political affairs in Hawaii, except such
as have been heretofore transmitted to

tions sent on Jan. IL, 1894, being the
only instructions to him that have not
been sent to congress. In my former
message to congress l withheld dis
patch No 3, under date of Nov 10,
1893, and also dispatch No. 20 under
date of Oct 8, 1898.
''Inasmuch as the contents of dis
patch No. 3 are all referred to in a dis
patch of more recent date, ana mas
much as there seems to be no longer
reason for withholding il, the same is
herewith submitted. Dispatch No. 20
is still withheld for reasons that seem
to be justifiablc and proper.
