Editor of The Tribune Sir: Tito almost universal false Im pulsion of the American people In re KM it to Hawaiian nffairs ever since the unmanly and shciriclcs overthrow of Queen "Ulluokalanl In 1893 nrises un doubtedly, In tho largo majority of rases from trrors Ignorance. The ter rific power of a news correspondent has ne er been so wt-ll demonstrated ns lit this Instance. The correspondent at Honolulu, In nil hU' dispatches from tlmt place li om the time of the over throw up to tlto present, gives unde niable proof that he wim an adherent of the rebels; equally ho the corres pondent In San Ftanclsco. Their preju diced and perjmed dispatches have been sent luond-cr.ht to the press of the Unltd States, and It Is from these dispatches that the American public has formed Its opinion. "Without any Intel est whatever In the ni.itlcr the w liter, from n mere sense of justlre r-i the traduced, e-uinmencd to fend with Interest these partisan press dispatches; and If others will take trouble to read then with as much care as he did they will as he soon leant to rend between the lines. The follming article was written In the Kpilng of ISO;!, but being on the un popular side of the (iiiestlon was not offered for print. However, when Queen Ulluokalanl went to Washing ton, 'he v rlter called upon her with his manuscript fnd was accorded three private audiences with the rightful (jiieen 'if Hawaii, at one of which he submit ted the at tide, written nearly four years aj.,n. to ascertain It his state ments of facts weie correct. The Queen and her lady-lii-waltlng listened with great interest to the muling of this article and upon It eon elusion the Queen said: "Mr. Busteed. eveiy one if your facts Ih absolutely correct. I would bo glad to have them published, but at the present Juncture 1 do nut ilcslie to be quoted: that Is, I want It undeistoed that I am not saying anything, but you have my per mission to ta that I declare your facts to be convi t." Instead of tho thick-lipped savage that our newspaper press has degraded Itself by picturing. 1 found her a hand some, dlgntlled, courteous lady, the equal of any American woman in in telligence and jrruclousness, Tlir.

Tho desire to reproduie heie the entli urtiele Is only o (.iconic by the im practicability of so doing. The follow ing is an extract.

The New York Herald of Jan. 31, 189J, prints the following: "ASVIWKD BY A HAWAIIAN." "Written by a nntlve ten dayB before the Queen's overthrow. The following letter, wiltten to tho Herald ten days befpre the i evolution occurred !n Hono lulu, contains an Interesting review of the situation as t then existed. " 'From the Hawaiian standpoint tho question of annexation may be Us missed In a few words. It Is unpopulur with all classes. It Is truo that the Ulands are having Internal dissen sions which cause some uneasiness nt home and In Washington." . This should, hi borne In mind on account of denials, quoted later.

All accounts nsree that Queen I..I1 ltioklani and her adlicrcnts did not r.inke even a domonstrr.tlon of forcible lealslnnto when their government was overwhelmed and their lfves threatened by tho usurpers. "The new govern ment then called for volunteers who assembled, armed, to the n timber of 000. The old government surrendered with out Rti'klng n blow, although it had 400 men under aims and a battery of Catling guns. representa tive White then proceeded to' the steps of the imlace and began an address. He told the crowd that the Queen and cabinet had betrayed, them and In stead of going home peaceably they should go to the palace nnd kill and bury her." (Dispatch to New York Press, Jan. 29. 1S93). In the face of this admitted fact the Ainetlean Minister to tho court of Hawaii, the envoy from President Harrison to Queen Llllouo knlnnl, one as rightfully a Queen as the other a piesldent under the organic law, becomes actively partisan with the Insurgents and Insults both the gov ernment he was sent to respect nnd the government he ho misrepresented. In direct violation of the usage of the department of which he was a swoin oillcer, nt the risk of involving bis home Eovernment in dire diplomatic entanglement and his native land In war and blood-shed, he counseled and connived with the ring-leaders of the revolt and prostituted the power of hla position by landing an armed force ot United States marines, under the pre text of protecting American Interests which weic not threatened." About five o'clock In the nfternoon the I'nlted States steamship 15oston landed about 300 men. Each man had two belts of cartridges around his waist, and was armed with a rifle. Tho marines were detached and sent to the American Legation nn Nuana avenue while the sailors marched out along the Uei chant street with two Catling guns. " (New York Press, Jan. 29. 