INSTRUCTIONS.
Concluded from First Pnge1

sioner Blount, the substance of which has
already been published, is also transmitted.
FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ASKED.
Under date Of Nov. g. 1893, Minister Will
lis reports his arrival, and on Nov. IL he
transmits a confidential letter to Secretary
Gresham. He expected to interview the
Queen, and had assured the British COM
missioner that the Queen would be pro-
tected from any attempt at assassination,
and the next Monday he would insist upon
her coming to the legation. He reported
that the town is in a state of excitement.
His letter Of Nov. 16, which called out the
changed instructions in the State Depart
ment, reads: Views of first party ex-
treme as to require further instructions"
The words first party of course, refer
TO the ex-Queen. Under date of Nov. 1S
Minister. Willis reports that Mr.. Da-
rnon,, Minister of Finance, had called to
kalakaua's birthday. In view of these
facts" Mr.. Willis says Il thought ii
proper. in an informal way, to make public
the fact that there would be no decisive
action by our government for three or four
weeks. or until 1 had heard from Washing
ton. l thought it proper. with the private
knowledge and consent OF all factions to
say that mob violence would not be al
lowed during the interval" Many citizens
and the representatives of foreign govern
ments had called to congratulate him on
this step and its good effects.
The last incloSure OF the correspondence
is the letter from Minister Thurston to
Secretary Gresham, dated Dec. 3. Mr.
Thurston claims for the provisional govern
ment that IL is duly organized and fully
recognized and independent government
He denies that the provisional government
had submitted to the President the power
to arbitrate the case as between them
selves and Queen Lilioukalani. He COM
plains that his government has received no
notice that it was on trial for its life. and
has had no chance TO bring witnesses to
refute those OF Mr.. Blount. He argues that
the provisional government, in its procla-
nation. has fixed no termination for itself
hut annexation to the United States, and
denies that II can be said to terminate with
the refusal of annexation. If United States
representatives exceeded their power in the
United States government to again do the
same. And. If the eX-cueen abdicated un-
der the belief that the provisional govern
ment would submit 10 the arbitration OF
jurisdiction on the United States without
the consent of the provisional government
In Transmitting the Hawaiian CORE
President Cleveland said: I'm compliance
with a resolution of the House, l hereby
transmit a report, with copies OF the in
representative OF the United States now
I'm the Hawaiian islands, and also the cor
respondence since the 4th day of March
1889 concerning the relations of this gov
ernment TO those islands. In making this
communication / have withheld only n dis
patch from the former minister to Ha-
waii. No. 20. under date of Oct. s. 1892 and
dispatch from the present minister. No.
g. under date OF Nov. 16, 1893, because. in
my opinion. the publication of these two
papers would be incompatible with the pub
lie interests.
The dispatch OF Nov 16, 1893, Is. without
doubt the detailed Information OF the de-
velopments which prompted Minister VIII
lis's telegraphic dispatch on the same date
