prnnerty confiscated To the government.
l then said, repeating very distinct
iy her words: 1T is your feeling
that these people should be beneadeu
and their property contiscated?"
She replied: lit is"
then said to her: do you fully un
derStand the meaning of every word
which L have said to you and of every
word which you have said to me. and il
so, do you still have the same opinion?"
Her reply was: Il have understood
and mean all | have said, but | might
leave the decision of this to my min
listers"
To this | replied: Suppose it was
necessary to make decision before you
appointed any ministers, and that you
were asked TO issue
ROYAL PROCLAMATION
OF general amnesty. would you do it?"
She answered: Il have no legal right
to do that and would not do it,"
Pausing a moment, she continued
"IheSe people were the cause-of the
revolution and constitution of 1887.
There will never be any peace while
they are here. They must be sent out
or the country or punished and their
property cOnhScated."
L then said: IL have no further COM
municatlOn to make to you now and
will have none until | hear from my
government. which will probably be in
three or four weeks"
Nothing was said for several min
utes, when asked her whether she
was willing TO give me the names of
four of her most trusted friends. as
might within day or two consider 1t
my duty to hold consultation with
them in her presence. She aSSented
and gave me these names: j. O.Carter,
Jonn Richardson, Joseph Nawaihai and
E. c. MacFarlan.
then inquired whether she had any
fears of her safety at her present resi-
dence, washington Square" She re-
piled that she did have some fears, that,
while she had trusty friends that guard
ed her house every night, they were
armed only with clubs, and that men

Informed her that l was authorized by
the president to offer her protection
either on one of
OUR WAR SHIPS
or at the legation, and desire her to &C.
cept tie offer at once. She declined,
saying she believed it was best for her,
at present, to remain at her own resi-
dence. l then said to her that at any
moment. night or day. this offer of our
government was open to her accept
ance.
The interview thereupon, after some
personal remarks, was brought to a
close.
Upon reflection l concluded not to
mold any consultation at present with
the queens friends. as they have no
official position, and furthermore, be-
cause L feared if known to so many, her
declarations might become public TO her
great detriment, if not danger, and to
the interruption of the plans of our
government. }. 0. Carter is a brother
OF II. \. p. Carter, the former Hawaiian
minister to the United States, and is
conceded to be man of high character,
Integrity and intelligence. He is about
hfty-tive years oil. He has had no
public experience. Mr.. MacFarlan, like
MIR. Carter, is of white parentage, is an
unmarried man, about fortytwo years
old, and is engaged in the commission
business.
John Richardson is young man of
about thirty-tive years OF age. He Is a
cousin of Samuel Parker, the half-caste,
who was member of the queens cab
met at the time of
TUE LAST REVOLUTION.
He is a resident of Maui, being desig-
mated in the directory of 1889 as ''at-
torney at law, stock raiser and propre-
tor Bismarck livery stable" Ricnard-
son is "half-caste." Joseph Nawaihi is
full blooded native, practices law, as
he told me, in the native courts, and
has moderate English education. He
has served twenty years i'll the legislat-
ure, but displays very little knowledge
of the structure and philosophy of the
government which he so long repre-
scented. He is fifty-one years old. and
Is president of the native Hawaiian
political club.
the most prominent native leaders. he
gave the names of John E. Bush, r.. w .
Wilcox, and modestly added. Il am a
leader" John E. Bush is man of con-
siderable ability. but his reputation is
very bad. r. w. Wilcox is the noto-
riouS haif.breed who engineered the
revolution of 1889. OF all these men,
Garter and MacFarlan are the only two
to whom the ministerial bureaus could
be safely entrusted. In a conversation
with Sam Parker. and also with Joseph
Nawaihi, 1t was plainly evident that the
queens implied condemnation of the
constitution of 1887 was fully endorsed
by them.
From these and other facts which
have been developed, | am satisfied that
there will be concerted movement, in
the
EVENT OF RESTORATION,
for the overthrow Of that constitution,
which would mean the overthrow of
constitutional and limited government
and the absolute domination of the
queen.
The law referred to by the queen is
chapter 6, section 9, of the penal code, as
follows:
"Whoever shall commit the crime of
treason shall suffer the punishme Mt OF
death; and all his property shall be
confiscated to the government"
There are under this law no degrees
of treason. Plotting alone carries with
it the death sentence.
| need hardly add in conclusion, that
the tension of feeling is so great that
the prOmptest action is necessary to
prevent disastrous consequences.
L send cipher telegram asking that
MIR. Blounts report be withheld for the
present, and l send with it a telegram
not in cipher, as follows:

as to require further Instructions. |

The other correspondence sent to
congress consists OF dispatches from
Minister Willis, which for the most
part are reports of events in Honolulu
of which the public has already been
fully Informed by the Associated Press
dispatches. Under date of Dec. 5 he
says:
'Guns and pistols have been placed
in the hands of all who are willing to
take them, whether Americans, for.
eigners or natives, and herein lies one
of the
GREATEST DANGERS.
"Many OF those who have received
these new weapons, like children with
a new toy, are eager to use them, lack
ing intelligence and self-restraint and
having no property interests at stake
