lngton 10 make treaty with bay
Onet clause, so as to get the United
States to protect the missionary
planters and their tool, the Queen, in
spite of the wishes of the people.
This is another scheme to destroy
the plans of the National Party for
republic.
1T hear that you have been asked
to go at once to Mr.. Blaine and ask
him, etc.
"Yours, etc.,
"ROBERT w. WILCOX"
Apropos of the above letter, the
Associated Press sent out from Wash
ingtOn, November 81, this dispatch:
DIR. Mott Smith, a member of the
Cabinet of the Queen of the Ha-
Waiian Islands, has, with a.represen-
tative of the .. s. signed treaty pro-
viding for absolute free trade between
the two countries. The President has
not yet signed the treaty.
To friend in New York Mr.. Mo-
reno has written some very interest
ing letters concerning the condition
of affairs in Hawaii. Under date of
November % he wrote:
''The revolution will not be sprung
until / have received assurances from
Mr.. Blaine that the United States
navy will not be allowed to interfere
in the domestic affairs of Hawaii,
and that no rounds of ammunition
arms, sailors nor marines will be
loaned to the missionary ring in
Honolulu in the event of reVolu-
ton. It is shame for the United
States to play the part of police
man in the Hawaiian Islands. By
doing so the United States imposes
upon the Hawaiian people q mean,
rapacious, cruel, hypocritical and
tyrannical missionary rule, which is
the worst calamity that ever befell
the race.
"The missionaries are at the bot
tom of all the government troubles in
Hawaii, as well as in Japan, Corea,
China, Siam, Samoa, and every
where they go, They go to country
with carpet-bag filed with Bibles
and mortgage blanks, with which
they take possession of the land of
the natives. The missionaries preach
on Sundays in the churches, do every
kind of worldly tricks and traffic in
their shops during the week and
NEEDLE in politics with their in
trigues all the year round. If Mr..
Blaine complies with the wishes of
the missionaries through the Rev.
Mott Smith, who is now in Wash
ington, by including bayonet clause
in a treaty with Hawaii, he will
commit worse than blunder-a
crime.
"The missionaries are no longer
American citizens, for they, for prov
ender and for pay, have taken office
in Hawaii and have taken the oath of
allegiance to the Hawaiian Crown.
Claus Spreckels is regarded in Hawaii
as a Dutch corner grocer.
'The bayOnet clause [ have refefre ed
to is un-American, inhuman, tyranni-
cal and dishonest and ought to be de-
nounced. It is an outrage upon good,
peaceful, Warm-hearted and honest
race.
"The missionary rule, with it's in
trigues, rapacity, greediness, robbery
and tyranny is unbearable. Claus
Spreckels is the biggest robber of
them all outside of the missionary
ring.
'SThe U. S. Government is badly
represented in Hawaii by small and
incompetent men, such as Mr.Stevens,
the Minister, and the Rev. Mr.. Sever
ance for Consul General. Mr.. Blaine
has been misled concerning Hawaii,
or has been kept in the dark concern.
ing the true condition of affairs. I'm
pardonable, costly and humiliating
blunders. These blunders made the
us. the laughing stock of the natives
of Hawaii as well as foreigners. The
American Minister and the Consul
General are the tools of the English
in Honolulu. The idea of the repre-
sentatives of a great country being
used as cats paws by English rene
gades!
"Claus Spreckels and the American
flag are used for expressing the Ha-
waiians and for sustaining the ini-
quities of the English and Claus
Speckels' own monopoly.
Consul General Severance is a
missionary; I knew him in Hawaii
in several capacities-as a missionary,
as a Hawaiian Custom House en-
ployee, as an auctioneer, as a peddler
and as Hawaiian Consul in San Fran
cisco. Severance is no longer an
American citizen, because he became
a Hawaiian subject years ago. It is
disgrace that he should be the United
States Consul General at Honolulu,
especially as he is an underling of
the English and of the missionaries
and of Claus Spreckels.
1.-THE Sandwich Islands are the Key
of the Pacific. Very soon they will
become an English colony if the peo-
pie of Hawaii do not obtain control of
the islands themselves. The bureau
cracy at the State Department keeps
Secretary Blaine in the dark. He is
almost an invisible person. It is
easier to obtain an audience with the
Pope than with him.
ga condition of affairs similar to
that in Hawaii exists in Samoa, where
the Germans have obtained control, to
the detriment of commerce, prestige
and influence of the United States,
just as the English have done in Ha-
wall.
1.-THE natives of Hawaii feel very
bitterly towards the missionaries.
The Islands have been overrun with
them for many years. They are not
regular denominational missionaries
sent out and supported by established
churches, but independent ministers,
many of them never ordained as
,lergymen, who perhaps went to the
Islands to become rich. They have
