Had Been Sabverted

question that the constitutional
ent of Hawaii
Had Been Sabverted
with the active aid of our representative
to that government and through the intim-
idation caused by the presence of an armed
naval force of the United States which
was landed for that purpose at the in
stance Of our minister, Upon the facts
developed it seemed to me the only honora-
BILE course for our government to pursue
was to undo the wrong that had been done
by those representing US and to restore as
far as practicable the status existing at the
time of our forcible intervention With
view OF accomplishing this result within
the constitutional limits Of executive
power, and recognizing all our obligations
and responsibilities growing out of any
changed condition brought about by our
UnJustifiable Interference,
our present minister at Homo lulu has re-
ceived appropriate instructions to that
end. Thus far no information Of the ac-
complishment of any definite results has
been received from him. Additional adj
vices are soon expected, and when received
they will be promptly sent to congress, to-
gether with all other information at hand,
accompanied by a special executive mes
sage fully detailing all the facts necessary
to complete understanding of the case,
and presenting history of all the national
events leading up to the present situation.
