"To THE AMERICAN PEOPLE Be

Quite a sensation occurred on the

CUNNING. MR.. DAVIES.
How He Has Kept Father Cieghorn
Advised.

New YORK, March 24.-A morning
paper claims to have unearthed some
thing new in the Hawaiian affair, and
this is the story A supposed dispatch
from the Princess Kaiulanis guardian
Davies to Father Cleghorn has been
discovered in the Brevoort House.
The message, if genuine, is fraught
with Importance. 1t reads:
"To Cleghorn, British Consulate,
Honolulu - Suggest Vic to Blount.
Talk Yankee greed and sugar. DAWES"
On Wednesday evening while Will
liam M. Anvil of Pittsburg was writing in
one of the general rooms of the hotel
he observed telegraph form sticking
between the desk and the wall and on
examination it proved to be the dis
patch above quoted. An ink blot had
fallen across the words "Brtish Con.
sulate," which may have been the rea-
son why the form was discarded. He
showed the message to the hotel clerks,
but declined to let it go out Of his pos
session. The clerks were inclined to
treat the matter as a jest, although they
were forced to admit that the handwrit-
ing bore a striking resemblance to that
of-Mr. Davies.
The hotel telegraph operator de.
clined to say whether she had dispatch
ed any such message, but a gentleman
acquainted with Davies and Hawaiian
affairs was shown copy Of the mes
sage and said;
"The term "Vic" in the message is
undoubtedly meant for Victoria, that
being the Princess KaiuIani's first
name. The Cleghorn addressed is
probably Archibald Cleghorn, Kaiula-
mis- father. Reading between the lines,
| should say that Davies suggests to
Cleghorn to see Commissioner Blount
when he arrives in Hawaii and suggest
to him the eXpediency of re-establishing
the monarchy, with Kaiulan on the
throne. He also counses him to
accuse the Americans of interested
motives in asking for annexation and
to dwell upon the sugar industry of the
islands as the probable cause Of the
revolution"
Awl to-day forwarded the dispatch
with an explanatory note to Secretary
Gresham.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-Captain
Wlltse, who has just returned from Ho-
noIulu, where he commanded the Uni
ted States steamer Boston at the time
of the overthrow of the Hawaiian mon
archy, reported at the Navy Depart
ment this afternoon. He had a short
interview with Secretary Herbert and
arranged for a more extended confer
ence next week in regard to the partic-
ipation of American sailors in the
event. He declined to be interviewed.
MANCHESTER, N. H., March "a
Rear-Admiral Belknap, discussing the
Hawaiian question, expressed himself
warmly in favor of the United States
assuming a protectorate over the ISL
ands. "Of course people who had not
been there might talk against it," said
he, "but the interests at the islands are
SO plainly American that the United
States cannot afford to throw the plans
aside. If this country does not assume
a proteCtorate Great Britain will quick
w do So"

Commissioner Blount.

CHICAGO, March 2a,-A Washing
ton special says: Commissioner Blount
has gone to Honolulu clothed with ex-
traordinary authority. Should any
trouble arise on the islands pending his
investigation, the naval commanders
and Minister Stevens are expected to
follow his advice. He has discretion
airy orders, it is said, to decide after his
arrival whether the continuance of a
temporary protectorate is desirable and
whether American sailors should be
continued on shore.

OPPOSES ANNEXATION.
Claus Spreckels' Opinion on Hawaiian
Affairs.

New YORK, March 23,-C.A. Spreck-
els denied emphatically that the firm of
Spreckels & Co. was DESTROYS to over
throw the Hawaiian Government or
that it had anything to do with the
bringing about of the revolution. The
sudden change of affairs, Spreckels
says, was as much a surprise to his
father and to other members of the big
sugar firm as it was to anybody eve
do not" he said, "believe the sugar
bounty is going to last much longer and
nothing could be gained by annexation
We can do more profitable business
with our contract labor than we could
under the laws of the United States,
and for that reason we are opposed to
change. We would much prefer that
Hawaii remain kingdom and then we
should know that our business would
not be intcrfered with. A short time
before the Queen was deposed the SUI
gar firm made large loan to the Gov
eminent, and it is not likely that we
should extend financial assistance to a
nation and then take part in a move
ment to overthrow it"

A STAR reporter caught Mr.. f. c.
Macfarlaue for minute this afternoon
on his way home. Mr.. Macfarlane
hesltates to express any opinion regard
ing the annexation question, because
he only was present in Washington as
a private citizen. Personally Mr. Mac
iarlane says that the appointment OF
Mr. Blount as Commissioner to Ha.
wall gives the greatest satisfaction to
everybody in the United States, as far
as he was able to judge.
Gle is certainly satisfactory as far
as am concerned" said Mr.. Macfar-

to hold the position Of trust he occup
les. The United States did the very
best thing in sending him here and !
believe he will impartially and tho

A RO0IHM SNARK.

