ANARCHY IN HAWAII !?
Interview With Former Queen Of
the Islands,

No Such Thing as Real Justice There,
She Adds.
coSFrsCATIoN OF CROWN LANDS.
Her Claim Tberefor-she Says They
Now Yield Revenue OF ABOUT
1000, OO0-she Has Confidence in
Honor of Our Intentions.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The Post,
tomorrow. will print an interview with
Liliuokalani ex-Queen Of the Hawaiian
Islands, who Is residing here. The former
Queen receives many letters from home,
and says. among other things:
Reports 10 the contrary notwlthstand-
ing the islands are in a state of practical
anarchy We q say we. because 1
count myself one Of my people, have no
laws but those which have obtained for
many years. and a few which have been
foisted upon us by the Hawaiian re-
public.
There IS no such thing as real justice.
The native has not the same standing
when he goes to law with the white man,
and even some of the foreigners find that
they cannot obtain their due. The laws
are administered in a careless fashion.
The government is an ohgarchy, instead
of a republic. Caprice dictates the adj
ministration Of affairs. l speak with no
bitterness whatever | am merely en-
deavoring to give a correct picture Of the
conditions. The inhabitants of the
islands know nothing whatever Of their
fate. or what sort Of government will be
placed over them"
OUR INTENTIONS.
LiIiuokalani expresses every confidence
in the honorable intentions of America
and hopes when a decision is made as to
form of government for the Islands that
the officials will be appointed from this
country.
When asked as to her claim for confis-
cation of the Crown lands, her Majesty
was somewhat reticent
Il believe that my claims are just,
she said simply. Il think that they VIII
be respected when the papers were
filed no definite amount was stated, but
the revenue resulting from the lands
three years ago was about $4,000 year.
Since that time the lands have increased
i'm value. | have heard that the annual
income from them is now approximately
81 10000 but L know nothing about that.
There was certainly no warrant 10 dis

WASHINGTON, August Admiral
Cromwell commandant of the naval sta
ton at Habana, has advised the Navy
Department that a suspicious case re-
sembling yellow-fever occurred among the
marines constituting the small garrison
at the Machina wharf, in Habana bar

sion over the report of a yellow-fever sus-
pect at Habana. The naval quarters at
the old Machina wharf were thoroughly
overhauled last spring, and the old wood
work was torn out and a complete fresh
equipment was put in.

he connects himself with a Russian le-

destined to occupy Constantinople. The

industrious workman. He was a widower,
and since his wife's death had devoted
himself 10 the three children. Their ages

that ne had become suddenly insane,
brooding over the loss Of his wife and the
motherless condition Of his children.