1893.) Three hundred armed United States sailors with two Galling guns to protect what American In tel ests? Or to assist the already as sembled M0 armed rebels In Intimidat ing the 400 soldiers of tho national nrmy? "Upon receiving Incontestable proof that his excellency, the minister pleho potentlarv of the United States, aid-d and nbctted their unlawful movement!! and caused United States troops to be landed for that purpose. I submitted to force, believing he would not hav acted In that manner unless by author liy of the government he repres3nt-- This action on my part was prompted by three reasons the futility of a con flict with the United States; the de sire to avoid violence, bloodshed an! tin destruction of life and proportv. a'ul the certainty which I feel that you and your government will right whatever wrongs have beer, lnfllctct upoie us In the premises. " (Queen Llltuokalanl'.s protest to r.en. jaml.t Harrison, president of th! United States. New York Herald Feb. 18, 11.93.) The queen's confidence was misplaced. Was It to protect American Interests that Minister Stevens raised and main tained, until removed by Commissioner Klount, under aiders from President Cleveland, the Hag of the Republic ot the United Stntes on the national prop city of the kingdom of Hawaii? No, it was lu furtheianv of a deep laid rcheme-that had for .-r.any years been fulminating. M1NISTEII STHVENS. The kind of a minister Mr. Stevens was in Indicated in the following ex tract from I.lluokalcnl's protest under date aforementioned: "The position taken by the present American minis ter has been constantly unfriendly and quarrelsome. The nddress he deliv ered to me on my ascension would lead me to suppose that he considered an American protectorate established at that day. It was a lecture and net an expression of seasonable sentiment. I did think it a most inconsldere-1 speech. Not one of the other repn sentatlves chore my coronation day for threats nnd penalties. Again In Octo ber last, Mr. Stevens sought audience of me. It is the usual etiquette on such an occasion to Inform tho min ister of foreign affairs of the object of the audience, so that the sover eign may not be taken by surprise at the presentation of some unexpected matter. The American mlnlstei deemed It inconsistent with his idea of courtesy to give any Intimation of the cause of his visit. I received him, notwith standing. No sooner had I bowed to him than ho gave signs of laboring under strong excitement. He read a paiagraph from the Dally Hulletln, a Honolulu evening paper, which he said was an Infraction of his rights as the accredited representative or a foreign power. Trembling with emotion he read a section from the International Code, or some such book, which he had brought with him. At the con clusion of his remarks I informed him that I should leave the matter in th; hands of my ministers, who would give It their Immediate and earnest attention. I, therefore, withdrew. The American minister declared he woula hold the Hawaiian government re sponsible for the article complained of. The Dullctlii was not directly or Indirectly controlled by tho govern ment, and my ministers explained this position of the case to the American minister, who declined to be pacified, or even to believo heir aeauranco of Irresponsibility. lie was evidently bent on picking a quarrel. His mani fest aim was to embarrass me," In other words, the minister plenipo tentiary and envoy extraordinary of the American government and people does In the palace of a queen what the veriest boor would have been kicked out for dplnff In the private house of an American lady. The following Is also indicative: "Washington, April 21, 1893.-A pri vate letter received here today from a member of the family of Minister Stev ens brings Information that the minis ter, with, his wife and datmhter, will leave Honolulu May 24. Mr. Stevens had, according td this letter, mndp, ar rangements to depart on that date be fore ho knew Mr. lllount wns to be sent to the Island. The letter referred to shows that tho Stevens' family feels keenly the revo cation of tho minister's net In regard to the hoisting of the Mag, and predic tion Is made of all sorts of dire disas ters ns a result " (N. Y. Herald, April 23, 1893.) Let me sny that no one who Is tho adherent of a political faction in a foreign country la lit to hold the of fice of minister plenoptentlnry of Lite United States to that country, nnd par ticipation Jn rebellion to tho monarch to whom he is accredited is so long as the friendly relations, which he Is sent there to maintain nnd represent, con tinue, ns much treason momlly If not constructively, to his own government as It is rebellion to the other. "The valuation of tho kingdom of Ha waii is now placed at $30,000,000, of which the merchants of tho United ( States own 2S,300,000," (Illustrated American, January 2S, 1S93 ) "It li es timated that nearly 530,000,000'of Amer ican money is invested In these lsHndn. More than two-thlrds of all the proper ty Is owned.by Americans."" (Editorial New York Prcsu, January 29, 1833.) Observe the transformation, merchants, metamwphos'ed mlsrlohnWes! Mission aries, who convert I he natives to re ligion nnd their lands to themselves, men of pence who went otit at the ex pense of the church and remain at 'the expenpo of fthc inhabitants. They spread religion and ncqulre lands. They came as prcachera and remain as plant ers. They Indoctrinate brotherly love and beget Insurrection. They sow Chrlstlnnlty nnd raise sugar! "What shall the harvest be?" , CALLS I1A