954 HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
AFFIDAVIT OF F. J. LOWEEY.
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, Honolulu, Oahu, ss:
F. J. LOWREY, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he is an
American citizen; that he is married, and a householder in Honolulu,
and has large business interests in the Hawaiian Islands; that he was
present in Honolulu prior to and during the revolution of January 17,
1893; that on Monday, the 16th, there was a general dread of incendiarism,
and precautions were taken by himself and others for the protection
of property; the feeling was so high that it was liable to break out
into lawlessness and violence at any moment; that when he heard of
the landing of the United States forces it was a great relief.

American citizen, has a family, and is a householder in Honolulu;
that he was present in Honolulu prior to and during the revolution of
January 17, 1893; that in his opinion the landing of the United
States forces was fully justified by the critical condition of affairs at

probably have resulted in loss of life and property.

E. F. BISHOP, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he was born
in the United States and has resided in Honolulu over ten years; that
he is secretary of C. Brewer and Company, an Hawaiian corporation;
that he is married and a householder in Honolulu; that he took no
part in the revolution of January 17, 1893, and has since remained
passive politically; that on the evening of Monday, January 16, he
heard that the United States forces had landed at about 5 o'clock; he
did not understand that they had landed for the purpose of taking
any hand in the revolution, but for the purpose of protecting American
life and property; that he believed that the landing of the forces for
that purpose was justifiable, as there was a great deal of allayed
excitement in Honolulu at the time: that during the same evening, at
about 8 p. m., he was present with his father-in-law, J. S. Walker,
when that gentleman received a note from J. L. Stevens, the American

that Mr. Walker immediately wrote a note informing the minister that
the hall was leased to Mr. G-. J. Waller, and dispatched this answer by
the bearer who brought the minister's note.

American citizen; that he has resided in Honolulu for many years, has
a family, a home, and large business interests; that on Monday, January
16, as an American citizen he went to see Mr. Stevens, the
American minister, at about 2 p. m., to suggest the landing of the
Boston's forces for the protection of American life and property; was
told by the minister that it was his intention to laud the forces, and
was promised a guard for his home and property if he wished; that
this affiant was very apprehensive and did not know what might happen;
that he was present and witnessed the riot in 1874 at the time of
the election of Kalakaua, and knew what such a thing meant as soon
as the natives should be aroused and incendiarism suggested to them;
that in his opinion there was more reason for the landing of the troops
in January, 1893, than in 1874.
