Islands, Minister Willis had presented
MS credentials in due form to the pro.
Vlslonal government, and had been re-

ot the United States. He had not

Not Re-Establlshed on Her Throne,
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.-Queen Lili-
oukalani has not been restored to her
throne. In fact, latest adyices from
Honolulu received by steamer arriving
at San Francisco Saturday are to the
eiiect that the provisional government
Is in total ignorance of any such in
tent on the part of this government.
Minister Willis presented his creden.
tails to President Dole on the 7th in
slant, and most cordial greetings were
eXchanged-greetings remarkably cor.
dial in the light of what was expected.
AS far as can be learned no intima-
ton has been given by Minister Willis
of the attitude of this government as
expressed in the letter of Secretary
Gresham. Among those arriving by
the steamer which brought news from
Honolulu the greatest surprise was ex.
pressed on their hearing that such a
letter had been written.
The News Disappointing ut Washington.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-News from
the Hawaiian islands was anxiously
awaited and was evidently disappoint-
ing The state department received a
message from Minister Willis, but its
contents were kept a profound secret.
In fact, there was an abnormal amount
of secrecy about the state department
concerning the entire situation.
Minister Willis remarks TO President
Dole are regarded as in direct conflict
with Secretary Gresham letter. How
ever, Minister Willis may be endowed
with full discretionary powers and
have chosen such IA course to work out
his instructions, which are presumed
to have been to establish the queen in
power, though on this score nothing is
known, owing to the secrecy which
| has been exercised.
VIII Deportl tho Ex. Queen ir Necessary
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20. Yesterday s
Call says:
"lf United States Minister Willis in
sists upon the reinstatement of Queen
Liliuokalani, as queen of Hawaii, that
woman will be deported from the
islands, aud the chances are that the
exequatur of President Cleveland's S en-
voy will be Cancelled and he will be re
turned to this country as persona non
grata. This is rather astonishing
news, but is what the provisional gov
ernmcnt has decided upon"
This is probably founded upon the
interview with eX-consul general tC
Hawaii, Henry Severance, who wal
asked:
'Whut will the provisional govern
ment do when a demand is made tina
the queen be restored?'
They viii probably at once cance
the exequatur of the minister making
such an absurd demand and cause hin
to return to this country"
"And rs to the queen"
"Oh she will have been disposed of.
What do you mean, that she vii
have been killed?'
"No; nothing of the kind. Their
will he no bloodshcd She will be ou
of the country. She will have beeI
deported'
"This move was contemplated SOM
time ago, was it aot?'
"Yes, said Mr.. Severance, "and /
was even spoken Of in the newspapers
but it was considered madvisable, TO
il was believed that the great Unite'
States would listen 70 reason and sucl
harsh treatment would not be neces
sary. The provisional government
now stands ready to carry out the sug
restion the moment it seems neeessar
for the safety of the powers that no,
rule the island"
"What effect will the letter of Secre
tary Gresham have on the govern
ment's action when it reached llono
lulu?'
II should not be surprised were tn
queen deported the very day." he rt
piled.
"What if the United States attempt
to nut her on the throne by force b
landing marines?'
This country will never do that. /
the first place the chances are tina
Minister Willis would find no queen I
"boost" on to the throne. No, ther
will be no force used. II Grover Clev'
land should attempt such n thing tn
people of the United States woul

though not president, could fill an
office in the United States with homo
and the other ministers are equal
capable. They are determined mel
determined to give the islands a goo'
clean government. The thinking PEI
ple want them in power, and they wi
remain there"
"About cancelling Minister Wilt
exeouatur, can the provisional go'
ernment do that?'
Most assuredly. They formed a
independent government, recognize
as such by the different nations an
they can refuse to receive ministt
