The Ponape Troubles.
Ponape, July 14, IH9O.

Dear Mrs. Cooke,
* * * \A/e are in great trouble
here. The natives have broken out
again on the Spaniards, and killed a
Lieutenant and two corporals, and about
thirty Manila men, at our place at Ova.

They came

to Ova May 17, and asked

for a place to build. The hill clo;&gt;e by
our school was given them, and they
started to clear the place, and two weeks
after, two priests came and wanted a
place to build on, and no other place
but the Doane's place close by the
church would suit them. They started
to build their church about four yards
from our church door. Of course we
complained to the Governor about it,

but they said that that was the only
healthy place. So the Governor wrote
and told us that they could not have it
moved as that was the only healthy
place. We could not do or say anything more.
June 25th, early in the morning we
were awakened with the noise of shouting and shooting. The Lieutenant and
his men had just started to their work,
and the natives rushed on them and killed them, a few escaping into the woods,
and the natives hunting them down
like pigs. They not having any arms
could not do anything. They left all
their arms in the house they were living
in, and the natives took them all.
When we first heard the noise, Nanpei
ran down the hill just in time to save
the two priests. He brought them up
to our house, and he and his wife saved
five Manila men, and a chief saved
another, and we kept them all in our
house two days and two nights. Those
We did
were nights of anxiety for
not know what minute they would break
in and kill them. Our own lives were
in danger too, because they were angry
with Nanpei for saving them. The
second night Nanpei and Mr. Bowker
took them quietly from the house down
to the shore and out to the reef where
the man-of-war was, and they got safely
on board. When the news reached the
Governor, he sent four armed boats, but
they were driven back by the natives,
killing two and wounding nine. No
Ponapeans got hurt. About five o'clock,
the same day, the man-of-war came, and
as she was going in the passage, she
got on the reef, and they did not get
her off till Sunday night. (She got on
Wednesday evening). The man-of-war
getting on the reef saved a light and the
lives of the people we had in the house,
and perhaps our own lives too. Now
they are going to send to Manila for
help. In about four weeks they will
have four men-of-war down here. Then
they will shell the whole of Matelenim.
Poor, poor Ponape will suffer now for
their foolish deed.
Our work is broken up and we will
have to leave the place till it is quiet

again. The Governor sent word to all
that did not have anything to do with
the fight to leave or he would not be responsible for their lives. We are going
to Nanpei's place at Kiti to live till the
.S7&lt;ir comes. I hope she is about read}
to leave Honolulu now. We will begin
to look for her the end of August.
The Governor has been very kind to
us. He offered us a house to stay in
and to protect us. We will be safe at
Kiti unless the whole island breaks out.
The Kiti tribe is quiet now. The Spanish have a station there with about forty
men and two priests, and they are quite
friendly to them. We do not know the
real cause of the tight. A great many
blame us for it on account ot our not
wanting their church near ours, but it is
not true. The Ova people did not start
the light, but now they have all joined.
The second day after the light I left
Ova with ten girls and have been staying here with a friend. I went back
once to see Miss Palmer and to plan
about going to Kiti. We want to keep
the girls with us if possible.
Tell Grace not to be anxious about us.
The natives say they will not kill any of
us. * * With love to you all.

(Post-marked Manila, Aug. 11.)

Letter from Rev. James Kekela of Hivaoa,
Marquesas Is.
[By Tropit Bird, arrived at San bran
cisco Sept. 19. the following letter was
received from Mr. Kekela, then on the
island of 'Tahiti.'
Papeete, August 6th, 1890.
Rev. C. M. Hyde:
Great love to you, your wife and your
children. There has been a long interval in our correspondence. We Hawaiian missionaries in the Marquesas are
all well, except Mrs. S. Kauwealoha,
who has been invalid and feeble for the
past four months, but is now somewhat
better ; I saw them at L'apon the first
week in July.
I am just now here at Papeete, having
come to take home my youngest daughter, to be a teacher of French at Hivaoa.
She has spent four years in Tahiti, and
has become fitted to teach in the French
language, having been approved by the
inspectors of the French government in

Tahiti.