PLOT. These martial' missionary merchnnts succeeded In overthrowing the govern ment to which they owed their alle giance, nnd of which many of them had been members. If It wns not n plot these Intrlsuers had for a long time been carefully maturing bow did it happen that tho only ship available, (the one means of communication) was previously chartered by them.' "My opponents have taken the only vessel which could be obtained for the purpose and hearing of their Intention to send a delegation of their number to present their side of this conlllct before you I requested the favor of sending by the same vessel an envoy to you to lay be fore you my statement asj the fncts appear to myself and my loyal subjects. This request has been refused and I now ask you that in Justice to myself and my people no steps be taken by the government ot i..e United St!is until my cause can be heard by you." (Queen Llliuokalanl's Protest supra.) How heeded the man who wns presi dent of the United States this appeal for Justice from a woman and a queen? Did these self-constituted commission ers want both slde3 heard? Did they want Justice done? No. they sail away with one side of the question, leaving Justice and the other side with the savages, to San Francisco there to un load a cargo of treason and falsehood, dishonesty and mlspresentation. San Francisco had all along been making Itself unpleasantly conspicuous In Hawaiian affairs and It was congenial atmosphere that these annexation agents and agitators breathed upon landing there. They nt once adopted and afterward pursued and still main tain a systematic course of innuendo and equivocation, exaggeration and pretension. It was from this vantage ground that a most daring lie was perpetrated by one of them. Castle by name, as appears nnd Is proved by the following two extracts from the New York Herald of Januarv 31. 1S93. "San Fianclsco, Cal.. Jan. 30, 1893. In an Interview published today Commis sioner Castle Is credited with saying that President-elect Cleveland's views had been sounded and found to be favorable to annexation. 'I received today,' Commissioner Castle Is quoted as saying, 'a despatch that satisfies us that President-elect Cleveland looks favorably upon our proposal. Naturally that has given great encouragement to us' 'You said that you had reassuring information concerning Mr. Cleveland's position In tho promises. Can you give more definitely the na ture of this assurance?' 'Well, Immed iately, on our arrival here I sent a personal telegram to Mr. Whitney ask ing him to place our matter before the President-elect and lenrn how he con sidered it. I received a reply from Mr. Whitney. While I obviously can not make public the reply, It being In no sense an ofllclal and public document, I will say It was most satisfactory to us." ' CONTRADICTED. The other dispatch reads-, "No word from Cleveland. He hns not assured the Hawaiian Commission ers of his sympathy. Mr. Clevelnnd said yesterday that he had not ex piessed himself to anybody on the sub ject of annexation of Hawaii by the United States and bad not given It con sideration. If he had formed an opin ion, ho said, it would not be proper for him to express It nt the present time. The president-elect was led thus to de clare; himself by reading the despatch from Fan Francisco, in which Commis sioner Castle was quoted as saying that he sent a formal- telegram to Mr. Whit ney asking him to place the matter be fore the presldent-eKct and learn how ho considered It, and that ho had re ceived a reply from Mr. Whitney that satisfied him that Mr. Cleveland looked favorably upon his proposal. Mr. Whitney told me he had re ceived a despatch from Commis sioner Castle asking him to get an expression of opinion from Mr. Cleveland upon the applica tion of the provisional uovernment of Hawaii to become n part of the United States, but that he had made no reply to Commissioner Castle. Comment is unnecessary. It Is tho word of Grover Cleveland and William C. AVhltney against that of one Castle, Castle from Hawull. Reeking with revolution, the rebel envoys are enthusiastically received In Ean Francisco, tho hot-bed of Kanaka annexation, but Chinese exclusion. Having flooded the press with exparte statements tntended to mislead, a charlatan procession through the wide, "wild nnd woolly west" Is begun. Upon their arrival at the cnpltol the same re ception was accorded them as I hat to properly accredited envoys from a friendly foreign power. Tho president and his cabinet had as much, if not more information than coniness nnd the people at large, and knew that thrs men were self-nppolnted Insurrec tionists and traitors to their sovereign at whose court, as a friendly power, wo had commissioned and were still repre sented by a minister plenopotentlary and envoy extraordinary. Ho knew ot th'o character of their statements. He knew that there was no ono to repre sent the other side. He knew that some tlmo must elapce before It would be poEslblo for any such representative to get to Washington. Everybody knows he knew that Justice, Impar tiality, equity, honor, decency demnnds the hcnrlng of both sides of n question before decisive