Kenyon was arrested for the pub
location OF the following article re-
aecting on the good name of
United States Minister Stevens,
entitled;
THE HOWL ~ HAWAII.
Minister Stevens had gone beyond
his authority IN hOisting the flag of
the United States over Hawaii. He
had attempted to steal the Island aud
overthrow recognized government
authority 70 which ne was accredited
rs min ster. His was the act OF .
robber chief. \ few bold characters
upon their own motion, through the
assistance OF United States marines
and under the threatening guns of the
warShip Boston, depOsed the Queen
and set up a Provisional Government.
For the protection OF the Provisional
Government, and TO give sanctity and
prominence to the steal, Minister
Stevens lent the authority of the
United States, under the national em-
blem known to all nations.
President Harrison in reply to Min
lister Stevens official notification of
his action in the revolutionary move
ment, rebuked the minister and dis
avowed his authority of impairing the
sovereignty of the Hawaiian govern
ment by substituting the flag and
power Of the United States"
Mr.. BlOunt, as commissioner from
the United States, ia pulling down
the flag at Hawaii, has only carried
into effect the disavOwal and implied
order OF President Harrison.
Under their own flag and govern
ment the people of Hawaii are no
longer prisoners, but free to act with |
our accredited agents in the matter of |
or establishment of pro-
tectOrate.
There was no other line OF action |
left open to President Cleveland than |
that he has chosen. Every movement |
the late Provisional gov |
eminent, proclaimed theft and in |
fanny. Spectators, free hooters and
must not steal the good /
name and flag OF the United States |
under which to advance personal ends |
and unhOly schemes. If Hawaiians |
decide on closer relations with the |
United States, or If it be to the advan- |
tage OF our government, that annexa-
ton should be had, let negotiations be |
fairly, and without re-
straiut, and with the autonomy of the |
weaker power fully recognized. That |
policy which Is for the best interests !
Of all will prevail, and whether an
neIGtiOnr pTOtectOTate, or former con-
diti0n remain, all will be for the |
honor, glory and advancement OF the |
United States
