MINISTER HArCH's VIEWS.

He says the stability OF the eovernment
IL Now Apparent. -
EN-. Hatch, Minister of Forsdgn
Affairs of the Hawaiian GoyerHment,
who has been at the Occidenfal for q
week past, received the pews OF the
upris ing in the islAnds With surprise
and regret, says the San Francisco
Chronicle Of January 18th. He thinks,
however, that the revolt will not be
without good effects. II has demon.
strated, he said, that the Government
is capable Of taking care Of itself. z3
When, Mro Hatch came up from
formation leaked out that he was the
bearer OF important dispatches to
Minister Thurston at Washington, in-
structing him to prevail upon the Sec
retary of the Navy, il possible, TO send
q war vessel to Honolulu without de-
lay. Mr.. Hatch denied the story at
the time and insisted that there was
not the slightest grounds for believing
that q revolution was impending.
Subsequent events bear out the
story that the plotting royalists were
about to make stand against the
Government. The revolt has taken
place and Minister Hatch still insists
that the Hawaiian Government is not
or has not been at all anxious to see
an American war vessel in the har-
Dor.
"You can say for me-" said Mr..
Hatch, "that / am very much graft
fed at the fact that there were no for
eign war vessels in the harbor at the
time of the revolt. for it has given the
Republic of Hawaii an opportunity to

care of itself. The revolution was the
best thing that could possibly have
happened, eliminating the death Of
Mr.. Carter, which will be thoroughly
regretted by every one in Honolulu.

lief that the periodical rumor OF revo-
lutions and royalist plots will be
heard no more. te
"The Government had q complete
walk-over. It evinced its ability to
successfully cope with any internal
trouble that may arise. The revolu-
luton has effectually proved that
nothing short OF foreign influence can
effect the stability of the Republic.
"The revolt was q surprise to me,
for did not credit the natives with
the possession of such poor judgment.
/ Thought they had better sense. It is
true that many rumors OF royalfst
plots have been circulated for several
weeks, but am candid when say
that Joined with all the other Gov
ernmert officials in Honolulu fn the
belief that the threatening attitude of
the few disgruntled natives who were
inclined to be belligerent offered no
cause for alarm. It seems that the
natives were more serious than we
gave them credit for being. believe,
however, that all the fight has been
knocked out of them.
"From official sources I am in.
formed that the revolution was led by
two half castles, Wilcox and Nowlein.
Wilcox Is an INSCRIPTIONS fellow. He
was sent to Italy at the expen nse of the
Kalakaua Government as a student in
the Italian war college. Then IN 1889
he became the leader of a revolution
which had for its object the overthrow
of the Kalakaua Government and the
crowning of Queen LiliuOkaiani.
Nowlein was major in command of
