"SHE" IS TAKEN.

I.iliuokalani Dominis is pris-
Oner.
She is confined in what has been
the auditor-general's office, at the
Executive Building.
A corporars guard stands watch
over the former queen of Hawaii.
The woman who has caused all
the trouble of the past three years
is wholly within the power of the
Government.
The arrest was made very quietly
at 10 o'clock this morning by
Deputy Brown and Captain Parker.
This movement was decided upon
at the Cabinet meeting Tuesday
evening.
An order was sent at 9:3o o'clock
this day from the Office of Adjutant-
General Soper to Marshal Hitch
cock. It was to arrest Liliuokalani
Dominis forthwith and de-
liver her to Lieut.. Col. Fisher,
commanding the military, at the
Executive building, Immediately. "
Deputy Brown and Capt. Parker
reported in a few minutes to a
cabinet meeting then in progress to
ask if there were any special in
structions. None were given. They
left at once for Washington place
with two hacks.
There were a number of native
guards around the Dominis' house.
These did not even challenge the
police. The mistress of the house
had no visitors inside.
Liiiuokalani was lying down in
her bed chamber. She came into a
larger room to meet the officers.
Capt. Parker spoke to the ex-
queen, saying that he had all order
for her arrest.
Mrs. Dominis has always been
rated a strong woman. TWAS more
than half expected she would resist.
She did not faint, or cry, or start
back, or give any Evidence of weak
ness.
The woman who has made Ha-
wall politically what it is today,
merely said
"All right; l will 60"
In very few minutes Liliuoka,
lani had made her toilet. She was
dressed entirely in black. She wa:

Captain Parker in front with the
