CIeveland's Work in Hawaii.
The warning uttered by Admiral WALKER
has been more than justified by the event.
The words of that honest and patriotic
officer were unheeded by the Administers
tion, because the overthrow Of the repubh-
can Government at Honolulu, which Ad-
miral WALKER sought to avert, was Just
what Messrs. CLEVELAND and GRESHAM de-
sired to witness. He said that the removal Of
m American war ship from Honolulu would
sooner or later be followed by the outbreak
OF a royalist conspiracy, and that, il the
rebels were even temporarily successful
Mrs. DoMINIs would be acknowledged by
the British Consul General as the rightful
ruler Of the Hawaiian Islands The predic-
tion was verified ON Jan. 9, when the par
tisans of LILIUoKALANI, having received
assurances that she would be recognized by
England's representative as sovereign, il
they could manage to occupy the palace at
Honolulu but three hours, organized con-
spiracy, which has resulted in the death Of
many persons, including tho distinguished
representative Of pro-American sympathies,
Mr.. CHARLES L. CARTER, formerly annexa-
Zionist Commissioner to the United States
The blood of the victims lies on the
moral incentive, and who alone made
It possible The people of this country
know where to fix the responsibility. They
will not regard Secretary HKRBERT as other
than an unwilling agent in the transaction,
whose shameful purpose is now thoroughly
exposed. An application of the familiar
maxim, cW prOdest, who would be the
gamer will convince all candid men that as
regards this bloody business in Hawaii,
Messrs. CLEVELAND and GRESHAM were ae-
cessories before the fact. Having committed
themselves to the assertion that the re-
publican Government at Honolulu had no
right to exist, and did not properly repre-
sent the Hawaiian people, they wished to
see the assertion verified by its downfall.
They began with overt aggression, having,
without the authority or knowledge of Con-
Rress, instructed Minister WILLIS to require
Mr.. DOLE, the recognized executive head of
a friendly power. to renounce his Office in
favor of Mrs. DoMISIs. Failing to attain
their end by direct menace, and having been
raped over the knuckles by Congress for a

they fell back on surreptitious Vaccinations
well calculated to further their intent. which
Remained unshaken by the unanimous
= febuke Of the American people. These
Vaccinations were Of two kinds. On the
one hand, Secretary GRESHAM undertook
TO provide the enemies of the Honolulu Gov
ernment with an opportunity by peremp-
tory order recalling the American war ships
stationed in Hawaiian waters On the other
hand, and simultaneously, to make sure
that the royalist conspirators would turn
CLEVELAND gave them conclusive proofs of
his persistent and ardent sympathy with
their designs. We should note carefully the
dates OF certain acts, for they arc elo-
quent. Last August, at the very time
when Admiral WALKER was protesting
against the removal of his ship from Homo
lulu, protest which simply provoked a
harsh repetition Of the order, Mr. CLEvE-
LAND was addressing in a letter the emissa-
ries OF Mrs DoMISIs as Commissioners"
was argtiing the justice of their cause, pro-
claiming himself convinced of it, and re-

had caused the miscarriage of "his plans
20 further it openly and directly.
by that extraordinary letter, in which
President OF the United States avowed that
the interests of = sanguinary half caste had
more influence upon his heart and conscience
than the fat of the American Congress and
people, it is obvious that he gave the Ha-
waiian conspirators the utmost moral sup
port and clandestine encouragement that he
could safely offer. No intelligent person can
read Mr.. CLEvELANp's letter to the "Com-
missloners" of Mrs. DONINIs and couple it
with the contemporaneous recall of Ad-
miral WALKER, without perceiving that the
Hawaiian conspirators were made dis
tinctly to understand that their fate lay
in their own hands, and that, il they
would use the occasion afforded to over
throw the Honolulu Government, Mr..
CLEVELAND on his part would not fail
promptly to recognize LILIUoKALANL. The
intention OF the British Consul General to
sanction by recognition even the temporary
success of royalst uprising, was suspected
and foretold by Admiral WALLER, and was
