WAsHIssros cETr. Nor. f6.-Iti is learned
that the forces Of the provisional govern
msnE. though small, are well organized
aud disciplined, and most Of them are
sharpshooters. It is said 1000 picked men
are provided with arms at Honolulu and
enrolled in drilled companies. They have
been trained for two months past as safe
guard against any royaiist uprising in the
islands. These companies are made up
of white men largely. Eighteen rapid
firing guns are included IN the militia,
the equipment OF aIms being Winchester
rifles. This force would be superior 70
what the men-of-war at Honolulu could
put on shore. but no one seems 10 believe
that any resistance will be made should
the marines actually be landed.
The possibility of Minister Willis not
being able to carry out the programme
peaceably Of the restoration OF the queen
and amalgation of the provisional govern
ment with her administration makes all
interested in the movement Ill at ease.
Consequently news from Hawaii is swaited
with more earnestness by the administra-
ton than the general pubIie.

Since the present Democratic adrninis-

Change after change has been made, all of

last move is most particularly unwise, as
IL holds out the possibility Of false hope.
No change could be made in the appraise-

WASHINGTON CRY. Nov. I6-Upon be.
ing asked oy an Associated Press reporter
Tor his opinion upon the attitude of the
present administration toward Hawaii,
Senator Dolph said that he did not wish
to be quoted as critieising the administra-
ton because of his membership of the
COMMITTEES on foreign relations. He called
attention 10 the fact that be fully out
lined his position upon the subject in q
speech in the senate toward the close of
the Fiiiy-sscond congress, soon after re-
ceipt OF news of the revolution in Hawaii,
IN which he advocated annexation, and
said he would again take occasion 70 ex-
press his views upon the question. THE
present government of Hawaii," !" he con-
tinued, us an existing government recog-
nized by foreign powers, and il would ap-
pear as though an attempt to overthrow il
would be an act of hostility on the part of
the administration toward friendly gov
ernment unexampied in our history and
nnwarranted by our constitution. If the
policy of the administration should give
control of these islands TO a European
power It would be scarcely less injurious
to our commercial interests than the ac-
ton of President Cleveland eight years
ago in Withdrawing from the senate the
Nicaragua canal treaty" Dolph is of the
opinion that the Hawaiian question will
demand considerable attention from con-
gress at the approaching session. aud
thinks IL will come up in the shape of
resolution of inquiry. Congress would
then pass an act directing the president to
open negotiations for anne xation.

that be would be impeached by public
sentiment in the United States, ii not by
congress. Should the queen be restored
by force she certainly would be deposed

maintained. Naturally my sentiments as
ans American incline me to favor annexa-

nexation 1t will be q good ihiIg for all
