The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1893-11-23


in the Associated Press dispatch last
night, the officers OF the state depart
ment fully believe that Queen Liliuo-
kalaui has by this time been restored
10 the throne. While they do not fix
any precise time as to when the rein
stalIment took place, they believe that
force was not necessary. Itseems, how
ever, that while actual force may not
have been authorized, there was to be
such show OF force as would make the
provisional government believe that the
United States would use all the power
at it's command to bring about the re-
storation. The statement was also made
that il Mr.. Dole refused to accede to the
demands of Minister Willis he would be
thrust aside and the queen restored,
even if the administration would have
to 20 to Congress for authority. At the
same time it was claimed that there
would be no necessity for any such
action, as the information from the ia-
lands was to the effect that everything
was working precisely as expected.
One reason for the belief in some
quarters that the restoration had taken
place Yesterday, and would take place
about this time, was because of the
assertion often made that unless the
restoration took place before the arrival
Of the first steamer from the United
States, since the attitude OF this admin
istration had been made public, it would
not be made at all, because the senti-
ment in the United States and the re-
port OF Minister Thurston to the pro-
yisional government would have tend
ency to sustain them and cause them to
resist Minister Willis efforts at restora'
ton.
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
This phase OF the case was suggested
to the state department to-day and q re-
ply received that it made no difference
whether Mr.. Thurston has been able to
communicate with the provisional gov
eminent or not, or when that govern
ment would offer any resistance, the
restoration would go on just the same.
1t was claimed that not only the in-
formation furnished by Mr.. Blount but
the reports received since Minister Will
lis arrived at Honolulu was to the effect
that the provisional government was
sustained on the supposition that the
United States man-ot-war was IN the
harbor for that purpose, and that as
soon as it was known that the United
States would not sustain the provisional
government, but was determined to
undo what had been done by the revo-
lutionists, that the public would imme-
diately compel the restoration OF the
queen and the provisional government
would fall and its members would
hasten to take advantage Of the amnesty
which Minister Willis would insist that
the queen should grant upon being re.
stored to power. The Alameda Is OK
pccted to arrive tomorrow morning
At the department there is not much
expectation of any important news be-
ing received by her, although such a
thing is barely possible, yet 1t Ia the
general impression that nothing trans
pired between the time when the Aus
tralia sailed and the departure OF the
Aimeda. It was not possible, at the
time the AImeda sailed, for information
to reach the islands concerning what
had happened in the United States, or
that the intention of the administration
TO restore tho queen had been deter
mined upon. If Minister Willis had
pursued the same course since the de-
parture Of the Australia that he pursued
up to that time the people OF Hawaii,
outside of very few, would be aware Of
his intention, and he would be allowed
to pursue his plans without much in
terruption.
WHY THEY BELIEVE IT.
The basis Of the belief that Liliuoka-
lani was restored yesterday is supposed
to bo the dispatch which was received
by the Australia from Minister Willis.
II is said that this reported Minister
Willis's confident expectation that there
would be no interruption to the pro-
gress OF carrying out his instructions
and all the preiiminaries have been sue
Gossfully attended to. It is asserted
that tho progress reported by Minister
Willis has been 80 satisfactory that 1T
has not 5een considered necessary to
send him anything further since he re-
Ceived his original instructions. OH
cials in the state department assert that
the statement issued by Minister
Thurston this morning would furnish
abundant ground for giving him his
passports If this government felt in
clined to send them to him. In the
present state OF the public mind, how
ever, it is thought that this might seem
like depriving a man OF the right to
