Honolulu December 23 1831 Sir Your
ocellenc > communication of December
10 announcing the condition which the
president of the United States of Aineilcn
has Dually arilved lit respecting the ap-
plication of the government for a treaty
of jo ltlcil union with that country and
referring also to domestic affairs of these
Islinds has had the consldeiation of tho
government While It Is with deep disap-
pointment that no learn that tho Impoi
tint proposition which we have submitted
< o tho government of the United States
nnd which was U first fnvorablj ricelved
by it has at length been rejected wo
have experienced a sense of relief that
we are now favored with the first oftl
clil information uiwii the subject which
has been received thlough a perlod of
over nine months While wo accept the
decision of the president of the United
Stales declining further to consider the
annexation proposition as the find con-
clusion of the present administration ivve
do not feel Inclined to regard It as tho
last word of tho American government
upon this subject for the history of tho
mutual relations of the countries of
American effort nnd influence In building
Christian civilisation which has so con-
spicuously aided In giving thlB country an
honorable place among Independent na-
tions the geogriphlcal position of these
iwl mds nnd the Importance to both coun-
tries of piofltnble ieeljirocil commercial
Interests which have long existed to
gethci with our weakness as a sovereign
nation all point with convincing force to
a political union between tho two coun-
tries as the necessary logical result from
the ercuinstaiues mentioned This con-
viction is emphasized by thc favorable
exprisslons of Amerlotn etuleiwnen over
u long period In favor of annexation con-
spicuous among whom are the names of
W j Marey William II Seward Hamll
ton Ilsh and James < 5 DIalne all former
secretaries of state nnd especially so by
the uctlm of your Inst udmlnlsiratlon In
negotiating n treaty of annexation with
this government and sending It to tho
senate with a v lew to its ratification
We shall therefore continue the project
of political union with thu United States
a a conspicuous feature of our foreign
pollcj confidently hoping that sooner or
later It will he crowned with success for
the lasting benefit of both eountiles
The nddltloiial iwrtlon of jour com-
munication referrlnz to our domestic af-
fairs Willi i view of Inlerfeilng therein
la a new departure In the relations of the
two governments Your Information that
the president of the UnKtM Suits expects
this government to promptly relinquish to
her meaning thc exqueen her constitu-
tional authorltj with the question Are
j ou willing to ankle by the decision of tho
president might well lie dismissed In a
single word but for ihe clrciiin8tiine >
that your communication coiitulm as It
appears to me misstatements and erron
> ou3 conclusions baswl therein that are
5ii prejudicial to this government that I-
ran not permit them to pang niiohallenxwl
Moreover the Importance and inenarlnif
character of these proportions make it
Appropriate for me to discuss somewhat
fully tho questions j alsed by it We do
not recogntee Ihe right of the president
of the United Stale to Interfere In our
domestic affairs Buck n light could be
conferred upon him by an act of this
government and by that alone or It could
be nqulrl bv conquest
This J understand to be the Anuri an
doctrine conspicuously aniinuiiied f r > m
time t < tlin bv the uuthnrltlli s nt v i
gnveriment Il ident Ja > kron seld in lite j
mciiige to congress In Uiu The uniform
policy and practice of tlio United Stoles
is to avoid all Interference In disputes
which mosttV relate to the Internal govern-
ment of otlwr nntloiiR and eventually to
reeogniie the authority of tho prevailing
party without reference to the merits of
the original controversy
This principle of International law 1ms
been eonsistontly recognised dining the
whole past Intercourse of the two coun-
tries and was recently reconflrmed in the
Instructions given by Heerelurj Oreslmm
to Commissioner lllount on March 11 ISM
njid by the latter published In thc nevvavn
pcrs in Honolulu In a letter of his own
to the Hawaiian public Tho words of
these Instructions which I refer to nre as
follows Tho United Slates claim no right
to Interfero in the polltcnl or domestic
affairs or In Interunl conflicts of thc Ha-
waiian Islands other than ua herein
slated referring to the protection of Amer
ican cltlicns or for the purpose of main-
taining any iicity or other rights which
they j i8 ss
The treaties between the two countries
confer no light of interference
Upon what thin Mr Minister does the
president or the United States base his
right of Interference
Your communication Is without Infor-
mation upon this point except such an
may bo contained In the following brief
and vngue sentence
She the cjiieeiO was advised nnd
assure I by her ministers and tho lenders of
tho movement for the overthrow of her
government that If she smrendered un-
der protest her case would afterwaids be
fairly considered bj the iitesldent of the
United States The queen dually lalded
to the armed forces of the United States
quurtcied Inwanvtulu rebltiK on the good
faith and honor of thc president when In
formed of what Iiul occurred to undo the
action of the minister nnd reinstate her
nnd her authority which she claimed as
the constitutional sovereign of Hawaii
