steamer Alameda, on the 21st inst. In
| speaking on this point, members of the
cabinet said they did not think any &C
ton would be taken upon the arrival of

land determine to urge matters, they
would be Immediately notified by Min

orders. This much he had promised
the government verbally.
Members of the advisory council en-
phasiZe the fact that the policy of re-
slstance now being followed by this
government was determined upon twen-
ty-four hours before the news of PreSi-
dent Cleveland's attitude reached Hon
olulu. The ranks of the American
League are growing daily At the pres
ent it is estimated that the government
can command $500 armed men in case
OF need.
THE PRESS OF HONOLULU,
or that portion of it which supports the
present government there, INDUCES in
severe editorial comment upon the re-
port of Commissioner BlOunt, the de-
tails of which had been received in
Australia. The Hawaiian Star says:
1T is an interesting and important
question which the United States con-
gress ought to undertake to solve
What became of the mass of reliable
testimony that Blount took from the au-
nexationists in Hawaii, and why did he
reject or decline to receive much more of
the same which was proffered to him.
while accepting all the stories which the
royalists cared to put in evidence? In
spite of Blount's habit of snubbing the
anneXationists, men like Messrs. Bolte,
Bishop, Jones, Alexander and Lyons,
all of them of the highest
and purest character, told MIR.
Blount the truth about the
January revolution and the causes
leading to it. Yet the commissioners
report appears to be packed full of lies.
In none Of its published chapters does
the color OF the best available evidence
appear. Nothing is there but the dark
hue of monarchist falsehood and per-
jury or the variegated tint of half
truths, which are said to be worse than
lies, put i'll by the loyal men whom Mr..
Blount refused to hear whenever they
began to explain what they had meant
by their admissions"
The Honolulu Commercial Advertiser
published a series of editorials upon
this subject, but perhaps its most serious
declarations are contained in the follow
ing extracts:
"The Hawaiian islands are the $50.
lated habitable center of all otherwise
unoccupied waste of ocean. They form
the natural center of the future vast
commerce of the North Pacific. They
are the nearest land to North America
on the west. Mainly in consequence of
that proximity they are occupied and
ruled by strong and cultured Ameri-
can colony, which has given laws, man.
ners and institutions to the group, and
which is the only colony that the United
States has outside of It's own jurisdic-
ton. We find President Cleveland
ignoring the existence of this American
colony and of these civilized American
institutions. He evidently sees in Ha-
wall nothing more than
