STATEMENT OF DAVIES.
. The Commissioners Must Be in Rather
v: :■■ ■ ■v ; an Uncomfortable Position.
j. >'i w York, .M.ircl; l.— Upon behalf of the
. Princess and her adherents.- in .Hawaii, Mr.
'.- Davies made the following statement: * . v
■■■.■;'."*' the revolution 1887 Thurston
, - en me into power and ' enjoyed very gener
/•• ally the conrHence of. the natives and
; ' foreigners. \ At that !' time. the Princess
; - Knlulani. heiress-presumptive to the throne,
: w»s 11 years of age, and \\l- whs. '-'felt to be
-.. Tery Important that she should ; :be seat
; entirely away from the surroundings and
Influences of Hawaiian court. life, in order
. that she might be trained in a quiet home
.atmosphere which would enable, her more
fitly to take up her future position as soy-
V ereign. Thurston repeatedly urged that
' the young Princess should sent to Eng- '
■:; land with that object to view, and In I860;.
..•When she was 13 year* of age, the plan was!'
, • carried out, and the Princess Kalulanl was
r. ten: to England in the charge of a lady who
was about to spend a year In Europe and
'■•who undertook to place her at a suitable
•clioul which bad already been selected. . ■
■;'•• '■; "At the end of the first year the result of
.the plan was deemed bo satisfactory that
Kalakaua was persuaded to content to the
:" continuance of the young Princess 1 stay In
: E:igiuini, and as the lady who bad been her
...cliapcrone bad relumed to Honolulu a re
"... quest was made by the father of - the Prin
cess, with the written concurrence of the
■;:. Kins; and of the Princess Liiiuokalanl, that
■■ Mrs. Davies and myself would act as her
•'• guardians during the Princess stay In
.'.'"KuKland. '1 he Princess Kaiulani has thus
..' been entirely as one. of our own children
,' and ' bat spent all her holidays with us
Her one idea and our one idea has been to
■'.' prepare her for her return to her own laud
- duriue the present your, when she attains
■ her majority. One of the last acts of the.;
Hawaiian Legislature, of which four of the
'•' five commissioners now at Washington
. " were members, was to Tote the sum of
: . J4OOO for the cx i cusps of the return tour of
.- ti.e lieircss-apDircnt. Arrangements were
'• -in progress fur her reception by the Queen
. of England during the coming sprint!, and
then she was to make a prolonged visit to
„ Washington, New . York. Chicago, j Boston
' and other American' cities, finally reaching
Honolulu In October or .November, fur her
' coming of age-. • ' '."•.:. '.
"When t!ie rrews reached me by cable of
' the revolution in Hawaii I wrote to the Ha
. waiian Minister, pointing ont what appeared
,-.to me to be grave difficulties in the way of
the carrying out by the commissioners ol
' the proposed annexation. I stated .that, in
my opinion, no amount of reasoning and no .
amount of bribes would ever gain .the pure
Hawaiian vote, and without that vote an
. Delation could be neither completed nor
cariied out hereafter. I then urged that a

convention of all classes'.', of voters should
be called; that « carefully revised constitu
tion be i resented to them ; that the Queen .
should be requested to abdicate, and. that
the. Princess Kaiuianl should be .proclaimed
Queen, with a Council of Regency, of which
1 suggested that Dole, now the head of the
Provisional .Government, should be Presi
dent. On February 14 I received this cable-'
gram ..f mil •' Washington : <• "Islands trans
ferred: Princess provided for.' -.;: ;•;..- ■'■'.';
, ..'•Whether; this cablegram is to-be con
sidered 'as : an official -communication I do
not know, but It is the only communication
that has reached: me. and .-absolutely non»
lias reached the Princess; The most.striki
ng fact of this cablegram, next to its ap
parent ' hearties? rress,. Is the [-fact that its ■
accuracy lias not : been confirmed by any
telegrams that have been- published in ;
England. Why It was sent or who sent it I
do not know, bat as loyal guardians anl
faithful friends there was only one thing
for us to do, ana that was to stand beside
the Princess in the presence of those repre
sentatives of Hawaii who would transfer
her birthrleht without : the civility or ; Use
humanity of . one word tb.\ her. of explana
tion, or even of sympathy. Weep nip Ire re
with no official status nnd with no official
information; bat wiih the conviction that
the Government and people of the United
States." will not lend their countenance to
her disinheritance for rip fault alleged
against her or her; nation— a royal lady who
has with singular grace and courage en
deavored to fit herself for tier high station, :
'. and shrunk from neither duty nor; sacrifice
in the effort. •■; .-. • .' : '.•.:'• i{
"I feel a good deal; of sympathy lor .the
commissioners; who. must find themselves in
a position of great embarrassment, as sev
eral of them were concerned In: the prepar
ation of, the Hawaiian constitution of 1887« ;
which they compelled the King to accept :
and since maintain. At least four* of the
commissioners have taken oath to support
the same : constitution and it has ' been
adopted by the nation. When Ulmokalarii .;
ascended the throne she ■ took the usual
oath, and by that constitution Princess
Kaiulani was proclaimed 'heiress to the
throne. The Queen appears to have vio
lated her con ,l'.fjtional 1 oath and to have
laid herself open -to deposition, but that
cannot affect the constitution Itself,. nor .the :
oaths which the commissioners took. There
is ho pretense- that .the: Hawaiian electorate
even knew of the revolution at the date of.
the commissioners' departure . : on' the :
present mission, and :It is difficult ■to : see
how they .can .so^.sufficiently define their
present position as to enable :-;em to write
to the heiress apparent ana to ..announce to
her. the circumstances of their arrival. •;.'-.
