And Claims the "Great Wrong" Could

Letters and Documents Construed in the
Interest of the DepOsed Monarchy
No Recommendation Made.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S-The Presidents
Hawaiian policy, with all the accompanying
correspondence since March 4, 1889, with a
special message, was spread before Con-
gress to-day. The message in a vigorous
manner, presents to Congress the basis for
the Presidents belief that the overthrow
of the Queen was the result of the active
efforts Of ex-Minister Stevens. Having as
serted that the United States was RESPONSE
BILE 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 Mr.. Cleveland says he
much mistakes the wishes of the American
people if they desire international questions
settled on any other than the highest stand
ards of morality and justice. The President
then outlines the steps which he regarded
as essential in pursuing this course of JUS
tice In doing so he discloses for the first
time the exact nature of the instructions
given to Mr.. Willis The latter was instruct
ed TO advise the Queen that this country
desired to repair the wrong done her by re-
storing her to the throne. But Mr.. Willis
was cautioned to be explicit in the fact that
the restoration must not be followed by the
punishment Of those who had taken part In
the revolution and in the formation of the
provisional government, or by .he repudia-
ton of the governmental obligations regu-
larry made by the provisional authorities
This last feature of the message clears
up the mystery of the long delay in Min
lister Willis's action, and it also makes pub
lie for the first time that Queen Liliuoka-
kalini has been the obstacle in the way of
the accomplishment of Mr.. Cleveland's pur-
pose. The message states that the Queen
declined to accede to the condition of the
amnesty. She was repeatedly informed that
il was the only basis of influence on the
part Of this government. and that unless
she acceded all efforts towards her restora-
ton would be abandoned But Mr.. Cleve-
land says that yet he has no information
that she will accept the terms. In concIud-
ing the message Mr.. Cleveland says that
the situation has now assumed such form
that he regards it desirable to turn the en-
tire subject over TO the broader authority
of Congress. and he adds that he will be
gratified to cooperate in any legislative So
luton of the question, which is based on
morality and justice.

THE CORRESPONDENTS.
Letters to and from the State and
NmxnI Departments.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-The State De-
partment correspondence on the Hawaiian
question, which was transmitted to-day,
is an immense volume of official dispatches,
a part of which has already been published
Under date of July 20, 1889, Minister Mer-
rill gives confidential information OF a plot
Of half-caste natives to depose King Kala-
kaua and proclaim Queen LilIuokalani. This
is what afterwards developed into the abor-
tive Wilcox revolution OF the same year.
Under date of Nov. 6, 1889, Secretary Blaine
transmitted to Minister Stevens the report
of Admiral Kimberly on the uneasiness OF
the natives, who were dissatisfied with the
new Constitution which had been wrung
from Kalakaua, and their fear OF further
aggression by the whites. The Admiral rec
ommends that a man-of-war be kept at
Honolulu during the February elections On
the same date Secretary Blaine asked Sec
rotary Tracy TO have a force in Hawaiian
waters.
Under date of March 20. 1890, Minister
Stevens begins his series of arguments for
some decisive steps to be taken by the
United States to insure the influence over
the islands long considered its right and
duty. In February, 1891. Minister Stevens
reports having gone TO the British COM
forts he was making to change the Consti-
tuition. The advice effective. The sue
ceeding portions Of the correspondence were

rison with the annexation treaty, and have

March s, 1892, in which he asks for instruc-
tons in the event of another insurrection
by the Wilcox party. then threatening, is
the note: "No answer was found TO this
dispatch" In the dispatch OF April ?. 1892,
Minister Stevens says: THE annexation
sentiment is growing rapidly and would
carry all before IL, provided they could get
any Encouragement that the United States
would take the islands a territory"
On Nov. 2. 1892. Minister Stevens reported
TO Secretary Foster that the American par
~ had won the ascendency after a pro-
longed struggle. The portion OF the CORE

The Message in Full.


Following is the full text of the Presi-
dents message on the Hawaiian situation:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tiyeS:
In my recent annual message to the Con-
gress L briefly referred to our relations
with Hawaii and expressed the intention of
transmitting further information on the sub
jet when additional advices permitted.
Though i am not able now to report def
mite change in the actual situation, l am
convinced that the difficulties lately Gre
ated both here and in Hawaii, and
standing In the way of solution, through
executive action, of the problem presented
render IL proper and eXpedient that the mat
ter should be referred 10 the broader au-
thorty and discretion Of Congress, with
a full explanation of the endeavor thus far
made to deal with the emergency and a
statement of the considerations which lave
governed my action.
1 suppose that right and justice should
determine the path to be followed in treat
ing this subject If national honesty is to
be disregarded and a desire for territorial
extension or dissatisfaction with a form of
government not our own, is 10 regulate our
conduct / have entirely Inexperienced the
mission and character of our government
and the behavior which the conscience of
our people demands of their public servants
When the present administration entered
upon its duties the Senate had under con-
sideration a treaty providing for the an
neXation of the Hawaiian Islands to the ter
ritory of the United states. Surely, under
our Constitution and laws the enlargement
OF our limits is manifestation o. the high
est attributes or sovereignty, and If en-
tered upon as an executive act. all things
relating the transactions should be clear
and free from suspicion. additional i'm
portance is attached 10 this peculiar treaty
OF annexation, because IL contemplated n de-
parture from unbroken American tradition
in providing for the addition u our terri
tory of islands Of the sea more than two
thousand miles removed from our nearest
coast These considerations might not, of
theusc'-es, call for interference with the
cOmrl, On Of treaty entered upon by a
previous Administrations; but il appeared
from the documents accompanying the
treaty when submitted to the Senate, that
the ownership OF Hawaii was rendered 10
us by n provisional government set up TO
succeed the constitutional ruler OF the
islands who had been dethroned. and IL did
not appear that such provisional govern
ment had the sanction OF either popular
revolution or suffrage.
EXTRAORDINARY HASTE"
Two other remarkable features of the
transaction naturally attracted attention.
one was the extraordinary haste-not 10
say cy-characteriZing all the
transactions connected with the treaty. 1t
appeared that so-called committee OF safe
ty ostensIbly the source Of the revolt
against the constitutional government of
Hawaii. was organized on Saturday, the
18th day OF January; that on Monday, the
10TH the United States forces were landed
at Honolulu from naval vessel lying in

The Farnham Post suspepsion.

To the Editor of Che Evening Star:
have no wish to incumber the columns Of
The STAR, but permit me, in justice to your
correspondent Sc, as well as myself, to state
that was sufficiently guarded in my statement
that il the action of the department commander
was correctly reported he exceeded his au-
thority in suspending Farnham Post. post
can only be suspended by an encampment or,
during a recess, by the joint action of the coun-
Gil of administration and the department COM
mander. The suspension was reported as the
individual act of the commander alone. As re-
CARDS the rule quoted by ''G.," that any COM
rade violating the rules shall be dishonorably
discharged this can only be done on conviction,
and it requires a court-martial to convict. This
regulation has no bearing on the Fainham case.
No one was convicted and nobody was dishonor-
ably discharged Posts have time and again
published resolutions passed in their secret ses-
sions-some of them in this city were pub
lished in The STAR-without asking approval Of
department headquarters. Nevertheless, if the
council of administration agreed to the suspen-
sion referred to (Which did not appear at the
time) such suspension was legal If, on the
other hand. as is now stated, headquarters
agreed to withdraw the suspension on condition
that the post apologize headquarters are guilty
Of trying to compound a violation of law.
