Today—28 April—in Hawaiian history [1893]: Following the January 1893 overthrow of Queen LiliÊ»uokalani, HawaiÊ»i Island Sheriff George Williams sends a letter to... the Hamakua School Agent William Horner asking him for the names of possible candidates to fill the positions of Truant Officers Sam Kamae and J. Waiohinu. The two men are being fired from their positions for being members of Ka Hui HawaiÊ»i Aloha ʻĀina [The Hawaiian Patriotic League], a group loyal to Queen LiliÊ»uokalani and the continuation of Hawaiian independence.
Transcription of letter:
"As it is the policy of the Police Department at the present critical time, not to allow any person to derive any pecuniary benefit from the Govt. who is a member of the so called Hawn. Patriotic League, whose object is undoubtedly to reinstate Mrs. Dominis as Queen, I would request you to submit two names for Truant Officers, in place of Sam Kamae and J. Waiohinu who are members of said League, and whose Commissions I shall have to recall. It is not necessary for officers to sign the annexation roll but they must not oppose the P.G. [Provisional Government] or its Policy. I would suggest that perhaps Dep. Sheriff Moanauli may be of assistance to you in finding suitable persons. I shall do nothing until I hear from you."
