WASHINGTON, Aug. "a letter of
congratulation and greeting from Presi-
dent Cleveland in the name of the
United States is on the way to Presi-
dent Dole of Hawaii.
The recognition of the new republic
was finally decided upon this week,
and the message was framed and
mailed yesterday. A few days ago a
letter was received from President Dole,
conveying the formal announcement of
the proclamation OF a republic and the
Inauguration of the new Government.
The letter was laid before the Cabinet,
and has been under consideration while
the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs was debating whether it should
report revolution or recognition.
Frank p. Hastings, who, in the
absence of Minister Thurston, Charge
d'Affairs at the Hawaiian Legatation
here has been formally recognized as the
representative of the new Government.
Chairman McCreary of the House
! Committee on Foreign Affairs, says
that it is not customary to give pub
LEFTY to diplomatic correspondence
until 1t has reached its destination.
Consequently, the letter to President
Dole will not be made public until suffi'
cient time has passed for its reception.
The fact that the existence of the CORE
spondence has become known may in
duce the President to make it public.
The proceedings We're simple and
| formal. Minister Thurston, on starting
for Hawaii, had left Secretary Hastings
as Charge d'Affaires ad interim for the
Provisional Government of Hawaii. By
| the same mail which conveyed TO the
State Department Willis notice that he
had recognized the new Republic OF
Hawai-, Mr.. Hastings received his ere
dentials as Charge d. Affairs ad interim
for the Republic. These were from Mr.
Hatch, the Hawaiian Minister of For
eIgn Affairs, directed to Secretary
Gresham.
Mr.. Hastings laid his credentials be
fore the State Department, and day
before yesterday received the usua
notice stating that the Department haC
received his credentials and recognized
him as the ad interim representative o.
the Hawaiian Republic.
When the Committee on Foreign
Affairs met to-day, Chairman McCreary
announced that the President ha,
recognized the Hawaiian Republic. Tn,
Republican members maintained tina
Boutelle's resolution was still in order
and that it was desirable for Congress
to extend its greeting to the Republic.
A motion to adjourn was carried
McCreary, Hooker, Tucker, Price
Everett, Money and Dinsmore voting
for it and Blair, Hit, Van Voorhees,
Draper and Geary against. No NOR,
meetings of the committee are expected
this session.

A private letter from Washington
under date OF August 18th has this to
say OF local political affairs
The Cabinet, at a meeting two days
since, decided to extend recognition to
the Hawaiian Republic, and the fact was
announced in the papers. Mr.. Hastings
has been recognized as Secretary OF
Legation and Charge d'Affairs for the
Republic OF Hawaii. The Royalist Com
mission has been handsomely enter
tanned by the Metropolitan Club in
Washington, but. to use the latest Wash
ington slang, "They have cut no ice. "

few days wondering what they came for.

him that the Republic of Hawaii hao
been officially recognized bv the Gov
eminent. The official announcement OF
the recognisance will probably be made
tomorrow.
Washington, Aug. 9.--lt is officially
confirmed that the course of Minister
Willis in officially recognizing so far as
he had a right to do the Hawaiian Re.
public has been approved. A reply has
been sent to Willis, in which the repuh-
lie is formally recognized by the United
States government.
The Hawaiian question came to the
front again in the House to-day, form
ing the subject of the most spirited anc
interesting portion of the proceedings
| Mr. Boutellc raised it as "a question OF
privilege. He repudiated the reported
imputatiou that in introducing the re
solutions recognising the Hawaiian Re
public he had sought to obtain IA parti
san advantage for the Republican part!
and said that he was DESTROYS only o
