Ntw York, Nov. 21.-Th Herald priata
aoder a Wakhiitoa data what purport
to be a Urge portion of the report of Com
missioner Blount. It sans up as follows:
Commission Blount' report will show
that Minister Stevens landed the troops
from the Boston loug before there was
any valid excuse for their presence on Ha
waiian soil; that he declined to remove
them when requested to do so by the gov
ernment and informed that the authori
ties were willing and fully able to pre
serve order and to protect American in
terests; that these troops were stationed
across the street from the government
buiiding in which Minister Mevens knew
the revolutionists were about to read their
proclamation ami that the revolutionist's
committee rrlieil upon the American
troop to protect lliem in this act of re
bellion; that Mr. Stevens recounted the
provisional government according to a
preconceived programme before tii at gov
ernment had obtained potssession i f the
departments and milit.vry power at Hono
lulu and that the military power was sur
rendered, as the quern surrenrirteu. t.iiiy

United "States.

To i;e Had.
V AsiilNbTON, Nov. iL The publica
tion of the Blount report does not seem to
have disconcerted the state department
particularly. It proves to contain little
that was not summarized and indicated in
the Gresham letter to the president. Sec
retary Uresbam still declares that he has
nothing to aay upon the subject and that
nothing is to be given out. It is inti
mated that the Blount report was stolen
from the government printing office where
it was pat into type Saturday night. .
Ko eoolicasation or denial of the accur
acy of the published report can be had
from the secretary of stale' 9et beyond
that the assertion that Secretary Gresfa
am's letter on the subject contained the
substance of it. The Hawaiian minister,
Mr. Thurston, was in conference with the
secretary of state in the morning. It was
not the intention at the Hawaiian lega
tion after the arrival of the Australia on
Saturday to seek the state department for
light on the course of events proponed in
Hawaii. It is conjectured that the Hawa
iian minister's call was by invitation.

here. He is a refugee. He says that the
revolutionists have ten fiit-ela-s war
ships, twenly-two minor warships and

by the bombardment has already been
enormous. Nictheroy is almost complete

He says that the report that Admiral

El Paso, Tex., Nov. 21. The following
circular was scattered indiscriminately
throughout the valley on both sides of the
Kio Grande by the secret agents of the

is to offer inducements to the t great army
of unemployed pawing through this point

the capture of the northern states of Mex

south of that republic, and the army is so
badly scattered that iu effect is scarcely
