LONDON, Dec. 9.-Neither the Foreign
Office nor the Hawaiian representative has
any advices concerning Hawaii from Auck-
land. An Associated Press agent showed
ambassador Bayard its advices from Auck-
land, and. after reading them. he said ::
president Cleveland will deal with the
weak Hawaiians in a most magnanimous
manner. and will not force on them a Gov
eminent which they have not had a full
chance to discuss"
Regarding the dispatches published here
to-day indicating that Cleveland had sent
instrurtio rs to Hawaii reversing his policy
there Bayard said: There can be no
reversal of a policy based simply on
justice and magDanimity. Cleveland's
policy is one of nOn-interference. he had
no intention of entering the islands and
deposing the Government. The policy of
the United States toward Hawaii is not a
selfish one. On the contrary, Clevelard's
intention is that no advantage shall be
taken of TIE weakness of the Queens
party and that the Queen shall have a
full and fair chance to get on her feet if
possible. The Hawaiian native autonomy
has been so weakened By late events that
l hardly know whether the Hawaiians
can avail themselves of the offer of the
President TO restore the Queen to the
throne"
The Associated Press representative in
Liverpool learns that Davies. guardian of
Princess Kaiulan. is now in Hawaii snd
the Princess is ON the Continent. The
latest news from Davies confirms the As
sociated Press adyices from Auckland 10

there was no change in the situation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The feature of
the Hawaiian news to-day was the Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Auckland, n. T..
This was the first news frCm Honolulu
since the reOple there knew of Gresham S
letter TO the President announcing the
administration intention. Friends of the
Provisional Government in this country
have regarded as the crucial period for their
cause the interim before public sentiment
in this country on the administration S
policy should become known in Homo
lulu. They have looked anxiously for
news from Honolulu up to the termination
of this period. and feel and frankly express
their belief in having received comfort
from it. They have considered that the
Provisional Government would be much
more open to the moral suasion which
Minister Willis was to exercise upon them
before they knew they had sympathizers
among the American people.
The transmission of the Hawaiian In
struclioDs to Congress is probably sew
eral days away yet Cleveland has had
very few con fidanis as to what his message
on the subject will contain. There is
ground for the assertion, however, that
he will strongly urge upon Congress the
importance of continuing the policy he has
pursued in Hawaii of endeavoriIg to bring
about the restoration of the Queen by
moral suasion. 1t is not believed that he
intends to ask for authority to use armed
force or to make war. except SO far as the
policy toward friendly power can be in
terpreted as making war.
The cable from Auckland. showing that
10 attempt to restore the Queen had been
made up to November "a, was received
with much satisfaction in the Capiroi by
those opposed to the restoration. but even
greater interest was attached to the inter-
view with Bayard in London that Presi-
dent Cleveland had no intention that the
United States forces should 'epter the ISL
ands and depose the Government"
This statement. intimating that the
President had never contemplated force, is
so at variance with the position hitherto
understood to be occupied by the Presi-
dent that IL hastened 10 confirm the grow
ing impression among Congressmen that
armed force Is not to be resorted to.
