After an interview with Foster,
Mott Smith told the reporter that he
thought the new government could
be maintained without display Of
force by the United States. He be-
lieved, he said, the people themselves
would regulate matters, and there
would be 10 trOu Bile. Mr.. Smith had
believed the revolution Inevitable.
But thought it would not come so
soon. The interview between SeCre-
tary Foster and smith continued some
time. At its close Secretary Foster
went over to the White House and
ha conference with the president.
While, of course, no statement Of
the policy to be pursued by the United
States in the matter, will he made at
least until after the arrival of the COM
missioners from Hawaii, who are to
present request for anne XatiOn to
the United States, it may be said that
the visit of the Hawaians will hardly
be successful, If the puIport thereof
has been correctly stated. Aside from
an innovation upon the poi cy of the
government since its organization,
which annexation would be to the in
terest of other countries. The Sand
WITCH Islands are too large to permit
on the part of our government those
nations acquiesance in such action. 1t
would involve consequences that the
United States would not care, and its
long settled policy forbids to assume.
The provisional government shall
consist of an executive council of four
mem bers, who are hereby declared to
be S. b. Dole, j. A. King, p. G. Jones
and w. o. Smith, who shall adj
minister the government of the Island,
the first named acting as president
and chairman of such council, and ad'
ministering the department of foreign
affairs and the others severally adj
ministering the departments of the
interior, finance and attorney
general respectively in the order
in which they are enumerated, accord
ing to existing Hawaiian law far
as NAV be consistent with tn ca-
nation, and also of an advisory cOun-
Gil, which shall consist of fourteen
members. Such advisory council
shall also have general legislative au-
thority. Such executive and advise.
ry council shall, acting jointly, have
rover to remove any member of
either council and to ill such or any
9th vacancy.
Further particulars of the revolu-
ton are as follows: All day Tuesday,
the 18th, the community was in a state
of expectancy, looking to the commit
tee of public safety to do something to
end the state of tension and secure the
rights of all citizens against eDcroach-
ments once and for all. Finally the
shooting of policeman by the name
of Good precipitated the movement.
Citizens hurried to Bsretania street
armory, where they were formed into
companies and marched into the gov
eminent building.
In the meantime the committee OF
public safety accompanied by men,
bers of the government which was
about to be formed, proceeded to the
government building entirely I'M
armed. Arriving at the government
building, the committee inquired for
the cabinet, the ministers could not
be found. They then demanded and
received possession of the building.
The party now proceeded to the front
steps and in the presence of rapidly
crowd, read the proclama-
ton.
Before it was completed volunteers
from the rifles armory began to assem-
BILE in force. The grounds of Aliotani
hall were cleared and guard set at
all gates. The provisional govern
ment for the ministers, who were at
the police station. Two of them came
and finally all four repaired to head
quarters of the new government,
where formal demand was made on
them for possession of the police sta
ton.
The ex-ministers asked for time to
deliberate upon this demand. They
went to the palace in company with
Samuel NJ Damon and held a consul
tation with the queen. Tho result
was compromise proposition which
was rejected by the provisional gov
ornment. The late queen and cabinet
fl ually yielded Internationally and
the police atation was turned over to
Soper, and Captain
Ieigler with forty men from company
"A" government troops, assumed
formal control of the palace and bar
racks.
The queen made the following
speech in relinquishing the govern
ment:
Princes, Mobiles and Representatives:
| have listened to the thousands of
voices of my people that have come 20
me and am prepared to grant their re-
quest. The present constitution is full
OF defects, as the chief justice here will
testify, as questions regarding it have
so often come before him for settle
ment. 1t is so faulty 1 think now
your request should be granted. l
have prepared one, in which the
rights of all have been re-
gardsd. A constitution suited to the
wishes of the people. | was ready
and expected to proclaim the new
today as suitable occas.
ion for it, and thus satisfy the wishes
of my dear people, but with regret, I
say, have met with obstacles that
prevent it. Return to your homes
and quietly and continue to
look toward me aud l will look TO-
ward you. Keep me ever in your
