Presldent Dole Arrives.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1S-Presi-
dent Dole of Hawaii has arrived here.
He denies that he has come to the Unit
ed States to work for annexation. In
an interview he said: Il do not come to
the United States to work for annexa-
tion. I am merely on a friendly visit
to this country and its president. I ex-
pect to remain in San Francisco three
or four days, when 1 will start direct
for washington and will there call upon
President Mckinley. I think the senti-
ment of the people of the islands is more
than ever in favor of annexation. To
be sure. there are some natives who are
Indifferent and others who are opposed
to annexation but no one really knows
just how many"
