"GBOVBR CLEVELAND.*•

The correspondence follows: Mr. Willis to Air. Ores ham. LEGATION

TRB UNITED STATES, HONO

Ltn.tr, Nor. 16, Sirt In the forenoon of Monday, the 18th last, by presrrangement, the queen, aooompanled by th6 royal chamberlain, Mr. Robertson, oalled at the legation. No one was present at the half-hour interview whioh followed, her ehamberlain haying been taken to another room and Consul-General Mills, who had invited her to come, remaining In the front of the house, to prevent Interruption. After formal greeting the queen was Informed that- the president of the United States bad Important oommunloatlons to make to ber and she was asked whether she was willing \o reoelve them alone and in oonfldence. assuring her that this was for her own interest and safety. She answered In the affirmative. 'Presented Cleveland's Regrets. "I then made known to her the president's sincere regret tbat, through the unauthorized intervention of the United States, she had been obliged to surrender her sovereignty, and his hope that, with her oonsent and cooperation, the wrong done to her and her people might be redressed. To this she bowed her acknowledgements. 1 then said to the queen: The president expects and believes that when you are rein stated you will show forgiveness and magnanimity, that you will wish to be the queen of all the people, both native an\ foreign-born: that you will make haste to secure their love and loyalty and to establish peace, friendship and good government.'1 'To this the made no reply until after waiting a moment I continued: The president not only tenders you his sympathy, but wishes to help you. Before fully making known to you his purposes I deslro to know whether you are willing to answer oortam questions which It ls my duty to askV 'She answered: 'I am willing,'

Wanted to Behead Them.

'*1 then assured heri 'Should you be restored to the throne would you grant full amnoaty as to life and property to all those persons who have been or who are now in the provisional government, or who have been instrumental In the overthrow of your government?' "She hesitated a moment and then slowly and calmly answered: There are certain laws of my government by wbioh I shall abide. My decisions would be as the law directs, that such persons should be beheaded and their property confiscated to the government* "I then said, repoating very dintlnctly her words: 'It ls your feeling that theso people should be beheaded and their property confiscated "She roplled: 'Ills.' "I then said to her: 'Do you fully understand the meaning of every word which 1 nave said to you and of every word which you have said to me and if so do you still have the same opinion "Her answer wast have understood and mean all 1 have said, but I might leave the decision of this to my ministers.'

To this I replied: 'Suppose it was necessary to make a decision before you appointed any ministers, and that you were asked to issue a royal proslamation of goneral amnesty, would you do it?'

She answered: 1 have uo legul right to do that and I would not do it' Would Not Feel Safe. "Pausing a moment she oontinued: 'Thesa people were the cause of tfca revolution aud constitution of 1887. There will never be any peuc* while they are here. They must be sent out u.' the oountry and punished and their prop erty confiscated.' "I then said *1 have no further oommunioa* tlon to make to you now and will have none until 1 hear from my government, which will probably be three or four weeks.' "Nothing was said for several minutes, when I asked her whether she was willing to give mo the names of four of her most trusted friends» as 1 might, within a day or two, consider It my duty to hold a consultation with them in her presence. She assented and gave these names: J. O. Carter, John Richardson, Joseph Nawahi and E.

MacFarlane.

"1 then inquired whether she had ony fears of her safety at her residence, Washington square. She replied that she did have some fears that while she had trusty friends that guarded her house every night, they were armed with olubs only, and that men, shabbily dressed, had been often scon prowling about the adjoining premises, a sohoolhouso with a large yard. 1 Informed her that I was authorized by the president to offer her protection either on one of our war* ships or at the legation and desired her to accept the offer at oLoe. Shedeolined, saying she believed it was best for her at present to remain at her own resldenoe. I then said jo her that at any moment, night or day, thtn offer of our government was open to her ao* ceptauoe. The interview thereupon, after some personal remarks, was brought to a close."

Dole Prepares for Defense.

Another dispatch from Mr. Willis to Secre tary Qresham, under date of Deoember 5, announced that the secretary's letter favoring restoration ot the queen created a great sensation. Crowds gathered at all points to dlsouss tho news, but ao breaoh of the peace occurred, Protests against the use of force by the United States were presented to the minister by many persons. On November & President Dole rescinded the privilege heretofore granted Admiral Skcrrett of landing his troops for drilling purposes. President Dole had been making active preparations for defense, fortifying the exeoutlve building, and ftmiog Sll who were Willing to be armed, and Minister Willis had fears of an outbreak.

Secured the Quel's Pledge. Under date of Deoember 90,1808, Minister Willis, In a confidential dispatch to Secretary Qresham, gives a detailed account of his action in finally securing from Queen Liluokalanla pledge Jf amnesty to members of the provisional government in oase she should be restored. Be saysi "Having secured from the queen tbo written pledge and agreement) whioh wa* the prerequisite to tny further aotions, 1 was then, for the first time, in a position to make known to the provisional government the deolslon of the president upon the question that had beon submitted to him by

the protest of the queen, which protest has been acknowledged and aooejted by the provisional government through its president, Mr. Dole, the Immediate effeot of whioh was according to the statement of Mr. Damon, another honored member of the provisional government, the queen's temporary surrender of ber throne."

of a formal nature, stating that Dole's anewer was just delivered and that he would reply to it on the following Tuesday. Mr. Willis takes occasion to compliment Consul General Mills. President Dole's reply to the United States minister'sdemaud is as follows:

HONOLULU, Dac. £8, 1S93—Sir: Your excel lency's communication of Deoember 19. an nounoing the conclusion which tho president of the United States of Amerioe has finally ar» rived at respecting tho applloatiou of this government for a treaty of polltioal union with that oountry, and referring, also, to the domes tio affairs of these islands, has had the consideration of the government. "While we accept tho decision of the president of tho United States, declining further to consider the annexation proposition as the final conclusion of the present administration, we do not feel inclined to regard it as the last word ot tho Amerioan government upon this subjeot. This convlotlon Is emphasized by the favorable expression of American statesmen over a long period in favor of annexation, oonsplcuous among whom are the names of W. L. Maroy, William H. Seward, Hamilton Fish and James Q. Blaine, all former secretaries of state, and espeolally so by the action of your last administration in negotiating a treaty of annexation with this government and sending It to the senate with a view of its ratification. "We shall therefore oontinue the project of political union with the United States-as a oonsplouous feature of our foreign policy. Your Information that the president of the United States expects this government to promptly relinquish to the ex-queen her 'constitutional authority' might well be dismissed in a single word, but for the circumstances that your communication contains, as it appears to me, misstatements and erroneous oonolnslons based thereon, that are so prejudicial to the government that I cannot perqilt them to pass unchallenged. Wo do not recognize the right of the president of tho United States to interfere in our domestic affairs.

Such right could bo conferred upon him by the action of this government and by thai alone. "This 1 understand to be the Amerioan dootriue conspicuously announced from time to time by the authorities of your government."

In conclusion, President Dole says: "lam instructed to inform you. Mr. Minister, that the provisional government of the Hawaiian islands respeotfully and unhesitatingly-declines to entertain the proposition of the president of the United States, tbat it should surrender its authority to the ex-queen.

Regarding the right of the United States to interfere, Mr. Dole says: The treaties between tM two countries con fer no right of interference. Upon what, then, Mr. Minister, does the president of the United StateB base his right of interference

Latest Instructions to Willis. The last instructions to Minister Willis are dated Jauuary 12 and aro as follows: "To Willis, Minister to Honolulu: Yours Nos. 14 to 18 Inclusive show that you have rightly comprehended the scope of your instructions aud have as far as was In your power discharged the onerous task confided in you. The president sincerely regrets that the provisional government refuses to acquiesce in the conclusion which his sense of ri^ht and duty and a due regard for our national honor constrained him

reach and submit

measuro of justice to the people of the Hawaiian islands and their deposed soverelga "While it is true that the provisional govern ment was created to exist only until the islands were annexed to the United States that the queen finally but reluctantly surrendered to an armed force of this government illegally quartered In Honolulu, and representatives of the provisional government, which realized its impotence and was anxious to get control of the queen's means of defense, being assured that, If she would surreader, her case would be subsequently considered by the United States, the president has never claimed tbat such action constituted him an iarbitrator in the technioal sense authorized him to aot In that oapaclty between the provisional government and the queen. "You mado no such claim when you acquainted that government with the president's decision. The solemn assurance given to tho queen has not been referred to as authority for the president to act as arbitrator, but as a fact material to a just determination of the president's duty In the premises. The subversion of the Hawaiian government by an abuse of the authority of the United States was in plain violation of international laws and required the president to disavow and condemn the aot of our offondlng officials and within tho limits of his constitutional power to endeavor to restore the lawful uuthority."

Mr. Willis is at this point acquainted with the submission to oongross of Blount's report and all other correspondence The letter ooneludes: "Your report shows that on further reflection the queen gave her unqualified! ascent in writlug to the conditions suggested and that the provisional governmont refused to acqulesco. The matter now being in the hands of congress, the president will keep that body fully advised of the situation and will lay beforo It from time to time the reports received from you, Including your Na &, heretofore withheld, and all instructions sent to you. In the meantimo, while keeping the department fully informed of the course of events, you will, until further notioe, consider that your special instructions upon this Bubject have been fully complied with. "GHESHAM."

Offer No Resistance.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.—Tho City of Peklu arrived from Honolulu bringing the following advices: "HONOLULU, Jan. 6.—Since our last news, sent per Warrlmo on the 1st, all has been quieter. The government has removed all the sandbags from the verandas of the executive building, whenoe sharpshooters were t3 plok off attacking naval forces. Should congress order the queen restored by force no resistance would be attempted. The sandbag defenses on the ground are left against possible royalist insurrection. The government has small fear of such an attempt, but remains on the alert

Made a ftw Exceptions.

"It is learned from a prominent royalist that after United States Minister Willis had made his demand upon the provisional government he heard tbat the ex-queon lutended to except several individuals from her guaranty of amnesty. It is reported tbat thereupon the American minister sp^nt a Portion of the evening in question at Washington place, arguing with the ex-queen and urging her to change her opinion. It is said that she refused (o do this and that she excepted from amnesty PreslcV'-.t Dole, W. O. Smith, attorney general: Chief Justloe Judd and several others. 'The publlo journalists have been making It hot for Minister Willis George Manson,of the Star, has filed an affidavit In whioh he virtually deolares tbo United States minister to have falsified an interview. Dr. Tronseau has also been called to acoount for his statements' in Blount's report nnd has repeatedly apologised."

"Queen Liliuoknlani has entirely abandoned nil hope of ever regaining the throne of Hawaii and now perfecting arrangements for bringing Kult against the United States'for an lm-men-«e amount of money. Her aotion will be taken upon the statements made in her favor by President Cleveland In his message to congress, by Secretary of Stato Gresham in his letter to President Cleveland and by Commissioner Blount in the report of his investigations, and upon tho further faot that In reoognieing tho justice of her cause and in acknowledging that wrong had teen done heis the United States endouvored to induoe the provisional government to surrender In her favor. Her claim for damages will bo made on the ground that she was deposed sololy by tho armed foroe of the United Slates, acting under the advice and direction of Minister Stevens."

15.

—For two

horses, a saddle, a watch, soma clothes and C90 four lives have beean given. The first was that of Frederiok Dinning, whose disappearance laat summer aroused the whole country. The other three were taken by lynch law Sunday morning. These were: William Gay, a settler, aged 00 his son John, aged 80, and half-witted and .1. O. Burton, a bachelor and stock dealer living near Lucas, ten miles northeast. A mob of one hundred determined men entered the jail here between a and 8 o'clock Sunday morning, took out the three prisoners and hanged them to a small railroad bridge a short distance east of the depot in this oity.

Btorder of Fred Dinning.

The crime for whioh they were lynohed was the killing of Fred Dinning in July last on the Burton place, U0 miles northeast of this city. Inquiry regarding a draft payable to Dinning and his mysterious disappearance led to an Investigation and the arrest of Burton. When closely questioned as to the whereabouts of Dinning Burton said he had gone to Oklahoma with a young man named Gay. A few weeks ago young Gay returned and was at onoe arrested.

Found tho Body.

Then followed a number of confessions from all three which differed materially as to details and the location of the body, but appeared to show conclusively that eaoh had participated In the crime, although Burton denied all knowledge that Dinning had been killed by the Gays. After several fruitless efforts to find the body Burton pretended to have a dream in which the spot where Dinning was was revealed to him, and that after the dream he remembered when plowing corn to have seen spot that would Indicate a grave. This, taken in connection with his dream, convinced him he oould locate the body. In company with the officers Burton was taken to that part of th» county and another search was made at the place designated by him and the body was found In a badly decomposed state. It showed that the skull had been crushed with a blunt instrument.