nctlcn. Hut, Instead, President Harrison grasped with avidi ty the elusive scheme presented by tho ndventurcts. At their behest he grant ed oillclal audiences and culled cabinet meetings. They prepare a proposed treuty between the United Stntes and the so-called provisional government nt Hawaii for the, annexation of that king dom by tnls icpubllc of the United States. This Joint emanation of n pres ident of the United States and llvi ob streperous citizens of tho Sandwich Is- I lauds, Is a unique testament of the egotistical bombast, Ignorant conceit nnd moral callousness ot Its colnbora- tetus. The self-constituted commis sioners undertake to convey nil tho public and crown lands of Hawaii whether they were Individual and nrl vnte. property of the queen or not. And our aml&ble president graciously con cents that she shall receive In lieu thereof $20,000 nnnunll. The Princess Knlulanl is provided for with u gross sum of $150,000. Hy wtiat process Uen Jumln Hnnlson appraised tho value of thrones Is not stated. If they were en titled to anything at all, Is It not proof they wer pussessed of Inallenabb rights which he was violating? THE TREATY SIGNED. This treaty was drawn up, signed and submitted, for ratification td tho senate of the United States before it was possible for an expostulation or remonstrance to be received from those , wnose inalienable, inherited rights it was taking forever away." A state pa- 1 per approved bv' his excellenev .'the 'president, and bearing the signature of the secretary of state of the United States of America, conjointly with that or willlnm R. Castle, Is sul generus. It appears in full In the -New York Herald of Feb. 17, 1893, and should be preserved as "a monument of over weening ambition nnd the lust of greed. On the' 15th day of February, U93, tho messenger from, the queen of Hawaii, bearing her protest and appeal for Justice to the president of the United tntes, had only got as far as Lincoln, Neb., on his way to Washington. This ils whnt he there said: "The presi dent is bound by every law of court esy to wait until he hears the other side of the case." (New York Ilcrifld, Feb. IS, 1893). This is the message he lime from the queen: "His Excellency, Uenjamln Hnnlson, president of the United Stats, my great nnd good friend: It Is with deep re gret that I address you on this occa sion. Some of my subjects, aided by nllens.have t enounced their loyalty nnd revolted against the constitutional gov ernment of my kingdom. They have nttempted to depose me and to establish I j provisional government, in direct con lllct with the otganlc law ot this king dom. Upon receiving Incontestable proof that his excellency, the minister plenipotentiary of the United States, aided and abetted their unlawful move ments and "caused United States troops to be landed for that purpose, I sub mitted to force, believing that he would not have acted In that manner unless by authority of tho government he .'ep-resent-. This action on my part was prompted by three reasons the futility of a conflict with the United States, the desire to avoid violence and bloodshed, and the destruction of life and prop erty, and the certainty I feel that you and your government will right what ever wrongs may have ben Inflicted upon us in the premises. In due tlmo a statemen. of truo facts relating to this matter will be laid before you, and I live in the hone that you will Judg? uprightly nnd justly betwvn myself and my enemies. This appeal Is not made for myself personally, but for my people, who have hitherto always en Joyed the friendship and protection of the United States. "My oponents have taken the only vessel that could be obtained for -he purpose and hearing of their Intention to send a delegation of their number to present their side of this conflict before you, I requested the favor of sen ling by the same vessel an envoy to you, to lay befoie you my statement as the facts appear to myself and my loyal subjects. This request has been refused and I now nsk you that In Justice to myself and my people no stens be tnUcn by the government of th United States uniii iiij- cause can oe pearu by you. I shall be able to dispatch an envov about the 2d day of February, as that will be the first available opportunity hence and he will reach you with ev ry possible haste, that there may be no delay In the settlement of this matter 1 pray you, therefore, my good friend, that you will not allow, any conclusions to bo reached by you until nn' envoy nrrlves. I beg to assure you of the con tinuance of my highest consld latlon. Lllluokalanl, R. Honolulu, Jan. 1?, 1893. On Feb. in, 1S93, the proposed treaty wa3 sent to the senate accompanied by a message from the president of which the following is an extract: "Prompt action upon this treaty Is very desirable." (New York Herald, Feb. 17, 1S93.) Ever haste; haste be tokening fear and guilty conscience. Indecorous, Indecent, brutal haste. Alas! for the cruel machinations of the American D'Israell and his Kanaka coadjutors, the United States senate is a deliberative body. That proposed treaty has not been acted upon yet; having very properly been withdrawn by President Cleveland. TALSE REPRESENTATIONS. Fiom