He found the city in perfect harmony
except for the military show of the pro-
yisioral Government, which had usurped
the rule Of the kingdom. Later on he
sent for the Queen, to converse with her

Satisfied that If Mr.. Willis had been a
rue advocate of the Democracy he rep
resented, and a man of honor, he would
bever have affiliated with the provisional
Government missionaries previous to his
conference with the Queen, for 1t is clear
10 US that they inspired him to follow
course calculated to injure the Queen
ind the cause of her people.
In his first conversation with the
queen he assumed the attitude of a
awe. commanding her to answer his
f~lestions as he put them to her, hardly
living her a chance to breathe, and GER
amy no opportunity for consideration.
But when he demanded the surrender

y within a certain time. Had the
queen been as generously treated. she
