No. 1.
Mr. Stevens to Mr. Foster.
Honolulu, H. I., January 18, 1893.
Via San Francisco, January 28. (Received January 28.)
Events in Hawaii in the past few days have moved rapidly. An entire overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy and the establishment of a Provisional Government in the interest of the whole people of the islands without the sacrifice of a single life. The new government is in full possession of the islands and was promptly recognized by all the diplomatic representatives. The four men of whom it is composed are of high character, one of whom resigned his position as one of the supreme judges to assume the place. Pull dispatches by the mail leaving Honolulu to-day by special steamer.
United States Minister.
