| the United States should endeayor
| to repair the wrong; that the pro-
| visional government has remained q
mere executive council Or oligarchy
set UP without the consent of the
people, and has given no evidence of
its intention to assume a republican
Ior constitutional form. Indeed, it says,
the people Of Hawaii are unit for pop
ular government. In view of the I'M
authorized action OF its minister tie
United States cannot fail to vindicate
its honor and sense of justice by an
earnest effort to make all possible
PREPARATION. This, the president says,
is especially encumbent in the fact
that the queen surrendered to the
United States, not to the provisional gov
ent:-Surrendered, not absolutely
and permanently. but with the under
standing that the United States was
to judge of the facts. This was done
with the consent of the provisional
government, and at the suggestion Of
persons connected with it, who used
1T as an argument to secure her abdi
cation. telling her that she could al
ways rely on the honor of the United
States. In view Of the further fact
that the provisl nal government was
set up with the connivance of a repre-
sentative of the United States, it has
been considered just to require pledges
for the safety Of all members of the
provisional government in case of the
restoration Of the queen. Minister
Willis was given instructions to this
effect, the idea being a general am
nesty and Il recognition of the. acts
Of the provisional government. But
those conditions did not prove accept
able TO the queen and, though Willis
was instructed that unless acceded to,
the president would cease his efforts
toward the restoration of the queens
government, no advices so far indi-
cate that she has yielded. The
president in conclusion therefore sub
mits all the facts including Blount's
report the instructions given him and
Minister Willis and the correspondence
connected With the affair to the dis
erection and the larger powers of con-
@ress.
IN his letter of transmission TO the
senate the president Withholds as in
compatible with public welfare, the
messages from Minister Willis.
The first document Of Importance
transmitted by the president is his in
structiolis TO Willis. They tell him to
follow BlOunt'S report; TO see the
queen as soon Us he arrives: tell her
the annexation treaty will not be re-
turned to the senate; advise her Of the
desire OF the United States to undo
the wrong done by Stevens, but that,
as Il condition to the restoration, she
must grant universal amnesty. If she
refuses, Willis is to report the fact
and await instructions. This last con-
ditiOn was insisted on i'll 4 later tele
gram and Dec. Sd, Gresham tele-
graphed Willis that not only must am
nesty be granted but the queen must
assume all the legitimate obligations
Of the provisional government; that
unless she did this he would cease all
efforts toward her restoration
