Tbe document was drawn up by A. 8 Hart- well at the request of the ex-queen. It was presented on the 26th inst, to Presi- dent Dole. The document, acoordiog to the wording, was executed freely and voluntarily. It was addressed to tbe president. Tbe queen made a plea for tbe Hawalians and others who took part in the rebellion. She hopes that ex- ecutive olemency will be exerciasd In their eases. She expresses a desire to live iv ahsolute privacy benraforth. The ax-qaeen's communication-is as follows: Sir:?After full end free consultation with my personal friends and with my legal adrlio.ii, both before and siuce my detention b7 a mill- tary order, In the executive bulMlag, and ant- i lug In conform !ty with their adylo.i end al'o I upon my own free volition, and in pursuance of my unalterable belief and unde sunning of my duly to the people of Ha «r*ll, and to their highest and best interests, also for the sake of thope misguided Hawslians and others who have recently engaged in rebellion again«t the republic, and in an attempt to ro.to"e me to the position oT queen, whlchlhtld prior to the 17th day of Januiry, A.

The document include* a copy of the oath of allegiance taken by her, nnd close*: I have canned the foregoing statement to tn prepared and drawn, and have signed the same without having received the sllgheat sugges- tion lrom the president of Hawaii concerning the tame or any part thereof, or concerning auy action or course of my own iv the premises LOOKKD UPON AH A BUS*?. The qaeeu'a abdication was not unex- pected. In many quarters it ?is looked upon as a ruse to secure clemanoy when eheappear* before the military court now sitting. It is not generally considered that she Is sincere ivmaking tbe protes- tation. Since last advice* evidence of a very damaging character baa been piled around her. Bbc wag arrested on ? military warrant on the 16th inst. No protest was mide when the papers were served on her, and without delay she was escorted to tho executive building and confine ! in a room where she now remains under guard. Oa the evening of tha day of arrest her house was searched and resulted in the finding of the largest amount of arms and ammunition at one time ainoe tbe present trouble began. The munitions of war consisted of 34 rifles, 11 pist-ois, several swords, a large amount of cartridges aud 21 dynamite bombs. The discovery ol this small arsenal aroused a grant deal ol indigna- tion among all classes, and proved con- clusively that the ex-queen was in I league with the rebels. The following day the premises were searched again and a number uf damag- ing papers wars found. They allowed that 1/liaokalatii wna cortain of restora- tion, aa ibe even went go far aa to have a uen cabinet mode oat. It was to be composed as follows: Robert VV. Wilcox, minister ol foreign affairs ; Samuol Nowlein, minister of the Interior; Charles T Gulick, minister oi finance, and O. W. Ashford, attorney- general. As associate justices she named Antone Rosa and V. V. Ashford. W. H. Rickard was to be marshal. Governors for the different islands ware selected; a new constitution was pre- pared by Charles T. Oulick; in fact, everything was in readinesa for the restoration. WHOLESALE ARRESTS. Arrests for treason end conspiracy have been numerous; in all there are abont 350 men under lock and key. Tbis number includes the prisoners of war. It is thought that the government has under arrest nearly all who took Dart in the rebellion. The last of the leaders to surrender was Lot L--.no. Ho ia a half white and was considered a dangerous adversary. He gave himself up on the 17th. alter wandering about the moun- tains for five days. On the earns day the first military court iv the history o! the Hawaiian islands was convened. It waa composed as follows: Col. William A. Whiting, Lieutenant- Colonel J. H. Fisher. Captains C. W. Zeigler, J, M. Csmara, jr., J. W. Pratt, W. C. Wilder, jr.; Lieutenant Jones and Captain William A. Kinney acted as judge advocatee. The court was called and named by President Dole, who is ol the opinion that under the present cir- cumstances better and quicker results will be obtained thau if tbe matter waa left to the civil courts. OKIA I, OF TUB REBELS. A large crowd was in attendance. among tbe andlters belag United States Minister Willis and British Commis- sioner ilawes. The question was raised and after deliberation the court decided to allow tbe prisoners connsel. In most cases Paal Nenman was named. The