WASHINGTON. Nov. 1o.-NothnR has occurred
to-day TO lessen the disappointment OF the
Cleveland Administration over the unpleasant
news received yesterday. to the effect that
Minister Willis had not. up to the date OF the
sailing Of the steamer Australia on the 18th
inst. attempted to carry out his instructions
to restore Queen Liliuokalani to the Hawaiian
throne. That his instructions did contemplate
the restoration OF the Queen there Is no
doubt. 1t Is also an admitted fact that
the President and Secretary Gresham
hone TO DO informed on the arrival
OF the next steamer that Minister Willis
has succeeded in his mission, The opinion OF
public men here. however Is that the Admin
tration has been defeated In its policy OF re-
storing the monarchy. 1t seems certain, also.
that IL the negotiations Of Minister Willis are
| still pending when Minister Thurston's de-
spatches reclting the state Of opinion In the
| United States reach Honolulu. the restoration
| programme will be buried out Of sight
There is every indication that President
| Cleveland and Secretary Gresham are greatly
! disturbed. Late last night they talked over
| the unsatisfactory situation. and this after
noon the consultation was continued at length.
| Secretary Herbert still insists that no de-
spatches have been received by the naval
| cipher code since the arrival OF the steamer
Australia at San Francisco yesterday. and IL il,
therefore. presumable that the only infor-
| nation received In Washington yesterday was
the brief kilograms to Secretary Gresham and
Minister Thurston. saying that Minister
| Willis had presented his credentials and taken
| no steps toward restoring the Queen.
Surprise ia expressed that the steamers ar
| rival brought no information to clear up the
uncertainty and mystery which has surround
| ed the whole subject for over two weeks. and
| 1t seems probable that there will be no change
| in the situation on the Islands until after the
| arrival OF the steamer which sailed from VAN
| couver on Thursday last and which will beat
the Monowai into port by fully day. The an
| tlcipated arrival OF the Vancouver steamer be-
| fore the Monowai gets in Ia regarded here By
officials with some apprehension. as it
is known that she carried important
communications from Minister Thurston to
President Dole informing him OF the Presi-
dents programme. and no doubt urging him
to keep n sharp eve on Minister Willis. BY
sending his communication on this steamer
Minister Thurston executes flank movement
on the state Department officials, and unless
Minister Willis shall have outlined TO Presi-
dent Dole his intentions before the Vancouver
steamer gets In. tho Provisional Government
will first hear OF Secretary Gresham's letter
from their Minister in Washington. The re-
port that the Monowai had anchored
thirty miles outside Of the Golden
Gate on eFriday night and would there
wait any message the Administration
desired to send Minister Willis after the Aus
tralia got in is stated to be without fOunda-
tion. 1t is believed that IL was the original in
tention OF tho State Department to hold the
Monowai until the Australia reached port but
on Friday it was known here that the Vancou-
YER steamer had left the day before and had
aboard messages from Mr. Thurston to the
Provisional Government which would convey
the first news Of the Administrations action.
and II was then decided to let the Monowai

to Honolulu She lie a slow boat. however |
and while the Vancouver steamer has 400 |
miles further to travel she has the advantage |
OF days time. and will easily beat the other |
boat in. Minister Thurston expects the Mono !
wal to arrive on Friday. seven days out from |
San Francisco and the Vancouver steamer a |
day earlier. While two steamers have left the |
United States In the last three days. and two |
more go this week to Hawaii. the outlook for |
steamers from Hawaii bringing any further
news is not encouraging. The China

MIR. Willis from Washington. Mr.. Thurston

Government that he wants Just now. aud I'M
