Correspondence Between Willis and Dole Published.

CONGRESS GETS MORE DOCUMENTS.

Minister Willi* Complains That Our Gov ernnient Han Been Affronted, Hut President Dole Refuses to WltlKlmw

Any of Ilia Statements.

SUBMITTED BY PRESIDENT CLEVELAND. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. President

Cleveland, in a brief note of transmittal, has submitted to congress the latest correspondence relating to Hawaii. It comprises some brief notes of Minister Willis to Secretary Greshatu, which are unimportant, but the chief features are the letters passing between Minister Willis and President Dolo, in one of which the minister complains of an utterance of President Dole as reflecting on the president of the United States, and a letter from President llole In which he specifically Inquires if Minister Willis' instructions authorized the use of force. Both matters have been settled by the report of the last message of the president to congress and the last intructions of Secretary Gresham to Minister Willis.

Willi* to Gresham.

The most important part of the correspondence consisted of a long letter from Minister Willis to Secretary Gresham, containing inclosures of correspondence between President Dole and himself. The letter, No. 20^, to Secretary Gresham, says: "On Wednesday, the 27th ultimo, at 12 a. the steamship

Oceanic arrived with newspapers

containing the president's special In fulJ. together with tho instructions to Mr. Blount and myself. The message was reproduced in the afternoon papers with conspicuous headlines. At 4 pm. of the same day 1 received the fourpage, closely-written letters which I Inclose, from Minister Dole, minister of foreign affairs, asking to be informed, without the least delay, whether 1 held instructions to enforce your policy with the use of arms in any event. The information desired, although fully embodied in the president's message, might have been asked for, and, except for the remarkable statements contained in the letter, would have been promptly and satisfactorily given in a fewwords.

Demanded Specific Charges. "Confident that the charges so surprisingly and unjustly made oould not be sustained, an answer herewith was on the following (Thursday) morning sent to President Dole asking that they be more direct and specific. On Friday morning, tho 19th ultimo, 1 received another letter from Mr. Dole, in whloh he says: 'The special message of the president has rendered any further correspondence on the subject of my letter of December 27 unnecessary, as the message satisfactorily answers the question. But,' he added, 'if you still desire the specifications requested, I will be ready to furnish them.' "At 8 p. tu. of thai, day, January 1, I received the letter from Hon. H. S. B. Dole herewith Inclosed, In which he states: 'It was not my intention to withdraw any of ray letters.' This, of course, left every charge and statement in full force, as of that date. Believing that these charges, whether so Intended or not, reflected very unjustly upon the president whose agent I was, at 0 p. m. of the same day (Monday, January 1 I replied In the inclosed letter asking that the desired specifications bo furnished at the earliest convenience. Up to this date. January 6. no reply has been received and no intimation of when it may be expected.

Kegrei* the Delay,

"This delay In answering Is a great surprise and regret. 1 am fully prepared to show that every step taken by the representatives of our government has been in the direction of peace and good order. On the 13tb of November, as is well known here, the greatest excitement prevailed at the executive building, military forces were Increased and the volunteer companies were on duty all night The preparations were doe, not to any fear of American Intervention, but, as Mr. Damon, minister of finance, called on me officially to explain, resulted from the apprehensions of many citizens, mostly women and children, that, as the following day was the birthday anniversary of King Kalukaua, large numbers of natives from the adjoining districts would bo here and an outbreak might occur."

Dole to Willis.

In President Dole's letter to Mr. Willis, dated December 27. he calls the attention of the latter to the "dangerous critical condition of the community arising. I must respectfully submit, out of the attitude which you have assumed and the language which you have used in public and in communications to this government and also out of the published letter of the secretary of state of the Uuited States and the president's message on the subject of restoration of ths monarchy.''

Charge* Double Dealing.

He continues: "At the time of your arrival in this country, the forces of this government were organized and were amply sufficient to suppress any Internal disorder. After your arrival ycu made communications regarding your polj loy, which were ambiguous, and for several weeks you failed to disclose your Intentions, and have only partially done so up to the present moment, leaving this government to Infer what they may ultimately be from the letter from Mr. Qresham and the president's message, In which It has been declared In very dlstlnot language that the deposed queen ought to be restored to the throne by the governmentof the United States. Your language, expressed .in public, declared that you Intended to perform some aot when the proper time arrived, without disoloslng what that aot would be. "Under these circumstances there arose at onoe a general feeling of disquiet The natural inference from your attitude, lauguage and refusal to disclose your purpose, and from Mr. Gresham's letter and tho president's message was, and Is, that you intended to use force in maintaining your polloy. The faot Is well known, as you admitted in your communication of December 9, that, without the consent or knowledge of this government, you have held negotiations with the deposed queen, for the purpose of overthrowing this government"

President Dole declares that, In consequenoe of Willis' attitude in this respect, the enemies of the government have become emboldened, and that threats of assassination of the offloers of the government have been made. He also calls attention to the general disquietude and anxiety created.

Want* Definite Information. "This government" says President Dole, 'He reluctant to believe that this condition of affairs was contemplated or expected by yourpelf or by the president of the United States. I have therefore to ask you to Inform me with the least delay whether you hold instructions to enforoe your policy with the use of arms In any event"

More Spicy Correspondence.

The remainder of the correspondence consists of communications between Minister Willis and President Dole arising out of the statements made In the latter'* letter aa given above. Under date of December 27 Willis submits that as these statements reflect upon the president of the United States and his diplomatic agent they should, 'in view of their gravity, be set forth with more particularity and certainty.*' Each Important «taioruent In the pole letter is cited and speoitloations are

Mfced,

the letter closlug with the opinion

that

Mr. Dole, upon re-examination, will sot feel at liberty to affix his signature to such

an

extraordinary declaration. December

THE CRAWFORDSYILLE JOURNAL.

