BLOUNT'S STORY
INDICATES THAT CE ONCE
MORE REIGNS IN HAWAII.
A Policy Of Deliberation VIII be Fur-
sued in Settling the Points Now at

WAsHINGToN, ...y l2.-The state de
partment has just received voluminous
dispatches from Commissioner Blount at
Hawaii, in which he depicts the situation
of affairs from the inception of the revolu-
tion which placed the provisional govern
ment in authority down to the time of his
arrival on the island upon a thorough in
vestigation from all sides, and since upon
personal knowledge of events as they have
transpired.
He makes no recomm endations, but
leaves the president and the secretary of
state to draw their own conclusions. He
does not think IL in the logic Of the situa-
ton that the monarchy should be restored.
The provisional government is becoming
more in harmony with the wishes of the
people every day.
The commissioners, having refused to use
his office to restore the queen. and having
intimated that the Washington govern
ment was not SO inclined, set aside that
phase Of the question, which also met with
ready acquiescencc. The mercantile and
commercial interests, he reports, are
largely In favor of some stable government
brought about through the influence Of
the United States, whether 1t be on an in
dependent basis or under the
Jurisdiction Of the United States.
The provisional government and inhab-
itants of the islands, as well as the foreign
residents, now fully understand that the
United States government will not tolerate
any interference by any foreign power.
The knowledge Of this purpose has given
the provisional government a prestige
against the intrigues of local or outside
influences.
The retirement OF Minister Stevens and
the appointment of COMMISSIONS Blount,
who Is 1w familiar with the conditions
on the islands and the policy Of this gov
eminent, is admitted In official circles to
mean a policy Of elaboration in the final
determination Of the relations of the
country to the United States.
COMMISSIONS Blount reports every
thing as peaceful and no apprehension OF
q disturbance ~ existing conditions

ALMY'S LIFE HISTORY

Coming, rs did the letter, in the critical
point in Chaplain Wilkins endeavors to-
have Almy turn from his agnostic views,
It had the effect of making Almy more

letter he began to bemoan his fate.
"All my life said Almy, 'has been a
life against itself; my love affairs have al
ways resulted in murder; no matter where
] went or what | did, dire calamity befell
me or mine
These startling words were the prelude
of n wholesale confession made recently TO
the chaplain. 1t was by a quiet, pains
taking method that "Parson" wilkins

che chaplain.
"Wheres"

Then he proceeded to tell Mr. wilkins
how he had heard all Of the talk between
isaac Sawtelle and the chaplain.
Almy's cell was directly underneath
Sawtelle's, and great care was taken by
the chaplain that the guards were out OF
hearing distance, but he hadtnoi idea that the
sboy" ms he calls Amy, could overhear.
A Rev. Mr.. Grover IL Nashua appealed
TO the governor TO see Y he could not go
and visit Sawtelle. Mr.. Grover went
with the chaplain, and according to Mr..
wilkins statement Sawtelle laid out" the
