OF dispatch No are all referred To in "A dis

there seems TO be no longer reason for With

The correspondence is quite extern
sive and a summary-brief but com
RECOMMENDATIONS. The instructions
of Janrary II, 1894, spoken CT in the
message, are now on their way to
Minister Willis per steamer Mariposa,
which sailed from San Francisco on
January IA. The instructions compli-
ment Mr.. Willis upon his earnest Ell
forts TO comply with previous instruc-
tions; regret that the provisional gov
eminent refuses to accede TO the prop
osition to restore the queen to the
throne; deny that President Cleveland
ever posed as an arbitrator in the
technical sense; assert that the sub
version of the Hawaiian government
by United States officials was in viola
ton of international law and made it
necessary for the President TO disavow
the action and restore lawful author
ity. These instructions then speak of
the reference of the entire matter by
the President to Congress, and are
signed by Secretary Gresham.
MIR. Willis last dispatch which called
forth the instructions contained copy
of President Dole's reply TO the de-
mand that Queen Liliuokalui be re-
stored. Mr.. Dole's reply is very able
document.
The remaining communications sent
to congress are principally regarding
Minister Willis interviews with the
eX-queen. Under date of November Is,
he says he presented TO her President
Cleveland's demand that if she was re-
stored she should grant amnesty TO all
who assisted in her overthrow and sup
ported the provisional government.

that she would behead them and con-
fiscate their property. Mr.. Willis then
asked further instructions. Later eX-
Marshal c. B. Wilson called upon Mr..
Willis with plan of procedure for the
restoration. list of advisers accom-
panied. Mr. Willis says the list was
not composed of men who could be re-
lied upon in the interests of good gov

The Americans, who for over half a
century, held a commanding place in
the councils of state, are ignored, and
other nationalities, English especially,
are placed in charge.
The eX-queen's advisers evidently
succeeded in getting her to alter her
intention regarding the beheading OF
her enemies, for under date of Deem
Der Is Mr.. Willis sends a letter from
the eX-queen granting full amnesty to
all.