In the latter part of June I left Puamau for Nuuhiwa, but finding the vessel had gone to 'Tahiti, I made a friendly visit of a week to the S. Kauwealoha
folks at Uapou, then returned to Taiohae, Nuuhiwa, to await the vessel from
California. We sailed from Taiohae
July 29, reaching Papeete August 2d. I
spent a few days here, waiting for passage to Nuuhiwa.
I have associated with the French
Protestant.missionaries of Pepeete, Mr.
Verenie and wife. He is pastor of the
native people, who have a fine house of

worship. He gave me his pulpit on the
Sabbath, and the people rejoiced to bear
of God's work in the Marquesas, in Hawaii, and in M'cronesia.
These Society Islands were the first
to hear the Gospel of Jesus the early
teachers are all deceased, and their successors have returned to England, or
gone on to Rarotonga, Samoa, Fiji,
Solomon's and Papua. The elder people remember the labors of the early
missionaries from England. They are
well versed in the Bible, to which they
devote great attention.
There are here some Protestant French
missionaries, Mr. Verenie and wife, and
Mr. C. Vienot and wife, in whose family
my daughter lives, three single ladies
being the Protestant teachers. There
is also here a Catholic school which
some attend.
Tahiti and Moorea have long been in
French jiossession, as well as the P.oimotu and Marquesas groups. In
fighting began between the people of
Raiatea and the French war-ships, since
which time till now the French ships
have stood waiting, without actual firing
between the ships and the natives.
Last July, the French attacked Huahine, and defeated the natives, raising
the French flag. Borabors submitted
to French occujiation without resistance.
In a short time, Raiatea will have accepted the French tlag. 'The French
ships are in great force.
A great French ship with the Admiral
is now here, 12 days from Honolulu,
having arrived about July 30th. The
French ship Champlain is also here with
the war news from Raiatea, Huahine
and Borahora.
In the Marquesas, the Lord's work
has not progressed as unobstructed!)' as

ing the state of his nerves. He remained
wakeful for forty-eight hours, bathed in
sweat and constantly laboring to better
his condition. At this stage of his sickness the case was considered almost
hopeless by all that saw him. He was
now taken out of bed, laid upon the floor,
and a large bucket of cold water poured
upon his head and body, by which a
powerful shock was given to the system.
He was now laid in bed, and cloths
wet in salt water were applied to
his head to abate the heat. These
measures did not produce immediate
good. About a pint and a half of blood
was taken from the temporal artery. It
was my object to saturate the system
with calomel. A blister was also applied
to the patient's leg. After having gone
about three days and nights without
sleep, and being nearly exhausted, he
began to doze a little. He still had
frequent inclinations to vomit. I then
gave a gentle emetic, which did not
serve to settle his stomach in the least.
His mouth became sore from the use of
calomel, but nothing seemed to reconcile
his stomach until I applied a large blister over the region of the liver. After
this had raised, his efforts to vomit completely subsided, and did not return for
some time. He now could take nourishment. His mouth was very sore, but
his skin was not so yellow as formerly.
I still continued the calomel, though in
less doses. I was confident that my
patient was convalescent, although the
family was unwilling to admit that he
was any better.
He now began to complain of ringing in the ears, and a difficulty of hearing. About this time a
slight cough came on, which lasted
several days. About the fourteenth day
of his disease his tongue became clean
and his complexion clear. Still he was
extremely debilitated, and could not sit
up only for a very brief time without
fainting. His month was very sore and
troublesome, and I discontinued the use
of calomel. Directed him to use cordials, clove water, bitter wine, with a little
bark. He drank a few bottles of Congress water, and took a good supply of
suitable food, for which he had a pretty
gooil appetite. His deafness, cough,
and delirium wore off in the same gradual manner in which his strength returned. In less than four weeks he was
able to ride about, and so he went on to
full recovery.

Political Affairs.
In our last issue, we made some statements about the King's request to the
Legislature to call a Convention to make
a new Constitution. Our statements
were unsatisfactory to the EVENING

Bulletin, which is nowtheregular organ
of the National Reform Party. As, after

the habit of that paper, its animadversions were only in general terms, carefully abstaining from specific instances, we
do not know wherein our offense consisted. Since then, the Special Committee of the House upon that measure
have brought in a very full and elaborate
Several of
report upon the subject.
this Committee are members of the
National Reform Party, some of whom
compose the majority signing the report,
and the rest of whom, with one exception, are understood to be in accord with
the general conclusions of the Report.
It is a somewhat elaborate, and we
think, a very able document. Some of
its positions and statements so precisely
confirm those of our September article,
that we have printed extended extracts
from the Report, which must carry with
it very great weight of authority. Our
prediction is substantiated, that while
the Legislature may favor some amendments to the Constitution, they will certainly not order an unlawful Convention
to do the work.
Our friends abroad may well congratulate us on this evidence of stability
and good principle being in ascendency
in Hawaiian affairs.
As we go to press, it has become quiteclear that the sense of the House is
wholly against the proposed Convention.
Even the King is said to have become
alarmed at so democratic a measure.
His own royal prerogatives might be no
more safe than any of our rights and
privileges in the hands of such an irres-

ponsible Convention.