following day Robert Wilcox, W. C. Lane, James Lane, Bamael Nowlein, Carl Widemann, William Ureig, Henry Bartelman and Loals Marshall were ar- raigned on a charge of open rebellion. Wilcox, Bertelman and Nowlein, the three leaders, all pleaded guilty. The others refased to plead on advice of counsel, and a plea of not guilty waa entered against their names. Paul Neumann objeoted to the jurisdiction of the coui., Ctaiuaiug that under the proc- lamation of martial law the general authority of the courts of tbe republic oreated Dy the oonstitution continued, and they bad the sole authority to try persons aocused of offansea such as ex- pressed in the charges before tbe com- mission. The court overruled the objeotion and the trial has since proceeded from day to day. A great deal of important tes- timony waa secured from Nowlein and Bertelman, wbo have turned state's evidence to save their necks. The murderer of Cnarlet L Oar er has been found. He is a half white carpenter named Thomas Poole, He admitted to a native rebel that he did tho shooting. WILCOX TILLS niS STORY. Wilcox took the stand and told his story in a straightforward manner. He olaimed that he knew nothing of tbe threatened outbreak until one woek be- fore it commenced. Us said that there were not mora than 300 men at Diamond Head tha Sunday evening when tha first shot of the rebellion was fired. The trial of the leadßrs win conclndod on the 20th instint. Tne finding of ths court has not been made puolic as yot. A membsr of the court ie quoted as saying that if the death penalty be im- posed the executions will take place quietly and the pnblio will not be in- formed until they are ovsr with. Ths profound secrecy with which as fairs are conducted has led many citi- zeos to believe thus the offenders will he clonk with in a lenient manner. tion all ready. Nowlein \u25a0?id that many foreigner! bad agreed te help him, bat tbey failed to appear on tbe field. Cbarlei T. Gnlick presented a written statement to tha conrt, in wblcb be denied everything bat the drafting of the constitution. Rickard and Seward made no defense whatever. On tbe 24th a number of natives were tried oa a charge of treason. They were all oa the field of battle. Tbe fourth batch of prisoners was tried on the fol- lowing day. There were 13 in the last crowd. Tbe evidence against them was conclusive. John Bowler, an Irishman, was oa trial oa the 29th on a charge of misprision of treason. V. V. Ashman ia now on trial on the same charge. In all of the above cases no verdiot has been bronght in by tha court as far as tha publio is aware of. It ia estimated tbat the commis- sion will be In session for at leaat two weeks yat as there is a large number of prisoners to be disposed of. Martial law still continues in order to give validity to the verdicts of the conrt. Tbe United States steamship Phila- delphia arrived laat night from San Francisco. The councils of the republic were called together on ths 16th to elect four new members and to make an appropri- ation for tbe war expenses. F. A. Hos- mer, Q. P. Castle, C. B. Wood and J. A. Kennedy were elected to fill the vacan- cies, and (50,000 was appropriated for expenses incurred daring the rebellion. THE GOVERNMENT'S ANSWER. The government furnishod tbe Associ- ated Press correspondent with a copy of its answer to tbe ex-queen. Itreads : Executive BUtUiixa, Honolulu,) January 29, 18115. j Madam:?A document exeouied by you pur- porting to contain anabdication and renuncia- tion ot all sovereign rights hereiofoie claimed hy you hat been referred, In your behalf, lo I the president. you were under arrest the time this in- strument waa signed, it la decided before ac- cepting and placing the aame on file to make clear to you. Mm. Lilluokalanl Dominie, In order that no misunderstanding may hereafter arise, the views of tbe government in the mat- ter. Fria'.?The execution of this document oan- not o4 raken lo exempt yon In the illghteat degreo from personal and Individual liability for iuch complicity aa the investigation and trial may show that you li*d in the late con- spiracy agiinst the government and Ihe conse- quent to** ot life, which position la recognize*! by you in your letter. Stcond?lt cannot be conceded that such rtihti and claims a, you voluntarily relin- quish, have had any legal existence since Jan. 14, lofl:i. when by yewrrmbtie announcement i hat you no longer considered yourself bound by the fundamental law of the land under whlrli