--..: "•] do not for a moment believe that any
.of them would be guilty of \ Intentional
cruelty or. even of discourtesy to the Prin
cess, and the inconceivable treatment which
' their silence toward her betrayed them into
must arise from the difficulty they find in
reconciling, their present attitude with the
knowledge that .their oath to sustain tVe
Hawaiian constitution binds them to the
succession of the Princess. unless trie nation
itself releases them from that oath. " '. . ..•■
In a short talk Davies said that lie was de
■ lighted to learn that the question of the an
nexation of Hawaii l;ad taken a turn In the-
Senate that practically laid It over for the :
consideration of the next administration; :' :'.
■ . "We do.' not mean to get a hearing from
President Cl-veljnd in any official capac
ity," said he. "but. simply as private indi- .
viduals. What.his decision is in the matter
will scarcely be affected .by cur visit.: • The
Princess felt that in the face cf .. the; threat
ened annexation of Hawaii by the United
States she ought to come hem where she
could learn directly what was the true sen-
timent of the people. .We will remain here
until after March 4, when we will proceed
to Washington, where we expect to see Mr.
Cleveland." '.: ■.-.'■'■ '--. ■■>..: '.' '■': >; ; -'v'
A BAD MOVE.
The Princess Has Done herself No
■ .. .. . . Good in Coming. •'••; ■'/.':". . ' ■
New York, March I.— C. Maqfarlane.
a friend of Princess Kaiulani, says that the
claims Uiat are being mode by the anti-
Ilawaiian.annexationists to the effect that
Claus Spreckels and others engaged in the
sugar industry in Hawaii bad . brought
about the revolution are made .without
foundation. '•/ ■ ... .' ■' ". : ■ ■■ . '■ ■" '•■:.
"I am opDospd to annexation, bat I never
have made a claim that Clius Sprectels
entered into a conspiracy, to overthrow the
Hawaiian kingdom,-' said Macfarlane. "I
do not believe,: in tact I am almost positive,
that Spreckels did not have anything to do
with the change of affairs. : If he did have,
he lias nut yet shown his hand. . • •••:••
"The sugar industry would be injured by
annexation instead of nenehted, and it Is
not natural that a sugar planter should at
tempt to injure his uwn interests. It is ab
surd to make the claim that Spreckels was
ia any conspiracy to depose the Queen anil
help lo brine about annexation in order to
secure the sugar bounty. The sugar plan
ters would much rather have contract labor
than the bounty, especially when the latter
is expected to cease at any moment."
>facfarlane says that he regards the com
ing of Princess Kaiulani as a most unfortu
nate thine for the anti-anuexatlun move
ment.
"Her eoniing will do no Rood," said h«- t
"especially when she is under the wing cf an
ultra-Britisher."
Dr. Smith, the Hawaiian Minister,
agrees with Mac-f.irlane regarding the
advisability of the visit of the I'rineess to
this country. "It ig a most unfortunate
thing for the anti-annexation people," he
says. " The Piincess has no business here.
The Queen has not abdicated the Hawaiian
throne, and she can have no official weight.
Her coming was entirely aguhst the wishes
of her fattier.
"Cleeliorn sent Davies word not to come
with the Princess, but he either did not get
the word or he has disregarded the father's
wishes. He certainly did not wait until he
had obtained Cleghorii's consent. In fart
he did not trouble himself to ask for it. lie
simply took the entire affair into his onn
lianas and tnok passage on the Teutonic
without seeking any advice."
FAVORS ANNEXATION.
Massachusetts Has Gotten Into Line at
Last.
Bobto.t. Mass., March I.— The Senate
Committee on Federal Relations to-day
reported In fuvor of resolutions favoring
the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands.
MOSTLY IN FAVOR.
Sentiments of Solons on the Subject
:-;'•' •.;•;•• of Annexation. ■■'■'■' [ '
W. C. Wilder, one of the Hawaiian com
missioners, arrived in this city yesterday
from Washington, . D, . C, en . route to the
islands, where' he is anxiously expected.
■.'Mr.. Wilder, when seen at. the Occidental
Hotel last night by a Call, representative,
was not averse to giving bis vie on . the
subject which at present Is troubling the
minds of bo many people, He sui.l that
when he left Washington the general senti
ment there was In favor of auuoxiug the
inlands, although there was a sort of a
party feeling in the matter, which might
tend to cause a little trouble to tliosn wish
ing annexation. lie said that the Homo
crattc portion of the House and Senate is
mostly against annexation, which wasquite'
natural. "They want to hold the session
called for the purpose of considering the
bill," he said, "and in that case I feel sure
that the necessary two-thirds vote will be
carried. If an extra session is not called
the matter will have to lie over until next
December, when the Democrats will have
control/? '. •■;■;. . "■. ••:; .
When Mr. Wilder was asked what effect
the coming of the Princess to this ', country
for t'jio purpose of claiming | the throne
would have lie said. that It would more
than help tho end for which he Is working,
intend of helping herself. "The people in
Washington know full well what would re
sult," said lie, "if the Princess was ilacod
upon tho iliroiir. It is purely an English
trick. If ever she reached tho throne the
islands would' co to .'England and the
chances of the United Stales would bo for
ever closed." -. - . • ■
Along with Mr. Wilder came Charles F.
Peterson, the -secretary for the commission
ers, and 011 the way is another commis
sioner. . .