We deeply regret to hear of the very
serious illness of the venerable Mrs.
Clarissa Armstrong, now in her eightyfifth year. Some four months since,
she was thrown from a carriage at Santa
Clara, and has not recovered from the
effects of the accident. She was lately
removed to her home in San Jose, but
continues to decline in strength. We
learn.that there is still another survivor
besides Mrs. Armstrong of the Averick
reinforcement of 1832, Mrs. Spaulding,
who returned home a widow, about 1836.

His labors have, however, been arduous,

large number of persons, in reference to
their possible suitableness or willingness
to engage in various departments of religious or educational work here. Some
workers he secured, who have accompanied him to'the field. Others with
whom he has conferred, may yet determine to come. Those who have come
to engage in Christian work for the Portuguese, have elsewhere been named.

eminent specialist on Hawaiian volcanoes differs from the views of Prof.
Dana's great work. Without questioning the general high authority of the
latter, we still believe that Mr. Green's
vastly superior opportunity for study of
our volcanoes entitles him to speak
with great weight, even in opposition to
a geologist of the first rank. Without
doubt each of these writers has something to learn from the other. Mr.
Green seems to us justified in regarding
Dr. Dana as having misconstrued his
expressions as to vapors appearing in
great amounts over masses of hot lava.
Our own careful observation certifies
Mr. Green's explanation to be the correct
one, in opposition to Dr. Dana, of the
cause of the violentexplosions from under
the overhanging borders of lava lakes.
The lava was visibly flowing towards
those points, and plunging down into
them, carrying air with it, which becoming superheated, burst back with furious
explosions. President Merritt and Mr.
J. S. Emerson, who were present, agreed
that the movement of the lava was as
stated above.
We, nevertheless, confess to being
stronly impressed by Dr. Dana's arguments in favor of more efficiency of
steam in volcanic action than Mr. Green
would admit. The uniform and minute
distribution of the vesicles does seem to
imply a previous molecular union of the
water with the lava such as could have
taken place only in the depths of the
lava column. On the whole there seems
to be abundance of room for further
study and speculation on that great and
fascinating subject, which has been so
nobly elucidated by both Prof. Dana
and Mr. Green.
We hope to make further notice of
Prof. Dana's work, after longer examination.

Editor.

Once again the Secretary was absent
during the arrival of reinforcements.
But we judge that the brethren took it
good naturedly. and excused him on the
ground that in the discharge of his duties
he cannot be in two places at once.
And what a reinforcement for Hawaii !
Three earnest Christian workers, equally
ready in English or Portuguese. Three
trained leaders who have seen somewhat
of both the Romish and the Protestant
civilizations.
They can tell a story
worth hearing. At last we have an
evangelical mission to the Portuguese
established in Honolulu.
Though no American laborer has yet
been secured for the Chinese work, yet
it is hoped that we may soon have a
Chinaman in the field who is fluent in
both English and Chinese, and who is
a trained worker and an evangelist. We
understand that he has been a successful leader in the Chinese mission at Los
Angeles. His case is to come up before
the Board at the next meeting.

Mr. Frank Damon, the Superintendent
of the Chinese Mission, is under treatment at Clifton Springs, N. V., a place
whither so many overworn brain workers have resorted with great benefit to
themselves. The plan there is to give
nature a chance to do her own work of
restoration. The best medical aid is
furnished. The place is a home, and
we understand that Mr. Damon is undergoing a regular course of treatment,
and is in a fair way of speedy recovery.
The Hawaii Pastors' Aid Society is—
we think we are not premature in saying—an accomplished fact. Payments
are to begin in January, and are to cover
the last quarter of the current year.
There are seven native churches in need
of immediate aid, and for three more as
soon as Pastors are found for them, aid
will be required.
This help comes none to. jon. Men
are in the fiefd who have been fairly
starved. One man was starved out and
had to go to the seashore to bsh and
get something to eat. .And \et this
man has a good home in another
district, and a tract of land where he
could support himself in c&lt; mfort. He
is a High miided and capable man who
has suffered for Christ's sake.
"Will you go back to your work," I
enquired, "if you are supported in it."
"Yes, if I can get my wife to go with

Vacation.

