Ny DEAR NORDHoFF: Now about
my memorial to Mr.. Blount. After
inquiry yesterday, l find that | had
no right to give it to you to read just
now. Therefore you will please not
mention to anyone that you have read
it, except to Mr.. Blount, as you would
put me TO serious trouble indeed. II
has for the present, anyhow, TO be
considered as Of strictly confidential
nature, and therefore you will please
do so, and not use any part of 1t.
When the time comes l will be glad
TO let you have it.
Very truly yours,
G. TRoUssEAU.
You found out yesterday that had
not deceived you about Spreckels.
The interview is big thing for our
side.
The men who had been instructed
to provide the necessary force for the
taking of the Government building
are Mr.. P. Gardiner, an Englishman,
and Mr.. Harry Won Werthern, an
American by birth, of German origin.
They are willing to give you full in
formation about their action, the as
surance they had of the support of the
United States forces, etc.
The opium bill was carried not only
by the natives, but by a majority of
the whole of the members.
Almost daily, to my personal knowl-
edge, meetings were held at Mr..
Stevens house in which the possibili-
ties of a peaceful revolution with the
prospects of annexation were dis
cussed. Prominent ut these meetings
were the Chief Justice, Mr.. Dole, Mr..
Thurston, Mr.. Hartwell, Chas Carter
and Others, also Capt. Wiltse.
The next morning. patient of mine,
P. Gardiner by name, an Englishman,
called. He was under treatment. He
said: al am in hurry today" (the
office being pretty full "try not to
keep me waiting" This was about
DAM. He added: To-day January
17th) we depose the Queen. have to
be on hand any time after Il o'clock.
The call will be one tap of the bell.
Tower Bell.i,n Knowing my man
well as one of the unemployed, and
knowing that his sympathies were the
other way, said What do you get
for that job ?" "One hundred dol
lars cash, $3.50 day and board after
wards, and the promise of billet of
not less than 500 month "Who
made you the promise ?n 'Thurston.n
The man is still connected with the
revolutionists, and is willing to make
the statement to Mr.. Blount himself.
Let the United States Government
put things back where Mr.. Stevens
found them on Junuary IL; restore
the Queen; let her Call the legislature
together and state to them, by special
that in presence of the ne
cessity in which the United States are
placed to secure the possession of the
Hawaiian Islands, she herself is pre-
pared to abdicate in favor of Grover
President of the United
States, and expects the representatives
Of the people to make no opposition to
the measure, and at once ratify a
treaty Of cession as agreed upon be-
tween yourself and herself.
Being done in that manner, you will |
find little opposition, and all of US will |
assist in bringing the matter to safe |
and peaeeable solution.
The revolution was made by Messrs.
Dole, Thurston, w. o. Smith, c. L.
Carter, Judd, etc., all sons of mission
aries, who owe the whole of their |
social and peeuniary position to the
natives.
In their respective professions as
awyers, they never were able to make
/ living.
l have known the Queen intimately
or over twenty years. When / ar
lived here she had not been mar
led long, and her husband, John o.
Dominis, an American, and an init
nate friend of mine, was fondly be-
owed by her. John Dominisi charac-
er was unimpeachable-as anyone
Who knew him-Mr. G. r. Bishop,
dr. W. F. Allen and others. I am
low speaking from physicians point
# view. John was, to use a euphem-
sm, rather irregular as a husba nd-as
many husbands in my experience are.
lie was fond of society, sometimes
ook more liquor than was good for
lin, and occasionally although he
lever kept a regular mistress) had
ONE love adventures. In this small
community they were reported to his
wife, and can vouch to how she suf-
cred by it. She was exceedingly fond
md jealous of him. But, like most
lnfaithful husbands, he would not
or one moment shut his eyes on even
my sign of unfaithfulness on the part
# his wife as long as he was alive;
.nyone slandering his wife would
ave, L assure you, been severely pun
shed. If there has been any failing
n the Queens faithfulness to her hus-
and it never has been known; and as
ar as Wilson is concerned, it is on the
art Of Mr.. Stevens an unmitigated
lie.
Mr.. PARKER: The restoration Of the
queen under an American protector
tie would be a more stable govern
nent than the old regime. There is
feeling that unless we are under |
ONE country like the United States
t would be the same old revolution
~ trouble coming up all the time.
So that 1 say do not think
will ever be stable government
Inless we are under a protectorate.
I we are under a protectorate, l say
ct it be the United States. l do not
ay this because you are the American
Commissioner.
