with the royalst party. Among these
were several cltizens Of the United
States, who were either convicted by
military court and sentenced to
death. Imprisonment or fine or were
deported without trial. The United
States, while denying protection to
suoh as had taken the Hawaiian oath
Of allegiance, insisted That martial law,
though altering the forms of justice,
could not supercede justice Itself al
demanded stay of execution until the
proceedings had been submitted to this
government and knowledge obtained
herefrom that our citizens had re-
cedved fair trial. The death sentences
were subsequently commmuted or
were remltted on condition of leaving
the Islands. The cases of certain
Americans arrested and expelled by
arbitrary order without formal charge
or trial have had attention and In
some Instances have been found to
Justify remonstrance and claim for in
demndty which Hawaii has not thus
far conceded.

shores to merge themselves in our body
polite and win personal competence by
honest efforts, we can not regard such
assemblages of distinctlvely alien la

profit of alien spectators and shipped

prosperity and progress Of our nation.
THE MEXICAN BOUNDARY.
The commission appointed under the
convention of February IS, 1889, to set
new monuments along the boundary
between the United States and Mexico
has completed Its task.

Of these helpless and suffering people
starving and smitten with contagious
disease-made their way, or were as
wretched plight, they were quaran

that time, by the voluntary act of tbs
Mosquito Nation, the territory re
served to them has been incorporated
with Nicaragua, the Indians formally
subjecting themselves to be governed
by the general laws and regulations o
