That the Others Under Arrest

KNEW THE LEADERS OF THE REVOLT.

cit is my opinion, if the ex-Queen
of the Hawaiian Islands is to be deported,
said w. H. Cornwell, late Minister of
Finance of the defunct royal Hawaiian
Government, at his hotel yesterday, 'that
she will not be deported to the United
States. If she is deported at all by the ex-
listing Government, she will be sent to the
Tahiti Island. have reasons for believing
that such a course will be pursued.
GAS to those who are said to be under
arrest for having taken part in the recent
uprising, I know them all and am sure
that, with the exception of Captain Davis,
who landed some arms for the royal party,
not one. either physically or financially,
aided the ex-Queen. They were all in
favor of the deposed Queen and made no
secret of their sympathy for her, but be-
yond that they did not do anything"
AS to the possibility of any one being
beheaded, Mr. Cornwall said: "There is
one man who may lose his head and that
is Wilcox, for the part he took in the up
rising. He acted foolishly, and it is prob
able that the present Government will
make an example of him. But let me say
right here if the deposed Queen is de-
ported the natives, and know them well,
will rise, apply the torch and lay waste
much territory that is now prosperous.
They are loyal to the ex-Queen and will
do much to be revenged for any indignity
that may be placed upon her."
Mr.. Cornwen and Consul General Wilder
do not agree upon the reason for so many
of the natives refusing to register. Mr..
Wilder said that it was because they had
been put in fear by few royalists. Mr..
Cornwell said: 'Mr. Wilder is wrong on
that point; they were not threatened, nor
do they have any fear that they would be
beheaded if they registered. The reason
they did not enroll their names is that they
believed that an injustice had been done to
their Queen, and as she has proved loyal
to them, they remain loyal to her. When
she was deposed she was offered pension
of $4,000 year if she would abdicate, but
this was declined, because she would not
desert her people. Then Mr.. Wilder is
quoted as saying that dynamite and bombs
were found on the ex-Queen's premises.
Now I do not believe a word of that and
III tell you why. Some time ago l called
upon her and asked her if she had any
arms concealed in her house or around it.
She told me that she did not have any and
did not need any. The only arms / have
she said, ARE those in the case, which are
the collection of weapons which my late
husband secured as curiosities.
"Are the natives armed?"
1.-THE only arms they have are such as
they purchased from some of the Commit
tee of Safety organized by the Provisional
Government, and who preferred a few
dollars to the weapons which they did not
care to use.
81 may be told that ought not to return
to the islands," continued Mr.. Cornwell,
''but 1 shall return there by the next
steamer unless something very unusual
occurs between now and the date on
which she is to sail. As soon as 1 receive
my mail by the incoming steamer 1 will
probably know how to act, and until then
I cannot say definitely what 1 will do
Should the ex-Queen be on board the
steamer it may cause me to change my
present plans, but do not think she is on
