Nevertheless there can be little doubt
that Mrs. Dominis as the ladyis known in
private life has come TO tae United States

friendIiness and belief in the justice OF
her cause.
She has seen the great power he has
welded TO shape the policy OF the Amer

be able to set forces in motion that will end
in her reinstatement She is doubtless
encouraged in this belief by facts not
generally known regarding the Hawaiian
government. and by the attitude of Eng
land.
There is no doubt that Queen Yictoria's
government would join with the United
States to replace the dusky representative
Of royalty upon her throne. In the mean
time Mrs Dominis has a large private for
