Jail \ few clizcns, who happened to
be out late, noticed the suspicious ac-
tons Of the mob, but were poWerless to
thwart the purpose of such determined
band of armed men, and watched the
proceedings from a safe distance. No of
ticers were around or even aware OF what
was going on until early this morning,
so quiet were the actions of the mob.
Orders We're given by signs and obeyeh
without word being spoken. The Jail
is a small wooden building surrounded
by an eight foot board fence. In the
Jail were two steel cells in which the
prisoners were confined. Guards We're
placed about the Jail and it was but the
work Of Il moment for the balance of the
mob to gain an entrance to the Jail build
ing. About this time Burton gave a few
loud yells and asked what they wanted
with him The masked mob began to
break off the locks of the Jail with sledge
hammers. Burton was the first one
taken out and proceeded to the spot
selected for the lynching and left under
guard. the balance Of the party return

watching the jail. The two Guys were
then taken and marched to the bridge
where Burton had been left Ropes were

off the bridge. The Guys evidently died
from strangulation. but the moose on

The Governments Reply.

The reply of the provisional govern
ment was drafted by President Dole and
contains between 500 and 600 words.
1t is an able document, and states the
case of Hawaii in no pleading form.
One of the strong points of the reply is
that the ex-queen's point of amnesty is
not touched upon. The president and
government being prepared for resistance,
are of the opinion that side issues cannot
be justly raised by either Mr.. Cleveland
or the monarchy.
Mr. Thurston, Hawaiian minister,
leaves here tomorrow via the steamer
Pekin for Washington. He will take
with him a copy of the governments re-
ply to Mr.. Willis, which up to the pres
ent hour has been refused to the press.
In conversation with President Dole it
is learned this refusal has been diplo-
matte point not to publish the answer
before it has been placed in the hands Of
President Cleveland. l have been as
suerd, however, that should the president
of the United States delay the delivery
Of this document, it will at once be made
public on the arrival Of Minister Thurs
ton by the steamer pekin, due to leave
here tomorrow.
The news received here to date has
received various comment. Royll!Sts
still assert they believe restoration VI
be accomplished by Cleveland, and ths
annexationsts are confidently declaring
no restoration shall take place. The
situation has. in fact. settled into one Of
glarng defiance. in which the royalists
themselves admit they would have no
show unless aided by the forces of the
United States. The proposition for the
establishment Of a republic here, said to
have been brought down by Minister
Thurston and Mr.. II. n. Castle of the
Advertiser. is absolutely denied by both
these gentlemen.
To the Associated Press Mr. Thurs
ton said: ''Snch an idea never entered
our heads Why should it? We arc
now an established government, we have
been recognized by both the Unit i
States and Russia, and to establish a
republic would be but to renounce he
