THE HAWAIIAN REPUBLIC. '
Claus Spreckels Declares That It Cannot
l ast. | •
San Francisco, Jan. 16. —Claus Sprec
kels, the sugar-king, declares that the
Hawaiian republic is a sham. He first ' ;
made the statement at the Chamber of '
Commerce, speaking to a resolution re- ■
< I nesting the government to station a
warship permanently at Honolulu to '
protect American interests there. He
reiterated the remark in a subsequent ;
interview and says the republic is be
ing maintained temporarily by a few
men interested in land speculation.
Spreckels says the government is daily i
growing in disfavor and cannot last. •
lie points to the fact that at the last
monarchial election, 11,000 votes were
polled and that the election under the
present government there were but 3,1
000 votes cast. Spreckels is skeptical 1
about a steamship line or a cable from 1
Vancouver to, Honolulu and says the 1
Hawaiian islands will always be forced ;
to sell their products at San Francis- <
