The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1894-01-23

several weeks you failed to disclose your in
tenticns and have only partially done so
up to the present moment, leaving this gov
eminent to infer what they may ultimately
be from the letter from Mr.. Gresham and
the presidents message, in which it has
been declared, in very distinct language,
that the deposed queen ought to be restored
to the throne by the government of the
United States and to leave the United States
to infer that this assumed obligation would
be discharged
"Your language expressed in public, de-
clared that you intended to perform some
act when the proper time arrived without
disclosing what that act would be. Under
these circumstances there arose at once Il
general feeling of disquet. The natural in
ference from your attitude language and re-
fuSal to disclose your purpose and from
Mr.. Gresham's letter and the presidents
message was. and is that you intend to
use force in maintaining your policy. The
fact is well known that you, as admitted
by yourself in your communication of De-
cember 18TH, without the consent or knoWl-
edge of MS government, have held negoti1p
tions with the deposed queen for the pur-
pose of overthrowinS this government. The
apprehension of both political parties,
We'll as that of persons who remain neutral
in these matters, is that you had instruc-
tons to use physical force for the restora-
ton of the monarchy. | am not prepared
to state that this government entertains
this opinion, although its want of informa-
ton to the contrary has compelled it to
act as if it were correct.
I'm consequence of your attitude in this
behalf the enemies of the government, De-
lieying it is your intention to restore the
monarchy by force, have become ernboI-
dened Threats Of assassination of the Off
GERS Of this government have been made.
The police force is frequently informed
of conSpiracies to create disorder. Aged
sick persons of all nationalities have been
and are in a state of distress and anxiety.
Children in the schools are agitated by the
fear of political disturbances. The wives,
sisters and daughters of residents, incud-
ing many Americans, have been in daily
apprehension of civic disorder many of
them having even armed themselves in
preparation therefor. Citizens have made
preparations in their homes for defense
against assaults, which may arise directly
or Indirectly from such conflict. Persons
have begun to pack their valuables with a
view of immediate departure. Large guam
titles Of bandages have been prepared. I'm
protected women have received the promise
of protection from The japanese representa-
tive from harm. ItumOrs of the intending
landing of your forces for offensive pur-
poses have aGitated The community for
many days The situation for weeks has
been one Of war without the incident of
actual combat. Even the eX-queen has
called upon the government for protection,
which was awarded her
"Owing to your attitude, the government
has been compelled by public apprehension
