where.
Morrow admitted last night, when he
was forced into corner and told that
the game was up, that he had been en-
gaging men to go to Hawaii and over

SPRECKELS FOR BACKER.
He had told before to a reporter how
| the thing was to be done, and had
stated plainly who the men were be-
| hind the scenes. Among them he emu
merated one of the eXiled Ashfords, and
he declared that Rudolph Spreckels was
| the man with money who was backing
| the project.
Spreckels, he said, had already con-
| cealed a large number of rifles in the
| island of Maui, so that they would be
ready when the filibusterers reached
| the islands.
The first local intimaton of the ex-
petition appeared in an advertisement

which led to the discovery of the fill

1t was EASY to see what this meant.
The 9O00& people referred to comprise
the royalst and native population of
the Hawaiian Islands. The 5000 are the
people who are loyal to the Dole repub-
lie. The reporter then arranged an in