At the ooroner's Inquest, which olosed Saturday, a verdlot was rendered find' ing that Dinning had been murdered by William Gay and that John Gay and J. G. Burton were accessories. The evidence tended to show that Dinning had been killed by being struck on the head with the back of an ax. The motive for the killing of Dinning appears to have been for his property, valued at $800 or 1400.

The Jail Attacked.

At 2 o'clock Sunday morning residents of the north part of town heard a party of horesmen come In from the north. They left their horses at the stock yards, where plans were arranged, and the mob proceeded to the jail. Orders were given by signs and obeyed without a word being spoken. The jail is a small wooden building surrounded by an 8-foot board fence. In the jail were two steel oells in which the prisoners were confined. Guards were placed about the jail and It was but the work of a moment for the others of the mob to gain entrance to the jail build ing. About this time Burton gave few loud yells and asked what they wanted with him. The masked mob began to Jireak off the looks from the cells with sledges, which took some time.

The Prisoners Secured.

Burton was the first one taken out and conveyed to the spot selected for the lynching and there left under guard. The rest of the party returned and joined the guard watching the jail. The two Gays were then taken and marched to the bridge, where Burton had been left. Ropes were placed around their nooks and each given a chance to speak. Burton said he oould tell lots about his connections with stealing oattle, selling whisky and other things, but when asked to tell about the Dinning murder he replied: "No, sir."

Young Gay made a prayer and said Burton had killed Dinning with an ax Old man Gay said: "We were led Into this." llanged and Shot.

The leader then clapped his hands three times and quick as a flash all three were pushed off the bridge. The Gays evidently died from ctrangulatlonv but the noose on Burton's neck slipped around and up over his chin and he was heard to breathe heavily for a moment, when several shots were fired Into his body. Each of the others also had a bullet sent Into him. The mob then left as quickly as they came, going north. Tho presumption is tbat it is composed of citizens from the north part of the county, the home of the criminals and the scene of tho murder of Dinning.

For Keif-Protection.

Doubtless one of the causes that led to this taking of the law Into their hands was the fact of an organized gang of thieves, of which these persons were supposed to be members, and Burton one of the leaders among them. It would be easy to procure any testimony that might be needed to clear them. Stockmen especially have been suffering from the depredadations of this gang for several years past by the frequent loss of horses, cattle, grain and other property, and it was not considered safe for any person to cause the arrest and conviction any member of this gang,

HREE HUNDRED PERSONS PERISH,

The Awful Disaster Oeears Daring Theatrical Performance in Honor of the Gods—Fire Started by a Cigarette.

TRAMPLED TO DKATH.

SAX FBAKOISOO,

Jan. IB.—The latest

advloes from Shanghai to Deoember 18 received by the steamer Peking, whioh arrived Saturday, give details of an appalling calamity at Ningpo which resulted In horrible death by fire of nearly 800 Chinese women and children. On December 8 an annual theatrical performance In honor of the gods was being given In the temple. Over 400 were present, the women and children being on the balconies of the two stories of the temple, while the men were In the yard. The performance was on a large stage in the templeyard. The audience were eatIng and drinking and many were smoking. A boy carlessly threw cigarette which he had been smoking into a heap of straw at the foot of the stairs leading to the second story of tho temple. The straw was dry and instantly blamed up, burning the staircase and thus cutting off all escape from the top floor. There was a wild rush for safety. Some were traippled to death, some jumped out of the windows and were dashed to pieces on the stone pavement below, while the greater part of the women sat in their seata paralyzed by terror and were burned alive or suffocated by smoke. The engines from the foreign settlement In

Ningpo were promptly on hand but could do nothing to stop the flames. In an hour and a half the temple was in ruins. Many bodies were so badly burned as to be unreoognlzable.

READY TO ISSUE BONDS.

If Congress Doe. Not Act Soon Secretary Carlisle Will Seek Gold. WASHINGTOX, Jan. 15.—From wellinformed sources it Is ascertained that there ls a strong probability that if congress fails to come to his relief within the next fifteen days Secretary Carlisle may deem it neoessary to issue $80,000,000 of bonds under the resumption Act for the purpose of maintaining the gold reserve Intact The bonds, if Issued, will be sold only for gold.

Should congress within the next fifteen 4»ys meet the present treasury needs Secretary Carlisle will refrain from acting, but should it fail to aot a bond Issue will be made.
