RESTORATION OF THE QUEEN.
How the Provisional Government
Might Step Out.
MATTER OF MORAL INFLUENCE.
But There Are Still Fears That Blood
Will Flow if Liliuokalani Re-
gains the Throne.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL. Whatever
course the administration may have de-
termined upon to secure the restoration of
Queen Liluokalani it is very evident Sec
retary Gresham does not expect that ex-
treme measures will have to be resOrted
to-. The course proposed TO be pursued
seems to be to request the Government in
the lame of the United States to give way
quietly TO the restoration Of the Queen.
The Hawaiians of this city are very firm
in the conviction that the Provisional
Government will refuse 10 yield to any
such gentle persuasion. They assert an
earnest belief that it will require at least
show of force to induce them to resign
the reins of authority. But this opinion
is not unanimous among those familiar
with affairs in the Islands. 1t is pointed
out how long and severe the strain there
had been on the members of the Provis-
ioDal Government in the uncertainty that
is to be set on their position. The manner
and purpose of their creation, it is pointed
out, shows how dependent they feel upon
the United States. Absolute disapproyal
of them by this Government will be an
nounced to them by Minister Willis.
Whatever outcry of public sentiment
there is here in sympathy with them and
against their deposition they will be abso-
lutely cut off from. All they have been
vitality dependent upon was good order and
the maintenance of law in the country.
ANY scrt of assuIa ance from Minister
Willis that the moral influence of the
United States Government will be exerted
to maintain stable government by the
Queen and restrain it from such vagaries
and excesses as the constitution she sought
to have adopted January last. might tempt
the memb bers of the Provisional Govern
ment TO step aside and trust to the United
States to preserve their interests in its
own way. This is what Cleveland and
Gresham hope for, though what assur-
auces they authorized the Minister to give
as to the future influence by this Govern
ment in the islands is not known.
Congressman O'Neill Of assachusetts.
laid before Secretary Gresham an appeal
from Boston house having large inter-
ests in the islands, which shows that all
those acquainted with the conditions are
not hopeful as to the outcome of the effort
to restore the Queen. The dispatch reads
as follows:
L. A. Thurston, the Hawaiian Minister,
has not arrived at Washington. and it is
believed he Is speeding across the country
to take the next steamer for Honolulu.
DENVER, Nov. 12--F. NJ. English. ex-
Secretary OF Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii,
who. since she was depose1. has been liv-
ing at Denver. is jubilant over the position
of Secretary Gresham. Mr.. English SAYS
the facts set forth by Secretary Gresham's
letter were absolutely correct. As for war
and bloodshed he laughs at the idea.
"BosToN, Nov. 1l.-Please call on the
proper officials and request on behalf of
your constituents holding property in
Honolulu and throughout the kingdom
that instructions be sent the United States
Minister to protect the same. We believe
there is great danger of bloodshed and
destruction of property. Have telegraphed
Senator Hoar these facts.
CHARLES BREWER 81 Co."
