STRANGE NEWS FROM HONOLULU

From What Seemed
Landing Force.

If Omitted States Minister Willis insists
upon the reinstatement of Liliuokalani,
will be deported from the islands, and the
chances are that the exequatur of Presi-
. dent Cleveland's envoy will be cancelled
and he will be returned to this country as
persona non grats.
This is rather astonishing news, but it is
fact, and is what the Provisional Gov
eminent of those islands has decided upon.
The steamship Australia arrived early
yesterday morning. The news she brings
Is mostly of a negative nature. but it is
most important, as it has curious bear
: ing upon the situation. Prior to the sail
ing of the steamship Minister Willis had
presented his credentials TO the Provisional
Government. bad been introduced all
around. but had not said a word as to the
future policy of the United States. The
letter written by Secretary Gresham. which
has been discussed In the newspapers for a
week past. had net, of course, reached the
islands, nor will 1t arrive there until No
vember 81. when the Monowai reaches the
port.
But the members of the Provisional Gov
ernment knew that some coup d'etat was
pending, and so did others who were on
the inside. The CALL correspondent writ
ing from Honolulu at noon on November
II says:
The new Minister has made no sign as to
.Cieveland's policy in regard 10 us, except as
may be learned from the Enclosures. but he
gives mysterious hints of some unpleasant duty
yet 10 perform; what that is we cannot learn.
/ know that the Government has received moth
ing from him up TO the steamers leaving either
officially or otherwise.
- This hint of "unpleasant duty" had been
received by the Provisional Government as
well as by the cores pondent and they had
carefully considered the matter in all its
q bearings. They evidently knew pretty
: we'll what the unpleasant duty" was to
be; namely, the insisteuce by the United
States Minister that Liliuokalani be rein
stated, and they decided to take the bull
by the horns the moment Mr.. Willis
showed his hand. and bring the matter
then and there to crisis by ordering the
ex-Queen out of the country.
This news comes from a most reliable
source. There arrived on the Australia
Henry W. Severance, who was Consul
. General to Hawaii under Mr.. Harrison .
administration. and who was recently sue
ceeded by W. II. Mills. Mr.. SeveraDc ce
was a warm friend of John L. Stevens, the
hry u
BIount, and was an acknowledged friend
of the annexationists. Since the hosting of
: the stars and stripes at Honolulu he has
been kept Informed Of every act and de-
cision of the Provisional Government, and
he comes from the islands with the very
latest authoritative information. Yester-
!: day he was asked this question:
j: "What will the Provisional Government
: do when a demand is made that the Queen
be IestoredP"
"They will probably at once cancel the
exeQuatur of the Minister making such an
absurd demand and cause him to return to
his country"
:. "ADd as to the Queen7"
"Ob, she will have been disposed Of"
=" .'Whatl Do you mean that she will
have been killed?"
..''No. Nothing of the kind. There will
: be no bloodshed. She will be out of the
country. She will have been deported."
:: "This move was contemplated some
:. time ago, was it not?"
= YES" said Mr.. Severance, ''and it was
h,t
was considered iDadyisable. for then il
was believed that the great United States
would listen to reason, and such harsh
treatment would not be necessary. The
Provisional Government now stands ready
to carry ou: the suggestion the moment il
seems necessary for the safety OF the
powers that now rule the islands"
What effect will the letter of Secretary
gresham have on the Governments action
wien 1t reaches Honolulu ?"
Il should not be surprised were the
Queen deported the very next day." he re-
piled.
W nat II the United States attempts to
put her on the throne by force, by landing
marines?"
This country will never do that. In
the flrst place the chances are Minister
Willis would find no Queen to boost onto
the throne. No, there will be no force
used. Ii Grover Cleveland should attem pt
such thing the people of the United
States would raise such cry that he yould
at once be called to his senses. Mr.. CIeye-
lands great mistake is that he does n ot
not know the caiiber of the men he is
dealing with. They are every bit as bright
