ooLBuRN,s STATEMENT.
The Hawaiian Commissioners Deny 1t in
Every Particular.

Every Particular.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-This evening
Commissioner Thurston, with the consent
Of his colleagues, mode statement in re-
ply to the letter from j. F. Colburn, ex-
minister of the interior of Hawaii. In it
he says the charge that the whole move
ment was a preconceived conspiracy in
favor of annexation has been already de-
MED by the commissioners, but as Colburn
reiterates it, he thinks more specific de-
NAL should be made. The uprising, he
says, took place at the express request of
the cabinet, of which Colburn is mem.
Der, in response to call from the cabinet
to the citizens to support them in arms
against the demands of the queen, which
demands she was prepared to enforce with
the entire military and police force of the
kingdom, and after she threatened the
lives of the members of the cabinet them
selves. If there was any conspiracy to
precipitate matters in the interest of an
nexation, then the queen and cabinet
were the principal members in the con-
spiracy, for the queen was the one who
initiated the matter and the cabinet was
the first who requested the people to take
up arms against the queen.
MIR. Thurston proceeds at length to give
further facts to disprove the conspiracy
theory and says there is no public
acknowledgement of a provisional gov
eminent by the American minister until
after abdication of the queen and surren-
der of the barracks and police station to-
gether with all forces and munitions of
war located therein. AS to further action
of the provisional government requesting
protectorate and the United States min
lister acting in compliance Herewith and
establishing such protectorate pending
negotiations in Washington, would say,
having every confluence in the men COM
posing the provisional government, that
do not believe they would have taken
this action unless they deemed it neces-
sary for the preservation of life and prop
erty. A protectorate in no matter inter
feres with the regular progress of public
business under the provisional govern
ment nor with negotiations with the
United States government.

DOVER, N H., Feb. 9.-The county

dred inmates, caught fire, but was saved
by the efforts OF the poor, who carried
pals OF water and extinguished the
flames.
A number of them were painfully
burned. The Dover fire department. was
summoned, but the distance and bad con-
dition of the roads were such that the ap-
paratus arrived too late to be OF any as
sistance. In the smoking ruins can be
seen the charred remains of number of
unfortunate victims still lying on the
beds. How the fire started is a mystery

! of the Hawaiian Islands.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-When the Sen
ate went into executive session it released
the Injunction of secresy upon the cores
pondence between the United States and
the British and French governments from
1912 to 1874 respecting the seizure OF the
Hawaiian islands by Lord Paulet for the
British government. The correspondence
ends with a declaration by the British
and French governments OF the independ-
ence of Hawaii and their guarantee never
to seek possession of the islands.
There appears to be very general feel
i ing of satisfaction at the way affairs have
taken their present shape. This after
noon the Hawaiian commissioners re-
ceived a telegram from Charles M. Cooke
announcing his arrival at San Francisco
with dispatches for them from the provis-
ional government. Late tonight Secre-
tary of State Foster received the following
dispatch from Minister Stevens:

government. placed the government under
United States protection during negotiations,
not interfering with the execution of public af-
fairs"
Secretary Foster said Mr.. Stevens &C
ton was without instructions from the
state department. In fact, the movement
for change of government was uneX-
pected and had not been anticipated by
instructions from Washington. Mr..
Stevens, therefore. was compelled to act
on his own Judgment as the emergency
had arisen.
There was no conference today between
the secretary and the Hawaiian commits
sioners, but it is understood they will see
him tomorrow.

action of Minister Stevens became the
subject of general comment in the House

committal of this government TO annexa-

tai of Congress by the executive branch
OF the government. There were some
members who severely criticised Minister

warranted.
