The following extracts of the prcM
dent'a Hawaiian message are reprinted
It appeared a so-called
committee of safety, ostensibly the
sourco of the revolt against the constitu
tional government of Hawaii, was or
ganized Saturday, January 1-Uh; that
Monday, the 10th, the United States
forces were landed at Honolulu from a
naval vessel lyititr in its harbor; that on
the l"th the scheme of the provisional
government was perfected, and the
proclamation naming its oflicers was on
the same day prepared ; that there
upon the United States minister rec
ognized tlie provisional government
thus created; that two days after
ward, January 19th, the commissioners
representing such government sailed
for this country in a steamer espe
cially chartered for the occasion, arriving
in San Francisco January 2S, and in
Washington February 3 ; that the nest
day they had their first interview with
the secretary of state, and another on
the 11th, when the treaty annexing tlie
islands was practically agreed upon;
and that on the 14th it was formally
concluded, and on the loth transmitted
to the senate. Thus, between the initia
tion of the scheme for a provisional gov
ernment in Hawaii, on January and
tlie submission to the senate of the treaty
of annexation concluded with such gov
ernment, February 15, there was an in
terval of but 32 days, 1.') of which were
spent by the Hawaiian commissioners
in their journey to Washington. In the
next place, upon the face of the paper
submitted with the treaty, it clearly ap
peared there was open and undetermined
an issue of fact of the most vital importance.
I I conceived it my duty,
I therefore, to withdraw the treaty from
j the senate for examination, and mean
' while to cause an accurate, full and im
partial investigation to be made of the
facts attending the subversion of tlie
constitutional government of Hawaii
and the installment iu its place of the
provisional government. 1 selected for
the work of investigation the Hon.
James H. Biount of Georgia, whose ser
vice of 18 vearsas a member of the house
of representatives, and whose exper
ience as chairman of the committee on
foreign relations in that body and his
consequent familiarity with interna
tional topics, joined with his high char
acter and honorable reputation, seemed
to render him peculiarly fitted for tlie
duties intrusted to him. His report de
tailing his actions under tho instruc
tions given him, and the conclusions de
rived from his investigations, accompany
this message. These conclusions do not
rest for their acceptance entirely upon
Blount's honesty and ability as a man,
nor upon his acumen and impartiality as
an investigator. They are accompanied
by evidence upon which they are based,
which evidence is also herewith trans
mitted, aud from which it seems to me
no other deductions could possibly be
reached than those arrived at by tlie
commissioner.
Mr. Stevens, tho United
States representative to Hawaii, evi
dently had an ardentldesire that the an
nexation of Hawaii should become a fact
accomplished byjhls agency, and during
his ministry he was not inconveniently
scrupulous as to the means employed to
that eud. On November 1ft, 1S02, nearly
two months before the overt act tending
toward tho subversion of tho Hawaiian
government and the attempted transfer
of Hawaiian territory to the United

States, he addressed a long letter to the
secretary of state, in which tho case for
annexation wiib elaborately argued on
moral, political and economical grounds,
lie refers to tho loss of the Hawaiian
government and tho attempted transfer
of Hawaiian territory to the United
States, lie addressed a long letter to the
secretary of state, in which the case for
annexation was elaborately argued on
moral, political and economical grounds.
He refers to tho loss of tho Hawaiian
sugar interests from tho operation of the
McKinley bill, and the tendency to a
still further depreciation of the sugar
property unless some jo8itivo measure
of relief was granted. He strongly in
veighs against tlie existing Ha
waiian government, and emphatically
declares for annexation. He says: "In
truth, monarchy here is an absurd an
achronism. It lias nothing on which it
logically or legitimately stands, the
feudal basis on which it once stood no
longer existing. Monarchy now is only
an impediment to good government and
an obstruction to tlie prosperity and
progress of tlie islands." To a
minister of this temper, full of zeal for
annexation, there seemed to arise :n
January 1S93, the precise opportunity!
which, by timely "deviation from estab
lished international rules and preced
ents," might be proved to successfully
accomplish the great object in view, and
we are quite prepared for the exultant
enthusiasm with which, in a letter to
the state department February 1,1893,
he declares : "The Hawaiian pear is
fully ripe, and this is tlie golden hour
for the United States to pluck it."
