DEATHS DREAD SUMMONS
PRINCESS KAIULANI PASSES
AWAY.
Sad End to Bright Career-Action Of
the Cabinet in Honor of the Princess
Funeral Arrangements.

The Princess Kaiulani died at 2
o'clock this morning at Ainahau. Her
death was a shock to large number
of the community, though to those in
innate with the family the fatal end
ing had been foreshadowed for some
hours, but even to them the sudden
ness of the end was unexpected.
The deceased young lady had been
seriously i'll for some weeks, having
been attacked with inflammatory rheu-
matism while on a visit to Hawaii. She
was brought down from there a month
ago and since then has had the con-
slant attendance of Drs. Miner and
Walters.
At 1870 this morning it appeared that
the case was hopeless and the immedi-
ate friends were summoned. There
were present at the deathbed: Govern
or A. S. Cleghorn, father of the prin-
cess; Mr.. and Mrs. James w. Robert
son, Mr. and Mrs. James II. Boyd, Miss
Kate Vida, Miss Helen Parker, Colonel
S. Parker, DR.. d. st. G. Walters, Mrs
Walters, Dr. F. l.. Miner, Prince Dav-
id, w. Lumaheihei and Miss Elsie Rob-
ertson.
Messages of coincidence soon began
to pour in. During the day a large
number of friends have called at the
residence to express their sympathy

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
The cabinet was called together ear
ly this morning at the residence of
President Dole in order that a proper
course might be suggested with regard
to the funeral ceremonies for the late
Princess Kaiulani. All the members
were present except Minister Cooper,
who was confined to his house with a
cold.
After a short discussion it was decid-
ed that in consideration of the posi-
ton the princess had held, the eminent
ly proper course she had pursued dur
ing her residence here and the re-
gard she was held in by the Hawaiians,
everything should be done to show
honor to the deceased.
1t was ordered that the flags be put
at half mast on the government build
ings today and on the day of the fun
eral. The consuls were notified of this
action, by the government, but as they
are accredited to the government at
Washington, no request could be made.
AS fact all the consuls placed their
flags at half mast
1t was agreed by the cabinet to ten
der to Governor Cleghorn the use of
the throne room for the lying in state
and for the funeral, and that militia
ry guard of honor should be detailed
Ine OIL hawaii.
Further details were to be arranged
with due regard to the situation.
After the cabinet meeting Minister
Damon called upon Governor Cleghorn
and expressed the regrets of the pres
ident and the cabinet at the terrible
loss he had sustained. He also COM
municated the proposals of the execu-
tive.
Mr. Cleghorn thanked the president
| and cabinet for the kindly interest they
had shown and said that after consul
| tation with his friends he considered it
best to have the lying in state at Ami
| ahau, the deceased princess own home.
| on Wednesday, and on Saturday, at
Kawaiahao church, in which place the
funeral services, according to the
| rites of the Episcopal church, would
be held on Sunday
This was the course followed at the
| funeral of the late Queen Emma and
| it was desired to conform to that pre-
| cedent.
The governor expressed a desire that
| the government would arrange the de-
tails of the funeral and if agreeable to
the president that Major Potter should
have charge.
From Kawaiahao church the body
of the princess will be taken to it's final
resting place in the Mausoleum.
