caoed TO the State Department, and Ma,
pe MADE the Subject OF "a Demand for Re-
aress from the New Republic.
WASHINGTON, Feb 12.-The renort.
ed exile of Americans from Hawaii
without trial, If substantiated, prom.
lses to bring matters between the nd.
minlstratlon and the new republic to
an acute stage. The United Press dis.
patches giving a statement to Gran.
stouns Punishment was corroborated
olilclally at the state department bv
.he receipt OF the following telegram
from W. r. Peterson, United States
consul at Vancouver, dated the 10th:
"brltlsh steamship Warrimoo ar
rived, having on board j. Cranstoup.
destitute citizen of the United States.
banlshed from Honolulu without
trial"
1t is understood at the state depart.
ment that Cranstoun has been
given an asylum at the consulate
nntl this government takes nm
the case. Although no official
statement as to Secretary Gresham's
action can yet be obtained, there are
reasons to believe that prompt redress
Will be demanded under Article s of
the treaty between the United States
and the Hawaiian islands, entered into
IN 1894 and still in force, which pre-
vents summary action similar to that
in Cranstoun's case.
No dispatch has been received from
Minister Willis regarding the affair
but officials have no doubt that he
communicated by the Warrimoo, and
that letters will be received from him
within the next five days which were
brought by that steamer He NAV
also have written Consul Peterson to |
telegraph the state department. in
which case it may be received in Wash !
