A brief statement of the occurrences that led to the subversion of the constitutional government of Hawaii in the interests of annexation to the United States will exhibit | the true complexion of that transaction. ! The Committee of Safety. On Saturday, January 14, 1893, the Queen ef Hawaii, who had been contemplating the proclamation of a new constitution, had, in deference to the wishes and re- monstrances of her cabinet, renounced the project for the present at least. Taking this relinquished purpose as a basis of ac- | tion, citizens of Honolulu numbering from fifty to one hundred, mostly resident aliens, met in a private office and selected a so- called Committee of Safety, composed of thirteen persons, seven of whom were for- eign subjects, and consisted of five Ameri- cans, one Englishman and one German. This committee, though its designs were not revealed, had in view nothing less than annexation to the United States, and be- tween Saturday, the lith, and the follow- ing Monday, the 1th of January—though exactly what action was taken may not be clearly disclosed—they were certainly in communication with the United States Min- ister. On Monday morning the Queen and her cabinet made public proclamation, with a notice which was specially served upon the representatives of all foreign govern- ments, that any changes in the constitution would be sought only in the methods pro- vided by that instrument. Nevertheless, at the call and under the auspices of the Com- mittee of Safety. a mass meeting of citi- zens was held on that day to protest against the Queen's ei and un- r ceedings and pu beget ei this meeting the Committee of Safety continued to disguise their real pur- pose and contented themselves with procur- ing the passage of a resolution denouncing the Queen and empowering the committee to devise ways and means “to secure the permanent maintenance of law and order and the protection of life, liberty, and prop- erty in Hawaii.” This meeting adjourned between three and four o'clock in the after- noon. On the same day, and immediately after such adjournment, the committee, un- willing to take further steps without the co- operation of the United States Minister, ad- dressed him a note representing that the | public safety was menaced and that lives and property were in danger, and concluded as follows: “We are unable to protect our- selves without aid, and therefore pray for the protection of the United States forces. | Whatever may be thought of the other co tents of this note, the absolute truth of th! latter statement is incontestable. When the note was written and delivered, the com- mittee, so far as it appears, had neither !a man nor a gun at their command, and after its delivery they became so panic- stricken at their position that they sent some of their number to interview the Min- ister and request him not to land the United States forces till the next morning. But he replied that the troops had been ordered, and whether the committee were ready or not the landing should take place. The Landing of the Troops. And so it happened that on the 16th day of January, 183, between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a detachment of marines from the United States steamer Boston, with two pieces of artillery, landed at Hon- oluiu. The men, upwards of 160 in all, were supplied with double cartridge belts filled wich ammunition and with haversacks and cante and were accompanied by a hos- | pital gorps with stretchers and medical DAMM sadesereee J WEnenvuboenativas tages oe yea. ie o¥LL OL cauduiuuw Wad UL spelt Bib aCe Ua wal, unless wade ether Wilh Wie CuMseut os lue guverument OL mawau or lor the oone gue purpose of provecung the lnperieu lives aba peuperty vf causeus vi the United piles.

If so, they would have been sta- tioned in the vicinity of such property and so as to protect it, instead of at a distance | and so as to command the Hawaiian gov- ernment building and palace. Admiral Skerrett, the officer in command of our naval force on the Pacific stattion, frankly stated that in his opinion the loci tion of the troops was inadvisable if they were landed for the protection of American citizens whose residences and places of business, as well as the legation and con- sulate, were in a distant part of the city, but the location selected was a wise one if the forces were oon Log the nes gg su ting the provisional govern! 3 off ar pom 4 to life and property. calling for any such martial array had existed, Great Britain and other foreign powers in- terested would not have been behind the United States in activity to protect their ettizens. But they made no sign in that di- rection. When these armed men were land- ed, the city of Honolulu was in its custom- ary orderly and peaceful condition. There was no symptom of t or disturbance .in any quarter. Men, women and children were about the streets as usual, and nothing varied the ordinary routine or disturbed the ordinary tranquility, except the landing of the Boston's marines and their march through the town to the quarters assigned the fact that after having called for the landing of the United States forces on the plea of danger to life and property the Committee of Safety them- selves requested the Minister to postpone action, exposed the untruthfulness of their representations of present peril to life and property. The peril they saw was an an- ticipation growing out of guilty intentions on their part and something which, though not then existing, they knew would cer- tainly follow their attempt to overthrow the Government of the Queen