That very nielil the Committee of Public Safety issembled in the bouse next Minister Stevens' resilience. J. 11. Boper, an American, was elected to command the military forcei. The report continues: "It was on Monday evening, January Kith, at S o'clock, thai the United Stales troops were landed. Not n.uch lime elapsed before it was given out by members of the Committee of Safely that they were designed to support them. At 1 he palace, with the Cabinet, among the lead rs el the Queen's military forces, and through '.he great body of the people who were In' al to the Queen, the apprehension one dial it was S movement hostile to the existing Government. Protests were Hied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs ind by the Governor of the Island, agalnstthe landing of ihe troops.

They separated in their mil clTi 1 the Government building for tear of observation and arrest," Blount then describes the location ol the United States troops, showing that the American fores eonl rolled the position of the, Queen's forces and con inuee : "They doubtless were so located lo suggest to the Queen and her counselors that they were in co-operation with ihe Insurrectionary movement and would, when the emergency arose, manifest it liy active support. It did doubtless sug gest to the men Who read the proclama tion that they having the support of the American Minister and naval com mander, were safe from personal harm. Why had the American Minister located the troops in such a situation and then assured the members of the Committee of Safety that on 1 he occupation of ihe Government building he would recognise them as constituting a Gov ernment (le facto and would give such Government In- upportf Why whs the ijoveriinii uunuuig ues- ignated to them as 1 place when the proclamation was snnotii" therefrom would he followed 1 recogni! ion. It was not a point o; strategic consequence. It did not in volve the employment of a single soldier.
