DISSATISFIED WITH DOLE —ua President of the Hawafian Republio Criti- cized Because of Bis Niggardliness, SPENDS -TOO LITTLE MONEY TO PLEASE Sentiment Showing Ttsolf Agaln in Favor of Queen Lilloukalani—Natives Jeslous of Forelgn Interference—Sugar fn- dustry In 8 Bad Way. SAN FRANCISCO, Dbe. 27.—A special to the Examiner from Victoria, B. C., says: It was learned in an interview with a well in- formed authority recently in Honolulu that an important cause of the dissatistaction in Honolulu Is the niggardliness of President Dole and his cabinet. Dole, though recely- ing $10,000, does not sper more than $1,000, while under the royalist regime the queen and her supporters were most lavish, A misinterpretation has been placed Lilivokalani’s position toward those who stirred up the revolution. She did not de- mand their heads. United States Minister Willis, who was friendly to the provisional government, waited upon the queen and the conversation turned on amnesty for the revo- lutionists, in the event of her restoration. The queen sald that she must have time to consult her advisers and be governed by them and the law. To this the interpretation was given that she insisted on thelr lives. After this Willls went to Dole and demanded that the government be turned over to the queen. Some of the men now In power were in the queen’s service and the moment they see a prospect of change they will desert to her. Others who see that they cannot make any- thing will stand by the present system. A majority of natives favor the queen and ure Jealous “of foreign interference. A very strong feeling still exists against an- nexation to the United States and even mem- bers of the American league are not all favor- able, however much may be said of the elec- tion. It was all one-sided, as a majority of the people would not take the oath of allegi- ance. Money Is scarce and the action of the McKinley bill has almost destroyed the sugar industry and the Wilson bill only benefits the United States Sugar trust to the disadvantage of Hawalian sugar growers, whom annexation would not benefit because it wonld make it impossible to employ cheap or Oriental labor.