Editor.

Another ride of about twenty miles
had for its destination "Rose Ranch,"
at Ulupalakua. This was for many
years a large and prosperous sugar
plantation, with all its appointments on
a grand scale; where cane could not
grow a vast number of trees of many
varieties were planted; plants and flowers
tilled the yards with beauty and adorned
the numerous cement walks which lead
about in all directions. The number
and size of cement cisterns for storing
water still to be seen will astonish the
average visitor. This was at one time
the most elaborate and attractive establishment on these islands. It is now
used as a stock ranch, where one may
see some fine cattle and many things of
interest, yet the place as a whole is little
more than a ruin of its former beauty.
The road over which we passed runs
through an interesting portion of country dotted with the cottages of natives
and several foreign nationalities, engaged in small farming and stock-raising.
An extensive line of corn fields, aggregating about 2,000 acres, gave promise
of a good harvest. The finest potatoes
we have eaten in the country are raised
in laige quantities far up the mountain
side, above the corn belt in Kula. These
lands are largely leased and cultivated
by Chinese and Portuguese.
Just as the days of our outing were
being numbered we were happily surprised by receiving from the Board of
Directors a generous extension of two
weeks time for further recruiting. This
was used with capital results, and we

more has been done in the ninety years

How shall it be done:

Sir:—The select committee to which
was referred Bill No. 125, entitled -'An
Act to convi tie delegates to frame a
ConBtitutionfoi the Hawaiian Kingdom,"
and several other proposed amendments
to the Constitution and acts relative
thereto, report upon the first of said bills
as follows:

*"In treating the
* question
* ofthe urgent
*

oui constitutional law and whether there has been
violence done to private or public right,
it is well to compare the Constitution
under which the country was governed
from 18*54 to 1887 with that of 1887. It
is remarkable, in examining the two
constitutions, to find what few changes
have, in point of fact, been made. It
lly BUpposed that Hawaii was
a Constitutional Monarchy, and it was
only on account of the corruption and
misgovern ment which it was seen was
possible under the Constitution of 1864
that a demand, very nearly universal,
was instituted for a change, and the
change winch the country di manded
was not in our form of government, but
such a change as sb. uid assure to us
constitutional representative government
in fact as well as in name. It required
but few changes to accomplish this, and
these changes were accomplished by the
Constitution of 1887, which was the result of a universal demand on tl
of the people. Therefore, in a comparison of the two constitutions, we find
that the changes which have been made
Specifically define the powers of the
King: make the Cabinet responsible in
fact to the people through the Legislature; and takes from the King the
naming of.one. and gives to the people
the election of the two branches of the
Legislature. It also takes away the
power which might exist with a corrupt
government to maintain itself and to
perpetuate a wicked government by corrupting the legislative body with the
offer of public offices. This latter principle is recognized in other constitutional
countries. In England*, it is a matter
unheard of to permit government officers
to interfere in an)- manner with elections,
and. in the same manner, no member of
Parlianient can be purchased by the gift
of an office under the Crown. The Constitution of 1887, exactly as much as
that of 1864, maintains Hawaii as a
constitutional monarchy, and the provisions to guard the throne are specific
and clear in their nature. The Constitution of the United States and of many
of the States recognizes the same principle with regard to the legislature and
office-holding as is set forth in our Con-

