The GOVERNMENTS Reply.
The reply of the provisional govern
ment was drafted by President Dole and

United States. The proposition for the
establishment of q republic here. said to
have been brought down by Minister
Thurston and Mr.. II. n. Castle. of the
Advertiser. is absolutely denied by both
these gentlemen.
