nHI ( Creighton , ex-cabinet officers , and \ -
l"nhurger , I'ostmacter General Ashtord anti
John P. Boyler have been found guilty of
mlpprlslon of treason. The government , just
Ilrlor to the sailing of the Mariposa , deckled
to banish Carl Wildemann , convicted of trea-
son lie Is n son ot Judge WIHemonn , one
ot ton. the ex'queen's commissioners Washing- -
ton.1lrs. . Lluokalanl Domlnls. ex-queen ot
HawaI , was arralgiicd the Gth Inst. on a
charge of misprision of treason. The orIginal
charge was treason She Is represented by
Paul Neumann 'rho first lay was frittered
away by the argument ot eounel , who ob-
jcctet to the court at every tur Ills objec-
tons were overruled In every hlstance
After the char , was read the mater went
over for a day. The case was called , again
the lay before 'estenlny. The deposed mon-
arch refused to plead : , so a plea of not guilty
was enter.d. The work of eXlmlnlng wine
neses was gone on wln ant enough evidence -
dence secured to prove to In Impartial ob-
server that she was Iwaro the rebellion was
to bo started The most tamlglng evidence
that Is to be brought against tier will bo her
personal diary , which was fount ! In her residence -
dence after her arrst. Whether this Is In-
trOluced and mate public at her trial depends -
ponds very much upon the course pursued
by her counsel In derlntlng her case. The
ex-queen reeordcl her thoughts , desires Inll
Impreslons freely In her diary . Among tha
entries made during last summer was one
statng ; "J. 0. Carter caled today and te-
lverCI Preshlont Cleveland's present to
J . " What this present was Is not stated.
IAU I.'AITI IN CI.IWgLAND.
lIP to the time of the return of the special
commission , which went \'ashington to
Interview President Cleveland , the ex-queen
records herself as favoring a waitng policy ,
confident that the American administrton
would Interfere In her behalf. After President -
dent Cleveland's answer to the commission
she became more aggressive and began to
ii listen with growing Favor to those urging an
uprising on the part ot the nat\es , Iudolph
Sprecltles called to see her oren and Is represented -
resented as ad\lslng her to fight I out. She
( lid not agree with hIm until during his last
stay In honolulu , he indicated that she could
get plenty ot money ii ! San Francisco to buy
arms and carry out a suecessfut rebellion.
Ho Is also reprcselted as I willing agent to
her Iltyshlp ,
The last entry ot the diary was mate De-
cemb 28 , 1891 , and closed with ; "Signed
eleven commIssions today "
These were tire commissions for the ciii-
cers of the new government referred to In
tire testimony of her prh'ato secretary. The
J dOcuments have been canceled or destroyet ,
and her attorney has entea\oret to prove
that they never existed.

importIng antI selling the rebls rifles anti
amnirnunnltlon . For some tme Past I has been
known that munitons of war had beel SUII-
piled to the rebel party , and that thereby
they were enabled , to maintain an armed op-
positon to th laletoa government. I was
swspeetell ) that the ofenters In this respect
were Germans , and not much surprIse was
felt when no Ilroper efforts were made to
bring thcm to justice. One ot the local
papers Inns been very keen In endea\'orlug to
trace the offense home to the guiy persons ,
alit , ) early this year founl Its opportunity.
By some means It acquired Inrormnton In

Issue or the lerahl contaIned nn artIcle
which forced tine authorites to take such
acton that the whole disgraceful business was
exposed. Tine riles liar been Imllorted trom

which they have lmltet were Intemled to

bo belIeved that for such a heinous offense , In
direct contraventon of the BerlIn treaty the
Germnn eonsil here has sin1'y fined the two
partners or the frm $ )750 each Great In-
dlgnalon has been expressed , together wIth
I certaIn amount of satisfaction , that at last
the Infamous perpetrators of this outrage ot ;
