Very truly yours,
G.. TRoUssEAU.
You found out yesterday that had
not deceived you about Spreckels.
The Interview Is a big thing for our
side.
The men who had been instructed
to provide the necessary force for the
| taking of the Government building
are MIR. L. Gardiner, an Englishman,
| and Mr.. Harry Won Werthern, an
American by birth, of German origin.
They are willing to give you full In
formation about their action, the as
surance they had of the support OF the
United States forces, etc.
The opium bill was carried not only
by the natives, but by q majority of
the whole of the members.
Almost daily, to my personal knowl-
edge, meetings were held at Mr.
Stevens house in which the possibili-
ties Of a peaceful revolution with the
prospects of annexation were dis
cussed. Prominent at these meetings
were the Chief Justice, Mr.. Dole, Mr..
Thurston, Mr.. Hartwell, Chas. Carter
and others, also Capt. Wiltse.
The next morning a patient of mine,
Il. Gardiner by name, an Englishman,
| called. He was under treatment. He
said: 81 am in hurry today" (the
Office being pretty fully "try not to
keep me waiting" This was about
! 10 AN. He added: "Today january
17th) we depose the Queen. 1 have to
be on hand any time after II O'Clock.
The call will be one tap of the bell.
Tower BeIl.'.n Knowing my man
well as one of the unemployed, and
knowing that his sympathies were the
other way, l said 90 What do you get
lars cash, $3.50 day and board after
wards, and the promise of billet of
not less than 500 month" "Who
made you the promise ?" .'Thurston."
The man is still connected with the
| revolutionists, and is willing to make
the statement to Mr.. Blount himself.
Let the United States Government
| put things back where Mr.. Stevens
found them on January II; restore
| the Queen; let her call the legislature
| together and state to them, by special
message, that in presence of the ne
| cessity in which the United States are
placed to secure the possession of the
Hawaiian Islands, she herself is pre-
pared to abdicate in favor of Grover
| Cleveland, President of the United
| States, and expects the representatives
| of the people to make no opposition to
the measure, and at once ratify
| treaty of cession as agreed upon be-
tween yourself and herself.
Being done in that manner, you will
| find little opposition, and all of us will
assist in bringing the matter to safe
and peaceable solution.

aries, who owe the whole of their
social and pecuniary position to the

have known the Queen intimately
for over twenty years. When L ar
rived here she had not been mar
ried long, and her husband, John o.
Dominis, an American, and an init
mate friend of mine, was fondly be-
loved by her. John Dominis' charac-
| ter was mpeachable-ask anyone
who knew him-Mr. G.. r. Bishop,
Mr.. w. +. Allen and others. L am
now speaking from physicians point
of view. John was, to use euphem-

He was fond of society, sometimes
took more liquor than was good for
him, anG occasionally although he
never kept a regular mistress) had
/ some love adventures. In this small
| community they were reported to his
| wife, and / can vouch to how she suf-

and jealous of him. But, like most
unfaithful husbands, he would not

any sign of unfaithfulness on the part
of his wife as long as he was alive;
/ anyone slandering his wife would

band it never has been known; and as
far as Wilson is concerned, it is on the
part of Mr.. Stevens an unmitigated
| lie.
| Mr.. PARKER: The restoration of the
Queen under an American protector
ate would be q more stable govern
ment than the old regime. There is
a feeling that unless we are under
some country like the United States
| it would be the same old revolution
ary trouble coming up all the time.
So that / say do not think
it will ever be a stable government
unless we are under n protectorate.
| III we are under protectOrate, say
| let it be the United States. 1 do not
say this because you are the American
| Commissioner.
| Mr.. BLoUNT: Your idea is that
majority of the people are for the
| Queen, but that if the Queen were re-
| instated she would not be able to
maintain permanent order here with
out the sanction of her authority by
protectorate, say, of the United
| States?
Mr.. PARKER: That is what / think.
L have not talked with the Queen on
the subject; that would be my advice
| to her. / would not accept the same
| position / had before the revolution
unless there was a protectorate. Ii
she said: al want you to be In the
same position you held before this
revolution took place-Minister of
Foreign Affairs" L would say "no;
unless you have it under protector
ate.n 1t is no use looking to England,
Japan, France or Germany. All our
benefits are derived from the United
| States.
Mr.. BLoUNT: What is the feeling
of your people on the question of their
right of suffrage?
| Mr.. PARKER: The right OF suffrage
means, of course, a great deal to the
Hawaiian people. If they were adj
mitted as the District of Columbia,
which has no vote, the natives would
