MANIFESTO.

KALAKAUA's MANIFESTO.
Two days after the meeting, a manifesto was issued
by Col. Kalakaua, copies of which were literally
distributed in Honolulu and forwarded to the other
islands. 1t was worded in the old fguratiye and
poetical style and is interesting as a specimen battle
call of the Hawaiian precivilized age. The following
is a translation Of this document

This is the voice
"Ho all ye tribes. Ito my own ancient people (!
