& - v WILLIS TO DOLE. ' i T ———— 2 The Hawaiian President Asked to : ‘Surrender. : Informed That This Action Is Requested S by Prefii(keptf ‘Cleveland—Promised Amnesty by the Queen If = ©°. She 1s Restored. 4 e DOLE’S REPLY NOT YET ENOWN. WasHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The United States government has just been irformed that its wishes in regard to the government of Hawaii have been conveyed to the provisional government of the islands, and that while President Dole has promised a reply soon it is hardly expected that this will be favorable to the queen. = - The message received was cabled from Auckland, to which city it was conveyed by the steamer Alameda, which sailed from Honolulu December 22. 'The information is that the reply of President Dole’and his colleagues will be delayed until the case can be gone into thoroughly and the contention of the provisional government will be fully set forth'in answer té the demand of the United States.

All this is news.to the president and the cabinet, but it was not unexpected, as it is now said that the Corwin bore positive ' instructions to Minister Willis that he should make his. demand for the queen’s restoration at once and use every means to carry it to a successful termination. The only obstacle was the decision of the deposed monarch that/she would not accept the throne on the plan proposed by President Cleveland but would insist upon support after she was placed there. : , : 'To encompass this difficulty the information’ now received is the queen has informed the minister who transmitted the conditions to the provisional government that she will grant amnesty to all -those : who took part in the Tevolution and in subsequent acts of the government; will carry out all contracts since entered into, and will take care of all the business on the basis of which it is now conducted. = She agrees, further, 'to govern strictly under the constitution and will be guided by men whose ¢haracter will be a guarantee of their correct course’in pablic matters.: .. Minister Willis, it is said here, talkes a hopeful view of the matter, but does not seem to be sanguine of the-success of his mission, especially at this time. The gpvernment has only informed him that it will submit a reply in due time and is now getting it in shape. The Commercial Advertiser of Honolulu in"anarticle supporting the government| declared that the United States congress has taken the matter out of President Cleveland’s hands by calling for the papers in the Haswaiian cofrespondence, and asserts that the provisional governgent will not retire from power unless compelled to by force, and says that this is nof likely to be employed. : In the same connection it is stated one who knows of the message received that the condition of affairs on the island is daily growing more complicated. The government, since its unofficial information of the intention of the United States government by the mnewspapers and Minister Thurston’s messages, :has been to all intents stre;;gfihe_ning its forces.” The members 0f the.regular police force have been notified of the probable conflict and their number greatly augmented. . The arms are all at band, ‘and the most resolute of the Americans are at the head of this force. The number of men who iwill fight for the provisional government is placed at from 3,000 to 4,000, as it is stated that many of the supporters of Dole from other islands are gathering at Honolulu to take part i any defensive action made necessary. The provisional government continues firm, and there seems no feeling on any hand other than-.that a return to the old order would meaa a step backward which must not be taken.

A greater part of the day was consumed by the defendant and his associate counsel in arguing the motion for.a new trial. The court overruled the motion in an address in which the prisoner was most merciless-

ly Scored. - Sentence was then passed, Howard manifesting no emotion. The court said inasmuch as the defendant was an attorney he would be stricken from the roll of the bar, : . A LEGISLATCOR SHOT.

THE CORWIN IS BACK.

She Brings News from Hawaii, But It Is _ Kept a.Secret. :

SAN FrANcisco, Jan. B.—The United States revenue cutter Corwin, which left for Honolulu early in December with important instructions for Minister Willis and which has been expected here for a week past, was sighted 8 miles outside the heads at 10:30 o’clock Eriday morning. The ; exact date wupon which the Corwin left Honolulu is not known yet, but nnless there were special efforts to. make a fast run it is probable she has been at least twelve days on the voyage, which would make the date of her departure December 24, only two days later than the advices received from Auckland Thursday night. The regular messenger of the Merchants’ Exchange, who had put off in a small boat as soon as the cutter was sighted, made an attempt to board her at the entrance to the harber. Capt. Munger, of the Corwin, shouted to him rougaly from the bridge, and not only refused to give him any information but also refused to permit his boat to tie alongside the cutter, leaving the messénger to return :against a strong tide. :

The small revenue tug Hartley started after the Corwin as soon as she entered the harbor and went alongside the cutter and offered her services. Capt. Munger informed the commander of the Hartley that there was no service he could perform for him, and refused to allow anvone aboard.

The Corwin avoided the San Francisco side of the bay, and at 1:15 o’clock was off Sausalito on her way to Mare island navy yard, 30 miles away. An officer, presumably* having ‘governmental dispatches,” was landed in a small boat near Presidio military reservation, west of San Francisco. o It is believed here that the Corwin brought the answer of the provisional government to Minister’ Willis® demand for surrender. The reply is undouybtedly already in the hands of the state department at Washington. = - WaAsHINGTON, Jan. B.—Cipher dispatches have been received by Secretary Gresham from the Corwin. Ie will not reveal their contents. The belief in Washington is that the vessel brought information that .the status quo was still maintained, but.the greatest interest is to learn how the gueen received the news that the Cleveland administration had done all it could for her restoration and was under the necessity of turning her case over to congress. . ; e ‘ The state department was not inclined to credit the statements as to

| Minister Willis’ actions at Honolulu | contained in the cable dispatches from { Auckland received by the Associated gPress Thursda§. Such action, it was ;said, was totally contrary to the in- | structions sent to Mr. Willis by the ! Corwin and received by him December !-fll. ~ That he could have’ writ- ? ten to the provisional government '{ after he received those instructions re- | questing that they surrender office was . denied with strong emphasis at the state department, and the expressions | in the president’s message in this con- | nection were pointed to as refuting the i statement. The setting afloat of such | a réport in Honolulu was attributed to ' a malign purpose to impugn the good . faith of the president. !