you took ofllce, and by which yonr acts in attempting by Ihe mere exercise of your own will to establish a new system of government, the contract existing botween you and the people was dissolved, and all sovereign rights theretofore vested in you were loit. The statement by members of your then cabinet that they could not conlrjl your pro- posed action, and their appeal to the citizens of Honolulu for assistance was the next step which lad to a resumption by tbe people of the right of government. Third?So far as your communication may be taken as a notico to the disaffected, that It Is your dee.re that the republic sha'l be recog- nized b/ them at the sole aud Uwfal govern- ment of the country, it Is fully appreciated. Ivthis connection your unselfish appeal for clemency for those who took pait In the lale insurrection will receive full consideration. By o>der of the executive council. [Signed] William O. Smith, Attorney General. MINISTER WILLIS' ATTITUDE. Since the arrival of the Philadelphia, United States Minister Willis has assumed an oppressive attitude and from trustworthy sources it is learned tbat he has made objections, both ver- bal and written, to the powers of tbe military court now sitting. He seems to take tbe same views as Paul Neumann, cnansel for tha prison- ers, that offenses committed previous to the date on which martial law was pro- claimed should be tried before a civil court and jury. The text of hia objec- tion oannot be obtained at this time, bnt it is understood to be of a nature to cause the government more uneasiness than anything that baa taken plaoe since the beginning of the rebellion. It is understood that Willis has inter- ested himself in tha cases of Louis Mar- shall and Thomas Walker, both of whom have claimed the protection of the United States. Marshall is cbarged with open rebellion. Walker pleaded guilty to treason. Admiral Bsardslee is a stranger here. But little is known of bis standing to- ward ths government. In close govern- ment circles it is feared tbat he might co-operate with Willis and land forces to prevent the finding of the court, when it refers to Amerioan prisoners, from being carried oat. Minister Willis was seen this morn- ing, bnt be declined to make any atate- ment for publication. He would neither deny nor affirm the fact that ha has ob- jected to tbe jurisdiction of the oourt. President Dole was seen previous to tbe departure of tbe steamer. He stated that he waa not aware that any written objection had bssn received from the American minister. He ad- mitted tbat, in the course of a conver- sation, Willis implied that bo wonld ob- ject. British Commissioner Hawes has not given the government any trouble.

G.nlick W. H. Rickard. T. B. Walker and \V. T. Seward were arraigned on a charge of treason. Walker wni the only one who plaaded guilty. SEWARu'S CONNECTION WITH THB CASK. It waa generally suppoasd thai Sew- ard purchased tha arms and ammuni- tion for tha rebela during hia recent visit to San Francisco. It was proved in court that he hired a native to re- main on a small island in the wait aide of Oaliu to watch for a vassal which waa expected from the coast. The schooner waa a aealer named W.O. Wehlborn, belonging at San Franciaoo. The vessel was aigbted on December 19tb, and the arms and ammnnition placed on board the steamer Waimanalo, an ialand vea- eel. They aftermarda landed on Dia- mond Head. Captain Daviea, master of the steamer, admitted all this and said he was approaohod firat by W. H. Rick- ard, wbo engaged him to Intercept tba sealer and secure tbe arms. He was promised (10,000 for doing so. He re- ceived |20 of amount mentioned. John Cumminge, formerly a cabinet minister and now under arrest for con- spiracy, stated that he waa told by Soward tbat he had received a letter from the queen, telling him to go to San Fraucieco, where ho would be furuiehed funds by Rudolph Sprecksls with which tv purchase arms. A friend oi Spreok- cla named Follis waa also implicated in the traniaction. When tho Australia arrived bere on the 27th a search was made for W. H. Cornwell and Rudolph Spreckels, but they were net aboard. NOWLEIN'm STATEMENT. Samuel Nowlein told of frequent meetings held at Gulick'a residence, at which plans were discussed by himself, Gulick, Rickard and Soward. The re- bellion was planned for five months. The plan was to restore tbe queen and the monarchy at the same time. A new constitntion was drafted by Nowlein, Gulick and Rickard.