Also It becomes my further duty to
ndvl e you sir the executive of the pro-
visional government tend oui ministers
of the presidents determination of the
quest Ion which yom uellon nnd that of
the queen devolved upon him unit on nre
expecixt to promptly relinquish to her
her conotltutionnl authorltj
I understand that the ill at quotation Is
refetred tu In the following words of the
second Which our action and that of
the queen devolved upon him the presi-
dent of the United States and that the
president has arrived nt his conclusion
ftom mounts report
Wo have had us yet no oppoitunlly of
examining this document but from ex-
tracts published In tlio papers and for
reasons act forth hereofler we are not
disposed to submit tho fate of Hawaii to
Us statements and Its conclusion As a
matter of fact no member of the provis-
ional government has conferred with the
exquien either verbally or otherwise
from the time the new government was
proclaimed timiovv with the exception of
one or two notices which worn dent to
her by mjself In tegard to her removal
from the palace and relating to the gunnls
which the government first allow oil her
and perhaps otheis of a like nature
I infer that the conversation which
Mr Damon a member of the advisory
council Is reported by Mr mount to have
had with the exqueen ou J a nil at 17 uud
which has bten quoted in thc uevvspipcis
la the babls of this astounding claim of
tho president of the United States of his
authority to adjudicate upon our right
as a government to exist
Mr Ilamon on tho occasion mentioned
wos allowed to accompany the cabinet of
the former government who had been In
conference Willi ns What Ml Damon
said to the exqueen he said on his Indi-
vidual authority and did not report It to
us Mr mounts report of his rem irks
on that occasion furnishes tlio govern-
ment lbs first Information of the nature
of those remarks Admitting for argu-
ments sake that tho government had au-
thorized such iissurances which ivn that
her case was afterward to be fairly con
sideicd by the president of tho United
States was It a question of her right to
subvert the Hawaiian con tllul1on nnd to
pioclalm a new one herself or was It her
claim to be restored to the sovereignty
oi was it her claim against the United
States for nlleged unwariaittublo acts of
Mlulstei Stevens or mis it all these In the
aggregate Who can say Hut It it bad
been all of these oi an > of these It could
not have been more cleaily and Dually de-
cided by the president of Ihe United State
In favor of the provisional ovarmnent
than It was when ho recognUed It with-
out quallllcuton and received Its accred-
ited successively chosen two envoys ex-
traordinary and ministers plenipotentiary
to It the exqueen In the meantime being
represented In Washington by her agent
who had full access to the department of
state
The whole business of the government
with tho president of tho United Slates
Is set forth In the coirCBpoudenco between
the two governments and the nets mid
statements of Ihe minister of this govern-
ment nt Washington and the annexation
commlslsoucrs sect lilted to it
If we have submitted our right to exist
to the United States the fact will appear
In that correspondence ami In the acts
of our ministers and commissioners Such
uiungreenicnt must ba shown as to tho
foundation of thu right of yom govern-
ment to InUTiele as ail arbitrator can be
crosted only by the act of two parties
The exqueen sent her attorney to
Washington to plead her Claim for rein
satement In power oi falling in hat
foi money allowance or dsmageH This at-
torney wus refused passage on the govern-
ment dispatch boat which was sent to Han
Francisco with tire annexation commlB
sloneis Hiid their message Tho depart ire
of this vessel was loss than two days after
the new governments declaration was
lead and the refusal was made promptly
upon recclvintr tho request therefor cither
on ihe day the government was declared
or on the next day If an Intention to
submit thc question or reinstatement of
the exqueen had existed Why should her
attorney have been refused a passage on
tins boat
The exqueens letter to Mr Harrison
dated January IS two days afltr the new
government was proclaimed makes no
illusion o any umlerstandlnir between her
nnd the government foi arbitration
President Dole here quoten the oxqueens
letter which hn been heretofore pub-
lished
Ho then proceeds If any understand-
ing 1ms oxlbted lit any lime between her
nnd the government to submit the ques-
tion of her restoration to the United
States some reference to such un undei
standlng would naturolly have appeared
in the letter as every reason would Iwvo
existed foi calling the attention of the
president to Ihe fact and < peelully us
she then knew that her attorney would
be seriously delaed In reaching Washing-
ton but there Is not a woid from which
such nn widersuindlng could he predi-
cated The government sent Is commis-
sioners to Washington for tho solo pur-
pose of procuring a confirmation of the
recognition by Minister Hlevcn of the
new government nnd to cnler into nego-
tiations for a political union with the
United Stutes
The protest of the queen made on
January 17 Is equally with the litter
devoid of evidence of any mutual under-
standing for the submission of her claims
to bo throne to ihe United States It Is
very evidently n protest ugalnst thc al-
leged anion of Mlnlmr St vein as well-
s the nt w boveniment and toniitis t

