TIE EX-QUEEN NON-SUITS HER
OWN CASE.
The RoyaIist CaHse Co1Iapses.
She Surrendered 10 the Provisional
Government without Recourse.

The substance Of the following
document was contained in HO-
nolulu dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Morning Call several months
ago and created much comment in
the United States. The document
shows the Calls dispatch was sub
ssantially correct, although Mr..
Neumann openly denied its truth
at the time.
When Mr.. Neumann returned 10
Honolulu, and severed his profess
sional relations with the ex-queen,
he made certain disclosures to the
government which relieved them
from any further secresy regarding
the matter and the cabinet deter
mined to make it public whenever
they deemed the circumstances
and the welfare Of the country de-
manded. President Dole lately
decided that such a time has
arrived and the document is now
published in full:
