WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The chief in.
terest III the Hawaiian situation now
surrounds the Instructions given Nina
ter Willis and the contents OF tha ciphsr
message which was received after :he
arrival of the China. A number OF ont
side people are now quito familiar with
some important ieatures OF the instruc-
TORS. No doubt Minister Willis was
instructed to make the restoration of
Llliuokalani conditional upon full am
nesty being granted the men who an
| gagged in the revolution and oyerthrew
the queen. Minister Willis was told to
say to the members OF the provisional
government that the president felt he
ought to protect them to tnis ex-
tent, as he believed the authority
OF the United Stateea and Minister
stevens led them into the revolution.
IL ls thought the minister was instruced
to hrst call upon the queen and tell her
the president deaired that she should
plecate those who had been instru-
mental III her overthrow, and sustain
herself in authority without the assist
ance Of the United States. It is believed
the state department has been informed
that these condition are satisfactory
to the queen and had been accepted by
her at the time the China called,
70 President Dole, it is understood.
Minister Willis was instructed to saw
the PRECEDENT felt it necessary to decide
the matter as il the dispute had been
referred to him, and in restoring the
queen the president hopes to have the
hearty co operation of the Dole admin.
iatration. After having righted the
wrong done by this government, the
United States would assume its policy
Of non-interierence.
FoRcE NOT TO BE USED.
Ehe belief is growing that Minister
Wi4s' instruction did not include the
employment Of iorce. The rather cor
dial deception accorded Yesterday nv

ten'H'RhiCial call and tie formal ac-
unemployment of unsevered relations
between the legation and government,
makes it incredible that instructions
heye been given 20 land marines in
Hcnoluiu for the purpose of aggression
gtpon the government which Mr.. Thurs
ton represents.
Although the state department ex-
pecta to hear nothing from Hawaii until
Saturday, it generally anticipates that
everything is settled en- the islands and
that the restoration of the queen has
been accomplished without bloodshed.
The ADMINISTRATORS THEORY.
An official OF the administration &C.
49, !,
about Hawaii, and who speeks by the
card as to the sentiments and opinions
OF those who have brought about the
changes, said to an Associated Press re-
porter today: The action of the ad-
ministration will go down in history as
one OF the glorious acts OF the United
States, the righting OF wrong"
But ii this restoration of the queen
has to be maintained by force of arms,
would it not subject the administration
to severe criticism, even ii the justice OF
the restoration we're to be acknowl-
edged ?" he was asked.
THAT feature OF the affair | do not
feel at liberty to discuss" he replied,
and then went on to say that the theory
OF the administration was this: The
provisional government was established
annexed to the United States. The
United States has refused to annex the
islands, and the provisional government
has ended.
This is explanatory Ct the under
standing that Minis er Willis has two
sets OF credentials, one to the provi-
slonal government, the other TO the
queen. The provisional government is
recognized until the treaty of annexa-
tion is elected, when it is assumed it
has ceased to exist, and the old status nat
uraliy resumed. Minister Willis will bring
to the provisional government the fret
official information rs the rejection of
annexation. Having made this known
to President Dole, 1t is assumed thetthe
provisional government Will have no
further standing or existence and Min
lister Willie will then recognize the gov
ernment OF the queen and that would
end the matter.
In other words the ADMINISTRATIONS
position is this. The government has
not thrown down any government but
merely upon one governments ceasing
to exist, it recognizes the old regime.
rIURsroN Still. MINISTER.
Minister Thurston OF Hawaii has not
demanded his passports. His relations
with this country are still. to all appear
ances at least. OF the most friendly ma
ture. The fact that this is 30
after the conference he had with
Gresham yesterday, is considered
significant. The relations between the
Hawaiian legation and the state depart
ment remain undisturbed. The Ha-
waiian government, however, will stand
on it's rights as an indepsndent eover-
eighty, and it's policy will be TO regard
as an act of war any movement looking
to the restoration of the queen. A
legation does not remain in a country
that has declared war against its governs
ment. Its natural course would be to
demand ita passports and get without
thu limits OF the hostile country.
Minister Thurston, indeed, has no
official information that this country
has declared war on his government.
