LILIUOKALANrs INTENTIONS.
Capt. Palmer Says She Has Never Pro-
posed to Run for the Presidency.

Capt. PalueF Says She Has Never Pro.
posed to Run for the Presidency.
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani and her private
secretary. Capt Julius A. Palmer, seemed
much distressed today over a publication
which purported to set forth the actual
reasons which had brought the ex-queen
to Washington and kept her here week
after week.
According to this story. which apparent
ly emanated from the ex-queen or her ad-
vfsers direct, Mrs Dominis does not desire
the re-establishment of a monarchical
government or seek her own restoration to
the throne Her mission to this city ia to
secure from President Mckinley interfer-
ence to the extent that the manner in
which the Dole regime was placed in power
shall be pronounced illegal, by reason of
undue activity on the part of Minister
Stevens and the crew of the cruiser Bos-
ton, and the ordering of a new election,
1ree from even indirect intimidation. The
publication further said that her plans
have been laid before the President In de-
TAIL and she Is now awaiting a reply as to
what action he will take in response to her
request
To Star reporter this afternoon Can't,
Palmer said that there was not a single
line or paragraph of truth in the whole
stoSy.
/ Il can say absolutely that no communi-
cation making any sucn suggestion has
ever passed from the queen to the White
House. The queen has never asked any
SUCH thing from this administration
though l am sure she would be only too
glad to have the people of Hawaii settle
by ballot the question whether they would
be ruled by their old chiefs or by the white
race in the islands. If there were a gen.
cral election, and her name headed one
ticket, kaiulani a second and Mr.. Dole the
third. Liliuokalani would be elected by an
overwhelming majority, an immense ma
jority''
w ould she agree to run for president
and, If so, would 1t not be a tacit admis-
sion of the legality of the present consti-
tuition and form of government
4 think If the proposition were broached
she would be strongly urged by many of
her friends and advisers to accept the po-
sition. She would do this for the sake of
her people. She is most charitable and
considerate woman. and would willingly
sacrifice all her own prospects and ad-
vantages for the people she loves so well.
We in this country cannot realize the
cfoseness of the tie that exists between the
natives Of Hawaii and their native rulers.
mother to her people. and would do any
thing in the world for them. 1t has been
said at times that the queen is seeking a
pension from this country. 1 heard the
gracious lady say that she did not come to
America for money, did not want money,
and would not accept it. 1 believe myself
that If she should ever agree to accept a
pension, 1t would be to benefit her people.
and for no other reason, and that every
dollar she might receive from this govern
ment or from Hawaii in the form of a
pension would go direct to those who are
dependent upon her bounty

Since arriving here Major Juan Sandoval,
the agent of Gen. Weyler. has had several
conferences with Minister De LONE, but
both the minister and Major Sandoval are
extremely reticent regarding the character
of the mission which has brought a mem

scene of war in Cuba. 1t is generally be-
lieved. however. that Major Sandoval was

RELIEVING THE SUFFERING.
Orders Sent to Army Officers by Sec
Fetary Alger.

Orders Sent to Army Omcers by Sec
retary Alger.
In the view OF Secretary Alger. the worst
Of the flood dangers have passed in the
Mississippi valley. and with the force the
War Department now has in the field
operating with the local relief committees
there is small danger that great suffering
will be permitted to go unchecked and un-
relieved. One danger to be avoided from
now on, In Secretary Alger's opinion, is
the possible concentration of the destitute
laborers In the cities and towns. in order
to secure the relief which the government
holds out
1t Is highly important. in the estimation
OF the Secretary. that this concentration be
averted as far as possible, in order to make
sure that the farm laborers will not per-
manently desert their old homes and per-
haps become charges on the towns. Also,
it is felt that the labor CT this class Of
refugees will be very necessary to restore
the plantations and farms to workable
condition. and insure the making of crops
this year.
out in a telegraphic report received by Sec
retary AlgeT last night from Lieut.. Rowan.
one of the inspecting officers In the field.
based on representations of leading citizens
Of Helena and Greenville. Accordingly
Secretary Alger this morning sent the fol-
lowing telexraphic order. through Adjt.
Cen Ruggles, to Capt. Davis, commissary
officer at Memphis. with instructions to
forward the same order to all the officers
who are now distributing rations:
THE Secretary OF War directs you TO
use every possible effort to prevent. peo-
pie who are receiving aid from the gov
ernment from gathering in the cities, for
as coon as the water subsidies their serv-
ices will doubtless be required 10 work
upon the levees and till the fields. ind
besides it would be a great expense to
transport them back to their former
homes when needed. even II they should
desire to 60.
Feeding tho Live Stock.
The question of feeding the live stock of
the people. driven from their homes by
water, has been solved. When II was first
proposed to authorize the officers 10 buy
forage for the animals. II was held that
the act Of Congress would not permit that
to be done. and the officials were about to
ask Congress To amend the original Joint
resolution. when the treasury authorities
decided that the resolution itseif contain
ed the necessary authorization. This was
fortunate, for Capt. Davis at Memphis
/ Saturday telegraphed that 1t seemed alb
the stock In addition to food. and the per-
mission TO do SO was at once given him.
| Another decision that may do something
to relieve the government authorities of
undue pressure upon their resources was
| also made by Secretary Alger upon the
i recommendation of Capt. Davis. This.was