the tlmo of the arrival Jn San Francisco of CasjIo,an.d hi3 conferere3 until the Inauguration of Mr. Cleve land the annexation hue and cry was never allowed to lag. The papers teemed with editorials nnd communi cations upon it. Never, except per haps In relation to the Chinese, has this people so shown their character in Its truo light. In all the arguments advanced for annexation the advant ages and benefits to nccrue to tho United States aie alluringly expatiat ed upon, the only allusion to the right to annex Hawaii being accompanied by a statement that if the United States did not absorb. Hawaii some other power would, which, of course, pioves our unqueztloned tight to do so, and which, if the pro-anuexatlonlsts have a sufficient knowledge, to entitle them to make themselves heard at all, they must know Is absolutely Impossible nnd untrue. While present treaties exist no "nation can seize Hawaii, and If the treaties were broken and such an attempt were made. It would in stantly be frustrated by the laws of International comity or by war. Ad mit that we want Hawaii very much, docs that' give us the right to take It? Only on one condition that of a large majority of the natives desiring annexation. If this deslro does confer such a right, wo have the right to annex Cuba. It Is well known that tho Cubans would be glad to escape the yoke of Spanish oppression and plunder, and desire the United States to adopt them In preference to any other power. We hav.o wanted Cuba more, and we have wanted Cuba long er than wo havo wanted Hawaii. Then why do we not annex Cuba? Hecauae we do not dare. Why do wo even for an Instant propose to annex Hawaii? Because) we ore bulles, braggarts and hypocrites and dare. The Cubans are a minority of Spain's subjects, On the theory we are offered for the an nexation of Hawaii, we would be en titled to annex not Cuba- only but Spain. Tho difference In elzo does not alter the question of equity. DON'T WANT TO JOIN. Hut this ono posslblo condition docs not exist In the Hawaiian case. Tho majority of bona fldo Hawaiian? do not desire or nsk annexation. The Illustrat ed Amerlcnn for May 6, 159.1, tnys: "Charles Nordhaff, perhaps tho ablest and undoubtedly the most brilliant cor respondent ever employed by James Gordon Uonnett, writes from Honolulu where he was sent by the New York Herald 'that the forty thousand na tives of tho Sandwich Islands are rolldly opposed to nnnexatlon to the United States' while by no means nil of the 1.29S Amei leans men, women, nnd children living In the Islands, want or cry out for annexation! In proof of his statement that these 1.92S are not unnnlmous In their views on annexa tion, Mr. NordhoiT points out that the annexation and provisional scheme has made trouble In social circles, trouble in the church nnd business relations, ho so luthlessly have tho planter an nexationists pushed their revolutionary scheme and purpose among their own class. An American or other foreigner who does not go In for annexation must keep quiet or suffer persecution In church, society, nnd business." Again. "From the Hawaiian stand point the question of nnnexatlon may be dismissed In it few words. It Is un popular with all classes. There Is but u small clique of Amerlcnn ngltators nnd sehemeis hero who deslte It." Letter front Honolulu by nntlve ten dnys be fore revolution. In New York Hejra'ld. Jan. 31, 1S93, quoted above). Ar.d again: "From my acquaintance with the Hawaiian population of this Island Oahu I can assure you that the people had no part In the plot which resulted in the dethronement of their Queen. They nre one nnd all friendly to the United States and OVsIro our frlend- ship; but with a very few exceptions I they wish for thejr Independence nnd ! the restoration of their Queen all means are employed to create a de mand for nnnexatlon the pa mpers here publish absurd and unfound ed tumors of Interference by the Japanese and their foreign powers, all of which are designed to reach the United Stnten nnd to Influence public j opinion there. Uovcrnmcnt otllcers, no matter how competent, must go It they do not favor the schemes of these men. It is by no means a free country here." (Letter from Henry C. Catter, New York Herald, April 22, 1S93.) Finally: The Queen ot Hawaii raises her solemn note of protest. "Hawallans detest the very thought of annexation. It Is not antagonism as yet to the United States, but It Is the overwhelming grief with which our na tive eyes shall behold any llag sur mounting our fair shores, except that one which Is associated indelllbly with the memories of our glorious past gloilous not In might and battle, but In the noble efforts of our nation to clothe Itself with the fair robe of en llghtenmen', religion and commerce." THE AVERAGE VIEW. The average press editorial says: "The attempt of the Queen of Hawaii to abrogate the constitution of the Is lands nnd establish a despotism, etc.," was the cause of the recoil. The queen in her protest says: "Shortly after my accession I made a tour of the Islands. Nothing could be more affecting than tho loyalty of my people. But from every side petitions came pouring In. Imploring mo to give a new