Would Appeal to United States
Government if Arrested.
DOESN'T LIKE THE REPUBLIC.
Is To All Intents and Purposes an
American Cltizsn-A Native OF
New YOrk-Law In His Case.
Visit OF ID. q. CamarInos.

Among the passengers who sailed on
the steamer Australia for Honolulu
yesterday morning were w. III. Corn
wall, the well known royalist OF
Hawaii, and ID. O.. CamarinOs OF this
city, says the S. #. Call of April Sd.
Mr.. Cornwall may by this time be
said to be a San franciscan, and to all
intents and purposes an American cit
izen, he having made his domicile in
the United States previous TO the es-
tablishment OF the Republic in Ha-
wall. Besides, he is IA native of New
York State and is decidedly American
in his ways, views and ideas.
But Mr.. Cornwall was once Minister
of Finance under the monarchy, and
ever since the overthrow OF Queen
Liliuokalani he has openly asserted
that any sort Of government, limited
or unlimited monarchy, would be bet
ter for Hawaii than the present
oligarchy presided over by Sanford B.
Dole.
Therefore the present Government
of Hawaii loves not Mr.. Cornwall, and
for the lack of this love Mr.. Dole and
his colleagues some time ago set up an
accusation against Mr.. Cornwall,
charging him with having aided in
sending firearms to Hawaii prior to
the attempted lnsurrection of January
9th.
SIT is impossible for me to longer
remain away from my business
affairs" said Mr.. Cornwall before he
went on board the Australia. 81 shall
ofy fn Iand O N m A n, ofAf
zen in Honolulu II rho proSOnt Gov
ernment opposes my landing or places
me under arrest i shall appeal to the
United States Government for protec-
tion. have never sworn allegiance
to the Hawaiian Republic"
The law in Mr.. Cornwell's case,
when digested, amounts to this:
Whether he did or did not make
oath of allegiance to the monarchy of
Hawaii makes no difference, what
ever. The Office he held and the emo
luments thereto attached made him
citizen of Hawaii in fact. But he
came to the United States, the land of
his birth, before the republic was
established or recognized by this Gov
eminent. The kingdom to which he
owed allegiance was no more. He
established his dOmicile in the United
States. He did not make oath of alle-
glance to the republic. Under such
circumstances international law Gays
that person may elect allegiance to
any Government he may choose.
Inasmuch as he has established or
re-established, his dOmicile in the
United States, Mr.. Cornwell is enti-
tied to protection under the American
flag. The republic of Hawaii, to
which he has never sworn allegiance,
has no claim on him for the purpose
of visiting the penalties of treason on
his person or property.
d. Ct. Camarinos is not an exile
from Hawaii, but he is now an exile
from the "Sparta," corner of Sansome
and Washington streets. He has not
sailed to Honolulu for his health, but
for his brother, Peter @. CamarinOs,
who recently arrived here as re-
fugee.
"pm not going to Hawaii to fight
or filibuster," said Mr.. Camarinos just
before he sailed, "but to look out for
my brothers extensive business inter-
ests, his fruit orchards, his pineapple
crop and his store"
