relating to the Hawaiian imbroglio con-
tanned one letter that melted the charac-
tcrizat.ion OF remarkable" Ivy the cxccu-
tive. Clcvcland's message was short and
except that one comment on Dole's letter
contained nothing but the announcement
that this was the correspondence UP to
date. The correspondence contained Mt
least two "salty" letters. The first is one
from Dole which begins and goes on nj
great length with IA charge that the min.
is,cr and Cleveland are responsible for the
condition Of the islands.
These charges nrc not definite. They are
made in such words as follows; II desire 10
