Shortly afterward the king told
Gibson of his intentions to make
Momno premier and foreign minister.
Gibson seemed to be amenable to this
idea, hut he was actually furious and
started a compaign through the newspapers
to dislodge Moreno. Raising
the ire of the planters, Gibson fueled
a fire that resulted in Moreno and the
king calling for Hawaiiana to throw
out or k i l l the planter sympathizers
and foreign interest groups on the
islands. 26/
As the threat of violence
increased, the kinq had second
thoughts and met with the United
•States minister, General J. M. Comly,
who told him: "Unless Moreno is
discharged, the diplomatic corps has
aqreed to ask their governments to
send warships and intercede to protect
the lives and property of their
nationals." 27/ Faced with the
p o s s i b i l i t y of war, intrusion on his
sovereignty and:
...worried by public calumny,
facing an anqry and aqitated
American minister, Kalakaua at
l a s t caught the message.
Reluctantly he dismissed Moreno.
In appointing a new cabinet, the
kinq again liberally sprinkled it
with faithful and dependable
Americans, and he retained the
indispensable Gibson. 28/
Events Leading to Cabinet Government,
1881 to 1887
Before this confrontation had
barely passed, it was announced at a
January 11, 1881, meeting of the
cabinet that the king planned to make
a world trip. The purpose of this
t r ip was "to explore ways by which
peoples from other countries could be
brought to Hawaii to help reverse the
population decline." 29/ Among the
people Kalakaua took with him, at the
insistence of the planter lobby, were
Charles H. Judd and William N.
Armstrong, a former New York lawyer.
who the king named "Commissioner of
Immigration for the expedition." 30/
Word of the expedition caused
concern to United States Secretary of
State James G. Blaine, who feared that
Kalakaua's taste for spending and need
for funds might cause him to **11 pert
of his kingdom to a foreign country.
31/ Blaine wrote "to the American
ministers in the countries the king
intended to v i s i t t e l l i n g them to
watch the a c t i v i t i e s of Kalakaua
closely, and Instructed them to Inform
any foreign power to which the king
might offer to s e l l a portion of his
kingdom that such a transfer would not
be allowed by the United State*." }2J
While v i s i t i n g Italy, the king was met
by the ousted Moreno. Armstror-i and
Judd discovered that Moreno wa;.
attempting "to get all the European
countries to guarantee (the] independence
of the Hawaiian Kingdom."
Armstrong and Judd "warned the
countries that any such action would
be looked upon by America as an
interference in her sphere of
influence." 33/
The fears of a land sale wer«:
unrealized; the king never raised the
subject on his tour. Instead, whlle

wealth and cultures, Armstrong pushed
the planters' view that only laborers
were wanted in Hawaii, not a
migration. The Advertiser, a
pro-Hawaiian newspaper, commented:
"[h]e is obviously endeavoring to
hinder any migration except that of
cheap plantation labor although his
instructions from the king are that he
is to bring families for repopulating
the Islands." 34/ This point seemed
to have been verified when, durinq the
king's trip, ships arrived in Hav; 11

had arranged as consignment for

immigrants were found to be carrying
smallpox. Even though the ships flew
