of Prince David, the ex-Queen's nephew.
There was a slight pause in the hall and
some talking among Cabinet and other
officials, but nothing was said to the
prisoner, who, beyond shedding a few
tears, manifested no emotion.
In the city the news of the arrest was
hardly credited for time, but after it be-
came established there was general feel
ing of relief among the supporters of the
Government and of CONSERVATION in the
royalist ranks. There was no talk of any
attempt to release the prisoners, and any
such would have been futile, as the execu-
tive building is too well guarded. 1t is
not known if Liliuokalani will be placed
on trial for treason or conspiracy or
whether her arrest was merely pre-
cautionarv measure. That she will be de-
ported eventually there is very little
doubt.
There was great excitement at the
various headquarters about 10 P. NJ of the
day of the arrest when it became known
that wagon-load of arms and ammuni-
ton had been unearthed at Washington
place. the ex-Queen's late residence. The
general public knew nothing OF it until the
next morning, as all Honolulu retires early
during the continuance of martial law.
Acting upon information furnished by
Charles Clark, the husband of the Queen s
companion, who has been hanger-on at
Washington place for some time, but is
now under arrest for conspiracy, Deputy
Marshal Brown and Captain Parker
searched the cellar under the house and

nouncement that you no longer considered
yourself bound by the fundamental law of the
land under which you took Office, and by your
acts in attempting by the mere exercise of your
own will to establish a new system of govern
ment, the contract existing between you and
the people was dissolved, and all sovereign
rights Heretofore vested in you were lost. The
statement by members of your then Cabinet
that they could not control your proposed ac-
tion and their appeal to citizens of Honolulu
was the next step which led to a resumption
by the people of the rights of government.
Third-So far as your communication may be
taken as notice to the disaffected that it is
your desire that the republic shall be recog-
niZed by them as the sole and lawful Govern
ment of the country it is fully appreciated. In
this connection your unselfish appeal for clem-
ency for those who took part in the late insur-
rection will receive full consideration.
WILLIAM o. SMITH, Attorney-General.
To Mrs. Liliuokalani Dominis.
The arrest of Liliuokalani was made on
Wednesday, January 16. The arrest was
made very quietly at 10 o'clock in the
morning by Deputy Marshal Brown and
Captain of Police Parker. The order of
arrest was to deliver her forthwith to
Lieutenant-Co Fisher, commanding
the military at the executive building.
The arresting officers found the ex-Queen
alone, although there were number of
native guards about the residence. These
offered no resistance, however. When the
order of arrest was read to her, Liliuokalani
merely said, "All right, will co." and re-
ouested time to dress, which she did in a
few minutes. She was accompanied by
Mrs. Charles Clark, her lady waiting for
some time past The latter carried small
hand-satchel. The ex-Queen was dressed
entirely in black.
The royal prisoner was placed in hack
by the officers and rapidly driven to the
executive building, where she was taken
to the upper story, where two rooms had
been rapidly prepared for her use. These
have lately been used as the Auditor
Generals office, but in the days of the
monarchy were the private apartments

solve all persons Whomsoever, whether in the
Hawaiian Islands or elsewhere, from all and
every manner of allegiance or official obliga-
ton or duty, to me and my heirs and success
Sors forever and hereby declare 10 all such
persons in the Hawaiian Islands that con-
slider them as bound in duty and honor hence
forth to support and sustain the Government
OF the republic OF Hawaii.
Second-For myself, my heirs and successors,
do hereby and without any mental reserya-
ton OF modification, and fully, finally and un-
equivocany, irreyocably and forever abdicate,
renounce and release unto the Government of
the republic of Hawaii and its legitimate sue
cessorS forever, all claims or pretensions what
soever to the late throne of Hawaii, or to the
late monarchy of Hawaii, or TO any past, or to
the existing, or to any future government of
Hawaii, or under or by reason of any present or
formerly existing constitution, statute, law,
position, right or claim of any and every kind,
name or nature whatsoever, and whether the
same consist of pecuniary or property consid-
erations, or of personal status, hereby forever
renouncing, disowning and disclaiming all
rights, claims, demands, privileges, honors,
emoluments, titles and prerogatives whatso-
ever, under or By virtue of any former, or ex-
isting government, constitution, statute, law
or custom OF the Hawaiian Islands whatsoever,
save and excepting only such rights and privi-
leges as belong TO me in common with all priv
ate citizens Of or residents in the republic of
Hawaii
Third do hereby respectfully implore for
such misguided Hawaiians and others as have
been concerned in the late rebellion against the
republic Of Hawaii such degree o. executive
clemency as the Government may deem to be
consistent with its duty to the community and
such as due regard for its violated laws may
permit.
Fourth-It is my sincere desire henceforth to
live in absolute privacy and retirement from
all publicity or even appearance of being con-
cerned in the public affairs of the Hawaiian
Islands, further than to express, as 1 now do

and from trustworthy sources it is learned
that he has made objections, both written
and verbal to the powers of the military
court now sitting. He seems to take the
same views as Paul Neumann, counsel for
the prisoners, that offenses committed
previous to the date on which martial law
was proclaimed should be tried before a
civil court and jury. The text of his objec-
ton cannot be obtained at this time, but it
is understood to be of nature to cause
the Government more uneasiness than
anything that has taken place since the
beginning of the rebellion.
1t is understood that Willis has inter
ested himself in the cases of Louis Marshall
and Thomas Walker, both of whom have
claimed the protection of the United
States. Marshall is charged with open
rebellion. Walker pleaded guilty to
treason. Admiral Beardslee is a stranger
here. But little is known of his stand in
regard to this Government. In close Gov
ernment circles it is feared that he might
cooperate with Willis and land forces to
prevent the finding of the court, when it
refers to American prisoners, from being
carried out.
Minister Willis was seen this morning,
but he declined to make any statement for
publication. He would not deny or affirm
the fact that he has objected to the juris-
diction of the court.
President Dole was seen previous to the
departure of the steamer. He stated that
he was not aware that any written objec-
ton had been received from the American
Mi,,ic{ar 10 oIy iftaH hot IN ho
of a conversation Willis implied that he
would object. British Commissioner
Hawes has not given the Government any
trouble. He has pursued a policy of
moderation since the trouble began,
chiefly, SO it is stated, because he is in
doubt regarding the legality of the claims
of many Englishmen, who forswore their
allegiance some years ago when they be-
came citizens of the country under the
monarchy.

From the present indications it looks as
though the Supreme Court will pass on the
constitutionality of the Military Court.
This cannot be done until martial law is
rescinded, as writs of habeas corpus can
not be sworn out while it is in force.
