ington"
Yves, at a later period"
"Was the Queen advised by her
Ministers to surrender because the
sympathy of the United States was
with the revolutionistss'
81 knew 1t was the Queens idea
that Mr.. Stevens was in sympathy
with this movement. The Queen
was reluctant to sign her abdication,
but did so on the ground that it
would come up for review at Wash
ington. l told her so myself. 1t
was the best terms of settlement we
could get. I told it to President
Dole, and he received and indorsed
it,"
when this interview was going on
between you, the Cabinet Ministers
and the Queen, was it known then
that the Government had been re-
cognizedr
81 do not think the Queen was
told. do not remember that IL had
been spoken off,
"Did you know iti'
81 think l knew it,"
"What mean is this: Before you
took the message Of the Queen back,
this protest, the Provisional Govern
ment had been recognized''
"Yes."
Had that been done at the time
you left the Government House to
60 with the Cabinet Ministers to
talk with the Queen'"
"If my memory serves me right II
had"
Commissioner Blount had q long
interview with Mr.. Waterhouse, who
was also member Of the committee
OF safety, and who, though also an
unwilling witness, corroborated Mr..
Wundenberg and Mr.. Damon in
most OF their statements.
They are not only celebrating
what was q fraud in its origin, but
what has been dismal failure in its
achievements. The Provisional Gov
ernment was formed professedly to
exist until terms Of union with the
United States could be negotiated
and ratified. Instead OF that II ID
under notice Of ejectment as a
fraudulent tenant by the United
States Government. II Is informed
by the same authority that the ques
tion OF annexation Is dead issue
What else OF achievement are they
celebrating' Nothing but the wors
failure OF government that ha
ever existed in these islands. II is {
government that has cost for il
own bare self-subsistence to date, II
round numbers, Sl5i, 900 in one year
or S3l, 900 more than the entire ap
preparations for the civil list, pen
sions, Legislature and Privy Coun
Gil, and military Of the monarchy
I for tho two years from March 81
1892. There has never been q yea
| for many years past SO barren il
the prosecution OF public works
Crime OF all kinds has increased
. The revenue service has be
= come the langhing-stock Of SNUG
, glers under this Provisional Go,
ernment. Not for seven years hav
the makers and executors Of the law
so revelled in treasury patronag
for their own business houses, O
seized upon salaried Offices for then
A selves and their relatives to q create
. extent. Surely il the p. q. an
their supporters took a good look q
:, themselves they would be ashame
I to engage in any celebration OF the
4 first anniversary. Their revolutio
= has blocked capital from enterin
!" the country, and blighted all II
n favorable conditions that existed Il
! fair years business. The first al
niversary, moreover, finds the part
u Of the p. Il. torn by dissension, me-
> y aced by its own rabbles, and di
IS tracted by score OF conflicting
N sues and cross purposes. They ha'
d glutted themselves with mean r
y venges on those who refused to wo
II, ship the green image OF the P. {
t. but find themselves without enoul
r spoils to safe the greedy appetite
: the motley hordes OF their supper
'ir ers. Well may it be asked, What a
at they celebrating! At the same tin
in let them celebrate to their hear
content. Even while the sulphur
,s their fireworks fills the air, I
ld smoke OF the approaching M
n steamer may be writing their doc
on in the sky.
