Not he Accomplished-Iron win BE Put
ON the Free List.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The officers Of
the state department fully believe that the
queen has by this time been restored to the
throne. While they do not fix any precise
time as to when the reinstatement took
place, they believe that force was not neces-
sary. 1t seems, however, that while actual
force may not have been authorized there
was to be such a show of force as would
make the provisional government believe
that the United States would use all the
power at its command to bring about the
restoration. The statement was also made
that if Mr.. Dole refused To accede TO the
demands of Mr.. Willis he would be thrust
aside and the queen restored, even if the
administration should have to 60 to con-
gress for authority.
At the same time il was claimed that
there would be no necessity for any such
action, as the information from the islands
was to the effect that ateverything was work.
ing precisely as expected.
One reason for the belief in some quar-
| ters that the restoration had taken place
| Tuesday was because of the assertion often
made that unless the restoration took place
the United States since the attitude of this
administration had been made public, it
would not be made at all, because the SEN
timent of the United States and the report
/ of Minister Thurston to the provisional
| government would have a tendency TO sus-
tain them and cause them to resist Minis
ter Willis efforts at restoration.
willis Was Confident.
This phase of the case was suggested to
the state department. and a reply was re-
ceived that it made no difference whether
| Mr. Ihurston had been able to communi-
cate with the provisional government or
not, even if that government would offer
any resistance, the restoration would go ON
just the same.
1t WIS claimed that not only the infor-
nation furnished by Mr.. Blount, but the
reports received since Minister Willis ar
rived at Honolulu, was TO the effect that
the provisional government was sustained
on the supposition that the United States
man-of-war was in the harbor for that pur-
pose. and that as soon as it was known
that the United States would not only not
sustain the provisional government, but
was determined to undo what had been
done by the revolutionists and by the al
legged assistance of Minister Stevens, the
I
restoration of the queen and the provisions
| al government would fall, and its meme
bers would hasten to take advantage Of
the amnesty which Minister Willis would
insist that the queen should grant upon
being restored to power.
The Alameda is expected to arrive to-
day. At the department there is not much
expectation Of any important news being
received by her, although such a thing is
barely possible. Yet it is the general i'm
preston that nothing transpired between
the time when the Australia sailed and the
departure Of the Alameda
1t was not possible at the time the Ala
media sailed for information to reach the
islands concerning what had happened in
the United States, or that the intention of
the administration to restore the queen
had been determined upon, if Minister
Willis had pursued the same course since
the departure of the Australia that he pur-
sued up to that time, so that the people OF
Hawaii, outside of very few, would be
unaware of his intention, and he would be
allowed to pursue his plans without much
interruption.
ThurstOn Is Ignored.
At the White House it was stated that