The dis- | patch says that 'a body of rioters who were demanding the ab- | olition of the octroi duties in the ‘ manner now familiar through the dis- | turbances in Sicily made an attack on | ‘the town hall which resulted in thirty | of the rioters being killed and fifty | wounded: by the troops, which were ' called upon by the municipal authorities to quell the disturbance. ; A dispatch’ from Caltinesetlie says ! that there was a demonstration there ! under the auspices of the Fasci dei | Lavoratori, which wound up in a con- | flict between the troops and the peas- i ants.

Counsel on both sides and the court retired to Judge Tuthill’s private room, where Frank Bardeen, who is connected with the Bardeen papér works of Otsego, Mich., was waiting. An ominous silence pervaded the courtroom. For an hour the spectators and jurors awaited the return of the lawyers.

At 3:30 o’clock Judge Tuthill returned to the court-room and announced that the secret examination of the netw witness would probably require the entire afternoon. The jury was dismissed and court was adjourned . until Monday morning at 10 o'clock. After three hours and a half spent in the examination of Mr. ' Bardeen the lawyers emerged from Judge Tuthill’'s private room. ;

In March, 1890, two months after Dan Coughlin, Martin Burke and Patrick O’Sullivan were taken to Joliet, Capt. Schuettler learned of the exist~ ence gf a withess who could testify that he hdd seen Coughlin, whom he knew quite well, in Edgewater on the night of the murder in company with two men. The name of this witness was Frank Bardeen. At that time the discovery. was not considered important and was not pursued.. When Coughlin applied for a new trial, however, Capt. Schuettler saw the value of Bardeen’s story and began an’active search for hinm.. ;

| It wasin a roundabout way that Bare ~deen’s knowledge came to the ears of | the police. He . was traveling on a | Pullman sleeper between St. Louis and | Chicago in February, 1890. On the car ! with him was William Mc¢Laughlin, ) who lives in this city, a dealer in Cath- | olic books. At that time the whole | country was talking about the Cronin | trial, and McLaughlin had a conversa= | tion on the common topic. ' Lo { “Isvould have been a valuable wit- ' nass for the state,” said Mr. Bardeen. I The assertion aroused the curiosity !of Mr.'McLaughlin. When questioned | Mr. Rardeen said that he was at the | Edgewater electric light plant at about | 2 o'clock on the night of the murder.

| He continued: el , ! _“lwas sitting on the steps when I heard a- { wagon coming’ down the street. In the moon- { light I saw the dimly outlined forms of threes . men ona wagon. They were coming in the di- | rectionof the place where I was sitting. When | they came close to me I turned on the thirty- | two candle-power lamp which was placed over | the doorway. Its rays shone directly on the . horse, and ‘seemed ‘to {frighten him, as he ' stopped suddenly. In the wagon was a box | that I thought was a tool chest. A man saton + this as he drove the horse. :

“Just as the light shone full upon the men two of them jumped out of the wagon. One of these 1 recognized as Dan Coughlin. He ran around on the other side of the wagon so that I ouly saw him for a moment. I knew Coughlin. For nearly two years Ilived within two doors of the East Chicago avenué station. where Coughlin was stationed. The men went on down the street following the wagon. : : ““'Som e time after the murder I read in ‘the papers the account of Coughlin’s supposed connection with the crime and the circum‘gstance of the -trunk and the disposition the murderers had made of the body. 1 was convinced that it was the murderers I had seen. I told my wite aboutit, but 1t made her very nervous and she begged me not to say anything about it. I promised her I wouldn’t, and then I did not wish the notoriety which I knew inevitably would come. Soldid not testify at the trial.” .

At this' time Mr. Bardeen thought that the celebrated Cronin ‘case had passed out of the courts and had ended with the confinenient of the convicted men in prison. When Mr. McLaughlin arrived in Chicagc he told a friend the singular circumstance related in Mr. Bardeen’s story. This friend told it to Capt. Schuettler. -So when it came time to:prepare for a new trial for Coughlin the search for Mr. Bardeen was begun. Clew after ¢lew was run down, only to find that the wrong man had been traced. Capt. Schuettler did not give up,. but obstinately stuck to the search. .- : e

The utmost secrecy veiled every step | in the hunt for Bardeen. It was thought that the defense knew nothing’ of such a witness. Oneday last month there came a rumor to the ears of | Attorney Bottum that a much wanted Frank Bardeen was a - brother *of Ciremit . Judge C. T. Bardeen, of Wausau, Wis. The clew was followed out; the web was untangled, and Frank Bardeen was found at Otsego, Mich. He was working at that place as chief “engineer of the Bardeen paper works, which are owned by a relative of his. He has full charge of two mills. Capt. Schuettler left for | Otsego, Mich., a weel; ago. He met Mr. Bardeen at his residerce, and after much persuasion prevaiied upon him to come to Chicago and testify. - o Joseph McLaughlin, brother of Mrs. | Andrew Foy, will be a witness against Dan Coughlin for ‘the murder of Dr.. Cronin.