It was to be composed as follows:Robert VV. Wilcox, minister ol foreignaffairs ; Samuol Nowlein, minister of theInterior; Charles T Gulick, minister oifinance, and O. W. Ashford, attorney-general. As associate justices shenamed Antone Rosa and V. V. Ashford.W. H. Rickard was to be marshal.Governors for the different islands wareselected; a new constitution was pre-pared by Charles T. Oulick; in fact,everything was in readinesa for therestoration.
WHOLESALE ARRESTS.
Arrests for treason end conspiracy
have been numerous; in all there areabont 350 men under lock and key. Tbisnumber includes the prisoners of war.
It is thought that the government hasunder arrest nearly all who took Dart inthe rebellion. The last of the leaders tosurrender was Lot L--.no. Ho ia a halfwhite and was considered a dangerousadversary. He gave himself up on the
17th. alter wandering about the moun-tains for five days.
On the earns day the first military
court iv the history o! the Hawaiianislands was convened. Itwaa composedas follows:
Col. William A. Whiting, Lieutenant-Colonel J. H. Fisher. Captains C. W.Zeigler, J, M. Csmara, jr., J. W. Pratt,W. C. Wilder, jr.; Lieutenant Jones andCaptain William A. Kinney acted as
judge advocatee. The court was calledand named by President Dole, who is olthe opinion that under the present cir-cumstances better and quicker resultswill be obtained thau if tbe matter waa
left to the civil courts.OKIA I, OF TUB REBELS.
A large crowd was in attendance.
among tbe andlters belag United StatesMinister Willis and British Commis-sioner ilawes. The question was raisedand after deliberation the court decidedto allow tbe prisoners connsel. In mostcases Paal Nenman was named.
The following day Robert Wilcox, W.C. Lane, James Lane, Bamael Nowlein,Carl Widemann, William Ureig, HenryBartelman and Loals Marshall were ar-raigned on a charge of open rebellion.Wilcox, Bertelman and Nowlein, thethree leaders, all pleaded guilty. Theothers refased to plead on advice ofcounsel, and a plea of not guilty waaentered against their names. PaulNeumann objeoted to the jurisdiction ofthe coui., Ctaiuaiug that under the proc-lamation of martial law the generalauthority of the courts of tbe republicoreated Dy the oonstitution continued,and they bad the sole authority to trypersons aocused of offansea such as ex-pressed in the charges before tbe com-mission.
The court overruled the objeotion andthe trial has since proceeded from dayto day. A great deal of important tes-timony waa secured from Nowlein andBertelman, wbo have turned state'sevidence to save their necks.
The murderer of Cnarlet L Oar erhas been found. He is a half whitecarpenter named Thomas Poole, Headmitted to a native rebel that he didtho shooting.
WILCOX TILLS niS STORY.Wilcox took the stand and told his
story in a straightforward manner. Heolaimed that he knew nothing of tbethreatened outbreak until one woek be-fore it commenced.
Us said that there were not morathan 300 men at Diamond Head thaSunday evening when tha first shot ofthe rebellion was fired.
The trial of the leadßrs win conclndodon the 20th instint. Tne finding of thscourt has not been made puolic as yot.

Cbarlei T. Gnlick presented a writtenstatement to tha conrt, in wblcb bedenied everything bat the drafting ofthe constitution. Rickard and Sewardmade no defense whatever.
On tbe 24th a number of natives weretried oa a charge of treason. They wereall oa the field of battle. Tbe fourthbatch of prisoners was tried on the fol-lowing day. There were 13 in the lastcrowd. Tbe evidence against them wasconclusive.
John Bowler, an Irishman, was oa trialoa the 29th on a charge of misprision oftreason. V. V. Ashman ia now on trialon the same charge.
