LILIUOKALANI’S PROTEST.
Further Hawaiian Correspondence Sent to the Senate. Washington, July 3 .—The president has submitted to the senate as a part of the Hawaiian correspondence a letter from Minister Willis, dated June 23, in which that official reports the receipt, on June 21, of a protest signed by Lilinokalani, reciting’ from her standpoint the facts prior and subsequent to the overthrow of the monarchy, protesting against all such acts and “earnestly requesting” that the United States “will not extend its recognition to any such government thus formed.” Minister Willis refrained from forwarding the communication, but in his personal capacity consulted regarding it with Mr. Parker, the last minister of foreign affairs under the monarchy, to whom he represented that the senate’s action in the premises should be regarded as final.
