HONOLULU, II. l., Dec. 8. 1Sg3.-Al-
though the situation has not virtually
changed in the three days which have
elapsed since the sailing Of the steamer
Oceanic, several matters OF more or less
Importance have transpired, and the
latest diplomatic communications be
tween Minister Willis and the provls-
ional government have been secured
by the Associated Press. On Nov. ~
President Dole addressed note to
Minister Willis, in which it was stated
that the provisional government had
received notice from Minister Ihurston
of Secretary Gresham's letter. The
provisional government wished to IN
Quire, first, if 1t was correct and, If so,
intimated that it was due to them to be
informed what were the Intentions OF
the United States in relation to the
recommendations of the secretary of
state. On Dec. 2 reply was received by
President Dole, in which Minister Willis
stated in substance that he considered
the letter of Secretary Gresham DO
meStic matter, with which he (WilliS)
had nothing TO do. 1t was his opinion,
however, that President Cleveland
would decide to furnish definite in
formation and instructions as soon as he
had received certain advlces which had
already been transmitted to him. 1t
was Minister Willis opinion that Pres
ident Cleveland would be able to come
TO a conclusion because he was anxious

A previous note had also been re-
ceived from Minister Willis, in which
it was understood he acquiesced in the
notice served upon him that no troops
should be landed from the United
States men-of-war without the writer n
consent Of the provisional government.
On Dec. Z, the executive and advisory
councils of the government met to con-
slider the question of investigating the
conduct and loyalty of number of en-
ployes known to be royalists or royaist
sympathizerS The matter had been
discussed III the cabinet, but 10 conclu-
sion had been reached, and Minister
Damol suggested that the advice of the
advisory council be asked. The matter
was taken up in open session before
large number of visitors, and resulted
in the passage OF the following rsSolu-
tions with but one dissenting voice:
Resolved, That il is the opinion of this
advisory council that the executive
should proceed upon an investigation as
to the loyalty of all employees of the gov
ernment and the support given by them
to it.
Resolved, That in the determination
of the loyalty of the employees to the
government. the standard shall include
active support of this government and
its purposes in the past. The grounds
upon which the advisory council based
the necessity for their action are briefly
summarized from f. NJ. Hatch's speech
in their support, as follows:
1--WE are in au
ANOMALOUS CONDITION.
Though the existing and ouly gov
ernment, we have been discredited in
the eyes of the world by the utterances
of Secretary Gresham. We now have

ourselves. The lady across the way
still claims to be queen, and appeals to
foreign power-the United States-to
reinstate her. AS long as this state of
affairs continues we are in the midst
a conflict and must keep in the employ
