THAT WILL SUCCEED MIR.
THURSTON.
HE WILL NOT LEAVE FOR WASH
INGTON UNTIL AUGUST IL.
The Usual Batch of Correspondence is
Given Out Upon This Occasion, as
Has Been the Case in Every In
stance in the Past.

San Francisco, June S.-The steamer
Monawai arrived this afternoon bring,
ing the following adyices from Honolulu
dated July ]:
William II. Castle has been appointed
Hawaiian minister to Washington in place
of Mr.. Thurston. He will not leave Tor
Washington until August II.
Mr.. Castle is one of the commissioners
semitic Washington to arrange for annex
alton as soon as the monarchy was over
thrown.
The following dispatch was sent from
Honolulu under date of May z:
"The friends of ThurstOn are indignant
because they say he has been betrayed by
an agent of the United Press in Washing
ton. He permitted the agent to read pr-
yate correspondence 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 of the
United Press did not publish anything
taken from the correspondence rejecting
upon Cleveland, but he went Immediately
to Mr.. Gresham and informed him that he
had read at the Hawaiian legation letters
to Thurston, and furnished the substance
of them.
Minister ThurstOn was seen in regard
10 the foregoing and admitted that it
was substantially correct. He declined
to go into details, saying he had made re-
port of his government and answer would
be given to the press in n short time.
This report would cover everything relat-
ing TO his recall.
The following is the substance of Mr..
Hatchs letter to Minister Willis in re-
gard to Secretary Gresham:
department of Foreign Affairs, Homo
lulu, May 81. 1S95.-Referring to our in
terview of the Both ult., in which you
intimated that the President of the Unit
ed States would be pleased if the Hawaii
an minister at Washington should be
recalled for personal reasons and upon
that occasion you read to me Il dispatch
from the secretary of state received by
you on the subject, dated February 2S,
but which had been sent to Japan by mis-
take | have the honor to inform you
that Mr.. ThurstOn is now in Hawaii and
will not return to the post of Hawaiian
minister at Washington. | regret eX-
tremely that the presence in Washington
of the late minister is not agreeable ana
that the matters referred to by the sec
rotary of state should have been consld-
cred of sufficient gravity to call for the
action"
Attorney Smith stated in reference tot
Secretary Gresham's letter of May IS
regarding the deportation of j. CranstOn,
that the statement that the only cXplana-
ton made for the reason of the deporting
of Mr. CranStOn was sin the exercise OF
arbitrary power conferred by martlal
law" is not correct. For in addition to-
my reply to Mr.. Willis and in further re
ply to his inquiry rs TO the reasons or me
course pursued, he stated to Mr.. Wits
that Mr. Cranston had been arrested
and charged with conspiracy to overthrow
the government that Cranston, with oth-
ers. had been engaged in Il plot to use
dynamite: that no charge had been made
in court, the charge of conspiracy had
been made and entered i'll the police
records Mt the time of the arrest.
Upon Mr.. Willis protesting. against the
proceedings and asking by what auihor-
Nv the action was taken, Mr.. Smlth re-
plied as set forth in the letter that IN
the exercise OF arbitrary power ''''''
by martial law" ..
Summary proceedings under the circum-
stances were deemed justitiable.
