The Honorable Francis NJ. Hatch,
Minister OF Foreign Affairs OF the Re-
public OF Hawaii, Honolulu.
AT 1920 this morning a messenger
from United States Minister Willis
placed in the hands of Major Potter at
the Executive building letter ad-
dressed to Mr.. Hatch, Minister of
Foreign Affairs. The letter was i'm
mediately referred to Mr.. Hatch, and
the Cabinet being in session at the time,
was taken up. The letter proved to be
from Minister Willis and bore this
days date.
The Minister began by stating to Mr..
Hatch that he has letter from Presi'
dent Cleveland to President Dole which
he will deliver at any time the Presi-
dent may name. The Minister goes on
to say that his course in recognizing
the Republic of Hawaii has been APP
proved by the Government of the
United States.
The letter from President Cleveland
to President Dole is unquestionably a
formal recognition of the Republic by
the President of the United States, and
follows the notification submitted to
him by President Dole on July 4th.
The reasons for assuming the letter to
contain the recognition are three in
number:
First-The State Department at Wash
ington has approved Minister Willis
course in recognizing the Republic.
standardization Cleveland sends a
personal reply to President Dole's notifi-
cation of the establishment of the Re.
public on July 4th.
Third-The State Department has
officially received Mr.. Hastings as Sec
rotary of Legation and Charge d.
Affaires for the Republic of Hawaii.
Respecting the third point mentioned
above, Mr.. Hatch informs the STAR that
the Government has received a letter
from Secretary w. q. Gresham stating
that Mr.. F. p, Hastings has been otfi-
cially received by the State Department.
