Preceding the demand of Minister
Willis for the surrender. Minister Dole
wrote him asking as to the authenticity
| of the reported letter of Secretary Ores
ham. outlining the policy of the Ameri-
| can government.
To this Mr.. Willis replied:
las to the letter of Mr.. Gresham, |
| have the honor to call your attention to
the fact that it IS communication from
a member Of the cabinet to the preSi-
dent Of the United States, and, being a
domestic transaction, is not the subject
of diplomatic representations.
| auSNCIlIIS YOUR HUG

in my power, at present. to inform you
of the views or intentions of the United
States. The president earnestly de-
sires a speedy settlement of YOUR
| troubles, and will, in my opinion, be
| ready to make known his purpose as
soon as he is informed of certain mat
tiers recently submitted to him."
Dole then sent the following TO
| Willis:
''Sir: I am informed that you are in
communication with Liliuokalani, the
| eX-Queen, with view of re-eStabliShing
| the monarchy in the Hawaiian Islands,
! and of supporting her pretensions to
| the sovereignty. Will you inform ME
| If this report is true, or if you are
acting in any way hostile to this gov
| ernment? l appreciate fully the fact
| that any such action on your part would
seem impossible, but as the information
has come to me from such sources that
l am compelled to notice it, you will
pardon me for pressing you for al i'm
mediate answer.
To this Mr.. Willis does not seem to
have replied, but he sent a letter to
| Dole telling him ne had communica-
ton rom the United States to submit,
which has been previously given in this
dispatch.
The reply of the provisional govern
ment was drafted by President Dole.
ard contains between five and six hun
dred words. 1t is an able document,
| and states the case of Hawaii in
no pleading form. One of the strong
points of the replyis that the ex-queen's
point of amnesty is not touched. The
president and government being pre-
pared for resistance, are of the opinion
that side issues cannot be justly raised
CIV either Mr.. Cleveland or the mon
archy.
