What Authorities at Washington
Think Of Li!'s Arrest.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The latest de-
velopments i'll Hawaii, as contained in
the Associated Press Auckland dis
patches, were agreeable news to Mr..
Tnurston, the minister of that country
at this capital. Concerning the eX-
vueen, the minister said the latest in
formation he had concerning her was
that she had gone out to the residence
of Nowlin (or Nolan). one of the leaders
of the revolution. His residence was
located on Pearl river, about fifteen
miles from the city of Honolulu.
Now that the queen has been ar
rested for completely i'll The rebellion,
what will the authorities do with her?
Will she be bani5hed from the coun-
try?" asked the reporter.
That is a matter | do not care to dis
cuss," answered the minister. THAT
III connection with the possible effect
of her continued residence in the ISL
ands will be dealt with by those who
have the affairs Of the nation entrusted
to their care. Nor can l talk about the
possible disposition of tie cases of Will
cox and other leaders Of the rebellion"
The minister expects fresh adYiceS OF
affairs at Honolulu on the arrival Of the
Australia, due III San Fran cisco 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 Off
cials declined to discuss the matter in
any respect, 1t was plainly to be seen
that they had not expected that she
would be connected with the revolu-
tionary attempt SO badly conceived and
executed, aud promising so little Ill re-
suits. AS it Is, they fear that she is
likely to forfeit whatever property re-
| mains in her possession to the republic,
| and in addition probably will be eXileu
III order 10 eliminate her entirely as Il
political factor. There have not as yet
| been any suggestions that the United
! States government should interfere in
behalf OF the eX-queen, who is now,
after the full and formal recognition OF
! the republic, nothing more than an i'll
| diVdual citizen Of Hawaii. If any
| American citizens are among the per-
| SONS arrested and tried for completely
! in the rebellion, then undoubtedly MIR.
| Willis, our minister will see to it that
| they secure full opportunity to prove
| their innocence if they can do so. Not
| withstandlng the ominouS significance
| conveyed by the fact that the trials
| were TO be by court martial, it it not be-
! lieVed here that very severe punishment
| will be melted out 10 the persons con-
! victed, except perhaps III the cases of
| actual HawaiianS. for 1t is hardly TO be
| conceived that the British and other
foreign ministers at Honolulu could COLI
template with eQuanimity the execution
| Of their fellow subjects by process of
court martial.
1t is thought that the United States
| steamship Philadelphia is now at Hon
| olulu, as she was due there last Monday.
Tie news of the arrest of the eX-
| Queen Liliuokalani and others supposed
! To be concerned i'll the attempted Ha-
| waiian revolution, which was furnished
exclusively through the means of an
Associated Press Auckland cable, Gre
J ated considerable surprise among SEN
atorS. The sentiments expressed gen
orally showed very little sympathy for
| the queen. while some Indicated indif-
ference to her fate.
She is plain Mrs. Dominis," and not
aqueen," SAID Senator Plat, land must
stand upon the same footing as other
residents of Hawaii"
Senator Frye expressed the same
sentiments. Senator Lodge hoped that
none of the cOnSpiratorS woald be shot,
| ana Senator Mills thought 1t probable
that some Of them were likely 10 be.
Senator Butler remarked that the fact
i that the rebellion had been put down SO
| soon Indicated that the present govern
ment was amply able to take care of
! itself.
