MORE COMMENT ON Mr..
DOLE'S LABORS.
PART III.
fCommunicated.)

In Part IL, it was clearly
shown that there did undoubted-
" exist a mutual understanding
on the subject matter of arbitra-
ton between Queen Liliuokalani,
and Mr.. Dole and his satellites.
1t will now be most conclusively
shown, that the provisional gov
eminent did submit their claim to
the sovereignty of this country,
to the adjudication of the United
States" and also, that Mr.. Dole
and his satellites recognized the
Hon. J. II. BIount as an ARBITRA-
TOR.
Written S ia tie ents are
stubborn facts to deny. To
prove the falsity of Mr.. Dole's
denials regarding his govern
ments want of knowledge in
the matter of arbitration, It's
own expressions of opinion
as voiced through its organ the
Advertiser will be used. Those
sentiments as expressed Ia an
editorial, which appeared in the
Advertiser on the morning OF Mr..
Blount's departure from this city
after four months investigation
into our political affairs, are
noteworthy. 1t will not be of
any use for Mr.. Dole to deny the
fact, that, the statements contain
ed in the editorial referred to,
did unquestionably and undeni-
ably express the settled opinions
OF himself and his government,
on the subject matter of arbitra-
ton.
Mr.. Dole says, IAN arbitrator
can be created only by the act of
two parties.
You may not be aware, but
such is the fact, that at no time
until the presentation of the
claim of the President of the
United States of his right to in
interfere in the internal affairs of
this country, by you on Decem-
Der 10Th, has this government
been officially informed by the
United States government that
any such course was contemp-
lated. And not until the pub
LEGATION of Mr.. Gresham's letter
to the President of the United
States on the Hawaiian question,
had We any reliable intimation
OF such policy.
IF your contention that
President Cleveland believes
that this government and the ex-
queen have submitted their
respective claims to the sover-
eighty of this country, to the
adjudication of the United States
is correct, then, may l ask when
and where has the President
held his court of Arbitration?
This government has had no
notice of the sitting of such a
tribunal and no opportunity of
presenting evidence of its claims.
If Mr.. Blount's investigations
were part of the proceedings of
such court, this government
did not know it and was never
informed of it.
For a reply to the above
question and also to the untruth-
full allegations in the above quo
tations. Mr.. Dole's attention is
called TO the letter from Presi.
dent Cleveland handed to him by
Mr.. Blount. in which the "Presi-
dent informs Mr.. Dole. that Mr..
Blount IS my special Commits
sioner to visit the Hawaiian Is
lands and make report concern
ing the present status of affairs In
that country" The Court of Arbi-
tration was evidently then held
IN Honolulu. The following ex-
pressions from that-no doubt
inspired-editorial in the .A5ssr-
tisr throws a different view on
the matter in question. Mr..
Dole might also read them with
interest.
rs an arbitrator he Mr.
Blonntl placed upon one side
the ambitions of oontendinr
political factions and did his drts
70 his country without fear or
iayor by reporting fading of
tile facts. and leaving the burden
OF the great responsibility of
determining the future veal or
WOO Of the Hawaiian islands to
