"Your dispatch telegraphed from
IAN Francisco, announcing the revo-
u,iOn and the establishment Of a
provisional government, WAS received

~ unopposed de facto government
appears to have been discreet and IN
accordance with the facts. The rule

been to recognize and enter int, re
ations with any actual government
10 full possession Of effective power
with the assent of the people. You
.ill continue to recognize the new
government under such conditions.
It is trusted that the change, besides
Inducing to the tranquility and
welfare Of the Hawaiian islands,
will tend to draw closer the intimate
les Of amity and common interests
which SO conspicuously and necessa-
riIy link themsto the United States.
You will keep In constant comma
picati0n with the comman der Of the
United States naval force at Homo
lulu with the view to acting, II need
be, for the protection Of the interests
an property OF American citizens
aud aiding In the preservation of
good order under the changed con
iition reported"

REC aNIzED BY THE BRITISH MIN.
IsTER.
The official announcement con-
tainei In Minister Stevens dispatch
to Secretary Foster, that the repre-.
senta ives Of all the foreign govern
ments would recognize the provis-
ional government Of Hawaii, Is
ev IDENTITY IN much u surprise to the
commissioners now here as Il was
TO the general public, as 1t may
properly be construed to include
the representatives OF Great Britain.
The commissioners say 1t Is prob
able that the British minister met
the United States minister aud
communicated verbally to him the
info nation that he had just before
not fed the officials Of the new gov
eminent Of his recognition or that
he intended doing SO, which gave
toMr. Stevens grounds for the state
ment contained In the dispatch.
The commissioners say they have
fu plwer to negotiate u treaty of
annex alton with the United States,
IN although they are not officially
recosnlzed by the government, yet
hey are encouraged to believe, from
lhe manner In which they have
been treated, that formal recog.
iition will soon follow.
