eeiNed isRre " ith Regret.
The news that Princess Kaiulaui. of Ha-
wall is dying, has been received with much
regret in this city, where she made a ia
forable impression when in 1899. she came
to ask President Cleveland not to take
away her heritage" sentimental interest
has always attached to her as il always
does TO royalty in distress. however un-
worthy may be the strain from which il
sprung.
Kaiulani is probably he best of her some
what notorious race. She is of mixed
blood, her father being Scotchman nam
ed Cleghorn and her mother native Ha-
waiian of mixed parentage. She was very
pretty. Her eyes are dark and lustrous:
her mouth, while trifle sensual is we'll
shaped. and her teeth white as pearls Her
! figure, like those of all the Hawaiian wom-
en- who have never known the dsigure-
ment of fsShonabl BILE dress is perfect She
was well educated in England and carried
herself like a duchess. Besides. she was
modest. independent in thought and
speech. and well balanced in her ideas
Some years ago she indulged in a fiirta-
tiOn with an American ensign who used to
roll around in the Pacific in one of the
old wooden naval tubs. He was son of
the Puritans and when his family found out
about the infatuation. they made desperate
efforts to break it Off as did Liliuokalani.
the aunt of the princess. who could not
bear that the royal line of Hawaii should
be sulied with plebeian American blood
Finally the match was broken off and the
naval officer took 10 the flowing bowl for
comfort for year or two but finally set =
tied down and married. Kaiulani is en-
gagged, or was reported TO be engaged some
time ago, to her cousin. Prince David
Since Hawaii was definitely annexed to the
United States, this engagement is said 10
have been broken OFF.
1t was said to be entirely matter of con-
yenience at the best and it has ALWAYS
been said that Kaiulani remained true in
her heart to her sailor lover. Prince David
is a descendant of the old warrior. King
Kamehamsha. and has managed to main
tain possession of great deal of that SOW
ereign's property. With Queen Lils money,
to which the princess would have fallen
heir, the young people would have been
well fixed.
David however, is said to be not a great
man. Most of the Kanakas are tall and
well built but he is slender and understood
He is not more than feet 8 in his boots
and is poor of flesh. His face is rather a
handsome, with a delicate feminine cast
of feature He has a spectral black mus
tache. much like the thin horsehair- looking
mustaches sometimes seen on the lips Of
Japanese, and his complexion is the clear
nutty brown of his race. He does not
strike one as possessing more than ordi-
nary force, of character He is quick and
graceful in movement, and his manners
are equable and highly polished He has
a low, SOFT and exquisitely melodous
voice, and speaks English correctly, but
not with fuency. He mas been well edu-
Gated and dresses well.
With Kaiulani's death the Hawaiian dy-
nasty will pass away. 1t was always a
prodigal. lazy, good-natured family. and
everybody brought into contact with it
liked it. From Kamehameha, who loved
the hoola- hoola dance, down to Kalakaua
who dotted on poker, it was very sportive
