THE Ex-QUEEN'S VIEW
NEW YORK, June ia special to
the Journal from Washington says: In
an interview with ex-Queen Liliuoka-
lani said Of the proposed treaty be-
tween the United States and Hawaii:
Fifteen hundred people are giving
away my country. The people of my
country do not want to be annexed to
Ia 0fof n t1a
the United States want annexation. 1t
is the work of 1900 people, mostly Amer
leans, who have settled in Hawaii. OF
this number those who are not native
born Americans are of American par
entage. None of my people want the
islands annexed. The population of
the islands is 100000. OF this number
10000 are native Hawaiians. The rest
are Americans, Germans, Portuguese,
Chinese, English and others from all
parts of the world. The 1900 who are
responsible for what was done today are
running the affairs of the islands. There
is no provision made in this treaty for
me. In the Harrison treaty 1 was al
lowed $4,000 per year, but that treaty
never went into effect. I have not re-
ceived one dollar from the United States.
No one looked after my interests in the
preparations of this treaty Yet my
people, who form so large a part of the
population of the islands, would want
justice done me-
LONDON, June 1.-THE Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon saye that Mar
quis Ito, the japanese statesman who
was interviewed yesterday in Paris on
the Hawaiian annexation question, has
declared that Japan will not create in
ternational difficulties in connection
with Hawaii and that certainly no other
country will object to the annexation
of Hawaii by the United States.
Commenting upon this utterance the
Pail Mall Gazette says: president
Mckinley may call annexation merely
a continuance of existing relations but
it is an undoubted departure from the
colonial sense. 1t does not mean that
Cuba will follow or anything of that
kind, but it means strong naval policy.
The United States will certainly be a
great sea power in the future. He.

that and Hawaii will be of the greatest
value, if it means naval expenditure
now, and it may we'll repay 1t with COM
pound interest in the future"
