WASHINGTON, Jan. So.-The news that
Queen Liliuokalani had been over
thrown came to the United States gov
ernment with an emphasis that pre-
cluded any doubt as to its authenticity'
An official dispatch to Secretary John
w. Foster, received early Saturday
morning, brought the startling intelli-
pence. He Immediately sent the infor-
nation to President Harrison and to
Mr.. Mott Smith, the representative In
Washington of Queen Liliuokalani Mr.
Smith. however, had already been in
formed and he hurried to the state de-
partment with his dispatch from Mr.
Thurston, the leader of the commission
| sent to negotiate the annexation OF Ha'
! waii to the United States The dispatcf
was dated San Francisco and contained
the substance of information tele
craphed from San Francisco by thu
t press dispatches
! Another telegram Of an official char
aoter from San Francisco was also re
3 ceiyed by an official in this city. l
said that Queen Liliuokalani started
!. revolution on January IA in attempt
n ing TO abrogate the constitution an
G promulgate a new one. The revolutio
of the people was successful the quee
v dethroned and provisional govern
: ment proclaimed, with S. b. Dole q
a president The dispatch stated ths
d the new government had been recot
a. nized by all the powers except Englan
n and that commissioners have been sen
TO Washington to promote annexatic
n with this country.
Mott Smith reached the departmei
ye shortly before II o'clock While wal
q ing for Secretary Foster he told
porter about the probable cause OF rev
luton as suggested by the statemel
that the queen had attempted to abr
cd gate the constitution.
az in 1887" said Mr.. Mott Smith, e
re king Of Hawaii was given almost abs
lutte power. He could appoint and d
40 miss his ministers at will and had mol
ov strictions placed upon him. This,
on course, could not last, but the peoI
an took this power away from King Ka
mt kaua and adopted new constitute
nd which the sovereign was obliged
sign. The native element has alwi
a chafed under the Limitation which v
- placed on their rulers
~ - yielding 10 these mutterings Of
a. - content the queen, suppose, very pr
.a' % ably attempted to put the old order
E things in force There are too ma
'n Yankees and Englishmen In the XII
- dom, however, TO submit 70 this and
.Do consequence she finds herself dethroi
'ad ' and her country practically changed
ma a republic"
az While OF course no statement OF
oan policy to be pursued by the Uni
States in the matter will be made
least until after the arrival Of the c
missioners from Hawaii, who ar
present the request for annexation
car the United States, 1t may be said
our the visit Of the Hawaiians will hal
ity, be successful II the purport thereof
hop been correctly stated. Aside from
cut innovation upon the policy Of the
IN ernment since its organization wi
tied the annexation would be, the inter
of other countries In the Sandy
de- Islands are too large TO permit on
rim part of the government Of those
late tions an acquiescence in such ann
nd tion. II would involve conseque
eive that the United States would not
to and which It's long settled policy
for bids It TO assume. u
