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.
