SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 23.-The steamer
Alameda, from Honolulu. was sighted at
$50 o'clock this morning. Upon her ar
rival here it was learned that up to the
time the Alameda sailed Minister Willis
had made no intimation to the government
as to his instructions

stant says:

timation to this government Of any special
communication with which he may be
charged. Nor Is IT known that he has
any.

rumors of the minister's intentions.
These are traced to royalist sources.

ly stated. Up to this time Mr.. Willis has
not returned her visit.
On the same day committee of the
American League rendered a reception to
Minister Willis. at which he delivered an
address. In diplomatic. but agreeable and
encouraging terms. A phrase implying that
his action was limited by specific instruc-

restore the queen and the royalists appear
ed on the streets in more boastful and ag-
gressive mood.
