iributad important testimony in the other

intimate Seward and his son-inslaw,
walker who was much broken in health
and finances, and who has been noted for
generous hospitality.
Cummins was one of LiliOukalan1s com
mission TO Washington last summer. He
confessed TO have assisted in the arrange
nents for the landing OF arms. Both
Davies and he pleaded guilty.
Tr7a-e Advocate Kinney thought the age
0f tho accused and his previous position

A letter was addressed a few days ago
% United States Minister Willis by y.
: Jones, a prominent American resident
81 Honolulu, saying that although nearly
al his income was derived from invest
nents II the island he was prepared 10
Gay his income tax as an American citi-
zen but first desired Information of Mr..
Willis as TO his standing and right to pro-
lection as such citizen.
Mr. Jones says he has served as minis
-er of state both under the monarchy and
he provisional government; that he has
aiken the oath to support the republic of
Hawaii; that during the recent insurrec-
lion he carried gun TO defend his house
and family, and those of others, against
mob violence. He now asks the United
States minister whether he continues or
not TO be entitled TO protection as an Amer
can citizen Notwithstanding the appar-
emily adverse published instruction sent to
Admiral Beardslee. He considers il wrong
hat he should lose his right to protection
FOR so defending himself. Minister Willis
has replied that he will submit the ques-
tion to the authorities at Washington.
A collision took place Oh Feb. between
United States Minister Willis and this
government The occasion was the deDor-
TaffOn the Warrfunnn fo
toria b. c, of man claiming to be an
American citizen named j. Cranston, TO-
gether with J. b. tombstone, an English
man, and A. L. Mueller a German. At
noon, the hour set for the departure Of
the steamer the three men were put into
A hack at the station house and driven TO
rho steamer and put aboard by force,
Cranston making desperate resistance
1t the gangway Their passages were
paid and $50 for each of the three was put
'nto the purser's hands 10 be paid them
on their arrival at Victoria.
On the way to the wharf tombstone
saw British Commissioner HAYES and
sang out for protection. Mr. HAYES adj
Vised him to accept the situation, In the
meantime Cranston had secured the pres
ence of United States Minister Willis and
Mueller that of the German consul, Mr..
Hac6field. The latter told Mueller that
his punishment was just and he should be
glad 1t was no worse.
Although Cranston was the worst of
the three, Minister Willis took "a different
view from his colleagues and informed
the ministers that he should enter for
NAL protest against the mans deporta-
ton without trial. The attorney general
assured him that the government had
thoroughly considered the subject and
We're fully satisfied of their right under
martial law thus to rid the country of its
enemies. Minister Willis then expressed
his sorrow that the ministers should per-
s5ist in their arbitrary and illegal course.
ana assuring them that they would hear
further from it. Much interest is ex-
pressed to know by what construction of
recent orders from Washington the minis
ter can thus extend protection to Ameri-
can citizens found taking an active part
against this government. The German
consul has since fled protest against
the deportation of Mueller. II is under
stood that he has done this as matter
Of form.
London. Feb. 15-In the House Of Com
mons to-day Sir Thomas Roe asked the
government, in accordance with previous
notice what information they had re-
ceived concerning the sentence of death
which had been passed upon W. H. Rick
ard, a British subject in Hawaii.
Sir Edward Grey said that Mr.. HaWes,
tho British commissioner at Honolulu,
had asked the Hawaiian government to
reprteve Richards for d sufficient length
of time to enable the commissioner to
send to the home government the records
of Richards trial The sentence imposed
upon Richard had not yet been confirmed
by. the President OF the Hawaiian repub-
lie, and instructions had been forwarded
by wire as far as possible to Commissioners
Halves to ask for d delay of the execution
OF the sentence BIr. Halves was also
instructed that if Richard had been con-
demnsd to death for completely only, or
for actual participation in the revolt
againSt--the Hawaiian government with
out having had fair and open trial with
ample opportunity for defense the evil
depce upon which his sentence was
grounded was to be sent to the home
government. Commissioner Halves, he
said, was also instructed to act in CON
cert with the representative of the United
States at Honolulu, who had received in
structions similar to those directed to his
