M. Spn'ler. In good or bad fortune, was for Gambetta, and even after Ibe lat? ter's death was a typical modern "Mus Achates," He was born n.ai Seurr-. tn th- Rurgundian l>e partm-nt of the Cote iTOr. IC. Spuller ia an active man. despite hir. heavy figure, and a r.markabl- worker. He ls sixty years of age. H? studied law in i'arls from 185a to Wi., at the sam? tim.- with Intel Ferry, ricard, Gambetta anu many other young men who after? ward distinguished themselves more us writers ami politicians than as lawyers. Spuller wrote for many newspaper HUM of the Opposition under the Km* pile. He was for several years the chief editor of "La Republique Francals.." \.hlch he founded with Gambetta, bat naa not recently been connected with that journal. M. Spuller has distinguished himself, nm only as a writer of historical books and of newspaper article**. but also as a frequent speaker, and a hard worker In committees In the French Chambers, of Which he was a. member before being chosen Senator last vear. He was mede Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs in ISSI: was Minister of Public Instruction in 1V7, and Minister of Foreign Af? fairs In ls*;*, ll- was one of the French t'ommls aioners sent to the Yorktown celebration. M. Spuller has taken Into bbl Cabinet men who were, like r.lm*elf, the admirers and political pupils of Gambetta, and who will form a strongly homo? geneous Opportunist or Moderate Republican Min? istry. The late Premier, M. Dupuy, often used the adjective homogeneous*, bat he could not realize thia Ideal of having Ministers all of the Mme opinion. His fall may be attributed to this defect. Just as the fall of IL Spuller's Cabinet, if misfor? tune should overtake lt. would probably be at? tributed to the contrary defect, that of being too much of a unit, and of repres. nting only a portion of the French Chamber, wh'ch ls not divided Into two great constitutional parties. M. Ravnal has made for himself many enemies on account of the part he to.'k in bringing about the conventions between th** State and the railroads. He is a competent financier. M. Rurdeau, who was formerlv a member of the Cabinet, must be sur? prised to find himself ar the head of th.- Finance wepar-meiu rather than of Public Instruction. The new Minister of Commerce. M. Etienne, has been known by the active part which he too'.*. a* a Oep ttty and I'nder Secretary of the Colonial (UPce, m the expeditions to Tonquln. Dahomey, the Soudan and other places. M.

A bammockUke arrangement was made of the topsail, and with great difficulty Um skipper's wife was raised aloft and was safe, though uncomfortable. Hight of Ott Men afterward wrapped the same sail about themselves. Tv..f the men were on the miz? zenmast, and they made a nest for themselves In th" topsail at the masthead. Thr* lifesaving crew, reinforced by the crews from four other stations, lighted a fire on the beach and settled down to a night's vigil. Till: BEACH COVEBOT with W.M9CKAGC.

The great boom, a foot in diameter, was snapped In two. It seemed hardly possible that the tall masts COUld stand, and th.y were anxiously watched all night.

Dark object-* strewn along the shon were examined by the life patrol and the news paper reporters. There was a fear that a kodj might be .tnrnx thom. When the sun arose yesterday it ushered In - fine day. Shortly after . o'clock a boat put oat from the Merritt. At 6:4.*> she was alongside th' wreck.

He says: "A deep sense of obligation to my country and an American's duty to defend an insulted, threatened and struggling American colony, planted as righteously and ll rm ly on the North Pacific Isles as our Pilgrim Fathers established themselves op.

It ls clear enough frot mount's manner on the day of his arrival i Honolulu, aa well as by his letter to the D. partment af State written shortly after, that 1 designed, at whatever cost, to repudiate tl views and action of the recently terminate Administration, and that in order to do so I must Impugn the action of Minister Stever and of the commander of the United States sh!

