EXCITED BY ELDER CLUFF.
UTAH MAN AMONG THE HA
WAIIAN NATIVES.
They Declare They Will Not Support
the Present Government and Pre-
fer Annexation to England.

The presence of Prof. Cuff of Provo
among the Hawaiian natives seems to
have stirred up some cC!nmotiOn at
Honolulu The San Francisco Chron-
icle CORRESPONDENT at that place sends
the following, under date of Feb. 10:
The natives are considerably excited
over the appearance here of a man by
the name of Cuff or Clough, a Mormon
elder. who is making a canvass among
them TO ascertain just how they feel
towards annexation. He began his
work last week at a Mormon colony
at Laie, a small place on the wind
ward side of this island, by calling a
mass meeting of natives, which was
attended by several hundred living in
that vicinity. The meeting was held
in the Mormon church, so the story
goes. and was addressed by Mr.. Cluff.
He said he was seeking to ascertain
the true wishes of the native Hawaii
ans in regard to annexation. with
view TO helping them to get what they
wanted. and he asked the question: DO
you want annexation to the United
States?"
The people are said to have stood up
in body and shouted mo-"
IF, then" the investigator is report
ed to have said, the United States
fails to annex the islands. will you
support the present government" and
again the populace is supposed 10 have
answered in the negative.
Il know certainly. continued Mr..
Cuff. according to the story, that your
queen can never be restored. Ii you do
not want annexation to the United
States or will not support the present
government, what, then, do you
want?''
To man, the story goes. the natives
shouted, Give us annexation to Eng
land"
Where Cuff came from or by what
authority he is pursuing his investiga-
tions. no one seems to know. He is
said to have powerful friends at Wash
ington in whose interests and for
whose information he is working. So
far as is known he has not done any
work here.
