EXECUTIVE MANSION, _January 13, 1894_.

_To the Congress_:

I transmit herewith copies of all dispatches from our minister at Hawaii
relating in any way to political affairs in that country, except such as
have been heretofore laid before the Congress.

I also transmit a copy of the last instructions sent to our minister,
dated January 12, 1894, being the only instructions to him not already
sent to the Congress.

In transmitting certain correspondence with my message dated December
18, 1893, I withheld a dispatch from our present minister, numbered
3 and dated November 16, 1893, and also a dispatch from our former
minister, numbered 70 and dated October 8, 1892. Inasmuch as the
contents of the dispatch of November 16, 1893, are referred to in the
dispatches of a more recent date, now sent to Congress, and inasmuch
as there seems no longer to be sufficient reason for withholding said
dispatch, a copy of the same is herewith submitted. The dispatch
numbered 70 and dated October 8, 1892, above referred to, is still
withheld for the reason that such a course still appears to be
justifiable and proper.

GROVER CLEVELAND.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, _January 20, 1894_.

Government, addressed to our minister, Mr. Willis, and delivered to him
a number of hours after the arrival at Honolulu of a copy of my message
to Congress on the Hawaiian question, with copies of instructions given
to our minister.

GROVER CLEVELAND.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, _January 22, 1894_.

_To the Congress_:

Hawaii after the arrival of those copies which accompanied my message
