O. revolution in that kingdom. A
provisional government has been es-
tah.Ished by an uprising of the people.
Queen LiIiuoAalani has been dennsed
from bower, monarchy abrogated. gov
eEnment buildings seized and new
| provisional ministry, composed of four
members, is sustained by bayonets of
| volunteers.
! Ihe Queen attempted Saturday.
| January 10, to promulgate new consti-
! tuuon, depriying foreigners of the richt
! Of franchise and abrogating,the existin,
I mouse OF mobiles, at the same time giving
| her power Of appointing a new house.
| his was resisted by the foreign element
| OF the community, who at once ap-
| pointed committee of safety ofthirteen
/ members, who called mass meeting
OF their classes, at which /, 200 or 800
were present. That meeting unani
modsly adopted resolutions condemning
the action OF the Queen and authorizing
the committee to take into further con-
/ slderatlon whatever was necessary to
/ protect public safety.
! Monday the committee of public
safety issued q proclamation to the
/ llaWanan people recounting the his
tory Of the islands, and calling atten-
ton TO the misrule of the native line
| Of mOnarchs.
/ SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 2S.-"I hope
the people here will see this matter IN
the right light" said W. c. Castle, one
OF the Hawaiian commissioners For
| over twelve years we have been living
on the crust OF q volcano under the rule
OF both kalakaua and LiliuokaIani. 1t
WAS kaIakaua aggresslons which brought
about the revolutions of 1857 and the
adoption OF the present constitution.
no constitution now proposed
| by the Queen meant practically alb
solute monarchy. 1t took away cleo
tive franchise from the bulk of the for
| elgn population. 1t provided that only
native born citizens could have the
right to vote. Not more than one-third
Of the $4,000 white residents of tho
islands were born there. We have al
| the official commissions from the pro-
vIsiona! government 10 the state depart
| ment at Washington, and we propose
10 go there right of, and do what we
can 10 present our case"
WAsHINGToN, -. c., Jan. 2S.-The
news that Queen LI!iuokalani had been
oycrthrOWn came 10 the United States
government with an emphasis that pre-
Cluded any doubts as to It's authenticity.
An official dispatch 10 Secretary John
~ EnEf1r rapaly~aH
brought the startling Intelligence. He
Immediately sent the Information to
President Harrison and TO Mr.
AOtt-Smlth, the representative in
Washington of Queen LIliuokalanI
Mr.. Mott-Smith, however, had already
been informed, and be hurried to the
State Department with his dispatch
from Mr.. IhurstOn. the leader of the
commission sent to negotiate the an
neXatlon of Hawaii 70 the United States.
Secretary Foster sent the news to
the Office of the secretary of the navy
with tbs request of an immediate in
iervicw with Secretary Tracy. Mr..
Tracy lad not reached the department
at the time, but Assistant Secretary
Solely, recognizing the importance of
the information, went at once TO see
Secretary Foster. They had Consulta-
ton III reference 10 the naval sire myth
of the United States in the Hawa'lan
waters, and Mr.. SoIey informed Mr.
Foster that the only vessel there was
the cruiser Boston, now at Honolulu
No other vessels, he said, were IN the
vicinity.
Mr.. Foster thought it would be well
to have better naval representation at
Honolulu. and Mr.. Soiey went back
to the Navy Department to ascer-
tam what vessels were avail
able for service in this connec-
ton. Secretary Tracy arrived rUOn
after Mr.. Solev returned and upon
hearing the news went over 10 see Sec
retary Foster. 1t Will take at least IN
days for one of our naval vessels 10
Join the Boston at Honolulu. 1t is
probable that the new coast de-
Tense vessel, Monterey, will be
sent. This vessel is completed
with the exception of having
her turret armor in place, and it ls
likely that she set sail at once from san
Francisco to support the Boston. The
interior lining of iron, to which tho
armor is riVeted, has been placed in her
turrets and her stores are all on board.
After bis interview with Secretary
Foster, Mr.. MottSmlth told reporter
that he thought that the new govern
ment could be maintained without
display of force by the United states.
He believed, he sal /, that the people
themselves would regulate matters, and
that there would be no trouble. Mr..
Mott-Smith had believed a revolution
WAS inevitable, but he thought il would
not come soon.
The flagship Mohican and The war
chip Rauger, now at Mare ISL
and, have been ordered to
sea Immediately. The Mohican will
90 direct to Honolulu. The Ranger
will proceed TO san Francisco and await
further orders. The Mohican sails at
o clock this afternoon.
The commissioners from Hawaiian
Islands to negotiate for annexation to
the United States have decided 10 leave
mere tomorrow afteanOOn VIA Chicago,
and will reach Washington on Friday.
