HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
Spreckels, the great Hawaiian sugar planter, has deeded away his Honolulu property to his daughters and sons, amounting to 3 500,000 do). All of this vast property has been transferred for fear that it might be confiscated by the provisional Government*
Interest in Hawaii has been revived by the sudden removal to Washington ot' Miuister Blount. Mr Albert J Willers has been appointed United States Minister to the islands, and Mr Mills Consul-general. These appoin',ments are expected to mean that the islands will not be annexed.
Japan wants her subjects who are in the islands recognised in the management and future policy of the provisional Government. The latter do not propose to extend the suffrage
to Chinese, Japanese, or other Asia&tifl races While the State department at Washington maintains its usual silence, there are those who believe that diplomatic Notes have betn exchanged between the Governments, and that the Japanese have made a demand ou the provisional Government that the right o? suffrage shall be accorded to her subjects, which Im bsen denied. The situation is assuming such aspects that the American Administration may be forced to define their policy at an early date.
