dent in his message of December is, was
included to-day. 1t states that on Mon
day, the 18th of November, by appoint
ment the Queen, accompanied by the
royal hamberlain, called at the legation.
No one was present at the interview but
Willis and the Queen. After formal greet
ings the Queen was informed that the
President OF .he United S ates had an i'm
portant communication to make to her. and
asked If she was willing TO receive it
alone. She answered in the affirmative,
and Willis, continuing, said:
81 then made known to her the Presi-
dents sincere regret that through the un-
authorized Intervention of the United
States she had been obliged to surrender
the sovereignty, and his hope, with her
consent and her cooperation, was that the
wrong done to her people might be re-
dressed. She bowed her acknowledgment.
~ then said the President expects and
believes that when reinstated you will
show forgiveness and magnanimity, that
you will wish to be Queen of all the people.
both native and foreign, that you will make
haste to secure their love and loyalty and
20 secure their friendship and establish
good government
''She made no reply, and after waiting
moment l continued: The President not
only tenders you sympathy, but wishes to
help you. Before fully making known to
you his purposes, desire to know whether
you are willing to answer certain questions
" hiph IL ia my duty tn ask Vou
"She answered. 4 am willing
II then asked her: Should you be re-
stored .to the throne would you grant
full amnesty as to life and property to all
those persons who have been or who are
now in the Provisional Government, or
who were instrumental in the overthrow
of your Government"
"She hesitated moment and then said:
There are certain laws of my Govern
ment by which / shall abide. My decision
would be. as the law directs, that such
persons should be beheaded and their prop
eriy confscaIed to the Government
81 then said. repeating her words: 1t is
your feeling that these people should be
beheaded and thelr property be contis-
cated?'
''She replied: 1t is
'Inquiring if she fully understood the
meaning of what said to her and her re-
plies she answered: L understood and
mean all l said. but might leave the de-
cision to my Minister'S
ITO this / replied: Suppose it is neces-
sary to make decision before you ap-
poin ted any Ministers and you were asked
to issue royal proclamation of general
amnesty would you do il?
''She answered: i have no legal right to
do that and would not do it, She con-
tinued: These people were the cause of
the revolution and the overthrow of the
constitution OF 1887. There never will be
any peace while they are here. They must
be sent out of the country or punis he'd and
their property confscated.'
II then told her that had no further
communication to make and would have
none until ] heard from my Government.
[ asked her to give me the names of four of
her most trusted friends, as l might in a
day or two SO consider it my DUTY TO hold
a consultation with them in her presence.
She named ]. o. Carter. John Richardson,
Joseph Nawaihai and s. G. Macfarlane.
al inquired If she bad any fears of her
safety at her present residence, Washing
ton square, and she replied that she did
have some fears, for while she had trusted
friends who guarded her house every
night they were only armed with clubs, and
STABILITY dressed men were often seen
proving about the adjoining premises. l
in formed her that / was authorized by the
President to offer her protection. either on
one of our warships or at the legation, and
desired her to accept the offer at once, but
she declined, saying that she believed it
best for her at present to remain at her
residence. then told her that at any
moment, day or night. this offer of our
Government was open to her."
The interview thereupon, after some
personal remarks, was brought To a close,
and Willis then states that he concluded
for the present, not to hold any consulta-
ton with the Queens friends, as he
feared her declaration might become
public, to her great detriment, If not
danger, and interrupt the plans of our
Government.
Reviewing the Queens friends, Willis
states that Carter and Macfarane are the
only Two to whom ministerial bureaus
could be safely entrusted. Continuing,
Willis says:
II am satisfied that there will be a con-
certed movement. in the event of restora-
ton, for the overthrow of the constitution
of 1887, which would mean the absolute
dominion Of the Queen. 1 need hardly add,
in conclusion, the tension OF feeling is so
great that the promptest action is neces-
sary to prevent disastrous consequences.
l send cipher telegram asking that
Blounts report be withheld for the present.
and another telegram to the effect that the
views OF the first party are so extreme as
to require further Instructions
ALBERT S. WILLIS"