As a further illustration of the activity
of this diplomatic representative, atten
tion is called to the fact that on the day
the above letter was written, apparently
unable to longer restrain his ardor, lie
issued a proclamation whereby, "in the
name of the United States," he resumed
protection of the Hawaiian islands, and
declared that said action was taken
"pending and subject to negotiations at
Washington." Of course this assump
tion of a protectorate was promptly dis
avowed bv our government, but tho
American flag remained over tlie govern
ment building at Honolulu, nnd tho
forces remained on guard until April and
after Blount's arrival on the scene, when
both were removed.
This demonstration upon
the soil of Honolulu was itself an act of
war, unless made either with tlie con
sent of the government of Hawaii or for
the bona fide purpose of protecting tlie
imperiled lives and property of citizens
of the United states, but there is no
pietense of any such consent on tho
part of the government of the queen,
which wa.s, a( that time undisputed and
was both a de facto and de juro govern
went. In point of fact, tho existing
government, instead of requesting tho
presence of an armed force, protested
against it. There is little basis for tho
pretense that such forces were landed fo
the security of American life and prop
erty. If so, they should have been
stationed in the vicinity of such property
so as to protect it, instead of at a dis
tance and so as to command tlie Ha
waiian government building and police.
Admiral Skerrett, an officer in command
of tho naval force of tho Pacific station,
has frankly stated in bis opinion the
location of the troops was inadvisable, if
landed for tho protection of American
citizens whose residences and places of
business, as well as tlie legation and con
sulate, were in a distant part of tho city,
but the location selected was a wise one
if tho forces were landed for tho purpose
of supporting the provisional govern
ment. If any peril to life and property
calling for any sucli martial array had
existed, Great Britain uud other foreign
powers interested would not have been
behind the United States Jin activity to
protect their citizens. But they made
no sign in that direction. When these
armed men wero landed the city of

Honolulu was iu its customary orderly,
peaceful condition. There was no
symptom of riot or disturbance in nny
quarter, men and c.iildrcn were about
the streets as usual, and nothing varied
tlie ordinary routine or disturbed tho
ordinary tranquility, except tho land
ing of tho Boston's ninrinea and their
march through town to the quarter as
signed them.
Between 1 and 2
o'clock, by squads and by different
routes to avoid notice, and having first
taken the precaution of ascertaining
whether there was any ono to oppose
them, they proceeded to the government
building to proclaim the new govern
ment. No sign of opposition was mani
fest, and thereupon an American citizen
began to read tlie proclamation from tho
steps of tho government building, almost
entirely without auditors. It is said
that before the reading was finished
quite a concourse of persons, variously
estimated at 50 to 100. some armed,
some unarmed, gathered about the com
mittee to give them aid and confidence.
This statement is not important, since
the one controling factor in the whole
afl'air was unquestionably tho United
States marines, who, drawn up under
arms and with artillery in readiness
only 70 yards distant, dominated the
situation. The provisional government
thus proclaimed was, by tho terms of
the proclamation, "to exist until terms
of union with the United States have
been negotiated and agreed upon."
As I apprehend the sit
uation, we are brought face to face with
the following conditions: The lawful
government of Hawaii was overthrown,
without drawing a sword or firing a
shot, by a process every step of whish it
may safely be asserted was directly
traceable and depended for its success
upon the agency of the United States
government through its diplomatic and
naval representatives ; but for tlie noto
rious predilections of the United States
minister for annexation, the committee
of safety, which should be called "the
committee of annexation," would never
have existed; but for the landing of
United States forces upon false pretexts
respecting danger to Hn and property,
tlie committeo would novvr have ex
posed themselves to t'io pains an 1 pen
alties of treason W it bo-tauing tho
subversion of tho queeu'd t; ivenuuent;
but for tho presence of tint United
States forces iu the immediate vicinity
and in a position to all'ord all needed
protection and support, the committee
would not have proclaimed the provis
ional government from the steps of the
government building; and finally, but
for laIes3 occupation of Honolulu mulct
false pretexts by United States force?,
and but for Ministor Stevens' recogni
tion of the provisional government when
tho United States force was its sole sup
port and constituted its only military
strength, tho qilCOtt nnd her govern
ment would never have yielded to the
provisional government, oven for a tluie,
aud for the sole purpose of submitting;
her case to tho enlightened justice of
tho United States.
