either on one of our warships or ut 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. |
then said to her that at any moment,
night or day. this offer of our Govern
ment was open TO her acceptance. The
interview thereupon, after some per-
sonal remarks, was brought to close.
| need hardly add in conclusion that
the tension of feeling is so great that
the promptest action is necessary to
prevent disastrous consequences.
Under date of Dec. 9th, Mr.. Willis
writes to Mr.. Gresham, saying that on
Dec. 5th, Mr.. Wilson. who was Marshal
of the Queen at the time of dethrone-
ment. called upon him and left docu-
ment containing the method of pro-
cedure to be adopted in the event of the
restoration of the Queen, Mr.. Willis
SAYS:
IAN analysis of the list of special ad.
visors. whether native or foreign. is not
encouraging to the friends of good gov
eminent or of American interests. The
Americans. who, for over half a
century, held commanding place in
the councils of State, are ignored, and
other nationalities, English especially,
are placed in charge. This is true both
of the special list of advisors and of the
supplementary list. II these lists had
been selected by Mr.. Wilson himself, no
special importance would attach to
them, but it would seem that
it is list which has been approved
after consultation with leading Royal
lists and most probably with the APP
prevail of the Queen.
"The method of procedure was as
follows. /. Proclamation by the Queens
Government of their resumption of the
control of the Government of the Ha
waiian Islands; 2. Appointment OF
Commander-in-Chief and staff 3. Pro
clamation of martial law and the
suspension of the writ of hdbeds corpus
4. Calling on all loyal citizens and well
wishers of the Government to register
their names for service at office: enroll
ment of volunteers 5. Surrender oil
all arms and ammunition in privat,
hands, and the prohibition of all sal,
and transport of arms and ammunition
other than by direction of the Com
mander in-chief 6. Taking possession
of all Government buildings and othe
