WASHINGTON, Nov. 16-President Cleveland,
was again at his desk In the White House this
morning after his mysterious flying trip to
Now York. and was in frequent consultation
with Secretaries Gresham and Herbert with
regard to the Hawaiian situation. It 10 per-
fectly apparent that the Administration IL

the public 10. and must depend upon the same
sources OF Information. Two days ago Secrs-
tary Gresham was confident that Minister VIII
lis had faithfully carried out his Instructions
and restored Queen Liliuokalani to her throne
by peaceful means or otherwise. A cloud has
arisen since then, however. and. while Il 10
very little larger than mans hand. It 10 big
enough to dampen the confidence OF the Ad-
ministration In the success OF its Hawaiian pol-
10y. For the past few days. particularly since
the arrival OF Minister Willis's cipher telegram
on Monday evening. Secretary Gresham has
been In fretful mood and averse to giving
any information whatever to the public on the
Hawaiian question. and has complained that
the newspapers have treated him unfairly. 10
Is the i'm preston here that tho Secretary has
had an intimatiop OF the failure Of his pro-
gramme OF restoring tho Queen. and that his
disQuietude 10 added to by his chaRrin at be-
ing prevented from making public synopsis
OF Commissioner Dlounts report In the hope
OF stem ming the tide OF adverse criticism thas
continuesto arise day by day. ..
When Secretary Gresham started for Wood.
ley on Monday afternoon he had arranged TO
give out the Blount report for publication thaS
evening. When he returned to the department.
however. he locked the document In his desk,
whore IL has since remained To- day there was
revival Of the rumor that the report was to bo
made public at this time. The rumor probably
grew out OF the fact that at An
early hour this morning Private Secre-
tary Thurber was seen scurrying across tho
grounds Of the White House toward the State
Department with an official package under his
arm that looked very much like the typewrit-
ten copy of the Blount report. which Secretary
Gresham and Assistant Secretary Ades had
prepared for publication on Monday When
Mr.. Thurber was seen with the document tho
suggestion was also made that the President
had probably taken It to New York for the,
purpose OF consulting with some Of his legal
friends there as to the advisability Of
publishing It Later In the day the Presidents
and Secretary Gresham were in consultation -
to thu advisability Of giving out the reports
but the President again refused to listen to
the Secretarys appeals.
From o Trustworthy source THE Bun corrs.!
spondent learns to- night that the instructtonE
given to Minister Willis definitely required
him to accomplish the restoration Of Queen
Liliuokalani to the Hawaiian throne immediSa
atey after the steamer China sailed fronal
Honolulu on tho 7th inst. and that AdmiraG
Irwin was instructed. by official orders fromi
Herbert to cooperate with th0a
Minister II necessary It is learned also that
the cipher despatch received on Monday from
Mr.. Willis contained no information OF impor>I
from the time OF his arrival ON Saturday to the
sailing OF the steamer the following TuesdayX
This is In contradiction Of tho runor that
Willis reported that he found the Provisional
Government stronger and better armed thar
had beon anticipated. From ConRressmeu
with whom Secretary Gresham has talked
within the past few days II is learned also thaq
the Administration reies wholly upon the
Blount report as o justification for it's courseJ,
and that the President and the Secretary Of
State regard It as sufioi to secure reversal
port In Congress.
The blind faith which the President andi
Gresham have In Mr.. Blounts stated
ment OF the situation In Hawaii prior to the
revolution. and their great confidence In the
Justice OF their cause is we'll illustrated by the
fact that Mr. Gresham has been led to believe.
that the present policy OF tho Administration
Is similar to that pursued by the Harrison

To-day tho officials Of the Administrations

telegram to San Francisco to be taken thence
