Minister of Foreign Affairs, of the renewal ol the demand of the right of suffrage of the Jap? anese residents, and there was khown to be mud ferment, if not an organized ujovem.nt. amonR Home of the Japanese in the! same direction I had positively learned that the Ja Commissioner had sent, by the steamer Claudine which left Honolulu with the Hawaiian Wash Ington Commissioners. January 19, a cable dispatch to his Government at Toklo request lng that a powerful ironclad be immediately sent to Honolulu, though it was known that a Japanese warship was about to arrive there from San Francisco. I do not intend tc criticise the Japanese Commissioner for think? ing he needed another Japanese warship at Honolulu at that time. Ho was entitled to liis own opinions, and was bound only by the in? structions of his own Government.

lt certainly was not strange that in the peculiar circum Ptances of the Hawaiian situation then should bo anxiety among the Americans and the mem? bers of the Provisional Government as what might grow out of this agitation about iiuffrage and certain Japanese ambitions us to the future control of the islands. "Sir Edwin Arnold's elaborate lotter In 'The London of January 24. had arrived there. Arnold's Japanese residence and sympa? thies were believed to have some relation to much that had been said In Tokio by certain European antagonists of American interests and alms, and it was well known that individuals, both In Japan and Hawaii, had enriched them? selves in the supply of Japanese contract labor. These persons were known ta be bitterly averse to the passage of the islands under the Ameri? can flag.

In the Just fear that in such event their contract labor profits would no more swell their bank accounts. The fallen Queen's un? scrupulous and olly attorney was known to be ene who had shared in this kind ol Kain, and was still the agent of this ring Of speculators. lt was feared by the supporters of the Provi? sional Government that the fallen Queen, the lottery ring and palace gang would not hesitate to promise to grant to the Japanese the right of suffrage in the islands, provided they would aid in restoring Liliuokalani to the throne. Among the nearly 20,000 Japanese on the Islands there wore said to be many who had served in the Japanese Army at home "The sudden appearance of the Japanese iron? clad in Honolulu Harbor could not fall to create anxiety and misunderstanding, lt was In those peculiar circumstances that I felt lt my impera? tive duty to have repented interviews with my Japaneso colleague. He did not attempt to con? ceal from me his wish that the suffrage ripht should bo granted tn the Japanese residents.

He was frank and earnest on the subject. 1 was equally frank in informing him that I had no authority to speak on that subject, but In the then existing oiroumstHr.cr-s and In the maintenance of our superior rights nnd inter? ests in Hawaii 1 expressed to him tbs opinion that the United States would resist any en? croachment on the soil or sovereignty Of Hawaii, and that I would maintain this position until otherwise Instructed by my Government. These friendly interviews, In which the long existing friendship and mutual Interests of our respective countries were fully gone over, gave pacifying results to the well-informed, though they did not at once put an ond to public anxiety as lo tho suffrage agitation and ns to what use the fallen Queen's supporters might make of it. stop of my action was duly reported to the Department of State, prior to Hlount having any knowledge on the subject. His claim to have put an end to Hawaiian anxiety about rumored Japanefo encroachment ls as purdy assumptive ari his expression to me at my house that to him the Harrison Adminis? tration was indebted for thc strong Democratic support which wus given it in tho threatened war with Chill, and that Senator Morgan, now chairman of the Senate Committee of Foreign Affairs, could not aid much In the same direc? tion and is not a level-headed man.

THEY DID NOT ASK KOP. tSmBtWCBtOW. "In Mr. Blount's report, as given to thc presf, I find the following language: 'The two load? ing members of the committee, Messrs. Thurs? ton and Smith, growing uneasy as to the safety of their persons, went to Minister Stevens to know If he would protect them In the event of their arrest by the authorities, to which he gave his "It ls enough to say that there ls not a sem? blance of truth In this assertion of Blount made by him without his ever having hinted lt to me or made any Inquiry ot me on the subject.

He thus gives tho signature of his indoiroment to a charge which I never oven heard of until I found lt in Blount's printed report. "He says the response to the call of the Committee of Safety lo land the mon of the Boston 'does not appear In the files of the Le? The meaning of this insinuation is ob? vious. Enough to sny. there never was nny such document. I received the invitation of the Committee of Safety for what lt was worth, as I received other Information on the same 1 should have ropuaatad Captain Wiltse to have landed his force, had not the Committee of Safety r.

The criti? cal clrcumstntues existing, tho fear of In tumult nnd robbery, and the ger of nlnnnlng panic in the night, than Justiiied our carrying out the Handing instruc? tions of the Stale and Navy Departments of July. 1S87, which held the United States and Naval Commander responsible for the pro? tection of American life and propel ty. 'and for the preservation of public The facts and the logic of the situation cb arly in? dicated our duty. "It ls well to state here that this landing of American forces In Honolulu had repeatedly taken place In a period running over many yeat-s.

This happened in 1S74. in JS87, In and was on the eve of being done on several other occasions. Several times prior lo the events of January last I had been notified by the representatives of the Queen to be In readi? ness to receive a request to land our naval force. Repeatedly had our naval commanders during my official residence in Honolulu not everything in readiness to land on informa? tion as to signs of danger which they and their ofllcers had gathered by being in close touch sith the then existing state of things. "The elements and forces af Hawaii In play in 1.87, 18S9 and In 18.3 were, and are.

essen? tially the same, the breadth and strength of thc prevailing elements and forces In UM being more extensive than In the former periods. Those who assert to tho contrary ara nol honest, else they do not understand what they have Written about. To say that tho overturning of tbe Hawaiian monarchy was bogus, a mere scare, ls as absurd as would be the claim of those abo might assert that the fall of Louis Philippe In ISIS and of Louis Napoleon In 1.71 waa an Illusion and a fraud. "Blount that 1 promised to aid tbe Committee of Safety by force. This ls emphatically and categorically untrue, in ply to rival parties at different times, whether thc reports cf the Queen or her opponents, my answer was always the same, thal the force would not land until danger should be plainly Imminent, and then only to protect American life and property, and to no one did I ever hint thst I could or would recognize any but the de focto government, whether Monarchical oe Re? publican, snd, sa I aald In my letter to Secre? tary Gresham, I here reaffirm that Royalists and their opponents had equal access to the Legation and to Its official head.
