WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Although the
Btate Department expects to hear nothing
from Hawaii until Saturday, it generally
anticipates that everything is settled in
the islands, and that the restoration of the
Queen has been accomplished without
bloodshed.
1t is understood that Minister Willis
instructions provide for the protection of
the people instrumental in forming the
Provisional Government, and that the
Queen shall grant amnesty to all engaged
in her overthrow. The ground on which
this position is taken is that Minister
Stevens led them into revolt and that this
Government, therefore, is bound to pro-
tect them to the extent of assuring am
nesty.
Minister Willis, it is believed, was told
to say to the members Of the Provisional
Government that the President felt that
he ought to protect them to this extent,
as he believed the authority OF the nlted
States and Minister Stevens had led them
into the revolution. 1t is thought that
the Minister was instructed first TO call
upon the Queen and tell her that the
President desired that she should pIacate
those who had been instrumental in her
overthrow, and sustain herself in author
ity without the assistance of the y Unlted
States.
1t is believed that the State Department
has been informed that these conditions
are satisfactory TO the Queen, aud had
been accepted by her at the time the China
sailed. To President Dole it is under
stood that Minister Willis was instructed
to say that the President felt it necessary
10 decide the matter as if the dispute had
L. afrNRsI
the Queen the President hoped to have
the hearty cooperation OF the Dole adj
ministration. After having righted the
wrong done by this Government, the
United States would assume its policy of
non-interference.
The belief is growing that Minister
Willis instructions did not include the
employment Of force. The rather cordial
reception accorded yesterday by Secre-
tary Gresham to Minister Thurston's offi-
cial call, and the formal acknowledgment
of unsevered relations between the lega-
ton and the Government, makes 1t in
credible that instructions have been given
10 land marines in Honolulu for the pur-
pose OF aggression upon the Government
which Mr.. Thurston represents.
The original right of Queen Liliuoka-
lani to the throne of Hawaii was by the
nomination of her brother Kalakaua.
The Hawaiian Constitution provided for
this mode of succession. When mon
arch fails to provide a successor the
choice reyerts to the upper house OF the
Legislature. When Lunalilo died in
1873, after brief reign, he named no
successor. The House of Mobiles chose
David kalakaua. He had been police
court lawyer in Honolulu, and played
the banjo at dances TOR a consideration.
His wife, kapiolani, had been the widow
of a South Sea island missionary. AT

band by washing clothes. Kalakaua's
mother was of the blood Of low chiefs, as
was his reputed father. 1t is notorious,
however, that Kalakaua's real father was
negro barber Kalakaua and his full
sister, Liliuokalani, show wide diverg-
ence from the Hawaiian racial type.
Their noses are flatter, their hair lzinky
and their lips much thicker than the pure
native type. The late Princess, like her
mother, the Princess KaiGlani, half sis
ter to Liliuokalani, was of pure native
blood, and her appearance is in marked
contrast to that of her brother and sister.
AN ALLEGED CIPHER DISPATCH.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The goss1ps
around the State, Navy and War build
ing to-day are saying that the Admins
tratiOn has received information from
Hawaii in the form of cipher telegram.
It is said it was received by Secretary
Gresham on Monday, the day that the
steamer China arrived at San Francisco.
II is generally believed that from Minis
ter Willis reports it will not be an easy
matter to restore Liliuokalani to her
throne. There may possibly be some
hitch in the Administration plan.
Gresham will send dispatches to Homo
lulu by the steamer leaving San Fran
cisco tomorrow. He refuses to talk, and
enjoins all the department officials to
strict secrecy.
