24th said: I'm the meantime the mon
archy is not restored, and will not be un-
less by the armed forces of the United
States, whose forces must then continue
to support the Queen. There may be
small differences in the ranks Of the party
OF reform, but we are to-day more united
and determined on the main issue than
every before. Let every retormer put
aside all other and minor things. AS
surely as there is eternal justice over the
ruling affairs Of men, so surely will tho
gross outrage proposed to be done to Ha-
Wali fail In its purpose"
THE ARAwA NOT YET IN.
CHICAGO, Dec. S.-Victoria reports that
the Canadian Pacific steamer Arawa is
not expected in before morning. There
was no sign OF her at midnight.
THURsTON's INSTRUCTIONS TO THE PRO
VISIONAL GOVERNMENT.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. SIT is known
positively here by the Associated Press
that the plan of action, as outlined by
Minister Thurston to friends in Wash
ington before he left for Honolulu is
identical with the instructions forwarded
to Honolulu November 10th by the War
rimoo. 1t will be remembered that
Cleveland's policy regarding Hawaii was
made public only few days before the
Warrimoo sailed from Vancouver.
Thurston Immediately sent dispatch to
Vancouver and had IL forwarded by the
Warrimoo to Honolulu, where it was de-
livered to the Provisional Government
November 23d. In that dispatch Thurs
ton gave the substance of a conversation
he had with Gresham on various points,
and also advised the Provisional Govern
ment, as indicated in the Associated
Press dispatch from Washington to-day.
THE STATEMENT UNAUTHENTICATED.
accompanied by II. y. Castle, editor of the
Honolulu AdUertjSer, passed through
Chicago tonight en- route 10 San Fran
cisco. Thurston was shown a copy of the
Associated Press dispatch received by the
schooner Transit, and said: This is
news to me. l really cannot say any
thing about it; l have no business to-"
Castle, who had been reading the dis
patch, broke in with, SIS it reported that
Willis said, pending advices from Wash
ington he would stand behind the Pro-
visional Government" Upon being in
formed that Willis said so, Castle laughed
heartily, remarking, willis is evidently
a man of sense. l hardly think Willis
made the remark" Castle went on:
1.-The only thing that would make me
think that he said it is, that ever since he
has been on the Sandwich Islands he has
been talking in a manner dictatorial and
audacious in the extreme"
Regarding the Washington dispatch
outlining the policy said TO have been
agreed upon by the Provisional Govern
ment Thurston said, ''Such statement is
unauthorized"
THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENTS PLAN
OF ACTION.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Minister Thurs
ton, before leaving for Honolulu, told
some friends of the Provisional Govern
ment that plan of action had been
agreed upon by the Government and
would be carried out. The Provisional
Government has LOO men under arms
ready to respond at the signal of bell.
This force Will not be permitted to fire on
the United States marines if landed.
Neither will the Provisional Government
lay down its arms and leave the Govern
ment building upon the request of Minis
ter Willis, even after the marines have
landed.
The Provisional Government will re-
main until its members are arrested and
taken out. 1t will resist any interference
by any other than an armed force of the
United States. With its military force in
command it will not allow supporters of
the Queen to enter the palace or disturb
the peace.
This is the programme as outlined by
Thurston to his friends here before de-
parting for Honolulu.
1t is also positively asserted that Thurs
ton is going to Honolulu, whatever may
have been said regarding his visit to Chi
cago and San Francisco to look after Ha-
waiian affairs in those cities.
Thurston's statement as to the plan of
the Provisional Government tallies with
the advice sent by him, after reading
Gresham's letter to the President, urging
President Dole to stand firm and yield TO
nothing but actual force. Friends of the
Provisional Government feel confident
that Dole has been firmly intrenched in
this determination, and by what has been
heard from Thurston it seems altogether
unlikely that the Provisional Govern
ment has been disturbed in its hold.
a gentleman entitled to speak with au-
thority says Gresham's letter to the Presi-
dent was published in the confident be-
lief that moral Suasion alone would SUI
flee to effect the Queens restoration. This
mischief was based on explicit statements
in Blount's report. 1t is believed that the
Administration has no intention Of using
force. II is likely that it will be several
days before the whole history of the mat
ter is laid before the Senate. The Navy
Department is having copied all corre-
spOndence relating to naval matters in
Hawaiian waters since 1889. This viii
occupy some time. The exhibit to be
offered the Senate will be complete.
The failure 10 secure exact advices as to
Minister Willis course leads to some
embarrassment as to the transmission of
correspondence to Congress, as the tenor
of the message accompanying the papers
will necessarily be influenced by the con-
dition of affairs in Hawaii at the time of
writing.
At Cabinet meeting to-day the situa-
ton came in for share Of attention, but
owing to the meager news from the
\.
short of definite results. No exact time
was fixed for sending to Congress the
correspondence and papers. The depart
ure Of Thurston was not commented on
at the Cabinet meeting, and the indiffer
ence felt as to the Minister'S movements
was shown by remark Of Cabinet
officer after the meeting, that he had not
even heard OF ThurstOn's leaving Wash
ington. 1t can be stated explicitly that
there was no understanding arrived at
between Gresham and Mr.. Thurston be-
fore the latter's departure from Washing
ton as TO the course the United States
would pursue in Hawaii.
CLEVELAND TAKING A BACK TRACK.
New YORK, Dec S.-The Commercial
AdpertiSeY'S Washington special says:
The impression among leading Demo-
Gratis in Congress is gaining ground that
Cleveland is going to take the back track
in Hawaiian affairs, and the object of
dispatching a special messenger on the
revenue cutter to Honolulu was to coun-
termand his instructions TO Willis, if not
too late.
It's said the public will probably never
learn lust what the instructions to Willis
were, as those put in writing were very
general. and the important particular in
structions were verbal. The written in
structions are to be interpreted by the
verbal explanation of their purpose.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
