reviews the whole situation and draws
deductions from the report of Commits
sioner Blount in regard to the origin Of
the revolution, details of which have
already been published. The president
then says in part:
AS | apprehend the situation, we are
brought face to face with the following
conditions. The lawful government of
Hawaii was overthrow without draw
a sword or firing a shot by a process
every step of which 1t may Safely be
asserted was directly traceable to and
dependent for its success upon the
agency of the United States government,
through It's diplomatic and naval repre-
sentatives. But for the notorious
predelictiors of United States for an
nexation tho committee of safety which
should be called Committee of annexa-
ton would never have existed.
But for the landing of United S .ates
forces upon false pretexts respecting
the danger of life property the commit
tee would never have exposed them
selves to the pains and penalties of
treason by undertaking subversion of
the queens government.
But for the presence of the United
States force in the immediate vicinity
and in position to afford all needed
protection and support the committee
would not have promclaimed the pro-
visional government.
The president then says:
Believing therefore that the United
States could not under these circum-
stances annex these islands without just
ly mourning the imputation Of acquiring
them by uninstifiable methods, | shall
not again submit the treaty of annexa-
ton to the senate for its consideration.
In instructions to Minister Willis,
have directed him to so inform the pro-
7isional government.
/ instructed Minister Willis to inf yrm
the queen and her supporters of my
desire to aid in the restoration of the
status existing before the lawless land
ing of United States forces at Honolulu
on the 10th of January last, if such
restoration could be effected upon
terms providing for clemency as well
as justice to all parties concerned
The conditions suggested as to the last
instructions should contemplate a
general amnesty to those concerned in
making up the provisional government
and the recognition of all its bona fide
acts and obligations. In short they re-
quire that past should be buried before
the restored government could resume
its authority as if It's continueity had
not been interrupted. These conditions
have not proved acceptable to the queen
and though she been informed they will
be Insisted upon aud that unless &C
coded to the efforts of the president to
aid in the restoration of her govern
msnt will cease. l shall be much
gratified to cooperate in any legislation
plan which may be devised for solution
of the problem before us, which is
consistent with American honor, in
tegrity and morality.
