PROTEST FROM THE QUEEN.
The documents laid before tn
Senate on the Hawaiian question
contain the hitherto unpublishe,
protest of Queen Liliuokalani, ad
dressed to President Harrison. Il
it she says that some of her subjects
aided by aliens, have renowned thei
loyalty and revolted against tn
constitutional Government of tn
kingdom. Upon receiving proc
that the United, States Ministe
! abetted their unlawful movement
i. and caused troops to be landed fo
that purpose she submitted to force
believing he would not have acte
in that way unless by the authorit
: of the United States Government
This action on her part, she say
: was prompted by three consider;
tions-the futility of conflict wit
the United States, desire to avoi
violence, bloodshed and destructio
, of property, and the certainty st
felt that this Government woul
. right whatever wrongs might hay
: been inflicted in the premises.
This appeal, says the Queen, is NJ
J. made for herself personally, but fo
9 her people, who have hitherto alwa,
: enjoyed the friendship and prote
0 ton of the United States. The pr
|. visional Government refused h
y permission to send by the only ava
8 able vessel-the one in which the
i ENJOYS sailed--her statements
n facts, and, therefore, she was cor
@ PEELED to wait until about Februal
i I'd before being able to despatch h
envoy. She trusts that no steps W
r. be taken by the Government of Il
n United States until her cause h
s been heard. This letter is dat,
g Honolulu, Jan. 18th.
