telegraphed to Queen Victoria, who is at
Osborne, and to Theophilus Davis at
Liverpool. Mr.. Da1 IS is the guardian of
Princess Kaiulani of Hawaii, heiress pre-,
sumptive to the throne. He is also the

ceived a telegram via Auckland, n. H.,
announcing the arrest of the eX-Queen

here and elsewhere will make diplomatic
representation to Great Britain and the
United States in order to secure her re-
lease.

received no news in regard to the resolu,
ton adopted by the United States House

Cleveland to submit to Congress any cor,
respondence in possession of the state
department regarding the reports alleging
that British subjects melted the Ha>
waiians to rebellion and supplied them
with arms, and that the British minister

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2.-The latest
developments in Hawaii, as contained in
the Associated press Auckland dispatch,
was agreeable news to Mr. Thurston, the
minister. of that country at this capital
Concerning the ex-Queen, the minister
said the latest inform tinn bn ho6
concerning her was that she had gone
out to the residence of Nowlin Tor Nolan),
one of the leaders of the revolution His
residence was located on Pearl river,
about fifteen miles from the city of Homo
lulu.
Nov that the Queen has been arrest
ed for completely in the rebellion, what
will the authorities do with her? Will
she be banished from the country" asked
the reporter.
THAT is a matter l do not care to dis
cuss," answered the minister 'That, in
continued residence in the islands, is
a question that will be dealt with by
those who have the affairs of the nation
entrusted to their care. Nor can I talk
about the possible disposition of the cases
of Wilcox and other leaders of the re-
bellion."
The minister expects fresh advices of
dudlTS dJ HOuOIulu Ou Lie arrival Oh the
Australia, due in San Francisco in four
or five days.
The news Of the arrest of the ex-Queen
was received with surprise at the state
department and although the officials
declined to discuss the matter in any as
pect it was plainly to be seen that they
had not expected that she would be con
nected with revolutionary attempt so
badly conceived and executed and promis-
ing so little in results. AS it is they fear
that she is likely to forfeit whatever
property remains in her possession and
in addition probably will be exiled in
order to remove her as political factor.
There has not as yet been any suggestion
that the United States government should
interfere in behalf of the ex-Queen, who
is now, after the full and formal recogni-
ton of the republic, nothing more than
an individual and a citizen of Hawaii
