ton 10 the effect that flags in the
city Of Washington be placed at half
mast in respect 10 the memory of the

Grover Cleveland, twice President Of

nected with the history Of Hawaii at
the time when history wa. in the max
ing in these islands. Commissioner
BlOunt having come here under direct
orders from President Cleveland to
investigate political conditions and as
certain the actual facts in connection
with the landing Of American troops
from the cruiser Boston at the time
Of the deposition Of Queen Liliuokalani
in 1888 The result OF Commissioner
visit was the hauling down of
the American flag, the withdrawal Of
the American prOtectOrate established
by Minister PlenipoJsntiary Stevens
and an order that the American troops
who had, as alleged, helped in the de-
position Of the Queen should assist in
her restoration 70 the throne.
The Provisional Government, under
Sanford B. Dole. its President, made a
show Of resisting the landing Of the
troops by force, but the action Of the
Queen herself, in refusing 10 promise
2lemency 70 the leaders Of the rsvolu-
ion, brought about a delay in the res
-oratiOn and a dropping OF her claim
