TROUBLE MEXICO.

Cindad Juarez, Mex, Nov. 21.-The re-
ports of further engagements between the
revolutionists and the federal troops have
produced much excitement. Though max
ing light of the idea of the present trouble
savoring of a revolution, it is evident the
government is fearful of the result. The
situation is very favorable to the revolu-
tionists as the country in which they are
operating is such that they feel at home
in it, and it is difficult of access to the
troops, both on account of it's natural
rOughness and a snow two feet deep
which retards their movements.

FOR PUBLICATION.
As Previously Stated Minister Stew

Hawaiian RevOIutiOn-The Minis
ter Replies I'm an Interview.

Washington, Nov. q. Secretary
Gresham decided to make public all the
correspondence and the report of James
Ill. Blount, the special commissioner sent
to Hawaii by President Cleveland to in
vestgate the revolution which dethroned
Queen LliuOkalani aid the establishment
of the provisional government. Mr..
Blount arrived at Honolulu March %,
1893. In his report he reviews the af-
fairs in the islands, as noted yesterday.
In conclusion he says:
Mr.. Stevens consulted freely with the
leaders of the revolutionary movement
from the evening of the 18th. These
disclosed to him all their plans. They
feared arrest and punishment. He prom
ised them protection. They needed the
troops on shore to overawe the queen S
supporters and government. This he
agreed to and did furnish. They had few
arms and no trained soldiers. They did
not mean to fight. 1t was arranged be-
tween them and the American minister
that the proclamation dethroning the
queen and organizing a provisional gov
ernment should be read from the govern
ment building and he would follow it
with a speedy recognition. All this was
to be done with American troops, pro-
vided with small arms and artillery
across a narrow street within a stones
throw. This was done. The leaders of
the revolutionary movement would not
have undertaken it but for Mr.. Stevens
promise to protect them against any
danger from the government. But for
this their mass meeting would not have
been held. But for this no request to
land troops would have been made. Had
the troops not been landed no measures
for the organization of a new govern
ment would have been taken. The Amcri-
can minister and the revolutionary lead
ers had determined OH annexation to the
United States and had agreed ON the
part each was to act to the very end.
The native race feel that great wrong
has been done them and their queen.
Her uniform conduct and the prevail
ing sentiments amongst the natives point
to her belief as well as theirs, that the
spirit Of justice on the part of the presi-
dent would restore her crown" That
is the only thing in the nature of a
10 ,oolo
