torney. Mr.. Aud, who was secretary
Of the envoy, was for many years as
sisIant superintendent of the Oahu In
sane Asylum. He is a property owner
and has a fine home in Palama. Mr..
Kalauokalani, the third member of the
fraction Of the embassy to return by
the Zealandia is called a professional
politician. Colonel Richardson of Ma
vi, who was the fourth in number with
the anti-annexationists is still in
Washington and will remain there for
some time
This is a brief as given TO the Ad-
Tertiser by authority" as it We're, of
what viii be reported to the Native
Political Societies and to the Hawai-
ians generally: Not in fifty years will
the United States annex Hawaii mel.
We were in Washington two months
and explain the situation and tell the
facts TO our friends we meet. We do
not argue much with those we find in
favor of annexation. We only say to
them: If the United States wants to
take stolen goods; why go ahead. We
Hawaiians cannot help ourselves But
they try TO scare us about Spain and
Japan. We find out again what we
know before, that England guarantee
CUR independence and France also and
chat the United States nor any other
country like Spain or Japan dare to
cake these Islands. If a vote be taken
al Washington with all the people of
that place it will be big majority
against annexation. Washington is
The capital in the United States just
like Honolulu is for these Islands. We
want our own flag only and the United
States respect it before and they must
do so now. The treaty never have
more than forty-three or forty-five
votes and it take fifty-nine or sixty
votes TO make it carry through. Sen
ator Pettigrew and Senator White are
our best friends. Mr.. Johnson, in the
House Of Representatives for the State
of Indiana, make a big speech against
annexation and the Speaker, Mr.. Reed.
and everybody else applauded for him.
Mang good men are good friends for
US.
j. o. Carter is not have so much
influence because he is a foreigner.
We think he will be able to see Presi-
dent Mckinley and talk for us. No
body for our side could see Mr.. Nc
kinley, but it is all right, because the
Senate cannot be forced by the Presi-
dent in the United States. Neither
can the House of Representatives nor
the people. Every man speaks for him
self in the United States. Mr.. Carter
tells a newspaper reporter that we
have 1000 Chinese in these Islands.
That was too many 10 say and such
statement discourage even our friends.
II IS best for the natives TO be repre-
SenJed by Native Hawaiians. with per
haps a good man for Interpreter. Mr..
Carter is a good man and a true friend,
but Senator Petdgrew and Senator
Waite like to see Hawaiians come to
Washington against the Republic of
Hawaii.
Queen Liliuokalani want only
money. She print a big book to sell
for money for herself Il is a secret,
bur the Queen is going to stay in
Washington because she thinks annex
alton is sure. She did not help our
delegation. She believe that the Unit
ed States annex us and then she have
claim. Ii is a secret, but she wants
claim for one hundred million dol |
lars Then she keeps all that money
herself"
Then what do YOU propose to do in |
case annexation fails: what will the |
Queen do?"
She do nothing eNcep; look after
her big claim, I suppose. We do not |
want her. We want our young Prin- |
cess. But it Will be told to an our
society people from Hawaii to Niihau. |

for"
