THE MESSAGE.
Congress Bcqu«4t*d to ltnliisinte the Re
posed Kanuka -'man.
Washington, Uec. 18 - Following ie
the full text of the president's message
ou the Hawaiian question :
To the Senate and House ol Representative* :
111 my recent annual rueseage to con
gress I briefly referred to our relations
with Hawuii, antl expressed the inten
tion of transmitting furthur information
on the subject when additional advices
permitted. Though I am not able to
now report a detinue change in the
actual eituation, I am convinced that
difficulties lately created both here and
in 11 ».vaii, and now standing in the way
of solution, through executive action, ol
the problem presented, render it proper
and expedient tbat the matter should
be referred to the broader authority ot
congress, with a full explanation of the
endeavor thus tar made to deal with the
emergency, and a statement of the con
siderations which have governed my
action.
I lUppoia right and justice should de
termine tbe path to he followed in treat
ing thia subject. If national honeaty is
to he disregarded and the desire for ter
ritorial extension, or diesatialaction with
a form of government not our own, ia to
regulate our conduct, I have entirely
misapprehended the unisMon and char
acter of our government ami the be
havior which tiie conscience of our peo
ple demanda of their publ.c servants.
A hktho.-pect.
When the present administration en
tered upon its duties the senate had
under consideration a treaty providing
for the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands tothe territory of tbe United
Statea. Surely, under our constitution
and laws, the enlargement of our limits
ia a munifeatatiou of the highest at
tribute of sovereignty, and if entered
upon B9 an executive act, all things
relating to the transactions should be
clear and free from suspicion.

"TRY a package:.
thia peculiar treaty of annexation, be
cause it contemplated a departure from
an unbroken American tradition, in pro
viding for an addition to our territory of
islands of tbe eea more than 2000 miles
removed from our nearest coast. These
conditions might not of theuiaelve.a call
for interference with the completion of
the treaty entered upon by the previous
administration, but it appeared from
documents accompanying the treaty,
when submitted to the senate, that the
ownership of Hawaii was tendered ua by
a provißioual government set up to suc
ceed tbe constitutional ruler of the
islands, who had been dethroned, and it
did not appear that bucli provisional
government had the sanction of either
popular revolution or euti'rage.
EXTRAORDINARY HASTE.
Two other remarkable features of the
transaction naturally attracted atten
tion. One was the extraordinary haate
(not to aay precipitancy) characterizing
all the tranßactiona connected with the
treaty. It app3ared that a so called
committee of safety, oatenaibly the
source o( the revolt againat the consti
tutional government of Hawaii, waa or
ganized Saturday, the 14th dayol Jan
nary; that on Monday, the 16th, United
Statea forces were landed at Honolulu
from a naval vesael lying in ite harbor;
tuat on the 17th the scheme of the pro
visional government waa perfected, and
a proclamation naming ita officers waa
on the same day prepared; that there
upon the United Statea minister recog
nized the provisional government tbua
created ; that two daya afterwardß, on
the 10th day of January, commiaeionera
representing euch government sailed for
thia country in a ateamer eapecially
chartered for the occasion, arriving
in San Fraucisco on the 28th day
of January, and iv Washington on the
gd day of February ; that the next day
they bad their first interview with the
secretary of etate and another ou the
11 tli, when a treaty annexing the
islands waa practically agreed upon, and
that on the 14th it tvaa formally con
cluded, and on the 15th tranamitted to
the eenite. Thus between the initiation
of the scheme ol the provisional govern
ment in Hawaii on tbe 14tb oi January
and the submission to the eenate of toe
treaty of annexation concluded with
such government, the entire interval
was but 32 days, 15 of which wag spent
by the Hawaiian commiaaionera in their
journey to Waahington.
In the next place, upon the face of tbe
papera aubmltted with the treaty,
it clearly appeared that there
waa an open and undetermined
ißßue of fact of most vital importance.
