Showing that Treachery I'm Her
Cabinet Caused Her Overthrow.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2-The steam
ship Australia, which arrived this morning
from Honolulu, had on board thirteen pas
sengers who are exiles from the Hawaiian
Islands. They are all men who made them
selves obnoxious to the republic of Hawaii
through cornplcity in the recent revolt
The only prominent persons amonA them
are Charles Creighton and A. p. Meterson.
both of whom have filled the Office of Attor-
ney-general under the monorachy, and F..
Wundenburg, who was at first supporter
of the new government, and was given q
position in the postal department, and who
afterwards joined the royalst plotters.
The other plotters are: John Radin, hack
man; Fred Harrison, George Ritman. iron
molders; j. G. White, foundfyman; James
Brown, hackman; James Levy, auctioneer
NJ. c. Bailey, auctioneer; Capt. A. Nc
Dowell; Carriane, q Greek; Camarines, a
rancher and fruit dealer; Manuel Reis
hackman: Arthur. White, billiard hall keep
er, and John Radin. a wealthy Australian
The iron molders and the foundryman were
implicated in the manufacture OF bombs
found in the possession of the rebels. The
others are royalist sympathzers, who
talked too much. The exiles were taken
board the steamer at the last moment be-
fore she started. They are all suspects In
whose cases prosecution was withheld, and
who entered into an agreement not to re-
turn to the islands except on being granted
permission by the government The Aus
tralia also brought the news that the SEN
tences of the condemned traitors had been
commuted.
The Honolulu correspondent of the As
sociated Press, writing under date of Feb.
%, says while the government has easily
put down the revolt, it does not take the
most hopeful view of the situation. This
Is due, to some extent. to the excitement
of the moment. President Dole aid his
Cabinet are disposed to adopt a most
lenient policy toward those captured in arms
and those suspected of sympathy with them.
But they are urged by those who have
much at stake here and desire to remain,
to use severe measures in order to prevent
another revolt. The natives have shown no
fighting qualities. OF the 200 men called
out by Nowlen, the military leader of
the revolt, only about 125 responded. 1t
now appears that the revolt was planned
by white men-Gulicak, Seward and Rickard-
that the money for guns was furnished by
white men in San Francisco; that the ves-
sci that brought them was owned by white
men; that white men went out in steamer
and landed the guns, and that two half
whites were the chief commanders of the
insurrection. Nowlein, the commander-in-
chief says he was informed positively by
his white royalist friends that II he could
bring a force of natives into town the
citizens guard of 800 trained men would
not dare come out and the missionaries
would yield at once. He believed these
statements and acted on them only to dis
cover that the citizens guard instantly
turned out and some 800 more whites Joined
them.
SPoILSMEN WANT A CHANGE.
Even the absolute abdication of the ex-
Queen does not settle matters. The ma
tives are thriftless, and in the present
commercial depression are suffering to
some extent, as they have no earnings
laid out. They are told, and they be-
lieve. that change of government will
bring better times. The examination OF
witnesses under martial law discloses the
fact that there are many white men who
wish a change of government in order to
secure spoils. They are tired of missions

ical. There is a bonanza in the opium
and Chinese gambling business, and the
