lied to take steps looking to the
queens restoration.
This would have been of little con-
sequence but for the practical effect
the incident has had upon the queens
party. So long as Commissioner
BlOunt was supposed to have author

that weeks and perhaps months may
pass after the commissioner leaves
the Islands before the United States
government shall indicate its inten-
lions with regard TO Hawaii, it is only
natural that they should feel like
taking the matter into their own
hands and, making the most of a fav-
orable opportunity to start counter
revolution, disposseSs the Provisional
government and restore the queen.

til they arrive it will not be convenient
to send any more ships to Hawaii.
