in a brief note of transmittal to-day sub
mitted to Congress the latest correspond
ence relating to Hawaii. 1t comprises
some brief notes of Minister Willis to
Secretary Gresham, which are unimpor-
ant.
The chief features of 1t are letters
passing between Minister Willis and
President Dole, in one Of which the
Minister complains of an utterance of
President Dole as rejecting on the Pres
ident of the United States.
These utterances are found in n letter
from President Dole. in which he spe-
officially inquiries II Minister Willis's In
structions authorized the Use of force.
In. this letter President Dole says to
Minister Willis:
"At the time Of your arrival in this
country the forces of this Government
were organized, n We're amply surti-
Client to suppress any. internal disorder.
After o arrival YOU made COM
munlcations regarding your policy which
were analogous, and for several weeks
you failed to disclose you Intentions.

mately be from the letter from Mr..
Gresham and the Presidents message.

States, and leave the United States to

be discharged.
Your language, expressed in public,
declared that you intended to perform

maintaining our policy.
In consequence of your attitude In this
behalf, the enemies Of the Government.

"Rumors of the intended landing of

been one of warfare, without the incident
