These disclosed to him all their plans.
They feared arrest and punishment. He
pro missed them protection. They needed
troops on shore 30 overawe the queens
supporters and the government. This
he agreed to and did furnish. They had
few arms and trained soldiers. They
did not mean fight. 1t was arranged
between them and the American minis
ter that q proclamation dethroaing the
queen and organizing a provisional gov
ernment should be read from the gov
ernment building and he would follow
it with speedy recognition. All this
was to be done with American troops
provided with small arms and s.rtillery,
across q narrow street within d stone's 8
throw, This was done. The leaders OF
the revolutionary movement would not
have undertaken it but for Stevens
promise to protect them against
any danger from the govern
ment; but for this. no mass
meeting would have been held; but for
this, no request to land troops would
have been made. Had the troops not
been landed, no measures for the organ
ization OF a new government would
have been taken. The American min
lister and the revolutionary leaders de-
termined on annexation to the United
States and agreed on the part of each
to act to that very end"
Blount says the native race feel thata
great wrong has been done them and
the queen, when the queen resigned
under protest, and did not believe the
action of Stevens would be endorsed,
and ne adds: Indeed, who would sup
pose that the circumstances surround
ing her could have been foreseen and
sanctioned deliberately by the presi-
dent of the United States7 Her uni
form conduct and the prevailing senti-
ment amongst the natives point to her
belief,,as we'll ss theirs, that the spirit of
juetice on the part of the president
would restore her crown" 49,
That is the only thing in the nature
of a recommendation made.
The special commissioner closes with
description of the industries of the
islands, statistics, comparisons OF races,
changes in the conditions of the natives
and information tending to show that
they have been badly trested.

Lord Beresford's Plan for strengt then
ing the Queens Navy.
LONDON, Nov. 20.-The Associated
Press has received an advance copy Of
the British naval programme drafted by
Lord Charles Bereslord, formerly junior
lord of the admiralty. 1t will be pub
lished in tomorrow's papers. Beresford
commences by declaring that the navy
of Great Britain must be a third stronger
than the combined fleets of her two
possible enemies, Frsnce and Russia He
proposes the expenditure of e22. 900, 600
for the construction of 6ironclads, Royal
Sovereign class; IL battleships, Bar
feur class; 10 cruisers, Blake class: 30
vessels. Havock claas, designed eepec-
tally to destroy the enemy's torpedo
stations. Half million pounds should
be expended for reserve ammunition
supply, similar to- that maintained by
the French government at Toulon, and
1884 900 should be uaed for strengthen
ing the moles OF Gibraltar.

ment. 1t is not the result OF consptr-
acy on the part of few men, but gem
uine revolution. There is no Just
ground for the charge that Minister
Stevens conspired with the organizers
of the provisional government. His
actions under the circumstances were
entirely regular and in accordance with
diplomatic custom. The statement that
the landing of troops from the Boston
was inexcusable and unnecessary is un-
qualifedly false. Blount's own report
shows that there was reason to expect
disturbance and bloodshed endanger.
ing the lives and property OF peaceful
Americans. The occasion certainly war
ranted the landing Of the troops for the
protection of American interests.
Much stress is laid in Blount's report
on the placing of the troops near the
government building. Admiral Sker-
rett is quoted as saying this position was
wise choice If the intention was to
support the provisional government.
The admiral must have been unaware
that the troops were not qusrtered in
Arion hall until efforts to secure all
other available places at distance from
the government building had failed.

CATION l have nothing to say, except
that he did not appear to make any dis
elimination in regard to the credibility
or standing of the persons whom he
questioned. made that remark to him
and he replied that it made no difference
what sort of position or standing the
witress had. / am satisfied that every
thing had been surrendered to the pro-
visional government before it was recog-
nized by Minister Stevens, though the
aim of Blount's report is to make it APP
pear that the contrary WAS the case.
'If conspiracy existed between the
revolutionists and Minister Stevens and
the uprising could not have been sue
cessful without the United States troops,
how is it that none of the foreign pow
ers have made protest or even a diplo-
matte note of such serious matter !?
They could not have been ignorant of
the fact. England, France, Japan and
Portugal were represented there by
ministers and consuls. Germany,
Austria, Denmark, The Netherlands,
Chile and Mexico also had consuls
there. All these governments, through
their official representatives, recognized
the provisional government without the
slightest hesitation, fact which seems
to have been overlooked at Washington.
Yet it is not assumed that England, for
instance. conspired to overthrow the
queen or was disposed to favor the an
nexation movement on the islands,"

Blount then shows the position which
the queen occupied, her protest, and
describes the race and citizenship of the
men concerned in the revolution. Va
Iious commissioners of the provisional
government and Minister Stevens are
quoted and commented upon. Blount
shows that it was collusion on the part
of the minister and the revolutionists.
He goes into the details of the matter
and points out by time and place the
haste with which Stevens acted, and by
quoting from Stevens report and papers

MARTIN AND EAsrON.


The Temptation OF Christ, end the Les.
son It Teaches.
The cold rain Of yesterday reduced the
attendance somewhat ct the great revival
at Plymouth church, yet the chairs were
nearly Ill full and the sermon was up to
the high standard Of Mr.. Martin. At the
close four persons responded to the invita-
ton TO unite with the church.
In his sermon Mr.. Martin argued that
the foundation of all temptation was desire.
Desire was not sin. but yielding to tempta-
ton was sin. The fasting Of Jesus awak-
which no human desire has ever gone.
His weapon Of defense was the best possi-
BILE. and in both he completely met the
needs of man. As soon as Satan heard his
defense. ''It is written" he availed him
self of it and quoted Scripture adroitly and
falsely, but was met with the same weapon
q second time.
The power Of this temptation was in
the intense desire Of Jesus to save quickly
the lost. Here seemed q great oppor-
tunity, but it was not the right way.
Again. the world. the property of God,
was in Satan's possession, and he offered
it to Jesus if he would worship him. Its
force was in the fact that Jesus came to
redeem this world. 1t would have been
ruinous to accept this cheap method.
Mr.. Martin then made practical appli-
cation of these arguments Of peculiar force
to his audience. and closed with the state
ment that beyond this endurance of trial
was the victory. Satan left and angels
came and strengthened Jesus. and for the
suffering of death he is now crowned with
glory and honor.
The topic tonight is "Four Things of
Exceeding Wisdom"

E. Thorndyke was given q jury trial in
the municipal court yesterday on the
charge of gambling. The case has been
dragging along for several weeks owing to
q demurrer to the original complaint by
the defense on the ground of insufficiency
f'the statement Of facts and the uncon-

gambling. The case came up yesterday
on an amended complaint charging simple
gambling. The evidence Of Detective
Roberts was to the effect that he watched
the defendant and others playing draw
poker in the Stag saloon with chips for
money. The defense allowed the case to
go to the jury without introducing any
witnesses. Judge Glasgow in instructing
the jury took the ground that. If the ante
was small, il was not gambling. The jury
returned a verdict OF not guilty
The judge has under Amusement the

TO prove its case by showing that the de-
PENDANT Was "hunko s:eerer." &. W.
Rose, counsel for the defendant, objected
to all testimony on that point, claiming
that it was similar TO proving a man to be
a burglar because he had burglar tools in
his possession. Each side cited authori-
ties, and the case was taken under advise
ment. Attorney Rose says he will appeal
the case if the decision is against him.
