NEW YORK, August S.-A World
dispatch from Washington says: The
Republic of Hawaii has been formally
recognized by the United States
through the Secretary of State.
The Republican oyernment, 1t
will be remembered, was set up July 1.
On the following day Minister Willis
extended recognition, so far as it was
within his power, to the new Republic.
Mr.. Willis action has been dis
cussed, but no decision was reached
until today, when Secretary Gresham,
under direction of the President, sent
a formal note to the Minister apprOV-
ing his course.
Although the text of Mr.. Gresham's S
letter has not been made public, 1t is
understood that the President extend
ed to the new Republic the hearty
good wishes of the United States.
The Representatives of the dethroned
queen started for Washington as soon
as the new Republic was proclaimed,
and they have been here for several
days endeavOring to induce the State
Department to withhold recognition
and to insist that LiliuOkalani be eN-
tended the assistance of the Govern
ment in her efforts to regain power.
The action today dispOses of the whole
question and closes the unfortunate
diplomatic "incident.n
Secretary Gresham visited the Cap
itOl today and informed Senator Gray
of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee and Chairman McCreary or the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs
that the President had formally recog-
nized the Hawaiian Republic. No
official announcement was given out
for publication today, and for this rea.
son neither Senator Gray nor Me-
Creary would discuss the subject.
