ILL-RBCEIVED. The News Brought by
 the Last Steamer Troubles the Govern ment at Washington. Impatient With the Delibera-
 tive Methods of Willis. It Becomes M ore Evident That Com missioner Blount Did Not
 Grasp the Situation.
By the Associated Press.

WAsHINGToS, Dec. 5.-The state de- partment was evidently already in- formed of the news received in the As. sociated Press dispatches from Hono- lulu via Port Townsend so far as it con- veyed the intention of Minister Willis to take no further steps toward carry ing out his instructions until he should hear further from the department. But so far as it conveyed public ut terance in Honolulu by the minister of his intentions. it was news to the de- partment, the president and the cab- inet. There were indications to show that it was not agreeable news and the impression conveyed is that the ad- ministration is rather disappointed at the mannsr in which Minister Willis has thus far conducted his mission.
 It is evident the state department received by the last steamer, the Ala meda, the news that Minister Willis had determined to defer carrying out his instructions until he heard further from the government. It is fair to pre- sume that the Corwin carries to him the further instructions for which he asks.
 The paragraph in the presidents message referring to Hawaii was writ ten after the additional instructions to Minister Willis had been dispatched. This paragraph may be taken 10 reflect the spirit of the instructions. What ever doubts Minister Willis may have expressed of the accuracy of Blount's report, the president has not lost any absolute faith In the accuracy of the Blcunt investigation and in the justice of his conclusions. It is highly proba- bic therefore, that the new instructions are repetition of the old.
 An Associated Press representative received today from a reliable source an intimation of the policy intended to be pursued in Hawaii. The extent of the active influence intended to be em- ployed in behalf of reseating Liliuo- kalani on the throne has probably been exaggerated. The purpose oi the ad- ministration is believed to be rather to act as an arbitrator between the two parties Tn dispute and endeavor to pre- vail on them to agree between them selves.
 This was contingent upon the confi- dent belief based on the explicit asser- ton contained in the last letter from Blount that the provisional government would fall to pieces when notified that annexation WAS practicable. In that letter, which has not been published, Blount under date of Honolulu, July 2l said: "The action of the United States is awaited by all as matter of neces- sity. This condition it can be assumed will remain until the proposition to an mex is accepted or rejected. In the lat ter contingency no sudden movement is likely to occur. The present govern ment can only rest on the use of mili- tary force, possessed of most of the arms on the islands with small white popu- lation to draw from to strengthen it. Ultimately it will fall without fail. It may preserve it's existence for a year or two, but no longer" Enough is known of Minister Willis impressions gained since his arrival in Honolulu to make certain that he does not agree with Blount in this.
 The Associated Press telegram bring | iug late news from Hawaii was read at the ca binet meeting today from an of fee copy in advance of publication. i It was the subject of consultation ir the cabinet. but probably caused no change in the plans decided on after hearing from Minister Willis by the Alameda. The Hawaiian minister Thurston, was not at home this morn ing, but little group of Hawaiians at the same hotel was glad to hear the news by the way of Port Townsend ano expressed the opinion that it gave cause for encouragement to friends O. the provisional government.