constitu tion. They contained thousands of sig natures, the numefl of those from all classes who felt by the existing con stltutlon tho natives were deprived of their Just and Inalienable rights. I would not deprive one white man of one legitimate right, but under this constitution any newly arrived white man, without Interest or Intention of residence, Is placed as a voter over the heads of thousands of my subjects, to whom God has given these Islands and no other home; besides, Hawaii Is as dear to the Hawaiian as America Is to its people." Think of that state of af fairs, ye great American voter. Who is responsible for that constitution? The "missionary reform party," ns represented by one Lorrln A. Thurston. Who Is Lorrln A Thurston? Former'y a powerful member of the government, lcyal to the queen. As to these Islands becoming the pro potty of other nations, Harrison, In his message accompanying the Illegal con tract of sale velept a treaty to tho F,enate, adopts the same specious pleu. "It Is essential that none of the other great powers shall secure these Is lands," How fallacious this argument is, has been shown by the remarkable letter to tho European edition of and printed In the New York Herald, Feb ruary 23, 1893 remarkable for Its clev erness conciseness and completeness .. . For nfty years this policy has simply been that the United States did not desire to annex the Hawaiian Is lards, but Insisted upon their remain ing independent and would not permit any other power to annex them. This position, moreover, was established not only by precedent, by olllclnl corres pondence with England and France, but also by the treaty of 18S7. We al ready hold all the advantages of this Gibraltar of the Pacific, without any of the grave entangling responsibilities, naval, military, financial and political, that would tn Involved by nnnexa tlon." Naal responsibilities are just what the nuvy wants. The argument Is a subterfuge calculated to enlist th partisanship of the navy and It did. Tho folowing Is from the New York Herald. Feb. IS. 1893: "For a Naval Sta tion. Naval authorities are so confi dent of the ratification of tho Hawaiian annexation treaty that they are already talking about what should be done to ward the peimanent establishment of a naval coaling station in those Islands. However this may be, navy officers hope that there will be no de lny In using the available funds for dredging out Pearl Harbor Just as soon as annexation Is an assured fact. After this is done the question of defenses for the hnibor will be in order. Without proper defenses Peail Harboi us a base of supplies for tho Pacific fleet will be worthless in war times. Indeed, worse than useless, as It would be equivalent to furnishing ammunition to the enemy having superior foicv. This matter of Improving Perl Harbor will, of course, go over until the next administration but the subordlnuU- officials believe that the present would be a good time to beln the preliminary of surveying, etc., bo confident are they that annexa tion will prevail. They are also hoping tlmt the picurai t congrers will make provision for a Hawaiian cable In order that work may be commenced during tho coming summer." This Is as charm ing n piece of assurance 0,3 could well be. Not "the old llag" but Pearl Har bor "and an appropriation." NOT AN ACCOMPLICE. As to the assertion In Hani3on'r mesfago that the overthrow of tho monarchy waa not In any way promot ed by this government, whether it Is a deliberate faUehood or not may be gathered from his knowledge ot all that Stevens did and also the following: " It is realized that the llrst move necessary Is tho dredging of Pearl Harbor so as to make? nccuss possible for our men-of-wnr, An Appropriation of $250,000 waB made nvallnblo for this purpose at the last seislofl. Bo secretly was thin done that many 'people now havo the r.usplclon that the state etc pnrtmont knew as early n last winter that affairs on the Island wero about to culminate as they have. Indeed, th" repeated eflorts made by navy olllcorrt to hnvo this fund utilized during, the past ye?r under the old treaty glvlns tw control of Pearl Harbor, and tho failure of the state department to pay tny attention to the request would sem to show pretty conclusively that the administration wns looking for some thing of the kind that l.an Just hap pened." Before dismissing Anally the ruhjeet of Harrlton'n eullty participa tion with the Hawaiian rebels, which 1 appears too plain for further considera tion, attention should be caltcd to the I following from the Seattle, (Wash.,) ' Telegraph: "Tho special correspondent of the New York Herald sends some In- I tere3tlng infotmntlon from Hawaii. If I the fncts are as he nlleges, Minister Stevens r.cted In a manner absolutely unwarranted by the comity of natluns. which is the same between n great nnd a small power us between two govern ments of. the llr.it-clnns. In view of tho fncts which have been btought to light, tho extreme haste of President Har rison to rush rn annexation treaty thtotigh Hi the closing hours of his ad ministration appears Incomprehensible nnd the wisdom of the more conserva tive couse taken by Mr. Cleveland