While we accent th. dsctston ot tho president of the United stat -s. docliniut: further to ainsider the nnnexatinn proposition, us the tlaal conclusion of the present administration. edonotfeeliiiclint. regard it as tho last word of the Amerl.aa government upon this subject, lor the history of the niUtu..! relations of toe two t-ountri . of American onortand lutlueaio In lu.ldin; up tho Christian civilisation which has so conspicuously aiJea in civinc this country anUonorablo rl 'ee amonj iadcpeinlent rations, tlie scorapiilcal position of th- Islands ami tho important, and to both countries, profitable, reciprocal j lommer.ial tnten sts. which have lon existed.

This conviction is i emphasized by tho favdrablo exprosI sion of Am -ruan statesmen over a Ions period in favor of anin-xatlon, conspicuous amon? whom are the nnm - of N. I .Mar y.

Will Appeal to Futur Administrations. We shall, th-retoro, continue the project of iwlitlcal union wall the United Mates as a conspicuous feature of our foreign policy, confidently hoping that sooner or later it win te crowned with success, to the lasting benefit of both countries. Tho additional portion of your communication referrlns to our dome-tic affairs with a view of Interfering therein, is a new departure lit the relations Of the two governments Vour information that tho president of the United States exjiects this government to promptly relinquish to her (meaning tho ex-queen), her constitutional authority with the question; "Are you willing to abide by tho declslou of tho president" might well I dismissed in a single word, but lor ihe circumstance that your communication contains, as It appears to mo. misstatements and erroneous conclusions oased thereon, that aro so prejudicial to this government that I can not permit them to pass Unchallenged. Moreover, ihe importance an-1 menacing character of this proposition maks it appropriate for mo to discuss somewhat fully the questions raised vv it. Wo do not recognize the rlht of the president of the United States to Interfere in our domestic affairs, such right could te conferred upon him i-y the act of this gotreroment. and by that alono. or It could ho acquired by conquest This I understand l no tho American doctrine conspicuously nnnounccl from tlmo to time by tho authorities of your government President Jackson said In his message Uv congress In 1Ä. "The uniform ivolicj and practice of the United States Is to avoid nil taterferenc lu disputes which mostly relate to the internal government of idher nations and eventually .to rcio.'tiUo the authority of the prevailing party with reference to the merits of orUinal voatroversy." This principle of International law has been consistently recognized during tho whole past ntercoursu ot the two rountries, iiu-i wa3 recently retoniiruied in tho Instructions given iy Secretary Uresham te ommissioner Hlount of March II. 10.1. and by the latter published in th" newspaper In Honolulu In a 1-tter of his own to tlie Hawaiian public. Tho words of ihm Instructions which I refer to are as follows: The United Statia Had No Right to Interlar?. "Tho Ualted Stat-s claim no right to interfere la tho political or domestic affairs or In the internal conti! ts ot tha Hawaiian islands other than as herein staud (referring to tho protection ot American citizens), or for the purpose ot maintaining any treaty or other rights which they tiosss?." lue treaties -etwe-Mi tho two countries confer no right of Interference. Upon what then. Mr. Minister, does tho president of tho United State base his right of Interference' Your communication Is without Information upon this point, ex eptlng such as may be contained in the following brif and vairu sentences: She the er-queen was advlsod and assured by her ministers and leaders of tho movement tor the overthrow of her government that if she HurrenCcrercd under protest, her case would afterwards be falrlv considered " by the president of tho United States. The queen rinally yielded to tho armed force of tho United states, then quartered in Honolulu, relying on the L'ood faith and honor of the president when Informed of what had occurred, to undo the, action of thu minister and reinstate her and thu authority which he claims as the constitutional sovereign of Hawaiian Islands." Also, Itbecomes my further duty to advlso yoi. Mr, the executive of tho provisional government, and your ministers, of tho preslilent s" determination of tho question which yeme action aad that of the queen devolved upon him, and that yu aro expected toprompt It relinquish to her constitutional authority." I understand that tho tlrst quotation is referred to In the following words of the second; Which yiMir action and that of tho queen devolved upon him" (the president of tho Ualted Utes), and that the president hvs arrived at his conclusions from Commls , (mt fnm mXnct published In the papirs. and for reasons set forth hereafter, wo are not ills posed to ubmlt thi fate of Hawaii to its stJtemeats and toncliisloas. As a matter of fact, no member ot thaexocutlvo of the provlsloaal government has conferred with the ex-queen, either veibally or otherwise, from ths tim-i tho now gixeriimont was proclaimed till now, with the exception of one Or two notices which were sent to her by mysolt In regard to lior removal from, tho plaoo and relating to tho guards which the kot orament Hrst allowed her. and pemnp others of a like nat ire I Infer that n conversation whlcbMr lumoa, a memuer of the advisory conned, Is roported by Mr Hlount to have had with tho ox-que.tm on January 17. and which ha.-, been quoted In the newspapers.

