RoyaIist Correspondents ;.
The correspondent of the San
Francisco Examiner has lately
sent his paper two columns of al
legged facts, the bulk of which are
taken from a special statement of
the ex-queen's case made by Mr..
c. 3. Wilson. The statement is
rehash of the familiar royalist
claims and entirely ignores the
real facts and actions of the ex-
queen which precipitated the over
throw Of the monarchy. The fol-
lowing extracts are taken from the
end Of the Wilson statement and
are q fair sample Of the truth and
accuracy of the entire letter. Com
ment is entirely unnecessary
The Wilson document as presen-
ted to Mr. Blount consists of sixty
type1ritten pages and covers every
important episode in Liiiuokalani's
reign. Mr.. Blount had the docu-
ment In his possession for forty
eight hours. aud it is believed had
duplicate made for transmission with
other documents to President Cleye-
land.
Claus Spreckels has abandoned
| Honolulu for the present and has re-
tired 10 his plantation on Maui. His
negotiations with the planters for
| their support to his proposition to
establish republic does not seem to
have NET with a cordial reception,
| the planters and business men com
biuing against him. Whether his
refusabto advance tho government
| any money will have the effect Of
| bringing any one to his way of
reasoning is open to question. He
declines 10 take any of the issue Of
the S750,000 government bonds on
the score Of the questioned legal
right Of the government to issue
| them
The boycott by the annexatiOnists
against business men with royalist
tendencies continues. The Annexa-
ton club has filed protest with the
government against orders for ma
terial being given to shopkeepers
who have not signed the annexation
roll. The club is determined to force
people to become annexationists
| whether they want to or not.
Commissioner Blount has been
taking affidavits of prominent royal
lists, and has almost concluded his
| Investigations. He states that he
will not be ready to leave until the
arrival Of Mr.. Stevens successor.
Referring to the latest attack upon
| the queen and her demand for her
being sent out Of the country, Mr.
Blount said 10 me last night that
such attacks were obnoxious to him,
and that he feels the necessity for
taking action against such articles
appearing in the papers.
The financial condition OF the gov
eminent is causing grave fears
among its friends and hilarity among
its enemies. The question Of the
hour ia, how long can the govern
ment standF So far as the executive
every one, but the advisory board
has IN it men who are fast losing
friends for the provisionals.
No developments have been made
in the crown diamonds case. Vice
President Damon has written to
London as to their value. It is be-
lieved that they ara paste.
Eight Provisional government
guards deserted last night and are
entrenched in the mountains armed
with clubs.
Minister Stevens has had printed
in the Advertiser office an elaborate
three column speech to be delivered
by him upon his arrival in San Fran
cisco on the 31st inst.
The proofs have all been handed
TO Stevens, so it is impossible to get
a copy Of it. | learn there are many
perversions OF facts and misrepres-
eutttiOna.
