will be taken entirely out Of the Govern
hents hands.
The plans and organization of the citi-
zens' reserve are complete. They are fully
armed and can throw 500 men in the field
in half hours time. II break is made
the work of determination OF the royalist
leaders, from the ex-Queen down, will be
swift and terrible, and no power residing
in either the Provisional Government or
the United States forces would be prompt
enough to stay the work. In the ranks of
this organization are many of the best and
wealthiest citizens of Honolulu, and every
man in the organization will perform his
work.
The effect which this organization has
had upon the royalsts has been one which
has excited the liveliest fears aud has no
doubt been the cause that has DELAYED the
copsummation of their con piracy, which
was to be carried out by an attack upon
The executive building with dynamite,
after which the mem rrs of the Provisional
Government were TO be shot down with
out mercy.
Some unknown persons hung large
placard on the front gate OF Spreckels'
Puma hou residence last week, upon which
was portrayed a skull ana crossbones,
with the words, 'Gold and silver cannot
stop lead" Mr.. Spreckels became very
angry and claimed he was afraid his life
would be taken, and at once called on
Minister Blount and demanded protection,
which TACT he has since denied. Minister
Bl0unt addressed a note TO President Dole
quoting Mr.. Spreckelo' words tuat he
feared his lie was in danger, and stated
that the Provisional Government could
grant him protection If they thought it
necessary. President Dole referred the
ma tier to the Attorney General, who re-
ferred it to the marshal, and a guard of
two policemen, the same mum Der allowed
Nordhotf, were sent out to his house.
Spreckels was absolutely in no danger and
has since told Marshal Hitchcock TO with
draw the police. but the Government
smiles grimly and keeps them there
When Nordhotf WAS cited to appear for
libeling President Dole and ex-Minister
Stevens in the Herald. Minister Bount
lnterfered, and cited the Cutting case ID
Mexico to extricate his friend NOrdhoff
The Provisional Government protested
formally. but Minister Blount merely
laughed at them, and coolly told them they
were wrong. When the Australia arrived
here last she brought note from Secre-
tary Gresham to Minister Blount, which
sustained the protest of the Provisional
Government, that the Cutting case was
not parallel, and that NOrdhoff should
be turned over to the Provisional Govern
ment. The Cabinet here attempted to
keep the matter dark. presumably to shield
Blount, who had committed so palpable an
error but the matter was brought to light
by question asked in the council by Mr.
Emmeluth, and although evasively
answered it has since been admitted to
The CALL representative on the best
of authority. Even Blount refused to deny
the charge when asked point blank and
referred the reporter to the Provisional
Government. With! the understanding
that Nordhoff was to depart at once, the
Provisional Government agreed to drop
the matter.
The Canadian Pacific Company is pre-
pairing to compete with California for The
Hawaiian Islands trade. The new line OF
steamers has agents here who are making
arrangements to open new trade relations
with the north at once. The new COM
merce will be extended to all products
raised here. and will cover the full line of
island imports from foreign countries.
The first large shipment will be 1000
bags Of rice by the Warrimoo on July
next by NJ. s. Grin baum & Co. of Hone
lulu, who control at least half of the rice
crop of the islands. The present shipment
goes to Portland. The rice business is
only the first of the plan. which the COM
pany intends to extend to the sugar trade.
Your correspondent held long inter-
view with President Dole on the subject
and lis probable support and encourage
ment by the Provisional Government
The result is that | can say the Provisional
Government is favOrably inclined to the
scheme. and believe it will prove a boon
to the Islands in case the United States
should refuse to annex. As stated in my
last letter. the Government will not accept
a protectOrate only as a last resort and in
case England should be asked to take the
islands, our communication with the north
and south would be complete and immedl-
ately practical, even though an exclusive
tariff should be enacted against Hawaii by
the United States.
President Dole cited several branches of
trade which could be probably carried on

that arrangements had already been made
for beginning the importation of lumber
and building materials by the return of
the Warrimoo.
Minister Blount is greatly pleased at the
appointment of Judge Sneed to be his sue
cessor. and expects to leave here by the
10Th of July. He stated to THE GALL
representative that he would take his full
report on the Hawaiian affair with him to
Washington.
On June q the attorneys for the ARE sted
conspirators took out a writ of habeas
corpus. as a test case, liz favor of I. g.
Walker. The case was argued before the
Supreme Court yesterday on the claim that
the men should be bailed. as the Pro
visional Government had no right to
amend the laws and constitution of the
ole monarchy. which we're still in force.
The Supreme Court decided this morning
that the Provisional Government was the
Government of the Hawaiian Islands
legally and de facto, and the prisoners
were remanded under act 50 without bail.
Within an hour the cases were called in
