SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 81. = The

reached here at a. m. She failed to

Hawaiian throne, Minister Willis hav-
ing for some reason failed to pre-
sent the secret manifesto of the
United States government to President
Dole. The United Press correspond
ent at Honolulu, writing under date of
November II, says that President Dole
received United States Minister Albert
S. Willis on the 9Th. Mr.. Willis accom-
panied the presentation of his letter of
credence with brief address, of which
the following are the most important
expressions:
aside from the geographical poxtmtty and
consequent preponderating commercial inter-
ests which center here, the present advanced
civilization and Characterization OF your
people, together with your enlightened
course Of law. stand to-day as ten
efcisl monuments Of American zeal,
courage and intelligence. It Is not sur
prising, therefore, that the United States were
the first to recognize the independence OF the
Hawaiian islands and to welcome them into
the great family Of Free equal and sove reign
nations; nor Is it surprising that this historic
tie has been strengthened from year to year by
important mutual recproctties and agree
ments alike honorable and advantageous to
both governments. Invoking that spirit OF
friendship and hospitality which has ever been
the shield and sword Of this country, now.
upon behalf Of the United States of America,
tender to your people the right hand Of good
will which trust may be as lasting as know
II to be sincere, expressing the hope that every
year will promote and perpetuate that good
will to the honor, happiness and prosperity Of
both governments"

Minister Willis had not made public
his instructions, nor had Secretary
Gresham's letter been received or

public, Hawaiian affairs in the United
States were still in statu quo.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The story
told in the press dispatches from
Hawaii surprises the administration.
It had been confidently expected that
the tale would tell OF the queens
restoration to the throne. The report
ed speech made to Dole by Willis in
creases the surprise.
The state department is less disposed
now than ever to take the public into
its confidence on the Hawaiian ques-
ton. 1t is an indubitable fact that
those in the confidence Of the
administration have felt and ex
pressed the utmost assurance
that the Australia would bring
news that ex-Queen Liliuokalani had
already been restored to the throne.
Assertions as to Minister Willis in
structions have been almost wholly in
ferences from this and from the ex-
pressions in Secretary Gresham's pub
lished letter. The information as to
these instructions sent ont ten days
ago was received from what was
believed to be a thoroughly trust
worthy authority. This was that Min
lister Willis was to seek to induce the
provisional government to give way to
the restoration of the ex-queen, but
was to employ no force, waiting for
further instructions if he found it nee
essary.
1t may be that the public and the
press have come to wrong conclusion
as to the extent Of Minister Willis IN.
structions. They have supposed that
Secretary Gresham's letter declar-
ing what he thought ought to
be done and President Cleveland's
declaration that he agreed with
the secretary's opinion meant that
they had determined to proceed with
what they declared ought to be done.
New YORK, Nov. 20.-The Herald
prints under Washington date what
purports to be large portion of the
| report Of Commissioner Blount. II
sums up as follows:
commissioner Blount's report will show
! that Minister Stevens landed the troops
from the Boston long before there was any
valid excuse for their presence on
Hawaiian soil; that he declined to re-
move them when requested to do sc
by the government and informed that the
| authorities were willing and fully able te
preserve order and to protect American inter
ests; that these troops were stationed across
the street from the government building, IL
which Minister Stevens knew the revolu
tionists were about to read their proclama
iton and that the revoluttonIst commit
tee relied upon the American troops tG
protect them In this act OF rebel
lion; that Mr.. Stevens recognized the pro
| visional government according to precon
ceived programme before that government had
obtained possession Of the departments and
| military power at Honolulu and that the mill
/ tary power was surrendered, as the queen sur
rendered, only through awe OF the superior