Is emphasized." And this from the Wichi ta (Kanrna) Beacon: "Charles Nord hnff, who n new in Honolulu for the New York Herald, hns secured evidence that tho troops from the Boston were landed under tho order of Stevens be fore, not after, the revolution. It hi ems to have been a rebellion nglnst the government of Hawaii 11:1 the part ot Mr. Stevens Instead of tin- oeoule ot Hawaii." (New York Herald," May 23.) THE REAL MOTIVE. What Is tho underlying motive ot this conspiracy of Hawaiian mercan tile mlsslonailes and American hlsjh officials of an American minister plenipotentiary, secretary of state, ot llcers of the navy and the president of tho United Stntes in league with Ha waiian rebels? "Under the special treaty of 1876 admitting Hnwnllnn sug ar free to the United States, money in vested in plantations paid 60 per cent, per annum. Since tho McKlnley law put West Indian sugar on tho free list footing with the Hawaiian article, the late of return has been barely 10 per cent. Hence the Hawaiian 1 evolution, and desire for annexation. Hawaii, which makes little or nothing but sug ar, wants to be a part of the United States in order to get the benefit of tho bounty of $10.00 per ton now paid to American producers, if the bount.' Is allow'ed to remain, or to escape the operation of the duty on the staide, vMch the Democrats will re-Impose If they do not so allow It." (Attlcle In New York Press, Jan. 29, 1893). "But when the present tariff abol ished the duty on sugar, the share holders ot the Hawaiian Commercial company (a sort of trust concern 1 even assessed heavily to pay the ex penses of stock, recently felling at ten and fifteen cents a share which Is now held mostly by Claus Sprcckels. Annexation would of course put millions Into the pockets of these shareholders." (Letter to Herald, Feb. 23) And so It Is for this we are asked to annex Ilawall, to defy neutrality and the comity of nations; to rob and op press a friendly Power too weak to de fend Itself; to set at naught the will 'of a majority; to Ignore justice to others and disgrace ourselves; -to deny such an appeal as this from the Princess Kalulanl, n woman, oh! you chivalrous Amerocan men: KAIULANI'S APPEAL. "To the American people: Unbidden I stand upon your shores today, when I thought so soon to receive a royal welcome on my wny to my own king dom. I come unattended except by the loving hearts who have come with me over the wintry seas. I hear that com missioners from my land havo been for many days asking this great nation to take away my little vineyard. They si eak no word to me and leave me to And out as I can from the rumors of thc oir that they would leave me with out a. home or a name or a nation. Seventy years ago Christian America rent over Christian men and women to give religion and civilization to Ha waii. They gave us the Gospel, they made us a nation and we learned to love and trust America. Today three of these missionaries are at your eap Ital asking you to undo their father's work. Who sent them? Who gave them the authority to break the consti tution which they swore they would up hold? Today I, a poor, weak girl, with not one of my kin near me and all the3e Hawaiian statesmen ncalnst me. have strength to stand up for the rights of my people. Even now I can hear their wall In my heart, and it gives me strength and courage, and I am strong strong in the faith of God, stions In tho knowledge that I am right, strong in the strength of seventy millions of people who In this free land will hear my cry and will refuse to let their llag cover dishonor to mine." Where has there ever been uttered a more pathetic, touching nppeal? In nately exquisite In sentiment", eloquent In Its natural, chaste pure language, powerful In its absolute truth. Which Is the savage the supplicant or those to whom it Is made in vain? As soon as possibly practicable after his assumption of tho administration Mr. Cleveland sent Mr. Blount to Ha waii, as the only tellable method to ascertain the true condition of nffalis and undo, if possible, what harm he.d been done by the treachery, unwar rantable Interference and breach of neutrality by a rascally United States diplomatic official. So used to the dls Ingenuousness of that officer were the usurping rulers In Hnwall that they at tempted to seduce Mr. Blount by the exercise of their choicest blandishments at the moment of his arrival In Hono lulu. "The band of the provisional government welcomed the new nrrlvals with strains of the 'Star Spangled Banner." A dclecntlon from tho An nexation club was hastily formed and welcomed the commissioner nt the boat landing. A party of about seventy-five Hawaiian women from the wo men's branch of the Hawaiian Patriotic league, benrlng tho Amerlcnn and Ha waiian (lags, also proceeded to the dock. Dr. J. S. McOraw. chairman nnd Piesldent Scott and aeneral Hattwll, ar a committee from the Annexation club, United States Minister Stevens, F. P. Hastings, secretaiy or foreign nf fairs nnd aid to President Dole: Major Robertson, the queen'? chamberlain, and the newspaper conespondents put oft to the Ruth to pay their respects to the ccmmlsfloner." (Scianton Till ur.o April 6, 1S93.)

