ARREST OF THE QUEEN.
LILIU0KALANI WILL PR0BABL Y
BE EXILED.
Receipt OF tho News In Washtngton
and London Caused
Surprise.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The latest de-
velopments in Hawaii was agreeable
news to Minister Thurston. He said the
latest information he had seen concsrn-
ing the ex-queen was that she had gone
to the residence of Nowlin or Nolan, one
OF the leaders of the revolution, on Pearl
river, about 10 miles from Honolulu.
"Now that the queen has been arrest
ed for completely in the rebellion, will
she be bsnished?" asked the reporter.
THAT is q matter 1 do not care to
discuss"
The minister expects fresh advioes on
the arrival of the Australia due in San
Francisco in four or five days.
News OF the arrest of the ex.queen
was received with surprise at tho state
department, and although the officials
declined to discuss the matter in any
respect, il was plsinly seen they had
not expected she would be connected
with revolutionary attempt 80 badly
conceived and executed and promising
so little. They fear she ia likely to for
felt whatever property remains in her
possession to the republic, and in addi-
ton will probably be exilod to elimin-
ate her entirely as a political factor.
There has not yet been any suggestion
of the United States government TO in
terfere in behalf of the ex.oueen, who ia
now, after full and formal recognition of
the republic, nothing more than an
individual and citizen of the republic.
II any American citizens are among
the persons arrested and tried for com
plicity in the rebellion, and undoubt-
eddy there are, our minister will see that
they secure full opportunity to prove
their innocence. Notwithstanding the
ominous significance conveyed by the
fact that the trials were to be by courts
martial, it ia not believed here that very
severe punishment will be melted out to
the persons convicted, except, perhaps,
in cases of actual Hawaiisns.
LONDON. Feb. News of the arrest
of ex.Queen Liliuokslsni published this
afternoon, created q sensation. The
facts were telsgraphed to Queen Victoria
at Osborne, and Theopolis Davis. guar
dian OF Princess Ksiulani of Hawaii,
heir preeumptive to the throne. Davis
ia also agent in Englsnd of the ex-
queen. Davis, it appears, had also re-
ceived a telegram via Auckland an
nouncing the arrest OF the ex-Queen.
1t is expected the Queens friends
here and elsewhere will make diplomatic
approximations to Great Britain and the
United States in order 70 secure her re-
lease. The Hawaiian consul in this
city has received no news regarding the
resolution adopted by the United States
house of representatives asking Presi-
dent Cleveland to submit to congress
any correspondence in the possession of
the state department regarding the re-
ports that British subjects melted the
Hawaiians to rebellion and supplied
them with arms and that the British
minister interviewed to prevent the
application of martial law ON British
subjects engaged in the rebellion. In
THE connection the Associated Press is
officially informed that there has been
correspondence between the British an
American consuls on charge that the
British subjects melted the Hawaiian
revolt, The fact is. it is added, as has
already been stated in the house OF
represen tatives at Washington, Presi-
dent Cleveland is satisfied that the
action taken by the British residents
in Honolulu in this matter was quite
justified under the circumstances.
Nothing is known here regarding the
charges made against British residents
OF Honolulu, and it is said if they did
supply arms it would be for the Hawai-
ian authorities to stop it.
