THE VERY LATEST.
Comes From Washington in a Private
Dispatch.

The very latest private dispatch re-
ceived from the States is to the effect
that the situation in China is favor
able to Hawaiian annexation by fore
ing attention to American interests
in the North Pacific"
The dispatch goes on to say: "The
China business, while from a general
point of view, would seem to be very
unjust, as there is really no preteXt
for the European powers grabbing up
that country, nevertheless from a sell
fish standpoint, it will rebound very
largely to the advantage of Hawaii
inasmuch as it will open the eyes Of
some of the heretofore opponents of
annexation to the fact that Hawaii,
owned by Uncle Sam, is more i'm
portant matter in view of the grasp
ing inclination of Europe now so
conspicuously being drawn out"

\ KAUAI CHINAMAN AND SEE YTP
SOCIETY.
All Has Important Bearing on the Big
Damage Suit of Tuck Chew VS.. the
Makee Sugar Company.

Some startling disclosures have
just been made to the Supreme Court
in the 100000 damage suit of Tuck
Chew against the Makee Sugar Com
pany. Kinney & Ballou, representing
the Makee Sugar Company, have filed
with the court the affidavit of Ng
Fawn. in which he says his life was
threatened by members of the See
Zip Vol Quong club.
Ng Fawn, who testified in the Cir
cult Court against Tuck Chew, is a
member of the See Zip society. as is
also Tuck Chew. After the jury had
returned a verdict of $4,000 in favor
of Tuck Chew. Attorney Ballou filed
a motion for new trial, filing an af-
fdavit of San Chow, which was dam
aging to Tuck Chew's case. The lea
ders of the See Zip society insisted
that Ng Fawn had taken San Chew to
Kinney &, Ballou's offices, and that had
not Ng Fawn been opposed to Tuck
Chew, the judgment money would
have been paid over within ten davs
after the verdict had been rendered.
On September 3rd there was meet
ing of the See Zip society, at which
over one hundred prominent Chinese
were present. Ng Fawn says that
united effort was made TO persuade
him to come over TO Tuck Chew's side.
Ng Gang of Quong Wa On company
was very threatening. so says Fawn,
and took occasion to remark that
Ouong Wa On supplied the money to
Tuck Chew to fight the case
On the Monday evening following
a meeting was held in an attorneys
office, and paper was drawn
up W. the attorney to the effect that
Ng Fawn was not in his full senses
when he testified against Tuck Chew.
This Ng Fawn refused to sign. where
upon Man War. so the affidavit as FL
ed states, exclaimed: "If YOU don't
sign that paper you will be shot and n
corpse" Man War. so Ng Fawn says,
told him that his action was against
every Chinamnn in the Hawaiian Is
lands and he should be published
throughout Chinatown.
Ng Fawn says others were very
menacing, and he procured a revolver
to protect himself. He also sought
protection of the Marshal.
The outcome of the case in the
highest tribunal in the Republic is
anXiously awaited.

has been "A marked change of senti-
ment concerning Hawaii, and it would
not surprise me if the pending treaty
should be ratified by the necessary
two thirds of the Senate. 1t would
be the height of folly to let such an
opportunity slip as Hawaii presents
to the United States at such critical
time. Here is most desirable piece
of property, only waiting for nod
from Uncle Sam to become his own,
without firing gun or precipitating
any trouble. AS soon as Congress
meets we will get at the treaty, and
my impression is that number OF
Senators who have heretofore been
counted against ratification of the

ANNEXATION IS CERTAIN.
Advice Given to the Ex-Queen to Seek
a Pension.

WASHINGTON, December 27.-The
Washington Star prints the following
this morning: The friends of En-
Queen Liliuokalani in Washington
have advised her that the annexation
of Hawaii to the United States is in
evitable. With this certainty in view,
they have suggested to her that she
cease her efforts to defeat annexation
and bring about restoration. and de-
vote her attention to trying to get a
financial consideration from the ulti-
ment. They have assured her that.
with proper effort, it would not be
impossible to have an annual pension
provided under the new regime.
The presence of the delegation of ma
tive Hawaiians in Washington during
the past few weeks has attracted at
tention, owing to the lack of informa-
tion of what this delegation, really de-
sires to accomplish. Col. Richardson
says today that the delegation will de-
vote its efforts primarily to defeating
annexation.
"What we want" he said sis indie
pendence. BY that 7 mean that we
shall not be annexed to the United
States; that the monarchy shall not
be forcibly restored, but that the peo-
pie of Hawaii shall be permitted to
choose by ballot their own form of
government"
None of those interested in the rat
ification of the treaty have anything
to say of this phase of the case this
evening. All profess to know of no
change in the plans of the eN-queen
and her friends.
