throne as a mere figure head, the head
OF the revolutionary party to be III con-
troll of affairs.
Rudolph Spreckles has planted 1000
stands of arms to be used by the revo-
lu-iOnists on the island of Maui, con-
tinued Morrow. The Spreckels have
litcle use for the provisional govern
meut. They would furnish arms 10
the natives. except that the nNlves
could not use them, and to this fact l
attribute the failure of the last up
rising.
I'm the party that is to leave from
here is three or four men who are ac-
quainted with every inch OF the Island.
Among them are NOlney b. Ashford,
the head of the present affair in name
I say i'm name because Ashford is partly
to blame for the last affair.
In regard to the makeup of the
party there are about two hundred men,
NEARLY ALL COWBOYS
from New Mexico, Arizona and Texas
and most of them are here scattered
around"
Morrow said that the natives and peO-
pie I'm the islands would welcome the
revolutionary party, as he expressed it,
would consider it like getting out Of
hell into heaven, TO have the govern
ment q monarchy again.

Mr.. Morrow Next Will be the police
station, where there are only about
twenty men. whose arms and ammuni-
ton are on the upper floors. while the
men are down below Next will be
THE PALACE.
where the gatling guns are stationed on
a piazza We also depend on our spies
70 cripple couple of the gat-
ing guns. Next we shall take the gov
ernment building, which is guarded by
only twelve men. After capturing
these points we will leave men TO guard
them. We think that we ought to cap
-ure the city within half an hour, as tho
points are so weakly guarded At the
Palace our men could lie behind the
fence that surrounds the grounds and
pick of the gunners from place of
safety, and as soon as their ammunition
had been exhausted the fevolutiOnists
could rush in and capture the guns ans
gunners."
Hawaiian Consul Wilder, when told
Of the plot said he had expected
TROUBLE Or SOME KIND
very soon.
Morrow was seen to-day by a detective
and closely questioned He admitted
that he was hiring men for a filibuster-
ing expedition, and said that he received
$3.50 a month and expenses for his
work.
He claims 70 have sent a number of
men to the rendezvous at Portland. but
this is not believed 1t is thought the
intention of the adventurers was to sail
from San Francisco or some nearby
port in a vessel chartered for the occa-
sion. The san Francisco police at first
thought Morrow was rrfnning a swind-
Ing employment agency. but investiga-
ton leads them to believe that a con-
SpTacy or the nature outlined actually
exists. In spite Of the exposure today
Morrow was very cool and said the Fed
eral authorities had no terrors for him.
He had not committed any overt act
and they did nothing except watch him.
Morrow visited the Chronicle office
tonight and admitted that the filibus-
tering story, as published. wasl
PRACTICALLY CORRECT.
He refused to tell who was backing
him and denied the assertion accredited
to him that Rudolph Spreckles is in
terested.
1t is known. however. that Morrow.
before the exposure of his plans. was in
constant communication with a band of
Hawaiian eXiles. who make their head
quarters at a hotel in this city. 1t is
probable that he was acting as an agent
for them. Although the plot is spoiled
for the time being, Morrow is still loyal
TO his employers and Will say nothing
that viii get them into trouble.
