urday will bring the news of the ccnse-
quent events, and will reach an outlet to
the rest Of the world with it on next Sat
urday.
There was no surprise when advices re-
oeived by the steamer arriving at San Fran
cisco today from Honolulu stated that the
Hawaiians and the protectorate govern
ment, after three days Of residence In the
islands by Minister Willis, were still in
| ignorance of the communication to Presi-
dent Dole
Secretary Gresham says that it would
be impossible to hear of the effect Minister
| Willis announcement had until the ar
rival of the steamer which sailed from
Honolulu last Saturday, or four days after
Admiral Skerrett, who has been relieved
by Rear Admiral Irwin, departed. 1t is in
| ferred from this that Minister Willis was
instructed not to make known his com
munication until after the steamer and
admiral had left
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-It is learned on
good authority that the cabinet is a unit
in Its endorsement of President Cleve-
lands plan for the restoration of Queen
Liliuokalani. This fact was developed
after the conclusion of yesterday S cabinet
meeting.
! 1t is a fact that for several months past
the provisional government has recog-
nized that there was no hope of securing
annexation to the United States and they
have felt fully the obligation upon them
under these circumstances of providing
| permanent form Of government for the
| islands, The form of the proposed gov
ernment has been discussed, and it has
been proposed to call it a commonwealth.
! 1t is expected that President Dole will
.
the contention Of Minister Willis that his
government-the government to which
| Willis is accredited-has expired by its
own limitation Should Minister Willis
| decline TO recognize the validity OF that
argument and President Dole determine
to follow his contention, so far as lay IN
| his power, his next step Is expected 20 be
/ 70 formally notify the United States min
lister that he would not yield without the
| employment OF force, and that he would
| regard the landing OF troops from the
/ meu-of-war to enforce his deposition as an
! act Of war.
| WAsHINGToN, Nov. 16.-Those best quail
] lied 10 speak for President Cleveland and
! Secretary Gresham, who have been will
/ ing to speak at all, have expressed great
confidence that ex-Queen Liliuokalani has
/ already been restored 10 her throne no
later than Wednesday Of last week. The
! equally confident assertions Of those best
acquainted with the character and re-
! sources Of the provisional government
that she could not have been restored
| without force, has made no difference, ap-
/ parently, In the confidence OF those who
claim that she has been restored. This
has led TO the inference that Minister Will
lis instructions were 10 employ force, II
necessary.
The rather cordial reception accorded
on Tuesday by Secretary Gresham to Min
lister Thurston's official call, and his
formal acknowledgements of the unsevered
relation between the legation and the
government, makes it seem Incredible
that instructions have been given to land
marines in Honolulu for purposes Of ag.
preston upon the government which Mr..
Thurston represents.
No information can be secured on the
subject, but the belief Is growing that
Minister Willis instructions did not in
clude the employment Of force. The con
fidence Of those near the president that
the queen has been already restored
thought TO be due TO their belief that the
provisional government would yield i'm
mediately TO the suggestion Of the United
States minister that the provisional gov
eminent had terminated and the SOW
erignity thereof reverted TO the queen and
her government Il is now believed that
Minister Willis instructions are, II the
provisional government refuses TO yield 10
his suggestion, 20 await for further orders.