without the aid of the United States forces. Forcible Possession. Thus it appears that Hawaii was taken possession of by the United States forces | without the consent or wish of the govern- ment of the islands, or of anybody else so far as shown, except the United States Minister. ‘Therefore the military occupation of Hono- lulu by the United States on the day men- tioned as wholly without justification, either as an occupation by consent or as an ra eccupation necessitated by dangers threatening American life and prop- erty. It must be accounted for in some other way and on some other ground, and its real motive and purpose are neither obscure nor far to seek. The United States forces being now on the scene and favorably stationed, the com- mittee proceeded to carry out their original scheme. They met the next morning, Tues- day, the 17th, perfected the plan of tempo- rary government, and fixed upon its princi- pal officers, ten of whom were drawn from the thirteen members of the Committee of Safety. Between one and two o'clock, by squads and by different routes to avoid no- tice, and having first taken the precaution of ascertaining whether there was any one there to oppose them, they proceeded to the Government building to proclaim the new government. No sign of opposition was manifest, and thereupcn an American citizen began to read the proclamation from the steps of the Government building almost entirely without auditors. It is said that before the reading was finished quite a concourse of persons, variously estimated at from 50 to 100, some armed and some unarmed, gather- ed about the committee to give them aid and confidence. This statement is not im- portant, since the one controlling factor in the whole affair was unquestionably the United States marines, who, drawn up under arms and with artillery in readiness only seventy-six yards distant, dominated the situation. ‘The provisional government thus proclaim- ed was by the terms of the proclamation “to exist until terms of union with the United States had been negotiated and agreed upon.” The United States Minister, pursuant to prior agreement, recognized this government within an hour after the read- ing of the proclamation, and before five evclock, in answer to an’ inquiry on behalf of the Queen and her cabinet, announced that he had done so. __The Provisional Government. When our Minister recognized the pro- visional government the only basis upon which it rested was the fact that the Com- mittee of Safety had in the manner above stated declared it to exist. It was neither a government de facto nor de jure. That it was not in such possession of the Govern- ment property and agencies as entitled it to recognition is conclusively proved by a note found in the files of the Legation at Honolulu, addressed by the declared head Tree Ornaments, A won-der-ful variety.

JAY GOULD, 421 yn st. | of the provisional government to Minister Stevens, dated January 17, 1893, in which he acknowledges with expressions of appre- ciation the Minister's recognition of the provisional government, and states that it is not yet in the possession of the station house (the place where a large number of the Queen’s troops were quartered), though the same had been demanded of the Queen's officers in charge. Nevertheless, this wrong- ‘ful recognition by our Minister placed the Government of the Queen in a position of most perilous perplexity. On the one hand she had possession of the palace, of the barracks, and of the police station, and had at her command at least five hundred fully armed men and several pieces of artillery. Indeed, the whole military force of her kingdom was on her side and at her dis- posal, while the Committee of Safety, by actual search, had discovered that there were but very few arms in Honolulu that were not in the service of the Government. In this state of things if the queen could have dealt with the insurgents alone her course would have been plain and the re- sult unmistakable. But the United States had allied «self with her enemies, had recognized them as the true government of Hawaii, and had put her and her adherents in the position of opposition against lawful authority. She knew that she could not withstand the power of the United States, but she believed that she might safely trust to its justice. Accordingly, some hours after the recognition of the provi- sional government by the United States minister, the palace, the barracks, and the police station, with all the military re- sources of the country, were delivered up by the queen upon the representation made to her that ker cause would thereafter be reviewed at Washington, and while pro- testing that she surrendered to the supérior force of the United States, whose minister had caused United States troops to be land- ed at Honolulu and deciared that he would support the provisional government, and that she yielded her authority to prevent collision of armed forces and loss of life and only until such time as the United States, upon the facts being presented to it, should undo the action of its representa- tive and reinstate her in the authority she claimed as the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands. This protest was delivered to the chief of the provisional government, who endorsed thereon his acknowledgment ‘of its re- ceipt. The terms of the protest were read without dissent by those assuming to con- stitute the provisional government, who were certainly charged with the knowl- edge that the queen instead of finally aban- doning her power had appealed to the jus- tice of