LILiUoKALASi's LETTER TO
HARRISON.
WASHINGTON, ID. g. Feb. 1.-THE
documents laid before tho Senate ON
the Hawaiian question contain
hitherto unpublished protest OF Queen
Liliuokalani, addressed to President
Harrison. In II she says some Of her
subjects. aided by aliens, renounced
their loyalty and revolted against the
constitutional government OF the
kingdom. Upon receiving proof that
the United States minister abetted
their u unlawful movements AMI caused
troops 10 DO landed for that purpose,
she submitted to force, believing that
he would not have acted that way
unless by authority Of the United
States government. This action on
her part, she says, was prompted by
three considerations: This futility Of a
conflict with the United States; u de-
siro to avoid violence, bloodshed and
destruction OF property, and tho Ger.
tainty she felt that this government
VIII right whatever wrongs may have
been inflicted In tho promises.
This appeal, says the queen, IL not
made for herself personally, but for her
people, who hitherto have always en-.
loyed this friendship and protection OF
the United States. The provisional
government refused her permission TO
send by the only available vcssel-the
one In which their ENJOYS sailed-her
statements OF the facts, aud therefore
che was compelled to wait until about
the 2ud Of February before Dei < able
10 dispatch her envoy. She trusts that
no steps will be taken by tho govern
ment Of the United States until her
cause has been heard. This letter In
dated Honolulu, January 18th. Tho
Information conveyed In the San
Francisco dispatches relating TO the
satisfactory progress OF Affairs Ia Ha-
wall was received with much pleasure
by the commissioners OF the provisional
government. The commissioners OF

cisco, stating that II. =. Pratt, the Ha.
Whiian consulgeneral, had sent Vice.

efnmental purposes. The expenses OF

palu from this specific revenue. Mrs.
