As you were un der arrest at the time this Instrument was signed, it is desired before ac cepting and placing the same on file to make clear to you, Mrs. Lilloukalani Domlnls, in order that no misunder standing may hereafter arise, tile views of tne government in the matter: "First.—The execution of this document cannot be taken to exempt you in the slightest degree from personal and indi vidual liability for such complicity as a duo investigation and trial may show that you had In the late conspiracy against the government and the consequent loss of lfe; which portion Is recognized by you in your letter. "Second—It cannot bo conceded that such rights and claims as you voluntarily relinquish havo had any legal existence of lifo, which portion is recognized by since January 24, 1893, when, by your an nouncement that you no longer consld ered yourself bound by the fundameneai la" of ♦He*1<»nd under which YOU took office, and by your acts in attcepttng by tho mere exercise of your own will to establish a new system of government contract existing between you and Hie people was dissolved, and all sovereign rigths therefore vested in you were lost. Tho statement by the members of your then cabinet that they could not control your proposed action, and their appeal to tho eiizens of Honolulu for assistance was the next step which led to a re. sumption by the people of the right of government. "Third—So far as your communication •may ho taken as a notice to tho disaffect ed that it Is your desire that the republic shall be recognized by them as the sole nnd lawful government of the country. It Is fully appreciated. In this connection your unfelflsh appeal for clemency for those who took part In the late insur rection, will receive full consideration. By order of the executive council.
