WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The suppressed
dispatch (No. 81 which Minister Willis
sent to his Government has finally been
given to Congress. 1t is full of astound-
ing revelations and reads as follows:
No. 3.-Mr Willis to Secretary Ores

Honolulu, November 10Th, 1S93-Sir:
In the forenoon of Monday, the 18th
inst, by Encouragement, the Queen,
accompanied by the royal chamberlain,
Mr.. Robertson, called at the legation.
No one was present at the half hoar IN
terview which followed, her chamber
lam having been taken to another room,
and Consul-General Mills, who had iu-
vited her to come, remained in the front
of the house to prevent interruption.
After formal greeting the Queen was
informed that the President of the
United States had important commune
cations to make to her and she was
asked whether she was willing to re-
ceive them alone and in confidence, as
surfing her that this was for her own in
terest and safety. l then made known
to her the Presidents sincere regret that
through the unauthorized intervention
of the United States she had been
obliged to surrender her sovereignty,
and his hope that with her consent and
cooperation the wrong done to her and
her people might be redressed. To this
she bowed her Acknowledgements.
then said to her: "The President ex-
poets and believes that when reinstated
you will show forgiveness and magnani-
nifty; that you will wish to be the
Queen of all the people, both native and
foreign born; that you will haste to
secure their love and loyalty, and
to establish peace, friendship and
good government" To this she made
no reply. After waiting moment, l
continued: 1.-The President not only
wishes to help you, but tenders you his
sympathy. Before fully making known
to you his purposes, desire to know
whether you are willing to answer GER
tain questions which it is my duty to
ask ?" She answered 81 am willing"
l then asked "Should you be restored
to the throne. would you grant full am
nesty, as to life and property, to all
those persons who have been or who are
now in the Provisional Government, or
who have been instrumental in the over.
throw of your Government She hes.
itated a moment, and then slowly and
calmly answered: "There are certain
laws of my Government by which l will
abide My decision would he as the law
directs, that such persons should be be-
headed and their property confiscated to
the government" | then said, repeating
very distinctly her words: at is then
your feeling that these people should be
beheaded and their property confiscat-
ed ~ She replied: 1T is = then said
to her: "Do you fully understand the
meaning of every word have said to
you and of every word which you have
said to me, and if so, do you still have
the same opinion Her answer was
81 have understood and mean all have
said, but might leave the decision of
this to my ministers" Irepled: Sup
pose it was necessary to make a decision
before you appointed any minister, and
that you were to be asked to issue gen.
eral proclamation of royal amnesty, you
would do it?" She answered.: II have
no legal right to do that, and / would
not do it," Pausing moment, she
continued: "These people were the
cause of the revolution and constitu-
tion of 1887. There will never be any
peace while they are here. They must
be sent out of the country, or punished
and their property contscated. l then
said: II have no further communities
zion to make to you now, and Will have
none until | hear from my Cove nment,
which will probably be in three or -four
weeks"
Nothing was said for several minutes,
when asked her whether she was will
ing to give the names of four of hel
most trusted friends, as | might, within
day or two consider it my duty to hold
a consultation with them in her pres
ence. She assented and gave these
names: j. o. Carter, John Richardson
Joseph Nawahi and E. @. Macfarlane.
| then inquired whether she had any
fears of her safety at her present resi-
dence, Washington Place. She re-
piled that she did have some fears, thai
while she had trusted friends thai
guarded her house every night they
were armed only with clubs, and tha
men shabbily dressed had often beer

formed her that / was authorized b,
the President to offer her protection
either ON one of our warships or at thu
legation, and desired her to accept tn,
offer at once. She declined, saying sh,
believed il was best for her at presen
to remain at her own residence.
then said to her that at any moment
night or day. this offer of our Govern
ment was open to her acceptance. Tn
interview thereupon, after some per
sonal remarks. was brought to close
j need hardly add in conclusion tina
the tension of feeling is so great tina
the promptest action is necessary t.
prevent disastrous consequences.
