King Kalakua Offers the Sandwich Islands to the United States, Sax Fraxcisco, Dee. 8.—King Kala- kua has not come here merely for health; neither has he come, as have re- ported, to float a $2,000,000 loan on which ke would pocket a tidy commis- i It has just leaked out that his nission is to propose to the state depart- ment the annexation of the Hawaiian islands to the United States. This news comes from a man largely interested in sugar interests on the islands and may be accepted as ant i tative. Of course, Kalakua's will deny it, the king has reached the jnmping off place and must decide shortly either to risk another revolution or sell his king- dom and get a fat pension He has been authorized by the Ha- waiian government to tender the island t Blaine terms which, it is thought, « will ac- cept. The sugar planters, as well as Kalaknua, are in the hole. Under the reciprocity treaty they really got a bonus of 2 cents a pound on all sugar Now, under the McKinley bill, which makes sugar free, they lose all of this, becanse the growers of this country re ceive a bounty of 2 cents a pound. If the Hawaiian islands come under the American flag the planters will re- ceive a bounty which would amount to several millions a year. It is not known what demands Kalakua will make, but the belief is that they will not be ex- cessive, sone Son. y Secretary on OnETess THE SITUATION SERIOUS. Gen.
