the sixth; Tester and Cumming were not
there that night; there was Chinaman
there, All Fon, the editor OF q paper; We
had q meeting that night at the same
place in the dining-room; Wilcox
wanted to carry out his project that
night; he had thirteen rifles | think out
there; he told the members who were
there that he thought the project could

Der that were there; all that had not
taken the oath took it that night; l
didn't see the Chinaman take the oath /;
it was the same organization that We
had formed on the reef; they all OBJ

had about thirteen guns ST that time;
saw them, they were in his room few
PAGES from the dining-room; Wilcox

the same uniform he had on out here on
the S0th: he had Winchester, Spring
field and Sharp's rifles and ammunition I;
it.xas proposed 10 go down TO the Palace
that night; but it was voted because
there were too few for the purpose Of
getting the King 10 sign q constitution,
and then, as Wilcox told me, to over
throw the Ministry, and that he was to
appoint himself dictator after that and
put the country under marshal law, and
then appoint his own Ministers and then
replace the power Of the King; We in
tended 10 use the guns for the purpose Of
carrying out that object; there were two
or three guards outside 70 protect US
from eavesdroppers; l was one of the
guards; had 3 revolver; Geo. Mark
ham was guard; don't know how he
was armed; Loomens said that he
thought the natives were not treated
right and he sympathiLed with them /;

was not there the sixth meeting:
Testa and Cummings didn't want
10 swear 10 the constitution; they
said 10 let them out entirely from it;
they did not take the oath; Baker took
the oath Poepoe stood up and talked, he
was IN favor OF the move that was going
to be carried out that night, TO 90 down
TO the Palace. the rest OF them objected:
Loomens and An Fon were there that
night; All Fon he was there with FIVE
other Chinese; one OF them sWore 10
the oath OF the constitution, that was
Pakoo; Baker said that he was going
home; on the 18th Of July he went to
