! Auckland, N. h., Dec. 9.-The steamer
Monowai has arrived here. She left
Honolulu on Nov "a All was quiet there.
The news that President Cleveland in

excitement. 1t was discussed by excited

| generally condemned. A rumor was pub

was not willing to accept restoration

The Hawaiian Gazette of Nov. "a, says
| In the meantime the monarchy is not re-
stored and will not lie, unless by the armed

must then continue to support the ex-queen
There may be small differences in the ranks

MINISTER BAYARD TALKS.
London, Dec 9-Neither the foreign
Office nor Hawaiian charge d. affaires
| have any advices concerning Hawaii from
| Auckland to-day United States Ambas-
sadOr Bayard, when shown the special
dispatch to the Associated Press from
Auckland, read it with greatinterest, and
| then said:
President Cleveland will deal with the
weak Hawaiians in the most magnani-
nous manner, and will not force upon
them a government which they have not
haU full chance to discuss"
Regarding dispatches published in the
| Times and Standard to-day, indicating
that President Cleveland is about to re-
verse his Hawaiian policy and that new
instructions to this effect have been sent
to Hawaii, adding that the whole ques-
tiOn would be sent to congress, MIR. Bay
ard said: There can be no reversal of
policy based simply upon justice
and magnanimity. President Cleyeland's
policy is one of nOn-interference.
He had no intention of entering
the islands and dep0sing the government.
The policy Of the United States toward
Hawaii is not a selfish one, on the con-
| trary President Cleveland's intention is
that no advantage shall be taken of the
weakness of the queens party and the
queen shall have full and fair chance to
geton her feet, if possible The Hawaiian
native autonamy has heea Sd enfeebiGd by
late eveats7that [ hardly know whether
the Hawaiians can avail themselves of
the offer of the President to restore the
queen to the throne"
WILLIS NoN-COMMUNIcATIvE.
San Francisco, Cal, Dec 9. - The
United Press correspondent at Honolulu,
iv,rr 1luAar do 70 of +lo
brig w. G. Irwin, which arrived late this
afternoon, says: mo positive knowledge
has yet transpired as to Minister Willis
instructions or intended action. 1t
is the general belief now that he
came expecting to restore the
eX-queen to the throne either
directly or by intervention of popular
vote. 1t is also believed that the serious
obstacles existing to such course have
caused the delay and a reference to
Washington. The mystery is still main
tanned and the apprehension created has
produced great disturbance and irritation
in the public mind. The tension of anX-
iety and anger is greater than at any date
since the queen was dethrOned This is
wearing, painful ana depressing to all
public interests.
ATTITUDE OF THE QUEEN.
Among the obstacles to restoration is
the refusal OF the queen herself, unless
she receives the strongest guarantees that
the United States forces will maintain
her upon the throne. knowing that she
would otherwise be Immediately over
thrown again and severely dealt with.
Again, some /, 800 rifles with ammunition
are in private hands, chiefly of Amerl-
cans, ready to remove her al the earliest
possible opportunity. Furthermore the
provisional government is absolutely de-
f-,,,v, ~, Il A., !
Will firmly maintain their position. YIELD
ing it to only actual war made upon them
by superior forces of the United States.
Added to these Obstacles it is well
known that Admiral Irwin and the 0f1i-
GERS under him are reluctant to make
war, probably involving blood-shed upon
the American people of Honolulu through
their own friends and daily associates
PERILOUs TASK
IF the American minister persists in
the intentions generally ascribed to him,
he has a dificult and perilous task. His
own life, as well as that of the ex-queen,
will be in the greatest danger as soon as
his intentions became known In an IN
terview on the 10th Minister Willis said:
The whole Hawaiian question is
now in allegiance and nothing
that the newspapers can say or do will
alter the situation. l make this state
ment on my own responsibility, and in
hopes that it will allay the present ex-
citement. There is not the slightest ne
cessity for any one to stay out of bed
nights for fear of any troubleof any kind,
for none will be permitted.
A SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT.
1.-TWO days later the minister said to a
visitor to whom he refused a short con-
ference, When I am ready TO carry into
effect my instructions l shall commune
cate them to only two persons, one of
whom will be the head of the present
government, and the other the head of
the former government This was un-
derstood by the visitor to mean that Min
lister Willis counted the two persons Of
equal political Importance. The visitor
was not in special pursuit Of information,
but from the foregoing it will be seen
that he obtained some, nevertheless.
THE QUEENS ADHERENTs HOPEFUL.
"The queens adherents are extremely
hopeful and expectant but in a state of
great apprehension on account of the
very excited and irritable condition of
the American party. The queen has
within a few hours, for the first time,
solicited protection from the provisional
government. and police force has been
stationed on her premises. The govern
ment has informally intimated TO the
American yg,ipietay that fbav ia ornpl,t