The "missionary children" rnny technically be "natives," hut are by nature antagonistic to the general ac ceptation of the word native. The prominent use of the word by tha "missionary children" Is undoubtedly Intended to mislead for political pur poses. But all the cajolery of the reb els, the blare of the provisional gov ernment band, obsequiousness of tho Annexation club, even the flag-waving women of "the women's branch of tho Hawaiian Patriotic league," failed to entice Commissioner Blount from tho Impartial performance of his duty. JIAULKD DOWN THE FLAG. " Whet depleted the aboriginal popu lation, who the annexationists are, what Inducements they offer, what tho Hawaiian administration undertook' to do and how, what the Hawaiian and A 111 ci lean co-cousplrators' behavior has been, what their arguments are hus" been shown, and It remains but to pre sent an example of the language of their adheicnts In the public press: t "Washington, April 14 The news from Honolulu this morning shows that Mr. Blount has accomplished at last what he tried to do some thirty years, ago, 'Haul down the American flag.' The news that the ex-Confederate who Is representing Grover Cleveland In Hawaii had ordered 'Old Glory' down and cnlmlv wit upon tho porch of his cottage and watched It done while the crowd of 2,000 Hawallans beheld With sorTow tho Stars and Stripes descend caused a terrible sensation here. But there was a general expression c regret anions the naval officers at.tha occurrence. It Is a blow at the navy which will be felt for some time and the order of the commissioner to undo what oer naval and diplomatic repre sentatives at the Islands have ordered. Is spoken of here as' a circumstance which will not ptove pleasant for naval ocers. That Mr. Blount aeU ed on instructions is. not denied. He, was to'd before he left here exactly what to do. Mr, Carter, the only annexation commissioner In the city said: 'The news is a disappoint ment to me. I, as well as all the other Hawallans, hoped that when tho'Ahier Icnn flag went up over the Islands It would never come down. When th Hug was raised Mr. Foster, as secretary of state, disavowed any proteotorate, but the Islanders felt secure with It theie. Where gallant Ben Har tlson raised Old Glory over the 'Pearl of the Pacific' Grover Cleveland sends an ex-rebel to haul It down. This lat ter fact Is what rankles, nnd causes so much talk here today. The Very head line In the Morning Post, 'Old Glory Hauled Down," sent a thrill through the capital, nnd, when It was found that It was ordered down by an ex rebel, many sighed for another John A. Dlx In the cabinet " Scranton Tribune. April 15, 1S93. Notwithstanding the multiplication of such partisan abuse by the Associat ed Press correspondent, whose reports should be Impartial, Mr. Blount com pleted the Investigation he was sent to make. At C'o time of his return the I'nlted States was absorbed In the sil ver discussion, and tho Hawaiian, af fair was temporarily dismissed. But It Is now revived and proves to be one ot the most remarkable and nt the same time humiliating episodes In the coun try'a history. At present the prcra Is filled with suggestion of what enn nnd cannot, what tihoulJ and should not lie dune. With thee It l.s not the province of this article to neal. It is ol'cred t-lmply as a collection of facto without the knowledge of which It is Impossible to form a eoircct Judgment. What the It gal liability of the actois In the con spiracy and of the United States to tlio , legitimate Government of Hawaii Is, remains to be seen. This phase of tlv subject has probably been little thougnt of nnd when It Is once lu the hands, as the writer believes It will shortly be, of our Great constitutional lawyera at Wnshlnuton, It may prove an tin- -pleasant surpiio to many of he blat ant sympathizers with the rebel gov ernment now in possession of the Ha- r wnllan island.
