then said: Il have no further communi-
cation TO make to you now, and will have
none until near from my government, which
Will probably be three or four weeks.
Nothing was said for several minutes when
asked her whether she was willing to give
the names of four of her most trusted friends
as might, within day or two consider it my
duty to hold consultation with them in her
presence. She assented and gave their names:
j. y. Carter, John Richardson, Joseph NaW-
ahi and E. @. MacFarlane.
L then inquired whether she had any fears
OF her safety at her present residence, Wash
lngton square. She replied that she did have
some fears, that while she had trusty friends
that guarded her house every night, they
were armed only with clubs, and that men
shabbily dressed, had been often seen prowl-
ing ABOUT the adjoining premises-a
school house-with a large yard. l informed
her that was authorized by the President to
oner her protection, either on one of our war
shlps or at the legation, and desired her to
accept the OFFER at once. She declined saying
that she believed it was best for her at
present TO remain at her own residence.
then said to her that al any moment, night or
DAY this offer Of our government was open to
her acceptance.
The interview thereupon, after some per-
sonal remarks was brought to close.
Upon reflection concluded not to hold any
consultation at present with the queens s
friends, as they have no offcial position, and
furthermore because feared II known to so
many, her declarations might become public
to her great detriment If not danger and to
the interruption of the plans of our govern
ment. j. o. Carter is q brother Of H. A. P.
Carter, the former Hawaiian minister to the
United States, and is conceded to be a man
Of high character, integrity and intelligence.
he is about So years old. He has had no pub
lie experience MacFarlane, like Carter, is
OF white parentage, is an unmarried man,
about AZ years old, and is engaged in the com.
mission business. He has had no public ex-
perience.
John Richardson is man about IS
years old. He is a cousin Of Samuel Parker,
the half caste, who was a member of the
queens cabinet at the time Of the last revolu-
ton. He is resident Of Maui being desig-
mated In the directory of 1889 as Attorney at
marck livery stable"
Richardson is half caste.
Joseph Nawakt is full blooded native,
practices law as he told me, in the native
courts and has modern English education.
He has served twenty years in the legislature,
but displays very little knowledge OF the
structure and philosophy of the government
which he so long represented. He is 81 years
Old ana Is president OF the native Hawaiian
political club.
Upon being asked to name three of the
most prominent native leaders, he gave the
names Of John E. Bush, r. w. Wilcox and
modestly added, Il am leader" John +.
Bush is man of considerable ability, but his
reputation is very bad. r. w. Wilcox Is the
notorious half breed, who engineered the rev
olution' Of 1888. OF all these men, Carter and
MacFarlane are the only two. to whom the
ministerial bureaus could be safely entrusted.
In conversation with Sam Parker and also
with Joseph Nawakl, 1t was plainly evident
that the queens implied condemnation of the
constitution Of 1887, was fully indorsed by
them.
From these and other. facts which have
been developed, feel satisfied that there will
be concerted movement in the event of re-
StOIAtiOQ
tion, which would mean the overthrow Of con-
stitutional and limited government, and the
absolute dominion of the queen.
The law referred TO by the queen is chapter
VI.5sec. 8, of the penal code, as follows
Whoever shall commit the crime of treason
shall suffer the punishment Of death; and all
his property shall be contscated to the gov
ernment." There are, under this law. no de-
grees Of treason. Plotting alone carries with
il the death sentence. l need hardly add in
conclusion, that the tension OF feeling Is so
to prevent disastrous consequences.

MORE RECENT EVENTS DEALT WITH.
The remainder of the correspondence
relates to recent events in the
history of the Hawaiian muddle,
which have become public from
time to time, but are here set out in chro-
biological order, with Minister Willis
observations upon them. They include
the subsequent signing by the queen OF
her amnesty agreement, the presentation
by Minister Willis Of this agreement to
President Dole, with demand upon the
provisional government for the reinstate-
ment of the queen and President Dole's
prompt rejection of the demand, with an
interesting history of minor events of the
intervening time. The whole concludes
with copy of the last instructions sent
Minister Willis by the steamer which
sailed from San Francisco to-day. Presi-
dent Dole's reply was delivered by him
self personally to Minister Willis at mid
night of Dec 90 and was sent to San
Francisco by the revenue cutter Corwin,
whose captain was enjoined to allow no
news of what had transpired to become
public until Minister Willis dispatches
had reached the state department. Presi-
dent Doles reply is about 1900 words in
length and is remarkably vigorous docu-
ment.
EXTRACTS FROM THE REPLY.
Its substance has been published. Fol
lowing are extracts from 1t:
While we accept the decision Of the PreSt-
dent Of the United States declining further to
consider the annexation proposition as the
nnaI conclusion Of the present administration,
we do not feel inclined to regard it as the last
word of the American government upon this
subject; for the history Of the mutual
relations of the two countries, OF
American effort and influence in building up
the Christian civilization which has so con-
spicuously aided in giving this country an
honorable place among independent nattous,
the geographical position of these islands and
the Importance to both countries of the profit
able reciprocal commercial interests which
have long existed. together with our weak
ness as a sovereign nation, all point with
convincing force to political union between
the two countries as the necessary
logical result from the circumstances
mentioned. This conviction is emphasized
by the favorable expressions OF American
statesmen over long period in favor of an
nexation, conspicuous among whom are the
names of w. l.. Marcy, William ii. Seward
Hamilton Fish and James q. Blaine. all
former secretaries of State and especially so
by the action of your last administration in
negotiating treaty of annexation with this
government, and sending IL to the Senate
with view to its ratification.
VIC shall therefore, continue the project Of
political union with the United States as
conspicuous feature of our foreign policy, con
tidently hoping thatssooner or later it will be
crowned with success, to the lasting beneht
of both countries.
