Excerpt from The Real Hawaii: Its History and Present Condition, Including the True Story of the Revolution Knowing of my own knowledge that much of the evidence upon which Mr. Blount based his re port was utterly false and unreliable that his conl elusions were, if anything, more misleading than his evidence, and that a deadly wrong had been and was being done to the diplomatic and naval officers of the United States who were in Honolulu at the time of the revolution, I desired to immediately publish my manuscript, and in compliance with the regulations of the Navy Department, submitted it to the Honorable Secretary of the Navy for his inspection, and requested permission to have it printed. No reply was made to my request for two months, when I was forbidden to publish it. Since the late change of administration I have revisited Hawaii, brought my statements up to date in some respects, and obtained the permission of Secretary Long to publish my manuscript.
