It may interest you to know that the Princess Kaiulani has arrived in
this country.

The Princess is the daughter of Liliuokalani's sister, who married a
Hawaiian gentleman named Cleghorn. Kaiulani, who is known as Miss
Victoria Cleghorn, is said to be a very charming girl, highly educated
and amiable. She is said to be quite pretty, and to look like a Spaniard
or Cuban.

She is passing through this country on her way to Honolulu.

Because of the fact which we told you a little while ago that
Liliuokalani was talking of abdicating in favor of Kaiulani, every one

Sandwich Islands had anything to do with the proposed annexation.

The young lady refused to speak on the subject. She said that she was
simply going there to visit some old friends.

Her father, Mr. Cleghorn, who was taking her to Honolulu, declared
himself opposed to annexation, but stated positively that the trip to
Hawaii was merely a return home for his daughter, who had been finishing
her education abroad.
