San Francisco lper barkentue w. G.
Irwin Honolulu, November 22.-Since
adylceS by the schooner Transit, which
sailed three days ago, the ex-queen
has applied to the provisional govern
ment for protection, claiming that
she fears violence from foreign resi-
dents.
The government at once granted her
request and Il detail Of six police was
at once ordered by the marshal They
are now guarding Washington Place
in three watches of ten men each.
IN a., interview with Attorney Gen
eral Smith it is learned that the gov
eminent does not anticipate any pres
ent political disturbance or any trou-
bic Of any kind until the United States
is hear from on the contingency"
mentioned by Minister Willis. Even
then the attorney general said that
trouble was not anticipated unless a
determination was reached to restore
the eXqueen which could not at pres
cnt be believed.
AS 10 the course thus far pursued
by Minister Willis the attorney general
declined to express any opinion beyond
saying he thought perhaps the Amcri-
can minister had been rather unguard-
cd III some of his remarks concerning
diplomatic affairs.
The Associated Press learned yester-
day directly from Washington Place
that the cX-queen fully understands
her danger III case the United States
should restore her to power and that
she declared to Minister Willis during
late visit to Snow cottage that she
would have to decline Il restoration,
unless it was granted with the armed
protection of the United States.
The political strain continues very
great. The provisional government I'M
doubleday commands the situation and
the marshal has matters arranged SO
that 1t would be impossible for ;ln at
tack to be made upon the executive
building without half an hours notice
10 the government forces.
One prominent gentleman reports
Minister Willis as saying that when
h got ready to act us the executive
off Ger of the United States there
W
notified, viz: The head of the proyi-
sional government and the head of the
former government. The theory of res
tafation has caused considerable anNi-
ETY. and investigation IL government
circles shows that such denounce-
ment would cause immediate trouble.
1t is learned after careful inquiry that
one line of official investigation has
1eS eloped the fact that the eX-qucen
shortly expects the return of eX-Prin-
cess kaiulani from England. 1t is also
thought that Theo. H. Davis comes as
her political agent to effect COM
promise in case the United States
finds it impracticable or impossible to
restore the ex-queen should such be
its intent
The theory is advanced that should
President Cleveland be determined
en- the restoration of the monarchy
the ex-princass will be present to rep
resent the former government in case
the ex-queen is unavailable 1t is al
SO said that i'll such an event applica-
ton will be made by the eXqueen for
a life pension from the United States.
1t is said that kaiulani will appeal
to Great Britain i'll case of trouble, ii
she secured the throne.
The Associated Press is able to
state that the bill separating the of
fees of the president of the provision
government and the ministry of for
eiGn affairs will be passed within 4
week and that Hon. +. NJ Hatch. Il
IN and mann.
Der of the advisory council. will be
appointed minister of foreign affairs
Later, l p. m.-The natives have dis
covered that police are stationed
around Washington Place and con
siderable excitement prevails among
Them as the fact that the eN-queeu
has applied to the provisional gov
ernment for protection has not YET
leaked out and the natives surmist
that the government has the ex
queen under surveillance. Since the ar
rival of the British cruiser, Champion
4 rumor has been set afoat from nj
tive sources that in case of restoration
the e2-queen or ex-princeSS, which
ever it may be, will apply to Grea
Britain for the future protection o
the monarchy.