The Question of Arbitration Nivsr Entertained by th- Provisional , Oovfrnmsnt. If an Intention to sul rmt tho question of tho reinstatement of tit ex-queen had existed, why should her attorney have been refused passage on this boat Tue ux-qiieen's letter to Mr. Harrison dated January is. two days after tho new government wa prof Inline I. makes no allusion to any understanding between her und the government for arbitration. President Hole hero quotes the e.vq it ecu's letter, which has been heretofore published. He thon proceed: If sny understanilng UiJ existed at that time between her and tin .-ovfrnmsnt to submit tha question of her restoration to the United States, some reference to some such understanding would naturally have appeared in this letter as every reason would have existed for calling tho attention of the president n tho fact, and cspe tally as sho then knew that her attorney wo du bo seriously delayed In reaching Washington. Hut thero Is not a word upon which such an understaauins can be predicated. The government sent Its commissioners to Washington for th sole purpose of se.-uring tho continuation ot the recognition by Minister Stevens of tho new government and to enter Into neeotlations for political union with th3 Uni'od States. The Queen's Protat and Appsal. The protest fif the ex-queen made on January 17 Is equally, with the letter, devoid of evidence of any mutual understanding for a submission of her claim to the throne to the United States. It I very evidently a protest n,'a!nt tho alleged action of Minister Stevens as well as the now government and contains a notlco of her appeal to tlie United States. Tho document was received exactly a. It would have been received if It hn-l come through the mall. The Indorsement of its rciclpt upon the paper was made ut tiio requst of tho Individual who brought it. as evidence of Its safe delivery. As to the ex-queen's notlco ot her appeal to Ihe United States, it was a matter of inditlertnco to us. Such an appeal could not have been prevented, ns th mall service was In operation as usual. That such a notlco and our receipt of it without comment should be made a foundation of a claim that we have submitted our right to exist as a government to the United States had never occurred to us until suggested to us by your government. The protest of the ex-queen, already published, is here quoted, and Mr. Dole then proceeds: Vou mav not bo aware, but such Is the fact, that at no" tun untli th present notlllcatlon of the claim of the president of the United Stales of his right to laterfer- la tho internal nffalrs of this country, bv yea on December IS. la this government lecn oRlclally Informed by tho United states governrnunt that any suca course -was cotitcmpl itetl. and not until the publication of Mr Greshams letter to the president of tho United jstates on the Hawaiian question had we any Intimation of such a policy.

Even If wo had known that Mr. Hlount was authoritatively acting: as a commissioner to take evidence upon thi question ot th. n-stora-Uonof the ex-q iccn. the mitliols adopted by him in making hi inve-vtlgatlons were 1 submit unsuitable tosu.'ian examination ar any examination upon nh.oh human lnteres'-s were to no adjudicated. ,Vs I nm reliably ir.formed, ho solcct! his witnesses an I e.xatnlaeil them In sci-r el. frequently using leading questions, giving no opportunity for cross-exninination. and often not permitting tho explications by witnesses themselves which thej.dt-siro I to make of evidence wnlch h ha 1 drawn from them It Is hanlly ne.'essary for m to .suggest that under such a modo .some wliessrs would lw almost helpless In the hands of anastuto lawy.iri and might bi drawn Into .nayiug things which would be only half trtiUt. and stanOlntj alono woubl he misleading or e-ven false In ctl-ict.

This government, a re.-onlzed sovereign power, equal In authority with tho United States i;overnin?nt and enjoying diplomatic relations with It. cannot K destroyed by U for the sake of discharging Its obligations to the ex-queen. Upon these grounds. Mr. Minister, in behalf of my government. 1 respectfully protest against the u jrpatlon of Us authority a suggested by tho language of your communtcalt Is dlfncult for a stranger llUe vosuselt. and much more for the president of the United States with his pre-slng respon-dbllltle. crowding cares, and his want of familiarity with tho condition and history of this country and the Inner life ot iu pjople. to obtain a clear Insight into the real state of aftdrs anä to uaderstaad the social currents, the race feelings nnd the customs and traditions which all contribute to the political outlook We who havo grown up here or who havo adopted this country as onr iiome are conscious of the dlfth-ulty of maintaining a stable government here A community which is made up of live races, of which tho larger part bat dimly appreciates tho significance and value of representative constitutions, offer-, political problems which may well tax tho wisdom of the most experienced statesmaa RUrogresslon of ths Monarchy.

These efforts have been met by the last two sovereign, in a spirit of a;rgrcslrs hostility. The struggle leaime nt length a well-defined Isue between royal prerogative and th" right of representative governaien:, and most bitterly and unscrupulously ha.i It icea carried oa la the Interests of the former. President Dole here enters upon nn account of the events in ICalakua's reijjn and proceed follows. Ths Queen Did Not Ow H-r Downfall to American Interference. So man can correctly say that the. queea owed her downfall to the liiterferenceof American forces.