Ihe mesßage ol the preaident accom
panying the treaty declared that the
overthrow of the monarchy waa not in
any way promoted by the government,
and in a letter to the preaident from the
secretary of state, also submitted to the
eenate with the treaty, the following
passage occurred: "At the time the
proviaional government took possession
of the government buildings, no troops
or officera of the United Statea were
present or took any part whatever in the
proceedinga. No public recognition waa
accorded to the proviaional government
by tbe United Statea miniater until after
the queen'e abdication, and when they
were in tbe effective possession of the
government buildinga, archives, treas
ury, barracks, police atation aud all the
political machinery of the government."
THE qUEEN'a PROTEST.
But a proteat aleo accompanied eaid
treaty, signed by the queen and her
minietera, at the time she made way for
tbe provisional government, which ex
plicitly stated that ahe yielded to the
euperior force of the United Statea,
whose miniater had caused United
States troops to be landed at Honolulu
and declared he would aupport such
provisional government. The truth
or falsity of thia proteat waa aurely of
the first importance. If true, nothing
but the concealment of ita truth could
induce our government to negotiate
with a semblance of a government thua
created, nor could the treaty reaulting
from the acta stated in the proteat have
been knowingly deemed worthy of con
sideration by the Benate. Yet the
truth or falsity oi the protest had not
been investigated.
WITHDRAWAL OE THE TREATY.
I conceived it to be my duty, there
fore, to withdraw the treaty from the
eenate ior examination, and meanwhile
to cause an accurate, full and impartial
invf-Btifation to be made of tbe facta at
tending the euLverefon of the constitu
tional government of Hawaii aLd the
LOS ANGELES HERALD t TUESDAY MORNING. DECEMBER in, 189$
iuataliment in its place of the provis
ional government. 1 selected for the
work of investigation Hon. .lames H.
Blouut of Georgia, whose service of 18
years as a member of the htm c of rep
resentatives, and whose experience as
chairman of the committee on
; foreign affairs in that body, and hiscou
! sequent familiarity with international
topics, joined with hia high character
and honorable reoutation, seemed to
render him peculiarly fitted for the
duties entrneted to him. Hia report
detailing bia action under the inatruc
■ tione given him and the conclusions de
rived from his investigation, accompany
this message. These conclusions do
1 not reet for their acceptance entirely
i upon Blount's boneEty and ability aa a
man, nor upon his acumen aud imperii- .
ality as an investigator. They are ac
companied by evidence upon which they '
are based, which evidence is alco here
with transmitted and from which it
seems to me no other deductioua could
possibly be reached than those arrived
by the commissioner.
HARRISON MISLED.
The report, with its accompanying
proofs and such other evidence as is now
before congress, herewith submitted,
justifies, in my opinion, the statement
that when the president was led to sub
mit tbe treaty to the senate, with the
declaration that the "overthrow of the i
monarchy was not in anyway promoted
by this government," and when the '
senate was induced to receive and die- j
cuss it on that basis, both the president ;
and the Benate were misled.
An attempt will not be made in this
communication to touch upon all the
facta which throw light upon (he
progress and the consummation
oi the scheme of annexation.
A very brief and imperfect reference to
tbe facts and evidence at hand, will
exhibit its character and the incidents
in which it had its birth. It ia unneces
sary tv Bet forth the reason which in
January. 18!)3, led a considerable por
tion of the American and other foreign
I merchants and traders residing at lion
I olulu, to favor the annexation of Hawaii
jto the United States. It ia sufficient to
note the fact and observe that the pro
i ject waa one zealously promoted by the
tuinieter representing the United Statea
in that country. He evidently had an
ardent desire that it should become a
fact, accomplished by his agency and
during hia ministry, and he wae not
inconveniently scrupulous aa to tbe
means employed to that end.
MINISTER STEVENS' LETTERS.
On the 19th day of November, 1892,
nearly two montha before the first overt
act tending towards the subversion of
the Hawaiian government and the at
tempted transfer of Hawaiian territory
to the United States, he addressed a
long letter to the secretary of state, in
which the case for annexation was
elaborately argued on mora!, political
I aud economical grounda. He refers to
I the loss to the Hawaiian sugar iuterests
from the operation of the McKinley bill,
and the tendency to a still further de
preciation of sugar property, unless
come positive measure of relief were
granted. He strongly inveighs against
the existing Hawaiian government, and
emphatically declares for annexation.
