Secretary -Gratham' Think the Qa Was TVroncfull? Depoiwd. A letter from Secretary Graham to rthe president, dated Oct. 18, concerning Hawaiian affairs, has been given out for publication. In it he takes the ground that the marines landed from, tho United States steamer Boston at the time of the revolution were not landed to protect American life and property. but to aid in overthrowing the govern ment. Their very presence, he says, implied coercive measures against it. Thepro- faional government was established by the action or the American minister and the presence of troops landed from the Boston, and its existence is due to tne belief of the Eawaiians that in an effort to overthrow it thev would encounter armed forces of the United States. Secretary Gresham thinks the great f wrong accomplished should be undone by restoring the legitimate government. Nothing snort of that will sansiyuie demands of justice. , GOVERNMENTAL GOSSIP.
