WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Unless he
has met with some delay, United States
Minister Willis has now been in Homo
lulu week, and it is not Improbable
that he has carried into effect the in
structlons he took with him, which have
been so well kept secret on this side
of the Pacific. If he has done so, the
steamer which left Honolulu yesterday
Will bring the news of the consequent
events, and will reach an outlet to the
rest OF the world with it Oh next Satur-
day. Whatever recourse the admins
tration may have determined upon to
secure the restoration of Queen Liliuo-
kalani, it is very evident that Secretary
Gresham does not expect that extreme
measures will have to be resorted TO. The
course proposed to be pursued seems
to be to request the present government
in the name of the United States to give
way quietly to the restoration OF the
queen. The HaWaiians in this city are
very firm in their conviction that the
government will refuse TO yield TO any
such gentle persuasion as that. They
assert their earnest belief that it will
require at least show of force to induce
them to resign the reins of authority.
But this opinion is not unanimous
among those familiar with affairs in the
islands. 1t is pointed out now long and
severe strain there has been on the
members of the provisional government
IN the uncertainty that has beset their
position. The manner and
PURPOSE OF THEIR CREATION,
1t is pointed out. show how dependent
they feel upon the United States. The
absolute disapproval of them by this
government will be announced to them
by Minister Willis. Whatever outcry
OF public sentiment there is here in
sympathy with them and against their
deposition they will. be absolutely cut
off from. All they have is vitality de-
pendent upon good order and main
tenance of law in the country. ANY
sort of assurance from Minister Willis
that the moral influence of the United
States government would be exerted to
maintain stable government by the
queen. and to restrain it from such
Yagarles and eXcesses as that of the con-
stitution she sought to have adopted in
January last, might tempt the members
of the provisional government to step
aside and trust to the United States to
preserve their interests in its own
way. This is what President Cleve-
land and Secretary Gresham hope
for, though what assurances they
have authorized the minister
TO give as to future influence by this
government in the islands is not known.
CONGRESSMAN O'Neill, of Massachusetts,
has laid before Secretary Gresham an
appeal from a Boston house having
large interests in the islands, which
shows that all those acquainted with
the conditions nave not SO hopeful a
belief as to the outcome of the effort to
restore the queen. The dispatch reads
as follows:
Boston, Mass, Nov. Il.-Please call
on proper officials and request, on be-
half OF your constituents holding prop
erty IN Honolulu and throughout the
kingdom, that instructions be sent to
the United States minister there to pro-
tect the same. We believe there is great
danger OF blOodshed and destruction to
property. Have telegraphed Senator
HOar these facts.

now believed that he has been speeding
across the country TO take the next
steamer Tor Honolulu.
