WASHINGTON, D. C., July II, 1857
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

WASHINGTON, d. c., July y, 1857.
SIR: The tenor of your late dis
patches comedies with other reports
from the Hawaiian kingdom, and in
dicates the most unsatisfactory and
disturbed condition of affairs in the
government of that country, which
renders it essential that the strictest
vigilance should be exercised by those
charged with the care of the rights of
American citizens within that juris-
diction, as well as the rights of the
United States secured under existing
international conventions.
While regretting deeply the exist
ence of domestic disorders in Hawaii
and with 10 disposition whatever to
interfere therein or to obstrude coun-
sci unasked, yet the consequences
which may possibly result to the in
terests of American citizens which
have grown up under the extension of
the commerce between that country
and the United States, under the
guarantees of existing treaty, must not
be jeopardized by internal confusion
in the government of these islands,
and it is the duty of the United States

periled or injured, and to do all things
necessary for their just protection.
The existing treaty between the
United States and Hawaii, as was
contemplated and intended by the
parties thereto, has created and fos-
tered commercial relations more in
innate in their nature and of incom-
parably greater volume and value
than Hawaii ever had or ever can
have with any other. government.
The growth of this commerce and
the consequent advancement of these
islands in wealth and importance has
been most satisfactory to the United
States, and by reason of their geogra-
phical position and comparative pro-
pinquity TO our own territory, they
possess an interest and Importance to
us far exceeding that with which
they can be regarded by any other
power.
In the absence of any detailed in
from you of the late dis
orders in the domestic control of Ha-
waii and the changes which have
taken place in the official corps of
that government, / am not able to
give you other than general instruc-
tions, which may be communicated
in substance to the commanding off.
Ger of the vessel or vessels of this
Government in the waters of Hawaii,
with whom you will freely confer, in
order that such prompt and efficient
action may be taken as the circum-
stances may make necessary.
While we abstain from interior
ence with the domestic affairs of Ha-
waii, in accordance with the policy
and practice of this Government, vet
obstruction TO the channels of legiti-
mate commerce under existing law
must not be allowed, and American
citizens in Hawaii must be protected
in their persons and property by the
of their country's law
and power, and no internal discord
must be suffered to impair them.
Your own aid and counsel, as well
as the assistance of the officers of our
vessels, If found neces-
sary, will therefore be promptly

ZANZIBAR AND HAWAII.

We publish elsewhere an account
of a political episode in Zanzibar,
which throws food of light upon
the true inwardness of Protector
ates. Great Britain and Germany
have lately apportioned to them
selves the remaining parts of that
territory, their substantial sover-
eighty being thinly yelled under
the name of protectorate. The
independence of a protected State
is an illusion. While the forms of
home rule" may be maintained,
its reality is conspicuous by its
absence and local influence is COM
pletely overshadowed by a foreign
power. This power may be exerted
openly or in secret, arbitrarily or in
a spirit of Cancellation, in the in
terest OF despotlsm or OF clvlllZa-
ton, but it is always there, the
power behind the Throne which
overrules both Throne and people.
If there are any in this country
who cherish the idea of a protec-
torate for Hawaii, they are hugging
delusion. That dream of auton-
omy would bring with it the dis
advantages of annexation without
its advantages. A protected
yepublic-for the monarchy is not
to be thought of-would be step
ping stone to annexation, but
superhuous one, where no stepping
stone at all is needed. Protector
ates are out of date in countries
where civilization has established
a hold, and Hawaii passed the
stage of long clothes fifty years
ago.

United States Commissioners come in
few weeks. The Commissioners be-
trayed your interests and threw away
everything in sight. There was moth
ing provided in that treaty preventing
the United States from making aliens
of you. 1t purports to convey every
thing, down to your horses and mules,
to the United States, and make Ha-
wall a beggar and an outcast at the
outset of her career. The Commits
sioners were determined that you
should have no voice in your govern
ment, like Egypt, which is governed
| from London. What Hawaiian wants
a government from Washington The
only reason for the Commissioners
attitude would be their dependence on
| the good will of the United States
Senate; but why did not the Senate
say so? / am not sure whether we
shall be annexed or not. 1t is said
that Hawaii is still in her infancy,
and Uncle Sam would deal with her
fairly. If Uncle Sam is willing to
have us, you must say that she must
have you at your own terms. Let US
insist upon our civil rights-insist
upon home rule-whether we have
annexation, monarchy or republic
here. 1t is quite possible that she will
come to US, whether we want it or
not, but We must insist that we have
our civil rights given US, and there is
only one way to obtain it-civil rights
under Statehood. In the meanwhile
let us keep still and obey the present
Government, and show the world that
the Hawaiians can remain still
whether we like the laws or not. I
give you my cordial aloha.
Applause, and music by the band.
Chas. Creighton: Every one has
the right to speak whether anneXa-
ton comes or not; it is the duty of |
every one to object to Thurston and his |
treaty (Applause). I ask you who are |
voters. Does Thurston hold you in
his vest pockets, so that he could
give you to America or Japan, as he
pleases? Voices: Mo-. Let Thurs
ton and Carter represent eighteen
men, yet they say they represent Ha-
waiians. Thurston and his great
friend Harrison are out in the cold
now, and our President Cleveland is
in. THE speaker here calls for three
cheers for Cleveland which were
given). Have Thurston and Carter a
right to barter your freedom?
A. Rosa spoke in Hawaiian the
substance of his remarks being as fol-
lows: The restoration of our Govern
nent depends on divine will. Whe-
5her it shall be restored to US or not,
We must be prepared with regard to our
Evil rights. We ourselves are ready,
out many of you need some enlight-
.nment on the subject. Our present
rouble has been brought upon us by
people who boosted of their brains.