who brought If as nn evidence of Its sate

her appeal to tho United States It was n
matter of Indifference to its Such nn up
pen could not hao been prevented ns

That such notice and our receipt of it

curred to us until suggested to us by

Washington January IS Secretary Car
lisles retorted purposo or issuing bonds by
virtue ot thc general authority granted
tho Hccreinr of tlio treausrj under the
net of 1S75 lias aroused tho Interest of
somo leading constitutional lawyers in tho
house as to the legality ot such action It
to well understood Unit Mr Carlisle would
not resort to tho general act except for
the purpose or meeting pressing demands
for cash
Judge Culberson ot Texas chairman ol
the Judiciary committee and most If not
all his colleagues on that commlttco say
that while the secretary has tho general
light to issue bonds he can not uso the
proceeds derived rrom their sale except for
the single purposo of redeeming oiitstau
Ing treasury notes This ot course would
preclude the iwsslblllty of using tho pro-
ceeds ot the bond Issue for meeting cur-
rent expenses
Judge Culberson has made nn exhaustive
otudy of the bond question and In giving
his Mews today ho refcrresl to tho report
mudo to congress on July C lm It wan
in re i > onse to a resolution of Inquiry pre-
sented by livprescntntlve Dockeiy aiklng
whether under the oct of 1S75 the secre
tary ot the treasury had tho right to uso
tho proceeds of nny monies In the treas-
ury arising from tho nilo ot bonds for
nny purposes other than those mentioned
in tho net
Judge Culbersons report was signed by
Congressman Oates of Alabama by New
ot Indiana fitockdale of Mississippi Good-
night of Kentucky Houtner ot Doulslann
Layron ot Ohio Wolverton ot Pennsylva-
nia Follows ot New York and Huchaoan
of Virginia All ot these gentlemen with
tho exception of Messrs Fellows and
Uiiclmnnn nre members of tho present
house of representatives and are regarded
ns authorities on legal questions
In the report they nay there Is no Ilmlt
utlon upon the authority of Uio secretary
uf tho treasury to sell bonds for the pur
poso of redemption under tho act but thn
proceeds derived from such sales can not
be Used for other than redemption pur-
poses
A minority report iras also presented
nt tho time Judgo Culbersona rcrort vvan
put In Mr Itnyinond ot New Yoik Btlll
a memiT ot the house and four other
republican members Joined In tho report
Judge Culberoon says hpvvevi r that Sec-
retary Foster prepared th report Thc
minority InsLslcd llml the secretary of thn
treasury had the right not only to issuo
bonds without hny further authority from
congress but also had tho right lo uso tho
proceds from tho sale for current ex
penses
A peculiar feature of the Culberson re
port Is In rcferenco to tho emphatic lan-
guage of Mr Jlajurd now ambassador to
Clieit Britain concerning tho rcjervo
fund of 1100000100 The expression wus
used by J7r llavnid xvhitti member ot
the senate and while tho act of 1882 was
under consideration Mr Ilnynrd said
It can not bo too einpliailenlly Mated
and repeated that gold vvns bought with
bonds of tho United States with one pur
poso only It was to piocuro nnd main-
tain resumption and ir It ba uspd for any
Ihlng else It Is n perversion of tho funds
and u breach of trust
