Washington,

!
ing:
Mr.. Celso Caeser Moreno, OF
this city, has received the follow
ing from II. w. Wilcox, who took
prominent part in the revolu-
tions in Hawaii few years ago,
and who represents, in his views,
the native population of the isl
ands recently annexed by the
United States:
Honolulu, June %.
Carissimo Moreno: 1 received
The Post which you sent and have
seen the compared genealogies of
Queen Emma and the ex-Queen
Liliuokalani reproduced from the
Hawaiian Star. The ex.Queen
has written letters here of her in
tention of coming home next
month. But the Hawaiians have
no more love for her since she
wrote against Queen Emma and
the Kamehamehes, SO her return
would be like that of any ordinary
person.
The poor Hawaiians look upon
the passing of the annexation
treaty in the Congress as q blow
on them, as well as on the indie
pendence of their country. 1t is
fact, it would do away with the
oligarchy which vas forced upon
them by the guns of the United
States cruiser Boston. The Ha-
waiians do not believe that the
UnitedStates will do the right thing
for them. They have an idea they
are going to be treated as the In
dians are.
The personpels of the oligarchy
are confident that most of them
would be kept in Office and S. b
Dole will be the Governor. All
these rumors combined make
the Hawaiian suspicious of
the United States. and they are
all going to hold aloof until they
see that their new master will do
the right thing by them.
The Dole oligarcby has perse-
cuted many Hawaiians and is still
prosecuting without remorse.
Many Hawaiians who own pro
perty have been declared non
compos mentis, in spite of the
doctors certificates, and their pro-
perry has been placed in the
hands of the supporters of the
This oligarchy has
little judges put in purposely to
persecute Hawaiisns, and also lit
tie lawyers to insult Hawaiian
ladies in these little courts of per-
secution.
| hope by this time the Senate
has passed the annexation resolu-
ton to get rid of this Infamous
oligsrchy. Notwithstanding my
desire that Hawaii ought to be an
Independent state, with limited
monarchy as a form of govern.
ment, like thai of Great Britain
and Italy, yet L only hope that the
United States would do the right
thing with the natives who are in
need of protection.
The Keoua family, the same as
that of the Kamehamehas, has
united and has put up as their
head the high chiefess, Elizabeth
kekaaniau, as successor to Queen
Emma, while that of the Kala-
kaua dynasty has decided on Prin
cess Victoria Kaiulani instead of
the ex-Queen Liliuokalani. For
the claim of the crown lands,
which the Dole oligarchy has
taken by force and robbed of the
income during these last five
years, we soon will make a move
in the Congress and Senate to re-
store these lands, valued at about
100000 to the living represent.
atives of the Keoua family.
The war makes the United
States annex Hawaii. l am think
ing of coming to Washington to
fight for the crown lands in behalf
OF the representatives of the Ke-
Qua house, who are the true heirs
to the Kamebamehas' estate,
namely, the crown lands. l have
sent you the pedigrees before; the
other documents | will get ready
and send to you if l do not come.
My warmest aloha with you.
Il. w. WILCOX.