IN TEE NORTH AMERICAN.

The article contributed to the
North American Review by Lorrin
A. Thurston, on the advantages Of
annexation. deserves careful perus-
al. 1t considers the advantages of
annexation from an American point
of view, and attempts to show that
both in its political and CONNER
cial aspect, the acquisition of these
Islands cannot fail to be of great
benefit to the United States. The
most lukewarm American can hard
ly fail to be impressed with the
strong array of facts and figures
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-03-28

which Mr.. Thurston marshals in
defence of his position, and we
would recommend the article to
the attention of the two or three
''disgruntled" Americans here.
1t is a popular notion that the
commercial benefits derived from
reciprocity have been chiefly on the
side of Hawaii, and that the United
States has accordingly purchased
its political preponderance in Ha-
waii at a heavy financial sacrifice.
Mr.. Thurston presents some very
carefully worked out estimates to
show that the popular idea is en-
tirely at variance with the facts.
Without accepting the arguments
advanced as sound in every in
stance, there can be little doubt
that the United States, or rather
its citizens have experienced very
great financial benefit both directly
and indirectly from the Recipro-
city Treaty. The stimulus to trade,
to the shipping industry, and to
the investment of American capital
in Hawaiian enterprises has been |
enormous.
To put the case briefly the
advantages have been derived from
the Reciprocity Treaty which
usually expect from
protection. Sugar growing in Ha-
waii has been on the footing of
a protected American industry,
and it has reaped the advantages
which are supposed to accrue in
such cases. The capital invested
IN it has been mainly American,
and almost every business
which has grown up in con-
lection with the sugar indus
ry, whether remotely or di-
Getty subsidiary. to it, has been in
American hands. The Protection
st at least can find no fault with !
Reciprocity nor Annexation.
The fact that small amount of !
European capital has shared in the
dvantages Of what is substantially i
n American industry may be dis i
missed, as of little moment. At Z
his very hour the millions of Eng Q
sh capital which are invested in a
.merican protected industries can 4
ardly be counted. Beer-drinkers
this city are drinking every day n
n American beer brewed with t
inglish money and protected by s
merican tariffs. y
Hawaii is already socially and g
numerically an American Deepen a.
ency. Political union will simply s!
; the last stage of a process which is
as been ripening for forty years. b

OF THE American pictures Sc
lected by the judges for exhibition
at the Columbian Exhibition it is
said that half are the work of Chi
cago artists. This is, to say the
least, a singular circumstance. 1t
may be possible that half Of the
best artists of America have made
Chicago their habitat, but it is
more in accordance with the foibles
of human nature to infer that Chi
cago is the habitat of the judges.

Lies.

An anonymous correspondent in
this mornings Ka Leo writes that
he was present when Rev. J. K.
Iosepa urged the ex-Queen to de-
clare q new constitution.
The same paper gives the names
of seven natives who it claimed have
been discharged from work on the
Road Board by Portuguese luna
for refusing to sign annexation
papers.
This is sample of the cold
blooded falsehoods in which Ka
Leo and the Holomua abound.

Rnrned br molten steel.

CLEVELAND, o., August s.-There
was horrible accident in the convert
ing department of the Basement Steel
Works here this morning, and five men
were terribly burned and cooked by
molten metal. The workmen were
about to make a cast and the apparatus
become unmanageable. With a hiss
the hot metal flowed into the pit under
the converter and as it struck the water
there was a terrific explosion. Fore
man John Lilly, Robert McCloud and
jesse Smell are all terribly burned. Two
laborers, names unknown, also received
injuries that may prove fatal.
