UNFAIR METHODS WERE USED The Charge of Collusion between Stevens and the Revolution ists Flatly Denied. . Associated Press. Washington, Nov. 21. Lorraln Thurston, Hawnilar. minister, gave ou a statement tonight. He says: "I am orged to make a statement for publlea tion. setting forth the claims and pos I: Ion of the Hawaiian government, and making reply to the charges eont,alne in lilount s report. As I received no- dllclal information that Blount had made a report, I am unable intelligent ly to state what the position and claims of the government are. A large pro portion' of the published extracts from Blount's reports consist of personal at tacks 1 upon me, and those associated with me in the provisional government impugning our veracity, good faith and courage, charging us with fraud and duplicity. First, I desire to call atten Hon to Blount's method of construct Ing his report. Although he in several places states I was a leader of the revolutionary movement, he never ask ed me a question concerning the same. nor has he given me an opportunity to make any statement. The same Is true of a large number of other men who havj taken a leading part In the movement of January. His evidence consists exclusively of prepared aiu davits or answers to leading questions put by himself at private interviews, no one else being present but a stenog rapher. In no instance was there any cross-examination nor opportunity giv en for contradiction or to explain the evidence. A brief examination of the published portions of the report shows numerous incorrect statements. Blount charges that the American troops enter ed under a pre-arranced agreement with the committee of safety. At no time did Stevens or Capt. Wiltz assure me or the committee, or any sub-corn- mlttee thereof, that the United States troops would assist In overthrowing the queen or establishing the provis ional government, and, as a matter of fact, they did not so assist. I can pro duce witnesses in support, of this sjate ment. In Wundenburg's statement ho says when the committee of safety told Stevens they were not ready to act, he replied: 'Gentlemen, the troops from the Boston will land at 5 o'clock, wheth er you are ready or not.' "The troops were landed to proi;'t American citizens and property, and not to co-operate with the committee In carrying out tiielr plans. In support of this statement, I will clto. , First The troops did not land till Monday r-.lpht, the ICt.h of January, after the revolution was In full progress since the the afternoon of Saturday, the 14th, during which the committee of safety was openly organized for the avowed purpose of overthrowing the queen. Second There was absolutely no at tempt at concealment from the govern ment of the objects and Intentions of the committee. Third The queen, cab inets and supporters were utterly de moralized and became suspicious of cne another, and devoid of leadership. Fourth The committee and their sup porters were united and had ample force to execute their purpose. They knew precisely what they wanted, and proceeded with Intelligent deliberation, thoroughness, and confidence to' do it. It Is admitted by all that. the queen began the revolution at noon on Satur day by attempting to promulgate the constitution, such attempt being Imme diately followed by preparations for armed resistance, and the-United States troops landed at 5 o'clock on Monday. "He calls attention to the revolutions of 1S87 and 18S9. in which about 20 per sons wre killed, and concludes: "Such is the undisputed record of events upon two occasions when the royalists and the organizers of the provisional gov ernment carue into armed conflict, when there had been no suggestion of sup-. port to either, side by any outside pow- J er. Under these circumstances I sub mit the burden 'of proof, is on those who claim the leaders of the provision al government were not In power or that the government cannot success fully carry out the revolution In Ha wall. In reply to the sneer that the persons taking part In the government were 'aliens,' I would say that every man by the lstws of the country Is a legal voter and that a large propor tion of them were born In the country, and, almost without exception, those who were not born there lived there for years, owned property there and made It their homes. They were the men w ho built up the country commercially, agriculturally, financially and political ly, and created and made possible a civilized government therein. They were and ; are such men as today are leading citizens In the most progressive community of the United States, with Interests as thoroughly Identified with the interests of Hawaii as are the in terests of native and foreign-born citi zens In similar "communities In this country."
