Join II. THURSTON.

"Do YOU think the revolution would
have amounted to anything If the plans OF
the rebels had not been prematurely dis
Coyered?" was asked.
NO" said Mr.. Thurston, slowly and
calmly. at is an ill-conceived piece of
folly. with no possibility of success against
the government"
what DO you think, Mr. Thurston, of
the chances Of this revolution being
Followed by Subsequent Outbreaks"
IL think the government will take such
measures and will teach such lesson
that there will be little danger of repeti-
ton of this affair, unless they (the rebels)
receive further encouragement from
abroad"
"Thc present revolution you consider
Independently at an end?"
Eyes, yes. manfestly So"
"Arc there any men of any note among
the revolutionists?"
absolutely none. Wilcox Is a man
who was u violent anneXationist, who was
an applicant for Office under the present
governments, and when he did not get 1T
he turned royalist. He is absolutely ire
sponsible. Nowlin is n saloon keeper
Fitzgerald Is Il horse jockey, and was Car
ter's groom some little time ago. What
the government will do with the rovolu-
tionists ! do not know. We have laws
against treason, and we have the death
penalty
"What is your opinion of the effect on
ghe republic of this movement
Undoubtedly ono of the immediate
effects will be to stamp out and prevent
further action of this character and to
strengthen the government"
"Will it have any influence on the treat
ment or Hawaii by the United States and
any influence on the
Action OF This Government?"
'"That," responded the minister, dis Il
question which !, as representing the lia-
waiian government, had no right to dis
ouss.'
"What as TO the sending of an Ameri-
can ship to HawaiiY"
"Tho question of the protection of
American interests and American citizens
is one for the American government to do
eide So far rs the Hawaiian government
is concerned it is able to protect itself
without any foreign aid. l will says that
the presence of American men-of-war I'M
ouestionably exercises II strong moral in
the island and such effect has always been
recognized by every one acquainted with
the situation.
Now" said the reporter, that leads
IN. Mr.. Thurston, to the inquiry whether
this was un uprising of the disorderly Gle
ment or popular native uprising.
Minister Thurston answered: "There
are only very few names mentioned, and
,Af
have said. of a man OF responsibility OF
standing"
In closing the interview, the minister
said that he had not yet received any new
of the affair from his government.