ORAWFORDS VILLE, INDIANA, MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 1894

SO

President Dole replied that it was not necessary to further go into the matter as the president's message to congress satisfactorily answered the question as to the further action of the administration.

Then follows a letter of Mr. Willis' suggesting the withdrawal from the government records of all this correspondence, to which Mr. Dole politely declined asBent. Then follows the last Inclosure, which is a letter dated January 1 from Minisfer Willis to President Dolo, renewing the request for specifications as »to the allegations made by President Dole In order that he (Mr. Willis) might answer them, as he is fully prepared to show that they ure not warranted by the facts. Here this letter expresses regret at tho Dole communication, as it crlngs "for the first time, official Information of warlike preparations, caused by and intended for the diplomatic and military representatives of the United Status.''

Sloven* a* a Wltmoitf.

WASHINGTON, Jan., 22.—The witness before the senate committee investigating Hawaiian relations Saturday was ex-Minister Stevens, who is charged with having coerced the Hawaiian** and contributed towards the establishment of the provisional government bjf the use of the provisional forces. Mr. Stevens was on the stand for a long time, aud, it is understood, made strong denials of very many of the positive statements of Mr. lllount. He defended his course from first to last, and declared he had landed the troops simply for the purpose of protecting life and property, and he brought out tho point that the deposed queen herself did not, by her acts, iake a contrary view of the case. Tliis part of Mr. Stevens' testimony touched on new ground and was of importance. He said that twenty-two hours after the marines had been landed, and after the queen had been deposed, she sent to him and asked that he would direct the marines to be used in her behalf, a request which showed, Mr. Stevens said, that the queen did not look upon the landing of the marines as intended to be inimical to her.

THE TARIff.

Several Amendments to the Wilson Bill Voted Down. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—The house on Saturday voted against the following proposed amendments to the Wilson tariff bill:

Substituting the existing law for the proposed agricultural schedule of the Wilson bill: reducing the tariff ou handkerohiefs, stockings and half hose, cords, braids and laclugs, rubber cloth, coat linings, Italian cloth, bunting, cloaks, jackets, ulsters and other outside garments from 86, 40 and 45 per cent to 25 per cent putting wool and woolen goods on the free list substituting the tariff on stockings aud half hose under the law of 189J for the corresponding provision of the Wilson bilL

An amendment defining more explicitly the classes of iron taxable under the Wilson bill was adopted. Notice was given of two amendments to the sugar schedule to be offered to-day. Both amendments strike out the clause providing for the gradual reduction of the bounty on sugar and wipes it out altogether, thus making sugar absolutely free.

A VETO.

The President Refuses to 81gn the New York-New Jersey Bridge BUI. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. President Cleveland has vetoed the bill passed by congress providing for the erection of abridge across the Hudson river and terminals in New York city and connections with railroads in New Jersey. The reasons assigned for the veto are as follows:

Because the bill does not prohibit the con. rtructlouof piers in the river that the commerce of the river should not be interfered with by the areotion of bridges that expert engineer opinions agreo that the river at the point fixed for the crossing of the bridge can be spanned by a single span that in the bill of the New York legislature chartering the company the erection of piers is prohibited that the bill permits the bridge company to charge an undue amount for the transportation of mails, and that a charter for a similar struoture has already been granted by congress to another company by an act which requires the construction of a single-span bridge.

Servla's Ex-Sovoraign Arrives In Belgrade.

HIS PRESENCE CAUSES A CRISIS,

Th« Cabinet Immediately Tendcri Its Resignation—Ail Unconfirmed Report Says That Young Alexander, the

Klnff, Has Ileen Killed.

A STAKTI.ING UtMOIt

VIENNA, Jan. 22.—It is rumored here that King Alexander, of Servia, has been murdered. While there is no confirmation of the report, the political situation at Belgrade is known to be so strained that a tragedy with the headstrong young king as ttie victim is not regarded as outside the range of the possibilities. The presence of ex-King Milan at Belgrade Is likely to provoke at least a serious crisis. King Alexander I. was born 111 Belgrade, August H, 1870, and succeeded to the throne of Servia on the abdication of his father, King Milan. March 0, 18bfl.

BEI.GRADK, Jan. 22. —Ex-King Milan arrived here Sunday afternoon in answer to the summons from King Alexander, who met him at the railway station with a large number of generals and other officers. Premier Gruitch immediately tendered his resignation to Alexander, giving as a reason for his action Milan's arrival. Gruitch refused to give any other cause for surrendering office. King Alexander thereupon assured him that Milan's presenoe in the city did not imply the adoption of an unconstitutional or unparliamentary course, but accepted his resignation.

The real cause of Milan's arrival at Belgrade, the dispatch says, was the difference between King Alexander and his radical ministers. The king appealed to his father, who advised him not to break with the radicals unless he wanted to suspend the constitution and institute a military regime, which Milan strongly deprecated. King Alexander replied that if he could not have his own way lie would abdicate and leave Servia, whereupon Milan started immediately for Belgrade. it A dispatch from Vienna to the Standard says that the Servian cabinet resigned because of the presence of exKing Milan at Belgrade. This they declared to be illegal, but they did not care to commence an open conflict with the crown by Milan's arrest and expulsion. M. Pasiteh, president of the Skuptschina, is en route to Belgrade from St. Petersburg. If he is willing to form a new cabinet possibly the crisis may be deferred.