Our esteemed but still lidderous contem- porsry the Register is seeing snarks again. And this time it Is boojum snsrk. It sees in our mild and careful attempt to correctly interpret public opinion on the English-C Cleveland Sprsckles policy in re- gard to the Sandwich Islands 8 most reck- less performance. It accuses us of putting on war paint and dancing around little fire, of indulging too deeply in the Spirit of Seventy Six, and of csnnibal appetite that will not be appeased without daily meal in which the central dieh Is royal head. And then, ss If in fear for its own head, it asks that we be bound over to keep the peace.
 We will relieve whatever anxiety the Register may have on its own account by saying that we do not like calves' heads, and we will not, at this time, attempt to re- pei its charge that we do like the heads of kings and queens. But when the Register says we don't care about the morals of such wrong as 1t was before 1t discovered Weat- vile and Parson Isbell. It is just the moral part of 1t that we do care about. And be- cause it is impossible to tell yet just what has or has not been done we have carefully refrained from saying that @ moral wrong has bsen done by President Cleveland What we have said Is that the people of this country don't approve the policy out lined or hinted at by Secretary Gresham, that they are not deeply grieved by the deposition of 6 king or a queen, and that they are deeply concerned that no wrong be done the Spirit of Seventy Six. These notions may seem somewhat im- moral to the Register, whose liking for the hush of royalty is apparent, but they do not seem so to us, and they evidently don't seem so to most of the patriotic people of the country, who are in rage because the President of this great, glorious and com parstively free country appears to have a notion of putting a dark and dubious queen back on throne which she has dis graced and from which she was bounced with much heartiness by her tired subjects.
 We will invite the coldly and lo't tily moral Register's attention to what Senator Morgan, who is the capable and distin- guished chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, says. He says that the forcibls overthrow of the provisional government of Hawaii would be waging of war without the sanction of congress and violation of the constitution. Would that be moral performance in the Regis ter's opiniona It would not in ours, any
 more than in the opinion of the Register
 the appointment of Brother Byxbee by the
 President against the earnest protest of
 the better part of the Democratic party
 of Connecticut was 6 moral performance

Treatment of the Jews in siberia.

IFrom the San Francisco Chronicle.l
 Agapius Honchsrenko, proprietor and editor of the Russian political journal pub hshed in this city, received letter last week in which 1t Is stated that the Russian officials have hit upon & new plan to rob the unfortunate people bsfore they could escape from the country, but no effort was made to control the direction of their going.
 So far all the Jews who have escaped have done so by way of Japan, but that road Is blocked now. According to the lsttsr, the wealthy Jews, who are the ones selected for prosecution, ,sre now forbidden to have any communication with the Chin ese frontier or the coast near Japan, and are forced to pass through eastern Siberia in order to reach the coast. Here all trans portstion Is by means of dog sleighs in winter. The sufferings of the poor people thus forced to travel through the coldsst and most barren part of the bleak country may be imagined. It is said that those who framed the new eiict did SO in order to force the exilss to remain in the country ss long ss possible, in order that there may be more chances to rob them.
 Navigation on the Siberian coast Is en- tirely suspended during the long winter months and those who reseh the coast dur ing the winter will have to remain on Rus sian soil until April before ships will ar rive to carry them out of the country The letter places the number of Jews in Siberia affected by the edict & 9 000, snd it says that not more than two-thirds of that mum Der will survive the of the climate and the cruelties of the Russian officials Accord ing to the letters he has received from friends In Siberia, Honchareuko says not a single exile will be able tn get ont of the country with dollsr in his pocket. They will, accordingly. be thrown entirely on the mercies of Ehoss willing to Aesiri them after they manage 10 get away from the land of The Czsr
