Queen Without Foro~. but LnIuokalAni
 Refused to Accept the Amnesty condI-
 tions-
 WASHINGTON, Dec Ip-The presidents Hawaiian policy, with all the accompany ing correspondence since March 4, 1882 with a special message, was spread before congress. The message in a vigorous man. ner presents to congress the basis for the presidents belief that the overthrow of the queen was the result of the active eff forts of ex-Minister Stevens. Having as serted that the United States was respon. sible for the revolt, the message then deals with the moral obligation of this govern, ment to right what it finds to be a wrong In forcible terms Mir. Cleveland says he much mistakes the wishes of the American people if they desire international question, settled in any other tn an the highest stand ards of morality and justice.
 The president then outlines the steps which he regarded as essential in pursuing this course of justice. In doing so he dis closes for the first time the exact nature oi the instructions given to Mir. Willis. The latter was instructed to advise the queen that this country desired to repair the
 
 throne, but Mir. Willis was cautioned to bt explicit on the fact that the restoration must not be followed by the punishment of those who had taken part in the revolu tton and in the formation of the provision al government, or by the repudiation o the governmental obligations regularly made by the provisional authorities.
 This last feature of the message clears uI the mystery of the long delay in Minister ISf all A1, the first time that Queen Liliuokalani ha. been the obstacle in the way of the accom- plishment of Mir. Cleveland's purpose. Tn, message states that the queen declined tC accede to the condition of amnesty. Sh, was repeatedly informed that it was thi only basis of interference on the part O this government, and that unless she ac ceded all efforts toward her restoration would be abandoned. But Mir. Cleveland says that as yet he has no information tha she will accept the terms
 MT. Willis Instructions.
 The confidential instructions to Minister | Willis under date of Oct. Is, which eluci date the presidents position, go carefully into the grounds upon which the admins tration decided that the revolution of Jan uary was accomplished by the intervention of the armed force of the United States anl the efforts of Mir. Stevens, and that nation al honor demands that reparation shall b, | made by the restoration of the statu uut ! existing prior to the revolution. He is in | structed to inform the queen that the an neNation treaty withdrawn by MT. Cleve land from the senate on March will no be again sent to the senate, and that Mir | Cleveland regrets the reprehensible con i duct of the American minister which mad the revolution possible.
 Mir. Willis, however, is instructed |, make the granting of a general amnesty tt 1 the members and supporters of the provi | sional government and the assumption O the obligations of that government a con | dition precedent to her restoration. Hay i ing secured the acquiescence of the queer i to this condition, the provisional govern i ment was to be informed that it was ex pected to relinquish to the queen her con i stitutiOnal authority. In case the queeI refused to accept the condition or the pro visional government declined to retire l MT. Willis was instructed to report thu l facts and await further directions. Tn general tenor of the instructions indicate! that the president seemed confident tha ! no such contingencies would arise No in structions to use force are included in thi letter, the only discretionary power lodge, l with the minister being in the concluding sentence, which tells Mir. Willis that in tn execution of his instructions he must b guided largely by his own good judgment The letter of Nov. 16, in which Ministe Willis reports the condition of affair which he found existing upon his arriva and the difficulties which beset the path 0 restoration, is not included in the core spondence, Mir. Cleveland deeming the pub lication of that letter incompa' lie wit the public interest. The message prope concludes Us follows:
