SHOULD RECOGNIZE IT.
words To the People aud Re-
quest For Ciemency To Rebels

Twelve hours before she was ar
rested I.ilioukalani offered to re-
linquish absolutely all her political
pretentions and property claims in
Hawaii. Her agent was not direct
with his business. The message
was not delivered till the ex.Queen
was a prisoner All this was pub
lished in connection with the ac-
count of serving a warrant on the
woman.
Now Mrs. Dominis has made a
statement in writing. 1t was sent
to President Dole last evening.
The letter is lengthy and explicit.
She asks for clemency for herself
and consideration for Hawaiian
rebels. L,iliuokalani is more than
willing to place herself entirely in
the hands of the Government. Her
REIMBURSEMENT is complete.
Acknowledgement Smith says he
has nothing to do with this matter
at all. The Republic is not treating
with the woman. She has been
told that the Government has
nothing to say to her-not even a
suggestion to offer. Whatever is
submitted, comes from the eX-
queen on her own motion and vol
UNFAIRLY.
Mrs. Dominis is very nervous.
She feels that her power is COM
pletely shattered. Half a dozen
friends are advising her.
Following is the text of Liliuokalani's
statement:
