I also send copies of instructions sent on January 12, 1894, being the only instructions to him that hare not been sent to congress Jo my former message to congress I witheld dispatches numbering three, under date of November 10, 1893, and also dispatch No. 70, under date of October 8, 1893. Inasmuch as the con' tenia or aispatcn xso. s are all re ferred to in dispatches of more recent date, and inasmuch as there seems to be no longer reason for withholding it, the same is herewith submitted. Dispatch No. 70 is still withheld for - reasons that seem to bo justifiable and proper. , Gboveb Clkvklahd, The last instructions to Minister Willis referred to in the president's letter of transmittal as the only la , trucuons oot sent to congress are dated yesterday. They were sent under cover of a tel egram to VV. A. Cooper, the dispatch gent at San Francisco, instructing mm to forward the following tele gram to Mr. Willis, by the steamer Mariposa to-morrow (to-day): MiaiSTIB WILLIS' LAST MSTBUOTIOSa ' January 12, lsl To Willi. Minister. Hono lulu: Your numbers, U to 18 Inclusive bow that you have rightly comprehended the scops of your instructions and hare, as far as was a your power, utaensrged tb onerous task eonUded In you. The president sincerely re- (rets that the provisional government refuses acquiesce lu the conclusion which his sense of right and duty snd a due ward for our na tional honor constrained hlra to reach and submit as a measure of Justice to the people of w unsuia asiauua sua muir aoposea lover aire. Walls It Is troe that the provisional govern pons was createa to exist only until the Islands were annexed to the United States and that the queen finally but reluctantly sur rendered to an armed force of this govern nt Illegally quartered In Honolulu, and representatives of the provisional government whlob realized its Importance and, anxious to (et tontrol of the queen's means of defense, assured her that If she would surrender, her ease would be subsequently considered by the United States, the president has never elulmed that suob sotlon constituted htm an arbitrator la the technical sense or authorized him to act in iaat capacity Between the provisional government You made no such claim when you acquainted that government with the president's decision. The solemn assurance given to the queen baa not been referred to as authority for the president to act as arbitrator, but as a fact material to a lust determination of the presi dent's duty in the premises. In the note which the minister of foreign affairs addressed to you on the Kid ultimo It Is stated in effect that even if the , constitutional government was subverted 7 tne aotlon of '. American minister I'M.? !n-o by a military force of the United States, the president s authority Is limited to dealing with our own unfalth ul of ficials, and that he can take no stops looking to a correction of the wrong done The presi dent entertains a different view of his respon sibility and duty. The subversion of the Hawaiian government by an abuse of the au thority of the United States was in plain vio lation of the international laws and required the president to disavow and condemn the act of our offendlnu officials and within the limits of his constitutional power to endeavor to re Store the lawful authority. On the iHih ultimo the president sent a spec ial message to congress communicating copies ct Mr mount's reports and the Instructions given to him and to you. On the same day. answering a resolution of the house of repre sentatives, he sent eoplos of all correspond ence since March 4, m, on the political affairs and rotations of Hawaii, withholding for suffi cient reasons only Mr Stevens's No 7dof Ooto. per b, ma, and your No. of November 15, lu VJS .Pfeawent therein announces that vwuumuna oi restoration su;eated by Dim tO the Otmen not havlmr nrnw.l ...,..

While it Is with deep disappointment that we learn tnai tna important pss position which we have submitted to the government 01 tbe united Mate and wntcn was at nrt fa vorably considered by It has at length been re jected, we have experienced a souse) of relief tbat we are now favored with the orst official information on the subject thst bas been re set ved through a period of over nine months While we accept the decision of the presi dent of tbe United htatcs, declining further to consider tbe annexation proposition as the nnal conclusion or tne present administration, we do not foel Inclined to regard It as tbe last ord of the American government upon this subject, for tbe history of the mutual relation rt the two eountrlt-s of American effort and .iifliience In building up the Christian civilization which bas so conspicuously aided In vtvlnif this country an honorable place among ina-penjeni nations, tne goovraphlcal position or lueie Islands and tbe Important, and. to both countries. piotlUblo reciprocal commercUl Interests which nave long existed, together with our weakness as a sovereign nation, all point with convincing force to practical union between the two countries as necessary to gain tbe result from tbe circumstance mentioned. This con victlon Is emphasized by the favorable expres sion or American statesmen over a long period In favor of annexation, conspicuous among whom are the names of W U. Marcy. William H Seward. Hamilton Fish and James U. Ulalne, all former secretaries of stite, and especially sj by tbe action of your last administration In neKOtiatlng s treaty of an nexation with this government snd sending it to tbe senate with a view of Its ratiUcation. We shall, therefore, continue the project of political union wun tne united Mates as conspicuous feature of our forelxn policy, con fldently hoping that sooner or later It will be crowned with success to tbe lasting benefit of coin countries The additional portion of vour communica tion referrinr to our domestio affairs with a view to interfering therein is a new departure in tbe relations of the two government.!. Your information tbat the president of tbe United mates expects this government to '-promptly rellnaulsb authority" with the ouestlon: "Are you willing to abide by the dee.sloa of the presiientr- migm wen oeaismisseainssingie word, out ro' tne circumstance that your com- tnunlcatoln contains, as it appears to me, mis statements, erroneous conclusion based there on that are so perjudlclal to this government tbat I eannot permit thorn to pass unchalleng ed. Moreover tbe importance and menacing cnxracier or tots proposition make it appro priate tor me to discuss sumewnac iuiiv ins question raised by It. we ao not recognize tne ngni or tne presi dent of tbe United States to interfere in our domestic affairs. Such right could be con ferred upon him by the act of this government ana by tnai aione, or it couia be acquired by conquest This. I understand to be the Amer ican doctrine conspicuously announced from lime to time by tne autuorities or your gov ernment Resident Juckton said In hts mes- to congress In 1H.K): "The uniform poller and practice of tbe United States Is to avoid a 11 Interference in disputes which mostly relate to tne internal government or other nations And jtVAnlil'kllv In rftpftstilM thA Anlh.rtt w tt the prevailing party without reference to tbe I merits ot the original controversy." I This principle ot International law hat been consistently reconntzed durln t the whole past intercourse o( tbe twa countries and was ro- eestly reoonnrmed In tbe Instructions Klven by Secretary Gresham to Commissioner Hloimt on March 11. HKO. and by the latter published In the newspapers In Honolulu In a letter of bis own to the Hawaiian public The words ot these instructions, which I refer to, are as follows "1 he United States claim no riwht to interfere In tbe politloal or domestio affairs or In tbe Internal conflict of tbe Hawaiian Islands other than as herein stated (referring to tbe protection of American cltl sens) or ror tnamrpose ot maintaining anr iron i j or uiuor rima wnico voey possess. -me treaties neiween ids two countries ron 9ir nA vlah.

Your communication is without information unon this point, exceptlnc such as may be contained in mo iouowin oriei ana vague sentences: She (tbe ex Queen) was advised and assured by her ministers and leaders of the movement for the overthrow or ner government that if she surrendered under protest, her case would afterwards be fairly considered by the president of the United - States.

He then proceeds: If any understanding had existed at that time between ner and toe government to sub' mit tbe question of bx-r resiorat-oo to the United states, some reference to some suet understanding would naturally have appeared in this letter, as trood reason would have exist ed tor caning tne attent.on of tbe president to that fact, and especially ss she then knew that her attorney would be seriously delayed in reaenmg vvasningioa nut mere is not a word from which such an understanding can be pre dicated. The government sent its commis sioners to Washington for tbe sole purpose of securing toe connruiatioa or tne recognition uy Minister Stevens or the new Koverrment and to enter Into negotiations for political union too ma unuea states. Tbe protestor tbe ex queen made on Junu ary 17 is equally with tbe letter devoid of evidence of any mutual understanding for Bubmlxajiin of ber claim to tne throne, to tbe United stales it is very evidently a protest skuiudi uio alleged action 01 Minister Stevens as well as tbe new government and contains a notice or ner appeal to the United States Tbe document was received exactly as it wouio nav oeen received ir It bad come tnroutn by mail Tbe Indorsement of Us receipt upon tbe pper was made at Ihe reauust of the lndluldual who hrnnht It as eviceni'e or lis safe delivery As to the ex-queen's noil, e of beruppcal to tbe United states, it waa a m.m-r or muinerence to us Such an appeal could not huve been prevented as uie man servi. e was in operation as usual. mat sucn a noin e, and our receipt of it with' out comment, should be a foundation for a claim mat we bavesui m tied our rlvrht to ex- 1st as svovcniment to the United States bad never occurred lu us until suggested to us by uur government. The protest of the ex-queen, already puDiihiicu, is Here quoted, and Mr. Dole then proceeds: You may not be aware, but such is the fact. that at no time until the nresentatlon of the claim of tbe president of the United States of his rivht to interfere In the Internal affairs of tins country, by you on December 10. bus this government been officially Informed by the United States government that any such course was contemplated. And not until the publication of Mr. Urcshams letter to tbe president or tbe United States on the Ha waiian question bad we any reliable Intimation ot sucn a policy The adherents of the ex queen have, Indeed, claimed frjtn time to time tbat sutb was tbe case, but we have nevor been able to attach serious Importance to tneir rumor?, feeling sure of our oreseent diplomatic representatives In your country ana reiyin upon tne friendship and fairness or a government wnose dealing witb us liave ever soown run recognition of our lnilctxmd enee as a sovereign power, without any tend ency to take advantage of the disparity of Strength between the two countries If your contention that President Cleveland ociieves mat tbts government and the ex- queen bave submitted tbelr respective claims to i ne sovereignty or mis country to tne ad- luaieni.onoi tne united states is correct. then, may I ask. when and where has the nrel. dent held this court of arbitration!1 This gov ernment has had no notice of the sitting of such a tribunal and no opportunity of presenting its claims. If Mr. Blount's Investigations were part or trie proceeaing or such a court, this government Qia not Know it and was never In formed of It: Indeed, as I have mentioned shove, nevor knew until the publication of netreiary uresnam s letter to jreslaent Cleveland a tew weeks a.o that the American executive nad a policy of Interference under contemnlatlon I Kvenif we bad known that Mr. mount was auinoraiiveiy acting as a commissioner to take evidence upon the question of the restoration ' t,h, ex-queen the methods adopted bv him In makln his Investigations were.'I submit, un- suitable to such an examinution or any exami nation upon wnicn numun lntercHts were to do adjudicated As 1 am reliably Informed. be selected his witnesses and examined mem in secret rreuuentiv n in. pdinD uutjBuuiin, mviuif no ODUortunitv lor a croia examination, and orten not permitting such explanations by witnesses themselves as tliey desired to make as to evidence which he had drawn from them. It is hardly necessary for me to sut'sest tbat under auch a moils of ex amination, some witnesses would he al helpless in the bands of an astute laa ver and might be drawn into saying thinvs which would be only half truths and, standing alone, would be misleading or tnn fu.l in enect. u it likely that - an investigation conducted to this manner couio result in a fair, full and truth ful statement of the case In point? Surely the destinies of friendly iravernmnnta ' aslmlt. tins by the way of argument, tbat tbe right of arbitration exists, may not be disposed of upon an exparte and secret investigation with out the knowled.eof such government or an opportunity to be heard or even to know who tbe witnesses were My position Is briefly this: If thn American forces Illegally assisted tbe revolutionists ia tbe establishment of the provisional covorn ment. that sovernment is not resnonaihla for their wrong doing It wag purely a private matter for discipline between the United States government and its officers Thore is, I submit, no precedent in inter national law for the theory that such aotlon of the American troops has connferred upon the United States authority over the International affairs of this government Should It be true as yon have suggested, that tbe American government made itself responsible to the queen who. it is auegea, tost nor inrone thrown such action, tbat is not a mutter for me to discuss, except to submit that if such be the easo.it is a matter for the American government and her to settle between themselves. This sovernment, a recognized sovereign power, equal in authority with the United states government and enjoying diplomatic relations with it, cannot be destroyed by it for the sake of discharging its oblixations to the ex-queen Upon these grounds. Mr. Minister, in bohalf ot my government, I respectfully protest against the usurpation of its authority as suggested by the language of y our coinmun- President Dole then tray e an account oi me events in Kalakauaa reign wntcn iea to toe revolution and con' stitution of 187. and detailed the actions of Liliuokalani in her attempt w override ine constitution and vest herself with absolute power, and pro- cceueu wua nis artrument aa follows: ao man can correctly say that the oneen owed her downfall to the interference of American forces.
