NO NEWS FOR ONE WEEK
Until Saturday Nothing Will Be
Heard From Hawaii.
THE QUEEN MAY BE RULING NOW
Natives OF the Island Think That a Show
of Force at Least WIN BE Needed to En-
throne Liiiuokalani Again - A Boston
Firm Protests.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-Unless he has
met with some accident, United States
Minister Willis has now been in Honolulu
a week, and il is not improbable that he
has carried into effect the instructions he
took with him and which have been so
well kept secret on this side of the Pacific
II he has done so, the steamer which left
Honolulu Saturday will bring the news Of
the consequent events and will reach an
outlet to the rest Of the world with Il on
next Saturday.
Whatever recourse the administration
may have determined upon TO secure the
restoration Of Queen Liliuokalani it is
very evident that Secretary Gresham does
not expect that extreme measures will have
TO be resorted to. The course proposed TO
be pursued seems to be to request the pres
ent government, in the name of the United
States, 20 give way quietly to the restora-
ton of the queen.
Believe There VIII BE Trouble.
The Hawaians in this city are very firm
in their conviction that the government
will refuse to yield to any such gentle per
suasion as that. They assert their earnest
belief that IL will require at least a show
of force to induce them TO resign the reins
Of authority. But this opinion is not unan-
imous among those familiar with affairs in
the islands. IL is pointed out how long
and severe a strain there has been on the
members Of the provisional government in
the uncertainty that has beset their posi-
tiOn. The manner and purpose OF their
creation, II is pointed out, show how de
pendent they feel upon the United States
The absolute disapproval Of them by this
government will be announced to them by
Minister Willis.
Whatever outcry Of public sentiment
there is here in sympathy with them anc
against their deposition they will be abso
lutely cut of from. All they have is vital
| ly dependent upon good order and main
tenance Of law in the country.
Any sort of assurance from Minister VIII
lis that the moral influence of the United
States government would be exerted L,
maintain stable government by the queen
and to restrain IL from such vagaries AN,
eXcesses as those of the constitution shl
sought to have adopted in January last
might tempt the members of the provi
sional government TO step aside and trus
TO the United States TO preserve their in
terests in its own way. IL is what Presi
dent Cleveland and Secretary Gresham
hoped for. though what assurances the
have authorized the minister to give as O.
future influence by this government in th
islands are not known.
Congressman O'Neill of Massachusett
has laid before Secretary Gresham an az
peal from a Boston house having large in
terests in the islands, which shows tina
all those acquainted with the condition
have not so hopeful a belief as to the ou
come of the effort to restore the queen.
The dispatch reads as follows:
Please call on proper officials and request o
behalf Of your constituents holding propert
in Honolulu and throughout the kingdom th
instructions be sent 90 the United States mir
lister 10 protect the same. We believe there
