He injected few remsr<s in connec-
ton with this "piece Of American i'm
pudence" which would not look we'll in
the report of a diplomat. and the re
porter saw that he was getting the fish
to land.
''But did not the English who live on
the island try to assist in the creating OF
a new form of government ~ asked the
GLOBE man with a view to getting Mr..
Kimberly off his guard.
"Well, l should say not, not by a
id sight. Why, we went so far to
show our disapproval as to offer to arm
some of the natives with view to re-
sistance, as the Americans had seized
all of the arms in the government
armory. But the cowardly beggars
would not resist. They did not care
who governed them. We tried to per-
suade them to do so, that is some of the
Englishmen did. but they would not
stir bloody peg, not id peg, sir"
MIR. Kimberly was started. He was
now ready to give up his official knoWl-
edge.
EngIand's Scheme.
''You see this scheme has been on foot
for a long time" he said. ut was a
plan of the sugar planters of the United
States. They knew the apathetic nature
of the natives and knew that they would
quietly submit. About six months ago
there arrived from the United States
ship load of emigrants. They were all
men, and were the toughest lot of indl-
viduals, even for Americans, ever saw.

and it was said that they had been care
fully drilled on board the ship every
day since they had sailed. They came
in sailing vessel which had started
from New York, and the men had been
picked up there. These men were oS-
tensibly for the purpose of working on
the plantations. But devil stroke of
work did they do. They loafed around
the town of Honolulu. got drunk, beat
the natives over the head at the slight
est provocation and called them nlggers.
They were all quartered in some houses
which were built for them-long. she'd
like barracks in the vicinity of Honolulu.
You know that England has been max
ing attempts to get possession Of the
islands for some time, and would have
succeeded had it not been for the beastly
impotence of the Americans. That is
the reason that the princess of the royal
blood was taken to England to be edu-
Gated. She was under the protection
of the crown and would have disposed
of the islands to her majesty the
queen"
AS he said the last word Mr.. Kimberly
made low bow, as though he were in
the presence of her august majesty.
when England obtained possession
0E ba islands. YNla of in
the possession of the American owners
wonld be compelled to give proper
revenue to the crown. Other arrange
mentS were to be provided for their
proper taxation and government. Those
men are making millions of pounds out
of those plantations every year and they
are not compelled to pay penny to the
crown. They should do so.
1--WE got wind of the prospective at
tempts of the Americans tO obtain pos
session of the government. We notified
them, in the name of the queen (another
low bow, to deSiSt or suffer the conse
quenceS, but they insOlently paid no
attention to our demands. They were
even SO inSolent as to laugh at us. Then
we went to some of the natives who were
the owners of plantations and told them
that we thought they were foolish
not to ask for protection from the Brit
ish government. They had been bought
off by the Americans, and told US that
they could take care of themselves, with
the assistance OF the United States. A
report of the prospective changes III the
government was prepared for TRANSMITS
sion to the crown, but in consequence
of the absence of the minister resident,
who had to sign them, the papers were
delayed for about two mouths. This in
terrupted our plans.
The Americans Went Ahead
with their arrangements, and we are of
the impression that the American min
lister had instructions from the home
government to proceed.
"On the day of the declaration of the
new government there were not more
than dozen men who demanded the |
change. 1t was one of the most high !
handed Outrages ever perpetrated-th |
idea of handful of Americans taking |
possession of an entire country. We |
told them that England would not per-
nit it, but they laughed at us. The |
men who had been brought over |
i'll the ship from New York were armed
and called volunteers. They showed |
that they had been drilled. and we
think that they were brought there for
that very purpose. They acted as
though they owned tile islands. One
evening, as l was going through the |
streets where they were located for the
purpose of seeing what they were doing,
l was stopped by one of them who had |
a gun, and he compelled me by threats
of violence to turn back. l have made |
a full report Of the occurrence.
There are a number of Germans
who are owners of property in the vicin-
ity of Honolulu and on the other |
islands. They were known to have
been endeavoring to make arrange
ments for the past three or four years to
get possession Of the islands in the !