the United States for reinstatement in her authority; and yet the provisional government with this unanswered protest in its hand hastened to negotiate with the United States for the permanent banish- ment of the queen from power and for a sale of her kingdom. Compared With Tex Our country was in danger of occupying the position of having actually set up a | temporary government on foreign soll for the purpose ef acquiring through that agen- cy territory which we had wrongfully put | in its possession. The control of both sides of a bargain acquired in such a manner is called by a familiar and unpleasant name | when found in private transactions. We are not without a precedent showing how scrupulously we avoided such accusations of their independence by the United States they would seek admission into the Unton. Several months after the battle of San | Jacinto, by which Texan independence was practically assured and established, Presi- dent Jackson declined to recognize it, al- leging as one of his reasons that in the a too early movement, as it might subject us, however Onjustly, to the imputation of seeking to establish the claim of our neigh- bors to a territory with a view to its sub- sequent acquisition by ourselves.” This is in marked contrast with the hasty recogn. tion of a government openly and concededly set up for the purpose of tendering to us territorial annexation. I believe that a candid and thorough ex- amination of the facts will force the convic- tion that che provisional government owes its existence to an armed invasion by the United States. Fair-minded people with the evidence before them will hardly claim that the Hawailan government was overthrown by the people of the islands or that the pro- visional government has ever existed with their consent. I do not understand that any member of this government claims that the people would uphold it by their suffrages if they were allowed to vote on the question. While naturally sympathizing with every effort to establish a republican form of gov- ernment, it has been the settled policy of the United States to concede to people of foreign countries the same freedom and in- dependence in the management of thet domestic affairs that we have alw: claimed for ourselves; and it has been our practice to recognize revolution- ary governments as soon as it became apparent that they were supported by the people. For illustration of this rule I need only to refer to the revolution in Brazil in 1889, when our minister was instructed to recognize the republic “so soon as a ma- jority of the people of Brazil should have signified their assent to its establishment and maintenance;’ to the revolution in Chile in 1891, when our minister was direct- ed to recognize the new government “if it was acceptel by the peopl ind to the revo- lution in Venezuela in 1892, when our rec- ognition was accorded on condition that the new government was “fully established, in possession of the power of the nation, and accepted by the people.” Summing Up the Case. As I apprehend the situation, we are brought face to face with the following conditions: The lawful Government of Hawaii was overthrown without the drawing of a sword or the firing of a shot by a process every step of which, it may safely be as- serted, is directly traceable to and depend. ent for its success upon the agency of the United States acting through its diplomatic and naval representatives. But for the notorious predilections of the United States Minister for annexation, the Committee of Safety,which should be called che Committee of Annexation, would never have existed. forces upon false pretexts respecting the danger to life and property the committee would never have exposed themselves to the pains and penalties of treason by un- dertaking the subversion of the Queen’s government. But for the presence of the United States forces in the immediate vicinity and in position to afford all needed protection and support the committee would not have pro- claimed tne provisional government from the steps of the Government building. And finally, but for the lawless occu- pation of Honolulu under false pretexts by the United States forces, and but for Min- ister Stevens’ recognition of the provisional government when the United States forces were its sole support and constituted its only military strength, the Queen and her Government would never have yielded to the provisional government, even for a time and for the sole purpose of submit- ting her case to the enlightened justice of the United States. Believing, therefore, that the United States could not, under the circumstances disclosed, annex the islands without justly incurring the imputation of acquiring them by unjustifiable methods, I shall not again submit the treaty of annexation to the Senate fo: its consideration, and in the instructions to Minister Willis, a copy of which accompanies this message, I have directed him to so inform the provisional government. The Duty of the Government. But in the present instance our duty does not, in my opinion, end with refusing to consummate this questionable transaction. It has been the boast of our Government that it seeks to do justice in all things without regard to the strength or weak- ness of those with whom it deals. I mis- take the American people if they favor the odious doctrine that there is no such thing as international morality, that there For “Si i lity of Medi: °F plasters,” “Thie'makee da Highest awards to SEABURY & JOHNSON, - CHEMISTS, ‘s ®tw YORK, BURCHELL'S SPRING LEAF TEA at 50c, a pound in packages.

