AFFIDAVIT OF FRANK BROWN.
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, Honolulu, Oahu, ss:
FRANK BROWN, being duly sworn, deposes and says, that he has
resided in the Hawaiian Islands for the past forty-seven years; that he
was amember of the Legislature for inaay sessions; thathewasin Honolulu
priortoandduringtherevolution of January 17,1893; thattheperiod
from Saturday until the troops landed he considered an interregnum;
that in his opinion there was no government during those days; that
he considered the landing of the United States troops a very good
thing to show that there was some protection against incendiarism and
destruction of private property in case anything should happen; he
was in the riot at the time of Kalakaua's election when troops were
landed, and was not sure but there would be a repetition of the trouble
at that time; that in his opinion there was much more cause for landing
the troops in January, 1893, than there was in 1887, as upon the
former occasion the city was thoroughly guarded by the respectable
element of the community, whereas in January last no such preparation
had been made.

AFFIDAVIT OF P. F. A. EHLERS.
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, Honolulu, Oahu, ss:
P. F. A. EHLERS, being duly sworn, deposes and says, that he was
born in Germany; that he has resided in Honolulu since 1866; that he
has a family, is a householder, and is engaged in business here; that he
was in Honolulu prior to and during the revolution of January 14-17,
1893; that he talked with people, heard rumors, and that there was a
state of great excitement and alarm; that the presence of the United
States forces when they landed was a good thing, and prevented possible
lawlessness which would have resulted in loss of property and
possibly life.

AFFIDAVIT OF J. H. FISHER.
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, Honolulu, Oahu, ss:
JOSEPH HENRY FISHER, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he
is 36 years of age, born in San Francisco, Cal., United States of America,
and has lived in Honolulu since February, 1883, and has been since that
date employed as teller in the bank of Bishop & Co. Is married and
has a family. Is a property owner. Was captain of Company B,
Honolulu Biftes, disbanded in August, 1890. That on the 14th day of
January began to recruit ex-meinbers of Company B and others to join
in the movement for deposing Liliuokalani and forming a Provisional
Government. Knew that other ex-captains of the Honolulu Bifles
were doing the same. Compared notes with them and found nearly
all of the old members very prompt in volunteering, and also many
who were not formerly members. The roll of Company B on the evening
of 16th January had the names of 45 volunteers; nearly all had
arms and ammunition.
On that evening at a meeting of the committee of safety were organized
as a battalion. Was appointed lieutenant-colonel. On the morning
of the 17th January turned command of Company B over to Lieut.
Potter. Orders were issued to assemble at the old armory promptly
at 3 o'clock on afternoon of January 17. Matters were precipitated by
the shot fired by Ordnance Officer Good on Fort street about 2:20
o'clock. Was at the armory immediately after, and at the request of
the members of the new Government sent men as fast as they arrived
in squads to the Government building, the first sent being Capt.
Zeigler with about 36 men. Had not been told nor did not believe the
United States marines would take part one way or another. This
being the fourth time during his residence in Honolulu that he has
taken up arms in defense of good government in the Hawaiian Islands.
