MINISTER BLoUNT.
From Daily, May Isl

hLAl--
Hon. James H. Blount took the
oath of Office yesterday afternoon
Before United States Consul-Gener-
al Severance. he is now to all
intents and purposes United States
Minister to Hawaii, acting under
full authority as Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary. He viii probably present
his credentials at the Hawaiian
foreign Office today.
Hon. John L. Stevens, ex-Minis-.
ter to Hawaii, received instructions
from Washington yesterday to turn
over the United States Legation,
together with the archives and
records, to the new minister. This
viii be done without delay.
1t viii be encouraging TO the
public to know that Hawaii will
be left, upon the departure Of Hon.
il Stevens, under the care Of
capable, wise and just United
States representative ike Minister
Blouut, acting with full authority
and discretionary power. He has
already won the confidence of all
classes of our citizens there Is no
shadow Of doubt that he viii con-
tinue 10 receive the moral support
Of all citizens interested in the
establishment and maintenance Of
just, popular and stable govern
ment in Hawaii.

POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS.

At present it would be useless to
speculate as to the causes which
have determined Commissioner
Blount to publish his instructions
from the state department at
Washington under which he is
acting. That he has reached
point in his investigations which
justifes his action, none will
doubt. That there Is more or less
significance in the publication at
the present state of affairs, must
be admitted by all accustomed to
studying the course Of inter
national diplomacy. In any event
the publication will serve TO throw
light upon many points doubtful
heretofore, and viii dash some of
the baseless hopes and wilder
theories, regarding Commissioner
Blount's intentions and alleged in
structions, which have passed cur
rent IN royalist circles from the
moment the United States steamer
Rush entered the harbor.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-05-23
NO DANGER.

The cry that the military estab-
lishment of the Provisional govern
ment is threatening the country
with bankruptcy is open to an
objection. The expense Of the
present military is not so great as
that incurred heretofore for the
support of an improbable royalist
court that was neither a credit to
itself nor the country. The Pro-
visional government is now saving
about $SO,5OO a year on the former
civil list and crown lands absorb
ton.
Add to this the amount of
$4,000 for the support of the ex-
queens guards and the total will
leave a handsome balance after
the naturally heavy expenses of
the first years military establish
ment are deducted. Besides, the
military will aid in establishing
and maintaining a stable govern
ment, which will, ere many
months, be able to turn this large
amount of money over to the peo-
pie for public uses and improve
ments. The Provisional govern
ment viii never bankrupt Hawaii ;
this danger passed away with the
fall of the monarchy.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-05-23

The publication of Commission
er Blount's instructions is a severe
blow to the political tactics of the
ex-queen's following. For some
time it has been known that the
royalist cause has been bolstered
principally by allegations made
upon the Commissioners power and
instructions to restore the monarchy.
The whole mainstay of the royal
ist cause consequently falls to the
ground with the publication of the
document itself. Within the last
fortnight the ex-queen actually
told a prominent native citizen of
Maui to 60 home and continue
to support her cause, as she would
be restored to the throne by the
middle Of June. Just so long as
the contents of the Commissioners
instructions remained unknown
the rOyali-ts were enabled to hold
the natives to their cause with

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-05-23
hopes and promises which they
knew had no foundation in fact.

THE disposition lately mani
tested by the American press to
somewhat severely criticise the APP
pointment of Commissioner Blount
arises partly, at least, because the
tenor and scope of his instructions
have not been known there. To
those already acquainted with the
text of his instructions, some of
the dispatches lately sent out from
Washington seem especially alb
surd. The dispatch alleging Com
missioner Blount was sent here in
structed to report against annexa-
ton is one of the class referred to.
Party feeling and prejudice may
have something to do with the
present widespread criticisms of
the democratic administration. 1t
is to be hoped it has; for it would
be exceedingly unfortunate for the
democratic party, and especially
so for Hawaii, were the Cleveland
administration TO procrastinate
with annexation or to become
openly opposed thereto. This, how
ever is hardly to be expected.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-05-23

