that and 1 would not do it." Pausing a
moment, she continued: These people were
the cause of the revolution and the consti-
tuition Of 1887. There will now never be any
peace while they are here. They must be
sent out of the country or punished and
their property confiscated.'
then said: II have no further communi-
cation to make you now and will have none
until hear from my government, which
will probably be three or four weeks"
-Four Friends Named.
Nothing was said for several minutes,
when 1 asked her whether she was willing
to give me the names of four of her most
trusted friends. as might, within a day
or two. consider 1t my duty to hold a con-
sultation with them in her presence. She
assented and gave these names-J. o. Car
ter John Richardson, Joseph Nawahi and
T. Z. MacFarlane. l then inquired whether
she had any fears of her safety at her pres
ent residence. Washington square. She re-
piled 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 prowling about
the adjoining premises-a school house
with large yard. 1 informed her that 1
was authorized by the President to offer
her protection, either on one of the war
ships or at the legation, and desired her
to accept the offer at once She declined,
saying she believed it was best for her at
present to remain at her own residence 1
then said to her that at any moment.
night or day, this offer of our government
was open to her acceptance The inter-
view thereupon, after some personal re-
marks was brought to a close
Upon reflection, / concluded not to hold
any consultation at present with the queens
friends, as they have no official position,
and, furthermore, / feared If known to so
many her declarations might become pub
lie, to her great detriment, IL not danger,
and to the interruption of the plans Of our
government.
None of Them of High Reputation.
Mr.. j. o. Carter is a brother of Mr..
H. A. H. Carter, the former Hawaiian min
lister to the United States, and is conceded
to be a man of high character, integrity and
intelligence. He Is about fifty-fve years
old. He has had no public experience. Mr..
Macfarlane, like Carter, is of white paren-
tage, Is an unmarried man, about forty-two
years old. and is engaged in the commission
business. John Richardson is a young man
of about thirty-five years old. He is a cou-
sin Of Samuel Parker, the half-caste, who
was a member of the queens cabinet at the
time Of the last revolution. He is a resident
of Maui. being designated in the directory
OF 1851 as attorney-at-law, stock raiser and
proprietor of Mark livery stable" Richard
son Is "half-caste." Joseph Nawasi Is a full
biooded native, practices law, as he told
me, in the native courts, and has a moderate
English education. He has served twenty
years in the legislature, but displays very
little knowledge Of the structure and phil
osophy OF the government which he so long
represented. He is fifty-one years old, and
Is president of the native Hawaiian Politi-
cal Club.
Upon being asked to name three of the
most prominent native leaders. he gave the
names of John Z. Bush, X. W. Wilcox and
modestly added: Il am a leader" John f.
Bush is a man of considerable ability, Lut
his reputation is very bad r. w. Wilcox
Is the notorious half-breed who engineered
the revolution of 1889. OF all these Incn
Carter and Macfarlane are the only two
to whom the ministerial bureaus could be
safely intrusted. In conversation with Sam
Parker and also with Jos. Nawasi, 1t was
plainly evident, that the queens implied
condemnation Of the constitution Of 1887
was fully indorsed by them.
What Would He the Result of RestOra.
From these and other facts which have
been developed feel satisfied that there
will be a concerted movement in the event
of restoration for the overthrow Of that
constitution. which would mean the over
throw Of constitutional and limited govern
ment. and the absolute dominion Of the
queen.
The law referred to by the queen Is chap
ter ., section .. Of the penal code. as follows:
Whoever shall commit the crime of trea-
son shall suffer the punishment of death;
and all his property shall be confiscated to
the government
There are under this law no degrees of
treason. Plotting alone carries with it the
death sentence.
1 need hardly add in conclusion that the
tension of feeling is so great that the
promptest action is necessary to prevent
disastrous consequences. 1 send cipher
telegram asking that Mr.. Blount's report
be withheld for the present, and l send with
1t a telegram not in cipher. as follows:
