San Francisco, Dec. s-The follow
ing is the latest news from the islands
brought by vessel today:
| Honolulu, Nov 22.-Since advices by
the schooner Transit, which sailed
three days ago, the ex-queen has ap-
piled to the provisional government
for protection, claiming that she fears
violence from the foreign residents
The government at once granted her
request and a detail of six police was
at once ordered by the marshal They
are now guarding Washington Place in
three watches of two men each.
! In an interview with Attorney-Gen
eral Smith, it is learned the govern
ment does not anticipate any present
political disturbance or any trouble
| of any kind until the United States is
heard from. On the contingency men
toned by Minister Willis, even the
encouragement said trouble was not
anticipated unless determination was
reached to restore the ex-queen, which
could not at present be believed. AS
to the course thus far pursued by Min
lister Willis, the attorney general de-
clined to express any opinion, beyond
saying he thought, perhaps, the Amer
lean minister had been rather I'M
guarded in some of his remarks con-
corning Aplomatic matters
| The Associated Press learned yes
terday, directly from Washington
place, that the ex-queen fully under
stands her danger in case the United
States would restore her to power,
and that she had declared to Minister
Willis during a late visit to Snow
Cottage that she would have to decline
the restoration, unless it was granted
/ her under the armed protection of the
| United States. This statement is writ
Item upon the very best of authority
and has been made by the ex-queen
upon more than one occasion to others
than the United States minister.
| The political strain continues very
great. The provisional government un-
ldoubtedly commands the situation and
the marshal has matters so arranged
| that it would be impossible for an
attack to be made upon the executive
building without one half hours notice
| to the governments forces. One
prominent gentleman reports Minister
Willis as saying that when he got
ready to act as an executive officer
/ of the United States, there would be
but two persons in Hawaii notified,
viz: the head of the provisional gov
I
government.
The theory of restoration has caused
considerable anxiety and investigation
lin government circles, as such de-
movement would cause immediate
trouble.
| 1t is learned, after careful inquiry,
that one line of the official investigation
has developed the fact that the eX-
queen shortly expects the return of
the ex-Princess Kaiulani to Honolulu
from England. 1t is also thought Mr..
Theo H. Davis comes, as her political
agent, to effect a compromise in case
the United States finds it impractic-
able or impossible to restore the ex-
queen should such be the intent.
The theory is advanced that should
President Cleveland be determined
upon the restoration of monarchy, the
princess will be present to repre-
sent the former government in case the
Iex-queen is unavailable. 1t is also said
that in such an event application would
be made by the ex-queen for a life
pension from the United States. It is
said KaiuIani would appeal to Great
Britain in case of trouble, if she Sc
lcured the throne.
The Associated Press is able to state
that a bill separating the offices of the
lpresident of the provisional government
and the minister of foreign affairs will
DdSSGQ d
T. NJ. Hatch, a prominent American
lawyer and member of the advisory
council, will be appointed minister OF
foreign affairs. The appointment will
relieve President Dole of an amount
of work which his health will not per-
nit his continuing.
The Hawaiian Star recently reprint
ed from San Francisco paper an ar
ticle charging ex-Marshal Wilson with
embezzlement and with having i'm
proper relations with the queen.
Thereupon Wilson caused the arrest OF
Walter G. Smith, an American, and ed
Iitor of the Star for libel. That day in
reporting the arrest, Smith reaffirmed
the charges and announced that when
the case came to trial, he would put
the ex-queen on the witness stand. The
statement caused great excitement, the
RoyalistS saying that they would re-
volt before they would allow Liliuoka-
ilani to be brought into court. Smith
was arrested the second time, but in
the next issue renewed the charge
Wilson then threatened in the presence
lof the marshal, to aSsaSsinate the edi-
tor. In the meantime the annexation
lparty raised large sum for the edi-
tors defense. Smith has been arrest
led and released three times more but
lis still publishing charges against Will
ison.
Natives have discovered the police
stationed around Washington Place anc
considerable excitement prevails
among them, as the fact that the ex
lquen has applied to the provisional gov.
eminent for protection has not YET
leaked out and the natives surmist
the government has the ex-queen under
surveillance.
Since the arrival of the British cruiser
champion, rumor has been set af1oai
from native sources that in case of the
restoration OF the ex-queen or the ex
Eprincess, which ever it may be, they
will apply to Great Britain for the
future protection Of monarchy Al
first the report was treated as unim
portant, but inquiry shows that prom
inent Royalist. politicians and leader:
claim to be directly informed that such
will be the future policy of monarchy
if the United States can be prevailed
upon to adopt policy of restoration
1T IS NOT A SELFISH ONE.