necessity for a change in

people universally or in ■ large majority
objected to this Constitution and refrained from taking the oath to support it, it
is needless to say that the position
would have been so embarrassing that a
new Constitution or radical revision ot
;he one promulgated would have been
an absolute necessity.' If the government had been so corrupt that it were
evident thai the Constitution were incomplete or that, under its provisions,
corruption and misgo\ ■eminent could
and great wrong be done, then
some cause would exist for the outcry
which has been made bj few against it.
The real cause of the outer) which, at
the present time, undoubtedly is made
by S large number of people in the Kingdom comes from the fact that the prejudices of the ignorant and that the worst
of all prejudices, race jealousy, have been
aroused by a false and wicked appeal to
that sentiment. It is not true to say
that the native Hawaiian is deprived of
an}- rights by the Constitution. He not
only retains all the rights which he ever
had, but, by our new fundamental law,
he obtains rights which he never had,
and tha mere proposition to giant which,
a few years ago, would have been looked upon as an idle dream. It is not true
to say that the Hawaiian is not entitled
to vote for Nobles. The list of voters
for Nobles throughout the Kingdom will
show that half, it' not more, of the list is
made up of Hawaiians.
The object sought to be obtained in
representative government is to prevent
rash and hasty legislation by having one
department of government act as a
check and balance tothe other, and, in the
legislative department, this end is sought
to be obtained by the institution of two
branches of the Legislature which shall
be so dissimilar in their origin and
nature as to still further check and control the enactment of laws.
The lesson taught to us by hisl
that any country which is governed by
the representatives of one class only of
Ople Boon becomes the prey to illdevised, bast\- and injurious laws. To
prevent such an issue was the object
striven for by the framers of the Constitution of 1:887. All of the men in the
country possessed of ordinary intelligence practically are entitled to vote for
one branch of the legislature. In order
to insure a conservative element therein
the other branch is elected by those
whose possession of property or the receipt of a moderate income indicates intelligence of more than an ordinary
nature, sobriety, industry, skill and conservative tendencies, and yet the real
object which is apparently sought by
those who would have a new constitution framed for the country is to break

provisions
advantage of all the people. This provision is amply sufficient to rectify ordinary Wrongs or inconveniences or to do
away with any clanger hich appears to
be imminent in the future. To overturn
the Constitution by providing a new one
in any other manner is revolution, and
revolution is justifiable only on the
ground that the law and the government
has become' so corrupt that the people
have an overwhelming cause of complaint; that they are subject to aggrievancei and abuses that cannot be borne,
and for which there is no remedy except
the overturning of the Government and
the Constitution).
A glance at the condition of the counts and the position of the inhabitants
thereof shows at once that no such
causes exist, and that there is no reason
why a Constitutional Convention should
be called if the object be merely to furnish relief for grievances.

The country was never more prosperous than now; business never more
flourishing; the public health and education were never better cared for; perfect
tranquility and peace would prevail excejit for the efforts of a few demagogic
agitators who have stirred up the ignorant to believe that they now suffer
wrongs that are intolerable, but which
are, in fact, largely imaginary and do
not exist. It is perfectly safe to say
that nine out of even' ten of those who
are supposed to desire a change in the
Constitution, in order to protect them
from wrong and restore to them rights
taken away, do not know what the provisions of the Constitution are, nor do
the)- know what the supposed rights are
which they claim have been taken away.
With regard to the delegation which
went to His Majesty the King, asking
for a new Constitution, it does not appear that they were delegates elected by
the people generally, nor that the}- represented an_v one. except in a few instances, but themselves; nor did they
represent the influential and representative people in the districts. The petitions
sent to the Legislature bear evidence of
having been gotten up by paities in
Honolulu for the purpose of creating an
excitement upon the question and sent
to other districts for signatures. It is
not true that in any respect the honor
and dignity of the Sovereign have been
humiliated or lessened by the Constitution. It is not true that any rights have
been taken from any portion of the people. It is not true that such a radical
change has been made in the government of the country as to affect, in any
injurious manner, the rights of any one
portion of the whole people.

ply to continue and even to increase the
state of uncertainty and injury to public
business and the general prosperity of
the country which exists while constitutional changes are being urged. Should
this bill become a law, for the next year
or probably longer the whole country
would be thrown into a state of feverish
excitement, uncertainty and anxiety;
business would be stagnated; works oi
public improvements could not go on;
Government officers would find their
business largely interlered with; the
Ministers and a large force of officers
would be required to give time and attention to the various details attending
the elections and the convention, and
last, but not least, a great expense would
be entailed upon the country which is
not justifiable by any facts which now
exist.

To say nothing of the legal questions

.

involved, which are more particularly
treated below, the authorization of a
constitutional convention at the present

time would be an exceedingly bad precedent for future guidance, for if the
constitution of the country could be
overhauled and remodeled or entirely
revised every time the Legislature saw
fit to authorize a constitutional convention, there is no telling where the dis-

position to overhaul and revise would
stop.

[The illegality of the proposed Convention is then discussed, with extended
citations of authorities.] Without citing
further authority upon this point, your
committee are of the opinion that the
bill which has been submitted to us cannot be enacted and become law without
a plain and flagrant violation of the
principles of the Constitution which is
now the law in this country.
Without reporting at length at the
present time upon the other matters referred to the committee, we desire to
state that we are unanimous in support
of amendments to the constitution, such
amendments as we may deem necessary
and this Legislature may pass upon.