I an Amsrtcan Commlwlonor did not ortona*li visional Governm?nt have anything whatever to do with the proposed agreement. A committee of three American citizens, born and educated in the United States, the superiors of Mr. Blount In education and manners, men who had not taken part In the revolutionary proceedings of the previous weeks, went on board the Rush when that vessel came Into the harbor, whits lt was courteously meeting Mr. and Mrs. Blount on their arrival. "At the request of the three American gen? tlemen I Introduced them to Mr. Blount. Hla manner of receiving their visit repelled them, and they asked me to state the reasons why lt would be pleasant to him, and better for all concerned, not to go to the Royalist's hotel, but to take residence on neutral ground, where he would be master of his own surroundings. As delicately as I could do so, I stated the off<-r of the committee of hts countrymen, pointing out to him that by accepting their proposition he would be near the archives of the Legation, which he could conveniently use, which I would be pleased at once to place at his disposal. Brusquely, not to say insultingly, he refused the courteous and honestly intended offer of his countrymen, and at once placed himself amid Royalist and ultra-British suroundlngs. ths British Legation being near this Royalist's hotel, at which the British Minister soon took residence and living. The effort in his report to cast imputation on the Provisional Oovern? ment and myself as to the offer of the Ameri? can house to an American Commissioner will be estimated at its true value by the American public. TREATMENT OK MINISTER STEVEN'S. "Commissioner Blount's manner toward ms In the following weeks I would not allude to here were lt not absolutely necessary to do so. It ls well known to all who have knowledge of diplomatic rules and customs that when a new diplomatic agent arrives at the capital to whose government he ls accredited hl3 prede? cessor and the occupant, of the Legation should receive him courteously, proffer his services to his successor, inform him ol' the existing state of affairs, and, as soon as convenient, give him access to the Legation archives. This I did promptly, and had he availed himself of the kind offer of his countrymen as to residence he could have occupied the room at the Lega? tion containing the official records, which I was ready to offer him. He coldly repelled my kindly intentioned offers, did not allow me to show to him the customary forms of Intro? ducing him to the foreign diplomatic officials | and to the chief public men of Honolulu. How much of his singular course In these regards was due to want of knowledge, and how much to his already matured purpose to make out a case against the United States Minister, the Naval Commander and the Provisional Gov* ernment, the American public must Judge. "All insinuations and Implications in Blount's report that I was averse to his access to Le? gation records are a shameless perversion of facts. To show the character of the men Into whose environment he so quickly placed him? self. I took to him the printed dispatches of Minister Merrill to Secretary Bayard, .the printed records of the recently adjourned Legis? lature containing the recorded votes for and against the lottery gang, the recorded votes as to the recent changes of Ministers, the official copy of the lottery charter, evidence of declslvs value, if he hud really come to Honolulu for any other purpose than to convict Harrison't Administration and the Senate Foreign y.ffalrs Committee of hasty and Ill-advised action in January and February last. His manner, while allowing me to leave those important documents In his room, showed that he cared not to re? ceive them, and the general drift of his report Indicates that he did not even read them. "Ignoring his Inferiority of official rank?which, according to established rules the world over, was below ' it of Minister Resident, between a Consul-General and Charge d' Affaires?with the utmost effort of will controlling my outraged sensibilities, while suffering a terrible affliction at the meant sad drowning of a gifted and be? loved daughter, I endured this Insolent treat? ment, after thirteen years of service as United States Minister without a stain ever before at? tempted to be made on my ofllrlal honor or my fidelity to American prestige and to American interests, never during my seventy-three yeara of life having lifted my voice, my hand, or my rifle apainst the flag of this American Republic. The charges, Implications and insinuations of Commissioner Blount against President Dole, Minister Thurston and the other chief men of the Provisional Government are as baseless and unjust as those against myself and Captain Wiltse, now sleeping in his honored grave. ?OMS KALSK STVTF.Mr.NTS CONTRA DI-TED, "But lt is well for me to be more specific la meeting our opponent's recklessly partisan and ex-pat te statements and arguments. Under tba date of April 21 he says he disapproved of a request of the Provisional Government that tha American forces be landed for drill. I hero affirm that the Provisional Government never made such a request. The Provisional Gov? ernment followed the exact course followed un? der the Monarchy. Whenever thc Naval Com? mander desired to drill his men on shore, in accordance with naval regulations, he so signi? fied to the United States Minister, who mada the request of the Hawaiian Government through the Minister of Foreign Affairs. To my knowledge, at the period of which Mr. Blount speaks, tho Provisional Government pre? ferred that the American soldiers and marines should not land for drill, because of the possi? bilities of ill-feeling and broil between the men of the other naval vessels then In the harbor, but they granted the requests only as friendly and customary courtesy. "What Blount says ubout tho Japanese man* of-war ls equally ex-parte, absurd and ego. tlstlc. For weeks after his arrival in Honolulu he had not even met or spoken with the Jap-. "r j anese Minister. He had neglected to cull upon ? J the Japanese official, and did not ask me to '- | take him to the Japanese Legation and Intro* ? duce him to -the Japanese representative. Touching certain Incidents of suspicion and alarm in Honolulu regarding some of the Jap? anese In the Islands, and the sudden appear? ance there of a powerful Japanese Ironclad, tn addition to a smaller vessel there. In February and March, prior to Mr. Blount's arrival. I had taken the moat prompt precautionary atepo and fully Informed both Secretaries Foster and Gresham, who were at the head of the Depart? ment of State In those montha. How much aolld foundation there really waa for the ex? citement and anxiety in Hawaii at that timo tn regard to the Japanese lt waa impossible positively to ascertain. But the circumstances were such that I would have been derelict aa a Minister of the Unltr I States, which has a large prepondersnee of intereata and commercial rlghte In the lalanda, not to have been vigilant In the discharge of my duty. Several wseka before the fall of the monarchy I had been authoritatively Informed that the newly ar? rived Japanese Commissioner would press on the Hawaiian Government the demand that ths Japanese In the lalanda should have the right of auffraa-e. preciaely as the American. Euro? pean and native-born Hawaiians enjoyed lt under the ConatltuHon of 18.7. THE JAI-AXE.sk COMMISSIONER'S AORBBM. "Not long after the Provisional Oovernment had been established, prior to Blount'a arrival, I received positive information, both from tho Japanese Minuter and /from tho Hawaiian
