which the United States "condoned,
participated in or enjoyed the
benefits of the coercive activities of
the American expatriate group" which
is alleged to be chiefly responsible
for the 1887 Constitution (Comments by
Senator Daniel K. Inouye on the Draft
Report of Findings of the Native
Hawaiians Study Commission, pp. 14-15

added to explain that role.

61/ Kuykendall, Volume III, p.
352. The foregoing information is not
contained in James H. Blount's 1893
report. Neither Clarence Ashford "nor
Volney Ashford, in the statement which
he wrote for Commissioner Blount, say
anything about the Honolulu Rifles and
their part in the Revolution of 1887"
(Kuykendall, Volume III, p. 704, note
27). This is a critical omission in
light of the pivotal role of the
Honolulu Rifles with respect to the
adoption of the 1887 Constitution.
Specifically, the Honolulu Rifles
patrolled the streets of Honolulu and
arrested Walter Gibson, Kalakaua's
premier, just prior to the king's
assent to the formation of the cabinet
government. Kalakaua, who had called
out the Rifles himself on June 30,
1887, to keep order, had unwittingly
given official sanction to an army
that he discovered shortly afterwards
was unreliable. Fear of the worst
convinced the king to sign.
Obviously, concealment of the data
from Blount was beyond his control.
The salient point is that the absence
of this information from Blount's
report, for whatever reason, tends to
make it much less authoritative than
its proponents contend it is.