In all of the above cases no verdiothas been bronght in by tha court as faras tha publio is aware of. Itia estimated tbat the commis-sion will be In session for atleaat two weeks yat as there is a largenumber of prisoners to be disposed of.Martial law still continues in order togive validity to the verdicts of the conrt.
Tbe United States steamship Phila-delphia arrived laat night from SanFrancisco.
The councils of the republic werecalled together on ths 16th to elect fournew members and to make an appropri-ation for tbe war expenses. F. A. Hos-mer, Q. P. Castle, C. B. Wood and J.

THE GOVERNMENT'S ANSWER.
The government furnishod tbe Associ-ated Press correspondent with a copy ofits answer to tbe ex-queen. Itreads :

MINISTER WILLIS' ATTITUDE.
Since the arrival of the Philadelphia,United States Minister Willis hasassumed an oppressive attitude andfrom trustworthy sources it is learnedtbat he has made objections, both ver-bal and written, to the powers of tbemilitary court now sitting.
He seems to take tbe same views asPaul Neumann, cnansel for tha prison-ers, that offenses committed previous tothe date on which martial law was pro-claimed should be tried before a civilcourt and jury. The text of hia objec-tion oannot be obtained at this time,bnt it is understood to be of a nature tocause the government more uneasinessthan anything that baa taken plaoesince the beginning of the rebellion.
It is understood that Willis has inter-ested himself in tha cases of Louis Mar-shall and Thomas Walker, both ofwhom have claimed the protection ofthe United States. Marshall is cbargedwith open rebellion. Walker pleadedguilty to treason.
Admiral Bsardslee is a stranger here.But little is known of bis standing to-ward ths government. In close govern-ment circles it is feared tbat he mightco-operate with Willis and land forcesto prevent the finding of the court, whenit refers to Amerioan prisoners, frombeing carried oat.
Minister Willis was seen this morn-ing, bnt be declined to make any atate-ment for publication. He would neitherdeny nor affirm the fact that ha has ob-jected to tbe jurisdiction of the oourt.
President Dole was seen previous totbe departure of tbe steamer. Hestated that he waa not aware that anywritten objection had bssn receivedfrom the American minister. He ad-mitted tbat, in the course of a conver-sation, Willis implied that bo wonld ob-ject.
British Commissioner Hawes has notgiven the government any trouble. He

SEWARu'S CONNECTION WITH THB CASK.
It waa generally suppoasd thai Sew-ard purchased tha arms and ammuni-tion for tha rebela during hia recentvisit to San Francisco. It was provedin court that he hired a native to re-main on a small island in the wait aideof Oaliu to watch for a vassal which waaexpected from the coast. The schoonerwaa a aealer named W.O. Wehlborn,belonging at San Franciaoo. The vesselwas aigbted on December 19tb, and thearms and ammnnition placed on boardthe steamer Waimanalo, an ialand vea-eel. They aftermarda landed on Dia-mond Head. Captain Daviea, master ofthe steamer, admitted all this and saidhe was approaohod firat by W. H. Rick-ard, wbo engaged him to Intercept tbasealer and secure tbe arms. He waspromised (10,000 for doing so. He re-
ceived |20 of amount mentioned.John Cumminge, formerly a cabinet
minister and now under arrest for con-spiracy, stated that he waa told bySoward tbat he had received a letterfrom the queen, telling him to go to SanFraucieco, where ho would be furuiehedfunds by Rudolph Sprecksls with whichtvpurchase arms. A friend oi Spreok-cla named Follis waa also implicated inthe traniaction.
When tho Australia arrived bere onthe 27th a search was made for W. H.Cornwell and Rudolph Spreckels, butthey were net aboard.
NOWLEIN'm STATEMENT.Samuel Nowlein told of frequent
meetings held at Gulick'a residence, atwhich plans were discussed by himself,Gulick, Rickard and Soward. The re-bellion was planned for five months.The plan was to restore tbe queen andthe monarchy at the same time.

And now The Herald Publishing)Comi-any holds Wells, Fargo & Co.'a re-ceipt ior the package. So ends tha greatstrnggle.
