Failed Most DIsmnIfy.
When Mr.. Daggett, ex-United States
MiDister to Hawaii. returned some months
ago. it was announced that be had been
intrusted by King Kalaksua with q secret
mission to Washington, and Mr.. Daggett
was not adverse to having the story be-
lieved that his business was TO treat for
the annexation Of the islands. From time
to time this sensational story has been
revived, in dispatches from Washington
and otherwise. The Honolulu Bulletin
OF the 10th instant is at hand. and gives
the following interesting informstion:
"a letter from Washington has been
shown TO us, which reveals the burden of
the mission of Mr.. Daggett, ex-Minister
Resident OF the United States in Hawaii,
from the government Of this kingdom to
the United States Government, ct the
close OF his term here. The commission
intrusted to Mr.. Dsggett was simply In
relation to an old claim OF this Govern
ment against the American Government.
At the date Of the latter referred to. Mr..
Daggett had left Washington for San Fran
cisco, having been authoritstively advised
TO abandon his mission. From the ex-
traordinary course pursued by the
Hawaiian Government-that Of sending

be as extensively circulated through the

report OF Mr.. Daggets having been com.
missioned to treat for the sale OF the isl.
