SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12.—Some interesting facts about the movements of Paul Neumann, the Hawaiian queen's envoy, become known after his departure from here last night. He spent nearly half a day in consultation with the sugar millionaire, Claus Spreckels, and his son. It is a curious fact that the provisional government commissioners were closeted with Spreckels nearly all one day here. Spreckels is known to be an ardent annexationist. What Neumann's proposal to Spreckels was cannot be ascertained. These conferences with Spreckels by both the interested factions in Hawaii bear out the reports that the millionaire may have had a hand in bringing the kingdom to its present condition of chaos.
