naval forces now in the waters of the
Hawaiian Islands, and to all others
concerned, that any such acts of war or
hostility, if taken, attempted or
announced i'm the time OF pro-
found peace now existing between
the United States and the Hawaiian
Islands, or without full, formal and
timely announcement thereof, will
and would cause all concerned in au-
thorizing the same to be held respon-
sible for the consequences that may
ensue therefrom, not only before
Almighty God and in the forum of
conscience, but by all sanctioned rules
and observances of civilized nations in
their dealings with each other, and
will and would be in violation of the
rights of the undersigned, secured and
belonging to them as citizens of the
United States of America"
Next in order is letter of Mr..
Dole's withdrawing the contest pre-
viously given for the landing of United
States marines to drill when required.
Then follows Dole's inquiry about
the authenticity of Secretary Ores
hams letter of Oct. Is. and already
published, and Mr.. Willis reply that
the letter is domestic transaction,
not the subject of diplomatic repre-
sentation.
Mr.. Willis next dispatch to Sccre-
tary Gresham is interesting and new.
1t says. that one c. Il. Wilson, who was
the marshal to the queen at the time
of her dethronement, called upon him
and submitted method of proceed
ure" in the case of the restoration of
the queen to her throne. Mr.. Willis
asked him where he got any such in
formation. He said: Nowhere" but
he hoped for it, Mr.. Willis concludes:
IAN analysis Of the list of special adj
visers, whether native or foreign, is
not encouraging to the friends of good
government or of American interests
The Americans who for over
half century held com
handing place in the councils
of state are ignored, and other nation
alitics, English especially, are placed
in charge. This is true both of the
special list of advisers and of the sup
Elementary list. If these lists had
been selected by Wilson himself no
special Importance would attach 20
that it is list which has been APP
proved after consultation with leading
royalists and most probably with the
approval of the queen
The royalists wanted the American
forces to be landed and kept under
arms until the queens government had
been restored and that the members
of the provisional government should
be turned over to her as prisoners of
war.
After some other dispatches of no
public interest the correspond
ence comes down to the re-
ceipt of the instructions by the
Corwin, upon the receipt of which Mr..
Willis wrote Mr.. Gresham that the ey-
element consequent upon the arrival
of the Corwin is intense throughout
the city. The Presidents message.
which was published in the morning,
increased the excitement, but he
hoped no immediate outbreak would
occur
