Friends OF the Late Minister Indignant at
HIS BetrHyaI.

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-The steamer
Monowai arrived this afternoon, bringing the
following advices from Honolulu, dated June
1: William X. Castle has been appointed Ha-
waiian minister at Washington in place Of l..
A. Thurston. He will not leave for his place
until August 1. Mr. Castle was one Of the
commissioners sent to Washington to arrange
for annexation as soon as the monarchy was
overthrow. The following dispatch was sent
from Honolulu under date Of May 2:
"The friends Of Thurston are indignant be-
cause they say he has been betrayed by an
agent of the United press in Washington. He
permitted that agent to read private corre-
spondenCe from Honolulu for the purpose Of
making himself familiar with the situation
here. and instructed him to publish nothing
which reflected upon the government, as it
might reflect upon his official position.
Thurston's friends say the agent did not pub
lish anything taken from the correspondence
rejecting upon Cleveland, but he went di-
! rectly to Gresham and informed him that he
had read at the Hawaiian legation letters sent
to Thurston, and furnished Gresham with the
substance Of them"
Mr.. Thurston was seen in regard to the
foregoing and admitted that 1t was substan-
TALLY correct. He declined to go into details,
saying he had made report to his govern
ment which would be given to the press in
thing relating TO his recall.
The following is the text of Minister Hatch s
| letter to Minister Willis in answer to Secre-
| tary Greshams letter;
HATCH'S REPLY TO WILLIS.
DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS,
| HONOLULU, May g. 1S95.-Referrng to our
| interview of the 30th ultimo in which you
| ntimated that the president of the United
States would be pleased il the Hawaiian min
lister at Washington should be recalled, for
personal reasons, and upon which occasion
| you read to me dispatch from the sec etary
OF state to yourself dated February q, but
| which had been sent to Japan by mistake,
have the honor 70 inform you that Mr.. Thurs
ton in now in Hawaii and will not return tc
| the post Of Hawaiian minister at Washington
"I regret extremely that the presence in
| Washington Of the late minister is not
agreeable and that the matters referred to
| by the secretary of state should have been
| considered Of such gravity as to call for the
| action taken"
Attorney Smith stated in relation to Sec
| retary Gresham's letter to Mr.. Willis of May
| IT, regarding the deportation of j. Cranston
that the statement in the letter that the
only explanation made of the reason for de-
| porting Mr.. Cranston was that 1t was 'n
| the exercise of the arbitrary authority con.
| ferred by martial law is not correct. For
in addition to that reply to Mr.. Wills, and in
further reply to his inquiry as to the reason
Of the course pursued he stated to Mr.
| Willis that Mr.. Cranston had been arrested
and charged with conspiracy to overthrow
the government that Cranston, with others
had been engaged in a plot to use dynamite
that, though no charge had been made il
court, the charge Of conspiracy had beer
made and entered in the police records al
the time Of the arrest. Summary proceed
ngs under the circumstances were deemed
| iustiaable.

sioner at this place, died suddenly on tn

The American League was addressed on thu
Goth inst. by Minister Thurston and Attorney

OF annexation. Thurston closed his remarks
by stating: '"To summarize, l am an an
nexationist, because l believe that create
progress can be achieved under this thar
under any other system of government. Th
people of Hawaii WI secure peace, the es
tablishment Of western civilization and ma
terial prosperity"
