Yesterdays instalment Of Blounts /
report treated of Bowen and Sewall's
attempt to make cash compromise
with the OK Queen. The Commissioners
told of his conversations with Bowen
and President Dole upon this subject
and of the questions regarding it which
he put to the late sovereign. The mar
rative was cut of just as Mrs. Domnis
answered leading question as follows;
She replied that parties who had rep
resented her in other matters had talked
to her on the subject that she had de
clined to indicate any disposition To oct
in the matter that she had SAID 10
some of them that she would wait until
President Dole came to see her in per-
son, and had heard what he had TO say:
that she did not intend to enter into any
negotiations until the Government at
Washington had taken action on the IN
formation derived through my report
She said she had sent MIR. Neumann To
Washington to prevent the ratlilcallon
of the treaty and to have commission
sent ont here, and he reported that he

asked her what she desired me to say to
the Government at Washington as to
her purpose in the matter OF this nego-
tiation. She expressed wish that
should say from her that no one was
authorized to act in her behalf in this
matter and that she should take no
action until the Government at Wash
ington had passed upon the information
derived through the Commissioner
Lest she might make improper infer
enccs from my visit or something | had
said, told her that one of the objects OF
my visit was to get all the facts con
nected with her dethronement and the
disposition of the people of the Islands
in relation to the present Government:
that she could readily see that that was
matter to be hereafter considered by
the Government in such manner as it
saw fit Without any apparent connec-
ton with what had been said, she re-
marked that much depended on Mr.
Spreckels as to the future; that he and
Mr. Bishop had been in the habit of furn-
ishing money TO the Government. and
that if Mr.. Spreckels did not advance to
the Government she thought it would
90 to pieces. To this l made no response.
II is evident that she is being impressed
with the idea that the present Govern
ment could not get money enough to
ran itself long.

press any news on this proposition at
