26/ With respect to the statement
that Celso Moreno and the king called
"for Hawaiians to throw out or kill
the planter sympathizers and foreign
interests groups on the Islands,"
Congressman Daniel Akaka commented:
"It is difficult to believe Kalakaua
capable of such intrigue and scheming"
(Akaka's Comments, p. 5).
Shortly after Celso Moreno was
installed as a member of the Hawaiian
Cabinet with the title of Minister of
Foreign Affairs in 1880, posters in
his support came out in all parts of
Honolulu. They were addressed to "All
true-born citizens of the country" and
asked them to support Moreno: "His
intention is to cast down the foreigners
and put in their places the
true Hawaiians..." (K. D. Mellen, An
Island Kingdom Passes,p. 91 (1958);
Copy of entire poster in Blount Rept.,
H. Ex. Doc. No. 47, 53rd Cong., 2d
Seas., p. 183 (1893).
Robert W. Wilcox, a Hawaiian who
supported Moreno and attended a mass
meeting of citizens to discuss the
Moreno appointment, proclaimed that
"foreigners were stirring up confusion
for their own evil purposes.•." (E. M.
Damon, Sanford B. Dole, p. 156
(1957)). Sanford Dole, who attended
the mass meeting, reported his
feelings to his brother George. Dole
wrote: "Robert Wilcox...probably
egged on by the king...appears to wish
the destructin of white men..."
(Ibid., p. 157).
A first-hand account by James M.
Comly, the U.S. Minister Resident to
Hawaii (1877-1882), discusses the
Moreno incident of 1880 in some
detail, particularly in Dispatch No.
122, dated 21 August 1880 from
Honolulu. Comly reports that the
British, American, "Hawaiian citizens
who were natives of the United
States," and German residents of
Hawaii presented memorials "to interfere
for the protection of [their]
interests, and demand the dismissal of
the new Cabinet, as a menance to
[their] capital invested here."
Comly, who had informed the king of
strong opposition to Moreno, mentions
a discussion held by him and others in
which "the general impression seemed
to be that Moreno intended personal
violence if I did not give way."
With respect to the role of the
king it appears that at the very least
he was highly sympathetic to Moreno's
points of view. Kalakaua stated to
Minister Comly: "Mr. Moreno had shown
himself to be a very entertaining
companion, a man of large and novel
views in political and state affairs;
that he had been frequently surprised
to find out how exactly Mr. Moreno's
views coincided with his own; and that
he [had] put him in office because of
this harmony and sympathy..." (Comly
Dispatch, No. 122).
The dispatches of Minister Comly
pertaining to the Moreno affair and
its sequel include Nos. 104, 113, 121,
122, 131, 136, 141 and 149. "The
Moreno affair of 1880 is one of the
most curious and at the same time one
of the most important incidents in
Hawaiian history...These dispatches of
General Comly are an important
contribution to the history of the
reign of Kalakaua" (Hawaiian Diplomatic
Correspondence, Historical
Commission of the Territory of Hawaii,