He aaya: "In truth the monarchy here
ii an absurd anachronism. It haa noth
ing on which it logically or legitimately
stands. The frail baaie on which itonce
Btood ia no longer exiettug. The mon
archy now ia only an impediment to
good government and an obstruction to
the prosperity and progreaa of the
islands."
He further says: "Ab a crown colony
of Great Britain or territory of the
United States government modifications
could be made readily, and a good ad
ministration of the laws secured. The
deatiny and vast future interests of the
United Statea iv the Pacific clearly indi
cate who, at no distant day, may be
responsible for the government of these
Islands. Under a territorial govern
ment tbey could be as easily governed
as any of the existing territories of the
United States. Hawaii haa reached the
parting of the ways. Boa must now
take the road which leads to Aaia, or
the other which outlets her in America,
gives her American civilization and
binds her to the care ol American des
tiny."
He also declares : "One of twocoursea
Beema to me absolutely necessary to be
followed; either bold and vigorous
I measures ior annexation or a customs
i uuion, and an ocean cable from the Cal
! iforuia coast to Honolulu; Pearl harbor
perpetually ceded to the United Statea,
with an implied but not expressly atipu
lated American protectorate over the
I islands. I believe the former to he the
i better; that which will prove much
1 more advantageous to the islands and
j cheauest and least embarrassing iv the
I end to the United States. Il it was wise I
I for the United Statea, through Secretary
| Marey, lis yeara ago, to oif • ,o expend
$100,000 to aecure atreaty of annexation,
it certainly cannot be chimerical or un- '
I wiae to expend $100,000 to aaenreannex
ation in tbo near iuturc. Today the
United Statea has five timeo the wealth
ehe posseßied iv 1874, and the
now existing for annexe ; ~ are niui
stronger than they were then
refrain from expressing theopln
emphasis, that the golden bi v it near
at hand."
THE OVER-ZKAI.OI'B DIPLOMAT,
These declarations certainly tow 1 the
disposition and condition of mind which
may be usefully recalled when inter
preting the aignificance of the minister's
conceded acta, or wbea considering the
probabilities of bucii conduct on his part
aa may not be admitted, lv thia view
it Beema proper to also quote a letter
written by tbe minister to the secretary
of state ou the 8:n of March of 180 :.
nearly ayear prior tothe first step taken
toward annexation. Alter stating the
possibility that the existing government
of Hawaii might be overturned by an
orderly, peaceful revolution, Minis
Stevene writes aa follows'
"Ordinarily, in like circumstancei,
the rule seems to he to limit the landing
and movement ol United States forces in
foreign waters end dominion, exclusively
for the protection ot the United HtaU";
legation and of the livus and property of
American citizens ; hut ns the relations
of the United States to Hawaii are ex
ceptional, aud in former years United
States officials here took somewhat ex
ceptional action in circumstances of dis
order, f desire to know how far the
present minister and navnl commander
may deviate frsm ths established inter
national rules and precedents in the
contingencies indicated in the liret part
of thia dispatch."
TBI (101.DKN OI'PORTTNI I V.
To a minister of this temper, full ot
zeal fur annexation, there seemed to
arise in .1 anuary, 181)8, the precise op
portuuity which, by timely deviation
from ttie established international rue«
aud precedents, might be proved to sue
cessfuily accomplish tho great object in
view ; ana wo ere quite prepared for tho
exultent enthusiasm with which iv a
letter to tlie state department dated
February 1, 1898, he declares: "The
i Hawaiian pear ia now luliy ripe, and
: thia ia the golden hour lor tbe United
I States to pluck it."
UNRESTRAINED ARDOR.
Aa further illustration ol the activity
lof this diplomatic representative, at-
tenlion is called to the fact that on the
day the above letter was written, ap
parently unable to longer restrain hie
ardor, he issued a proclamation where
; by, "in the name oi the tinted States."
