United States was well known to those familiar
vith the presidents established By the De.
nsrtment Of State and the instructions Issued

uyely declared in instructions from Secretary
Bayard to Minister Merrill. In which the latter
Vas Instructed that the United States forces
would be landed to protect American life and
property and to maintain public order. Similar
Instructions wore issued By tho Navy De-

have done tho Same. had he had ship here. Is
we'll known: and am also able to affirm that
It was he who urged Mr.. Cleghorn. father Of
Princess Kaiulani and Govern or Of the island.

troops.
The events which followed in orderly sue
eession are we'll known. The forces were sta

title to such recognition. that the flag was

suspicion.
Tbe hauling down OF tho Gag did not neces-

Tho provisional Government 10 to-day far

or Q final rejection OF the proffsrs Of
annexation would certainly do this. for the
provisional character OF the Government
would be changed tc ono Of permanency. But
