HIS CORDIAL LETTER TO DOLE

Minister Willis Calls ON the Hawaiian
President and Presents Him with the
Letter Of Recognition Of tho Republic
by the United states.
SAN Francisco, September 5.-Advices
by the steamship Belgic from Honolulu
under date OF August % say:
Minister Willis called on President
Dole yesterday, and presented him with
CIeveland's letter Of recognition Of the
Republic. The Cabinet, as well as Min
lister Thurston, were present. Minister
Willis addressed the President as follows:
"The right Of the people Of the Ha-
waiian Islands to establish their own
form OF government has been formally
acknowledged both by the executive and
the legislative departments of the United
States. 1t seemed proper for me there
fore, 60 far as /, the diplomatic agent,
had the right TO extend to the Republic
of Hawaii, it having been created under
the forms OF law and existing without
effective opposition. The action thus
taken has, am glad to state, been fully
approved by the proper authorities at
Washington. As the highest evidence
OF that fact have received an autograph
letter from the President, addressed to
you as President Of this Republic. In
delivering this letter, as instructed, per-
init me to Join in its friendly sentiments
and TO express the hope that through
the government now inaugurated peace,
prosperity and happiness will be secured
TO all the people Of these Islands,"
He then presented the following letter
from President Cleveland, signed by Sec
retary Gresham, and addressed to San
ford B. Dole, President OF the Republic
OF Hawaii:
"Great and Good Friend: have re-
ceived your letter Of the 7th ultimo, by
which you announce the establishment
and proclamation Of the Republic of Ha-
waii July 4, 1894, and your assumption
OF the office OF President with all the
formalities prescribed by the constitu-
ton thereof. / cordially reciprocate the
feelings you express for the continuance
OF the friendly relations which have ex-
listed between the United States and the
Hawaiian Islands, and assure you of my
best wishes for your personal prosper
ity."
In reply to this letter President Dole
said to Minister Willis:
1t is with sincere qualification that l
have received the information that the
President of the United States has con-
firmed the recognition SO promptly ex-
tended by your excellency to the Repub-
lie OF Hawaii. Permit me on behalf OF
the Hawaiian people to reciprocate the
friendly sentiments expressed by you to-
ward this government and to assure you
of our desire that the relations OF comfy
and OF commercial intercourse, which
shall be mutually advantageous, may
ever exist between the two countries"
The confirmation OF the reported recog-
milton has taken the wind out of the
royalist sails, and even the most rabid OF
them acknowledge that the career OF the
ex-Queen is now ended. One prominent
royalist, who expressed the views OF
many, said last evening"
The recognition is complete. We
must acknowledge that fact. But If the
royalist commission, consisting OF Parker,
Wildemann and Cummings, had never
gone to Washington the Republic would
never have been recognized. They have
ruined the Queens cause as thoroughly
as though they had taken request from
the Queen for annexation"
A slight trouble seems to be brewing
| in the government camp in spite OF the
recognition news. The Schutzen Club,
an organization originally formed by
German supporters OF the provisional
government, but which has since grown
| to q large size and has taken in all nation
alities, has sent set OF resolutions to
the government announcing that II some
OF their members are not given govern
ment positions at once, the club, as a
body, will withdraw its support from the
powers that be. No answer has been
sent yet, and the matter will come up in
the Council tomorrow. The first elec-
ton under the Republic will be held
during the last week in October, when
Senators and Representatives will be
elected. Every inducement is being of.
fered to make the natives register, and
they seem to be rapidly falling into line