As FINANCIAL comments seem to
be in order by the royalist journals.
it may not be out of the way to call
attention to the Hawaiian bond
statements, made by them lately,
and the testimony of Minister Por-
ter in the Bush case Tuesday.
Regarding the financial standing
of the government and the sale of
bonds, it may be well to point out
that the minister of finance has
already disposed of $4,000 of these
at par, and that he will sell $780,
600 more during the month at the
same figure. OF course these state
ments are not pleasant to the royal
list critics of the present govern
ment, but they are the facts.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-05-23

the document is decisive and out
spoken. The United States will
adhere to its consistent and estab-
lished policy and viii not acqui-
esce in domestic interference by
foreign powers.
As to the effect which Will be
produced by the publication Of the
instructions, there can be little or
no doubt. Both the Provisional
government and Americans gener-
ally have fully and freely entrusted
the annexation cause to Mr.. Blount,
subject to any investigations he
might see fit to make under his in
structions at no time have they
attempted to anticipate his action
or lead him to PREJUDICE the case.
They have at ali times rlgldly ad-
hered to the argument Of facts and
figures, coupled with evident nation
al conditions and tendencies backed
by the moral and political forces Of
the community, which they believe
to be irresistible for the establish
ment of stable government and the
future welfare of the islands. They
hopefully retain this stand, and
the text of Commissioner Blount's
instructions now gives them surer
hope in doing so.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-05-23

Il Is not our purpose to attempt
an analysis of Commissioner
Blount's instructions. They are
certainly plain enough to need no
commentary, as they are full
enough to exclude all doubts as TO
his future action. The fullest in
quiry here and report to the United
States government will be made.
In the mean time the existing
treaty Of annexation will be
held in allegiance but the
United States will, pending In
vestigation and settlement, give
adequate protection to the life and
property of citizens of the United
States, and, if necessary, will re-
press any lawless and tumultuous
acts threatening them. Commits
sioner Blount's note at the end of
his instructions corresponds fully
with what he stated on his arrival
to the Provisional government, and
seems to US the act of wise and
cautious diplomat, such as he is
reported to be.

An incident of the raising of the
American flag in California, SINH
lar to the raising of the flag in
Honolulu, has been recalled by the
early settlers there. In 1912, Com
modore Jones of the U. S. navy,
under the impression that the Unit
ed States were at war with Mexico,
took forcible possession of Monte
rey, hoisted the stars and stripes
and proclaimed California a terri
tory of the United States. Dis
corning his mistake the following
day, he hauled down the flag and
made such apology as the circum-
stances would admit. A few years
later, however, the flag was raised
again and remained up.

annexation Buttons.

The annexation club secured six
gross of silk annexation buttons
by the steamer Australia. Con-
siderable trouble and expense were
incurred in procuring the buttons,
but they finally succeeded through
Mr.. J. S. Martin. A portion of the
buttons will be sent to the clubs
on the other islands and the re-
mainder will be distributed free to
members of the club in Honolulu.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-05-23

THE repeated assertion that the
government is short of ready cash,
or has been short, needs a word of
explanation. The Impeachment
must be admitted; this will do the
royalist heart good. But the reason
must also be given; this viii make
every lover and supporter Of good
government feel his trust has not
been misplaced. The reason the
Provisional government has been
short of ready cash is that the last
royalist administration had spent
over $4,000 on the second section
of the appropriation bill, out of the
available cash in the treasury, be-
fore they had even printed the
bonds, which were to be sold to
furnish the money for that section.
As soon as this misrepresentation
of money is made up there will be
no further shortage in ready cash,
as the government is living within
the current revenue of about $780,
600 a month. There are some other
important facts connected with Ha-
waiian finances which the royalist
critics have overlooked.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-05-23

The statement has been made in
some of the American newspapers
that Hon. Harold Sewall, during
his present visit to Honolulu, has
claimed to act and speak for Presi-
dent Cleveland in regard to Ha-
waiian affairs. After careful in
quiry, we have the best reason to
believe the statement is entirely
without foundation. So far as can
be learned, his visit here is of a
private nature, and whatever views
he may have expressed, if any, are
wholly his own.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-05-23

There is one point deserving of
notice in the document, and that
is while the enquiry into Ha-
waiian affairs in detail is left to
the wisdom and sound discretion
Of Commissioner BOunt final de-
cision on the merits of the case is
