The Hawaiian question, which has been
taking a rest for some time, was resurrected
yesterday by letter Received from Robert
| W. WILCOX, If Hawaiian re revolutionar : ia re.
1t coEtauns soILc startling news, IL true.
The important part of the document is
that England is about to cspouse the cause
Of the Princess Kaiulani and establish her
on the Hawaiian throne. The princess
is again in Europe. The plan III Ills
case, according 20 theletter, is that Kaiulani
shall be na'e queen and that the presi-
dent ah1cabiHet officers fthe Dole govern.
ment constitute the cabinet officers of the
proposed royal government.
| Another romantic notion in the letter is
| ;hat tt,t. high chiefess Elizabeth is regarded
as TIE candidate OF certain American
| party, AMI that sh- also is TO be elevate u
/ 10y compromise with the Dole govern
ment, It's officers to become her chamber
lains, ministers. etc.
The letter is very adroitly worded, as it
SAYS that if a popular election were To be
/ held, eX QIeen lii would be chosen. This
! sentence in tae letter indicates that it has
I really been written In the interest Of ev
4 Queen Lii, and that the rest of it IS stage
I romance ar me.odIama. The further in.
/ UelliSence is that the two native societies,
which, acr'Or.!ins To Senator Morgan, could
/ notmuStci corporal s guard on the ot casion
( OF the recent attempted demonstration in
! favor OF tic Queen, are To send commits
( sioners 70 this country to make representa-
/ tions of the alleged facts 60 this Govern
ment.
The letter is 10 Mr.. C c. Moreno, and is
/ as follows.
4 received yours. / am writing this
/ in haste You "a on with our crown land
case. BY the early part OF next month
/ VIII have everything ready. Power Dr

/ II lhey only leave IL 10 the vGice or the

the selected self chosen party, then it VIII

! chiefess Elizabeth Kekanion The former
VIII be an English candidate, while the
| latter viii he an American, Il republican
rule fails here. Monarchy is the only safe
guardfor So small eoantrya Ha waii that
is. good monarch.
MY best aloha to you,
ROBERT W. WILCOX "
THIS is an ill-disguised attempt at
scare in the statement that England has
candidate, and amateur diplomacy could
scarcely 20 further than in the proposition
that the present republican administration
officers shall he ~ hiret nf ficers OF any old
queen tlat may be elevated TO the throne
The letter was referred to the State De
