WILLIS DEFENDS CLEVELAND Documentary Evidence Which Goes to Show that Dole Was "on His Dignity." Associated Press. Washington, Jan. 20. The president today submitted to congress the latest correspondence relating to Hawaii. It specification asked, the letter closing comprises some brief notes of Minister with the opinion that Dole, upon reex Willls to Secretary Gresham, which amlnatlon, will not feel at liberty to are unimportant. The most Important part of the correspondence consists of a long letter containing an enclosure of the correspondence of Dole and Willis. A letter to the secretary says, under date of January 5th, 1894: "On Wednesday, the 27th ult., at 12 a. m., future action of the administration, the steamship Oceanic arrived with the 'Then followed a letter of Willis Bug newspaper containing the president's geBting the withdrawal from the gov- special message In full, togetlx.r 'with tnstructlons to Blount and myself.

Believing these charges, whether Intended or not, reflected very uniustly ,pon the president, whose agent I was, at C p. m. of the same day, Monday, January 1, I replied asking ti, HPRirod Rnecinciitlons be fur- nished at the earliest convenience. No reply has been received to this request, nor have I any Intimation that one may be expected. This delay in an - ' , swerlng is a great Burprlse and regret. I am fully prepared to show every step taken bv the representatives of our,reoras bv either government." government has been In the direction of peace and good order." Dole says In his first letter to Willis, referred to by the latter In his letter to Gresham: "Pending further action of the government of the United States upon the matter contained In your com munication of December 19th, and my reply to the same under date of Decem ber 23d, I desire to call your excellen cy's most serious consideration To the dangerous and critical condition of this . , T , ,11 community, iuibi8, x n,uu icc-nuny submit, out of the attitude which you used in public and in a communicaUon to this government, and also out , of the unpublished letter of the secretary of state of the United States and the president's message upon the subject of the restoration of the monarchy. I do not, however, claim or Intimate that this unfortunate situation has been In tentionally created by you or by the government which you represent, but arises from the natural construction nf your attitude and the ambiguous terms of the statements referred to. Tour lnncriince expressed in public declared you Intended to perform some act when the proper time arrived, without dis closing what that act would be. Under these circumstances there arose at once a general feeling of disquiet. The nat ural Inference from your attitude, lan guage and refusal .to disclose your pur- . - ihH i junc, - .. . ,- onn 1 1 1 1! 1 1 i Ti i liii in b hi it i Him the president's message, was that yeo Intended to use force in maintaining your oolicy. It is a fact well known that you, as admitted In your com munication of December 19, without the sonsent or knowledge of this gov. . fcava li..M ni?nt l.ri tiring u-itH c ' , r the deposed queen for the purpose of overthrowing? this government. The apprehensions of both political parties, n. uell as that of persons who retnaln neutral in these mattera. is that you I hold instructions to use physical force fr the restoration of the monarchy. j "In consequence of yof attitude in this behalf th enemies' of this gr,v- ernment, believing jour . lnu-nuon to be to restore the -mommh? by fouj, ,,.,; hecome emboldened and threats . r., .u, M brought by the steamer of assflssjnation of ihc-nflicer of th!s'to Ban FTan,,,J0O last n,chti government have been made. . Owing to your attitude the government has befell compelled by the public apprehen sion to largely increase its military forse at great expense. I have there fore to nsk you to inform me with the least delay whether you hold Instruc tions to enforce your policy with the use of arms." The remainder of the correspondence consists,, of communications between Willis and Dole arising out of state ments made in the lattcr'a letter as glvn above. Under date of December 27,-jVrillis Bubmits that as these state ments reflect upon the president of the United States and his diplomatic agen, theyahould,. In view of their gravity, be setr1" forth with more particularity and certainty." Each important state- ' ment in the Dole letter is cited, and a affix his signature to such an. extraor dinary declaration. December 29th Dole replied that It was not. necessary to go further Into the matter, as the pres ldent's message to congress satlsfac torlly answered the question as to the ernment records of all this correspond- ence, to which Dole politely declined to assent Following Is the president's message transmitting to the house the Hawa iian corresrondenco; "I transmit herewith dispatches re 1 arrival of my message at Honolulu with copies of the Instructions given . , mll.,ulp Hi,-4 fiMm, a land." Under date of December 27th, Willis ! wre, Dole: ,"Y,our communication i Bwer except fpr the Btatement reflect- Ing upon the president of the United f States and his diplomatic agent in this country, which, in view of their grav- k.,ih t .,t..it.. k set forth with more particularity and certainty."

Under date of December 29, Willis win uyjiv. aiii x 10 unueiiunu , your communication of the latter date withdrawn? If this Is your Intention as I hope it is, I think it would be for ! Jne nest interests or an, to suggest that the original letters be returned to their I authors, and that no copies be given i to the public, or made a part of the Dole then writes that it is not hl9 in tentlon to withdraw any of his let- tors. The correspondence ends here, wllh tho matter apparently brought up to the point nf Dole's reply furnishing the upccliicatlons dcslrvd. STEVENS' STOUT.

He Characterizes Certain Statements as Utterly Groundless. Washington, Jan. 20. Secretary Her- Dero nas just received an omclal report from Admoral Irwin. In command of the United StateB naval force at Hon olulu. The report is dated January 2, 1894. It says: "Military preparatlont for defense continue to be made by the provisional government, and the ex citement is unabated. The newspapers quote me as saying I would not obey any orders which I considered unlaw ful, nnd that the officers and men un der my command assumed the same attitude. These sensational reports are Intended to Influence public opinion in the United States and are entirely without foundation. It has been as serted that we have often been pre pared to land, which is true, but our motives were Intentionally misconstrued as Willis stated openly, and his state ment was published, that he would land solely for the purpose of suppress ing riot and to protect the lives and property of the defenseless. Were It not for the course of tha newspapers in their endeavor to lnlluence public opinion In the United States, no un easiness would be felt, and business' would go on as usual. , ' ' BRUTALITY OP POLICE. , German Officers Make an Unprovoked Assault on Worklngman.