; he assumed the protection of the Ha
waiian islands and declared said action
I was "taken pending and subject to tbe
negotiations at Washington."
Of course this assumption of a pro
tectorate was promptly disavowed by
; our government, but the American Hag
, remained over the public building at
I Honolulu, and American forces re
mained on guard until April, and after
Blum's arrival on the scene, when both
were removed.
OVERTHllOW OPTHI lil'KKN.
A brief statement of the occurences
that led lo the Hubversion of the consti
tutional government of Hawaii, in tbe
interests of annexation to the United
I State3, will exhibit the true complex
! ion of that transaction. Saturday, Jan
■ uary 14, 18i);i, the queen of Hawaii, who
had been contemplating the proclama
! tion of a new constitution, had in defer
j once to tbe wishes and remonstrances of
her cabinet, renounced tbe project for
! tbe present, at least. Taking this re-
I linquished purpose as the baBis of action,
j citizens ol Honolulu numbering from 50
j to 1U0. mostly resident aliens, met in a
private office, selected a so-called com
mittee of Bafety, composed of 18 persons,
' seven of whom were f ireign subjects,
! consisting of five Americans, one Kug
lishmau and one German. This com
mittee, though its designs were not re
vealed, bad in view nothing less than
annexation to the United States, and
between Saturday the 14th and
the following Monday the Kith
of January, though exactly what action
was taken may not be clearlv diaclosed,
they were certain'.-.- in communication
with the United States miniBter. Mon
day morning the queen and her cabinet
made a public proclamation, with a no
! tice w hich was specially served upon the
representatives of f.ll the foreign govern
ments, that any changes lu the consti
tution would be sougdt only in the
methods hrovided by that instrumsnt.
i Nevertheless, at the call and under the
! auspices of the committee of safety, a
mass meeting waa held that day to pro
test against the queen's alleged illegal,
unlawful proceedings and purposes.
Even at this meeting tbe committee of
safety continued to disguise its real
purpose. They contented themselves
with procuring the passage of a resolu
tion denouncing the queen andempow
ering the omuiittee to devise ways and
means "to secure tbe permanent main
tenance ol law and order and the pro
tection of life, liberty aud property in
Hawaii."
la spiff <i or iiik trooi'3.
This meeting adjourned between 3 and
4 o'clock in the afternoon. On the same
i day, immediately after such adjourn
ment, the committee, unwilling to tane
further stepB w ithout the co-operation
of the United States minister, addressed
a note representing that public safety
wbb menaced and lives and property in
danger, and concluding as follows: "We
are unable to protect ourselves without
aid, therefore pray for the protection of
United States forces."
Whatever may be thought, of theother
contents of this note, the absolute truth
of ttiia latter statement is iucontestibie.
When the nota was written and deliv
ered, the committee,so tar aa it appears,
had neither a man uor a gun at its cotn
■ mand, aud after its delivery . they ba
\ came so panic-stricken at their position
! that they gent some of their number
| to interview the minister and request
' him to land United States forces till
next morning, but he replied that
troopB hod been ordered, and whether
tbe committee were ready or not, the
landing eliouid take niace. And so it
happened on the loth day of January,
lvj3, between 4 and 5 o'clock in t.'ie
afternoon, a detachment of marines
I from the United States steamer Boston,
with piece! Oi artillery, waa landed at
Honolulu. The men, upwards of 140 in
! all, were supplied with double cartridge
! belts tilled with ammunition, and with
' liaveraacks and canteens, and were
I accompanied by a hospital corps with
| atrea-hers and medical supplies. This
i demonstration upon the soil of Hono
lulu was of itself an act of war,
i unless made either with the consent
1 of the government of Hawaii or for the
i bona fide purpose of protecting imper
1 iled life and property of citizens oi the
j United States. Bat there is not a pre-
I tense of uny such consent on the part of
! the governmt.rt oi the queeu, which
' was at tuat time undisputed, and was
both the de facto and de jure govern
iient. In pjint of fact the existinggov
ernnieut, inntead of requesting the pres
i life of an armed force, protested against
it. There is as little busis for the pre
tense that such forces weio lauded lor
