HER EXILE Is PROBABLE.

What Authorities at Washington
Think of Li.'s arrest.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The latest de-
velopments in Hawaii, as contained i'll
the Associated Press Auckland dis
patches, were agreeable news to Mr..
Thurston, the minister Of that country
at this capital. Concerning the eX-
vueen, the minister said the latest in
formation he had concerning her was
that she had gone out TO the residence
of Nowlin (or Nolan), one of the leaders
of the revolution. His residence was
located on Pearl river, about fifteen
miles from the city of Honolulu.
Now that the queen has been ar
rested for completely in The rebellion,
what will the authorities do with her?
Will she be baniShed from the coun-
try?" asked the reporter.
That is matter do not care to dis
cuss," answered the minister. That
Ill connection with the possible effect
of her continued residence in the ISL
ands will be dealt with by those who
have the affairs of the nation entrusted
to their care. Nor can | talk about the
possible disposition of the cases of Will
cox and other leaders OF the rebellion"
The minister expects fresh adviceS OF
affairs at Honolulu on the arrival of the
Australia, due III San Fran cisco in four
or five days.
The news OF the arrest of the eX-
queen was received with surprise at the
state department., and although the off,
Gals declined to discuss the matter i'll
anv respect, it was plainly to be seen
that they had not expected that she
would be connected with the revolu-
tionary attempt 50 badly conceived and
executed, aud promising so little in re-
suits. AS it is, they fear that she is
| likely to forfeit whatever property re-
mains in her possession to the republic,
| and in addition probably will be eXiled
| III order 10 eliminate her entirely as a
| political factor. There have not as yet
been any suggestions that the United
| States government should interfere i'll
behalf Of the eX-queen, who is now,
l after the full and formal recognition of
| the republic, nothing more than an i'll
| divdual citizen Of Hawaii. Ii any
| American citizens are among the per-
| SONS arrested and tried for completely
| in the rebellion, then undoubtedly Mr..
| Willis, our minister will see to it that
| they secure full opportunity to prove
| their innocence if they can do so. Not
withstandlng the ominouS significance
| conveyed by the fact that the trials
were to be by court martial, it it not be-
lieved here that very severe punishment
| will he melted out 10 the persons cons
| victed, except perhaps III the cases of
actual Hawaiians. for it is hardly TO be
conceived that the British and other
| foreign ministers at Honolulu could con-
template with eQuanimity the execution
Of their fellow subjects by process of
court martial.
1t is thought that the United States
steamship Philadelphia is now at Hon
| olulu, as she was due there last Monday.
Tie news of the arrest of the eX
| Queen Liliuokalani and others supposed
To be concerned in the attempted Ha-
| waian revolution, which was furnished
exclusively through the means of an
! Associated Press Auckland cable, Gre
J ated considerable surprise among SEN
| atorS. The sentiments expressed gen.
orally showed very little sympathy for
| the queen. while some indicated indif-
ference to her fate.
She is plain Mrs Dominis," and not
! QUEEN" SAID Senator Plat, land must
stand upon the same footing as other
residents of Hawaii"
Senator Frye expressed the same
sentiments. Senator Lodge hoped that
none Of the conspiratorS would be shot,
and Senator Mills thought 1t probable
that some of them were likely 10 be.
Senator Butler remarked that the fact
that the rebellion had been put down so
soon Indicated that the present govern
ment was amply able to take care Of
! itself.
