In view Of these conclusions, | was in
struc ell by the president of tho United
States TO take advantage Of an early OPP
portunlty to inform the queen Of this de-
termination and Of his views as to the
resp visibility of our government Tho
president, however, felt that we, by
our original interference, had
incurred responsibility to the
whole Hawaiian community and that it
wou dnDt be just to put one party mt the
mercy Of the other. | was therefore in-
struc ed at the same time to inform her
that the president expected that she
would pursue q maguanimous course
by granting full amnesty to all who partici-
pated IN thr movement against her, lnclul-
ing persons who are, or who have been
ollClally or otherwise connected with the
provisional government, depriving them
OF no right or privilege which they en-
JoYed before the revolution of last Janu-
ary ana that all obligations created by the
provisional government in the course Of
administration should be assumed.
In obedience to the command of tine
president, have secured the queens
agreement 10 this course, and | now de-
livor a writing, signed by her, and duly at
tested, copy Of which l will leave with
you.
Mr.. Willis then solemnly demanded
that the provisional government abii-
cate and permit the queen to resume
her throne.
Presidtnt Dole replied, refusing to
consider this demand. A week of
terrible fears ensued, after the ar,
rival Of the revenue Cutter Corwin.
Minister Willis held the menace Of
using force with the provisional
government and the citizens got in
readiness to rush to arms, though it
was generally believed the minister
was blufiing. All fears We're ended
by the receipt of the United Press dis
patch per steamer Arawa on Dec. 97.

PLUCKT YOUNG LOUIS BRUMAN.
He Climbs a Mile Uphill With
Bullet Through Him.
Terrible Hunting Accident on the
Rubicon-An All-Nieht Journey
to PIacervIIie.

If Louis Bruman survives the wound
received by him on Friday morning last,
while hunting in the Sierra Nevada, and
the rough journey he was obliged to
undergo to reach this city. he will be
very fortunate young man.
Bruman's home is at Michigan Bar,
where his father, Charles A. Bruman, IS
an old and well-known citizen. In COM
pany with his brother Edward and has
cousin, Charles a. Bliss, the young man
was on camping trip on the Rubicon,
noted hunting aud fishing locality near
Lake Tahoe. On Friday morning last
the young men left the camp for day s
shooting, and by $50 O'Clock they were
Eve miles away in the hills.
One of Bruman's shoes became un-
laced, and be stopped to fasten 1t. lie
rested his rifle against rock, and While
he was engaged in lacing his shoe the
weapon fell and was discharged while
the muZZle was pointing toward hlm.
The bullet entered his abdomen, int1Ict-
ing a wound that would ordinarily prove
fatal.
The young man was alone at the time,
but with wonderful grit and nerve he set
out to reach the camp. lie climbed uD-
hill about mile, when his strength gave
out and he sank down exhausted. He
was found shortly afterward by his COM
panions, who constructed rude litter
and carried him four miles over cliffs and
canyons to their camp.
Their wagon was got in readiness at
once, the wounded man made as COM
Portable therein as possible, and at $3.50 IN
the afternoon the party started with him
for Sacramento in the hope Of securing
medical aid in time TO save his lie.
All that afternoon and the following
night they journeyed down the rough
side of the Sierra Nevada toward the
valley, and reached Placerville at $3.50
O'Clock on Saturday morning after most
trying and perilous trip of fifty miles, 1t
would be a wearisome journey for per-
sons in good health, but to the wounded
youth il was doubly so, and the only
wonder is that ne lived through it.
He was placed on the cars there and
brought to this city in the afternoon,
where he received medical attendance
without further delay. Yesterday an
operation was performed on him, and the
belief is expressed that the patient will
pull through to recovery ii blood-poison-
ing does not ensue. It is thought that
none of the intestines are cut, but up to
last evening he had not been able to take
any nOurishment.
The unfortunate young man is brother
of +. Bruman, a clerk in the County Re-
corder's office, and he Is also nephew of
Peter wager, a well-known citizen of
Folsom.
