CRIMES OF QUEEN LILIUOKALANI.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I.-Minister Willis
report was carefully guarded to-day. The
intention is to send it to Congress as soon
as 1t can be got ready, but it is net settled
yet whether the President VIII review the
situation or whether he Will merely trans
nit the report to Congress without COM
ment. The proba biltties are that he VIII
write message explaining the apparent
discrepancies and Inconsistencies between
his last special message to Congress and
the subsequent action by Minister Willis
in seeming conflict herewith.
=. Among the documents accompanying
Willis report is a copy OF the proclama-
tion of Queen LilluOkalani. pledging her.
p. self to the execution of the conditions i'm
posed by the President as essential to his
aid In her restoration. a copy of Minister
Willis address to President Dole and his
: Cabinet notifying them of the Presidents
decision and demanding their acQuiescence
therein. and copy of President Dole's re-
ply declining to accept President Cleve-
lands judgment in the matter.
The following is believed to be an accu-
: rate summary Of the reply of the Presi-
dent of the Provisional Government:
' President Dole begins by noting that
this is the first official communication
his Government has had intimating in
any way the policy of President Cleve-
land toward Hawaii. BY no action of his
Government has any matter connected
with the lata revolution been submitted
TO the authority of the United States.
This is carefully argued. No intimation
has ever been made to the Provisional
Government of anything having been
done or considered in the premises until
the alleged conclusion Of the President
now presented by Minister Willis. The
inside history Of the attempted revolution
of 1889 is recited aud of LiliuokalanT's par
ticipation therein. The opposition then
shown by her to the rights and interests
Of foreigners was, after her succession to
the throne, constantly emphasized. 1t be-
came violent during the latter part of
1892 as is shown by her perverse appoint
meu IS of Cabinets in opposition to the will
of the Legislature.
The events Of the last week Of her reign
are recited, the resuscitation of the de-
funct lottery bill and the removal of the
Wilcox Cabinet all through the Queens
personal influence President Dole also
Tectes the attempted coup d'etat, the ac-
ton of the committee of safety and the
two mass meetings of foreigners and
natives.
The committee deemed the presence of
American forces necessary for the pr otec-
ton Of life anc property, and requested
Stevens to land them. Dole denounces in
the strong gest terms the falsehoOd that Ste
vans was ever asked TO have his forces
assist 10 the revolution or that be ever did
So The Government disclaims having
ever authorized Damon or any other per
son to make terms for the Queens surren-
der, and denies that Damon ever reported
or was asked to report such terms. Damon
made those terms on bis own responsible
iry. Neither before or since the revolution
did the members Of the committee OF safety
confer with Stevens about the overthrow
of the Government
The Provisional Governments reply con-
cludes: This Government is responsible
only TO those who constituted and are now
maintaining it in power. It is amenable
TO no foreign power on earth. It has
always been faithful to its constituents.
and by no acts or intimation has it ever
offered to submit its rights to the United
States OF 10 any other power. For these
reasons this Government refuses to con-
slider tie proposition of Minister Willis"
= No sllusion is made by President Dole
to Willis appeals to their patriotism and
: moral sense nor to the terms of amnesty
secured from the ex-Queen.
