Words of Alapaki Kauka

Here are some statements made by A. F. Judd at the Armory on 25 November 1893: “Either we work together or we will hang one by one.”

We ask A. F. Judd: “Will your working together save you all from hanging one by one because of your treason?”

We assure you, O A. F. Judd, that Queen Liliuokalani will indeed be reinstated in these coming days: “Can you show us reasons why this belief of ours lacks truth?”

Is it not true that you and your people know the clear reason for you all being terminated in the Provisional Government? Why have you falsely announced in the Kuokoa that the Queen will not be returned?
