has sent by the steamer China a request
for certain other information regarding
tie letter and opinion OF Attorney Gener-
al Griggs respecting British claims in con-
nection with the 1855 revolution here.
The instructions II such they may lee
called, received by the steamer America

Dole does not construe the letter 10 De

be made nor how they shall be made
In referring the matter back 10 the Ha-
waiian government the letter states that
they are resubmitted for consideration

far does that GO? Does 1t mean settle
