Mr.. Whistles. sir. Gentlemen, good
| day.
Preceding the demand of Minister Willis
correspondence which is already known
in the United States. occurred between the
provisional government and Minister Will
lis In IL Willis was asked if Gresham's
letter to Cleveland was correct Willis re-
/ piled. declining TO discuss the subject, tor
diplomatic reasons.
Under date OF December Is President
Dole wrote 20 Willis. saying he had been
Informed Willis was in communication
with the ex-queen with view tofe-estab-
fishing the monarchy. Dole asks Willis ii
he is scting in any way hostile TO the pro-
visionai government. saying: II appreciate
| duly the fact that such an act on your
part, in view of your official relations with
this government. would seem impossible. !"
To this Willis replied the next day, saying
he had q communication to submit TO the
| provisional government
The reply Of the provisional governments
was drafted by President Dole, and con-
tanned between 5000 and 5000 words. Ii
| Is an able document. and states the case of
Hawaii in no pleading form. One
| of the strong points of the reply
is that the ex-queen's point of amnesty 10
not touched. The president and govern
ment being prepared for resistance. are of
the opinion that side issues cannot be
justly raised by either Mr.. Cleveland or
the monarchy.
Mr.. !. A. Thursson, Hawaiian minister
to the United States. leaves here tomor-
row by the steamer Pcking for Washing
ton City. He will take with him q copy
of the governments reply TO Mr. Willis,
which up TO tho present hour has been
| refused to tho press. In conversation
with President Dole IL is learned that
this refusal Is q diplomatic point not to
! publish the answer before it has been In
the hands OF President Cleveland. / have
| been assured. however. that should the
| president of the United States delay de-
| livery of this document. IL will at once be
| made public on the arrival of Minister
! Thurston by the steamer Peklng, due TO
| leave hero TO morrow.
The news received here TO date has re-
| ceived various comment. The royalists
still assert that they believe the restora-
| ton will be accomplished by Cleveland,
and the annexationists as conn.
| IDENTIFY declare that no restoration
shall take place. The situation has, ia
| fact settled into one Of glaring defiance,
| in which the royalists themselves admit
| they would have no show unless aided by
| the forces of the United States.
| The proposition for the establishment OF
! q republic here, said TO have been brought
\ down by Minister Thurston and MIR. IL. ".
/ Castle, of the A9serftser, is absolutely
| denied By both of these gentlemen.
| To the Associated Press Mr.. Thurxson
/ said: such an idea never entered our
/ heads Why should it, We are now aa
/ established government We have been
/ recognized BY both the United States
4 and Russia. and TO establish
republic would be bat "a renoance reccg-
/ milton we nov have. This we do not pro-
I pose 70 do. Deny IL absolutely and give
/ il the widest publication. concluded Mr..
[ Thurston.
When interviewed Mr.. Castle took the
same view. lie said: ''You can see what
my views are from the columns OF
/ the Adrertiser. While. ike Thurs
ton, am q Has allan. born an American.
I am not here 20 compromise unless our
national mother. America, goes completely
back on us. which don't believe American
| patriotism would tolerate"
As far as the financial condition Of ths
government can be determined. IL is ono
OF increasing security. Taxes are lowing
Ia. aud the determined stand taken has
caused deposits ia postal savings banks
| To largely increase during the past month.
Afaister Damon is hopeful that IL no all
verse action is taken by cong grsss that .
permanent semi-Ameriean form Of govern
! ment can ultimately be established hers
which will ba the forerunnsr OF stable
government in unstabis Hawaii.