A substantial wrong has thus been done which a due for our national character as well as the rights jot the injured people Penites: we should endeavor to repair. The provisional govern- ment has not assumed a republican or other constitutional form, but has remained a mere executive council or oligarchy, set up without the assent of the people. It has not sought to find a permanent basis of popular support and has given no evidence of an intention to do so.Indeed,the represen- tatives of that government assert that the people of Hawaii are unfit for popular gov- ernment and frankly avow that they can be best ruled by ‘arbitrary or despotic power. The law of nations is founded upon reason and justice, and the rules of conduct govern- ing individual relations between citizens or subjects of a civilized state are equally ap- plicable as between enlightened nations. The considerations that international! law is without a court for its enforcement, and that obedience to its commands practically depends upon good faith, instead of upon the mandate of a superior tribunal, only give additional sanction to the law itself and brand any deliberate infraction of it not merely as a wrong but asa disgrace. A man of true honor protects the unwritten word which binds his conscience more scrupulous- ly, if possible, than he does the bond a breach of which subjects him to legal Mabil- ities; and the United States in aiming to maintain itself as one of the most enlight- ened of nations would do its citizens gross injustice if it applied to its international re- lations any other than a high standard of honor and morality. On that ground the United States can not properly be put in the Position of countenancing a wrong after its commission any more than in that of con- senting to it in advance. On that ground it can not allow itself to refuse to redress an injury inflicted through an abuse of power by officers clothed with its authority and wearing its uniform; and on the same ground, if a feeble but friendly state is in danger of being robbed of its indepen@ence and its sovereignty by a misuse of the name and power of the United States, the United States can not fail to vindicate its honor and its sense of justice by an earnest effort to make all possible reparation. These principles a} ply to the present case with irresistible force when the special con- ditions of the Queen’s surrerder of her sov- ereigrty are recalled. She surrendered not to the provisional governn.ent but to the United States. She surrendered not abso- jlutely and permanently, but temporarily and conditionally until such time as the facts could be considered by the United States. Furthermore, the provisional gov- ernment acquiesced in her surrender in that manrer and on those terms, not only by tacit consent, but thrcvgh the positive acts of some members of that government who urged her peaceful submission, not merely to avoid bloodshed, but because she could place implicit reliance upon the justice of the United States, end that the whole sub- ject would be finally considered at Wash- ington. Interference of America’s Representa- tive. I have not, however, overlooked an inci- dent of this unfortunate affair which re- mains to be menticred. The members of the provisional goverment and their sup- porters, though not entitled to extreme sympathy, have been led to their present predicament of revolt against the govern- ment of the queen by the indefensible en- couragement and assistance of our diplo- matic representative. This fact may entitle them to claim that our effort to rectify the wrcng coinmitted scme regard should be had for their safety. This sentiment is strongly seconded by my anxiety to do nothing which would invite either harsh re- taliation on the part of the Queen or vio- lence and bloodshed in any quarter. In the belief that the Queen, as well as her enemies, would be willing to adopt such @ course as would meet these conditions, and in view of the fact that both the Queen and the provisional government had at one time apparently acquiesced in a reference of the entire case to the United States Gov- ernment, and considering the further fact that in any event the provisional govern- ment by its own declared Imitation was only “to exist until terms of union with the United States of America have been nego- tated and agreed upon,” { hoped that after the assurance to the members of that gov- ernment that such union could not be con- summated I might compass a peaceful ad- justment of the difficulty. Minister Willis’ Instructions. Actuated by these desires and purposes, and not unmindful of the inherent perplexi- ties of the situation nor of the limitations upon my power, I instructed Minister Wil- lis to advise the Queen and her supporters of my desire to aid in the restoration of the status existing before the lawless landing of the United States forces at Honolulu on the 16th of January last, such restora- tion could be effected upon terms providing for clemency as well as justice to all parties concerned. The conditions suggested, as the instructions show, contemplate a general amnesty to those concerned in setting up the provisional government and a t- tion of all its bona fide acts and obliga- tions. In short, they require that the past should be buried, and that the restored Govern- ment should reassume its authority as if its continuity had not been interrupted. These conditions have not proved acceptable to the Queen, and though she has been in- | formed that they will be insisted upon, and that, unless acceded to, the efforts of the President to aid in the restoration of her ) Government will cease, I have not thus far learned that she is willing to yield them her acquiescence. The check which my _ plans have thus encountered has prevented their presentation to the members of the provi- sional government, while unfortunate pub- lic misrepresentations of the situation and exaggerated statements of the sentiments of our people have obviously injured the prospects of successful Executive media- tion. I therefore submit this communication with its accompanying exhibits, embracing Mr. Blount’s report, the evidence and state- ments taken by him at Honolulu, the in- | structions given to both Mr. Blount and | Minister Willis, and correspondence con- ) nected with the affair in hand. In commending this subject to the ex- tended powers and wide discretion of the Congress, I desire to add the assurance that any legislative plan which may be devised for the solution of the problem before us which is consistent with American honor, integrity and morality.

The following suggestions were made and afterward adopted as amendments to the report: That there should be three judges of debate instead of one; that a larger hall be hired for the series or debates; that the hall of George- town University proper should be offered for use in case the plan of hiring a hall was not agreed to, and that Georgetown re- served the right of holding the debate as- signed to its hall in any place they should see fit.
