Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1893-11-24

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Secretary
Gresham is astonished at the turn af-
fairs have tiken in Hawaii and the
matter is the sensation Of the day i'll
offidLi sfrct4s. H'he administrator
people will not talk about it.
j IS the belief that Willis found he
could not restore the queen TO the
thone without force, and is waiting for
further instructions.
San Francisco, Nov. 1S.-Thc steam
ship Australia arrived today from
Honolulu bearing dispatches from
Minister Willis to tire state depart
nent ut \, ashington. Minister Willis
presented his credentials to the pro-
yiSioEal government without saying
any thing about his instructions to re
store the queen, and al that is known
in Honolulu Of the intention Of the adj
Iniuistration comes from reading
Secretary Grcslsam's report, which has
reached the islands through the news
paper mails. The passenger Were
dumbfounucd when asked if the queen
had been restored They declared
they had never even heard the probable
ity Of such Il move on the part Of this
government EX- Consul General Sever
tlIoc said:
There have been no sensational de
yel0pments OIL the islands. The pro
yibionll government is 50 firmly es-
t.sblishcd, finamiatly aald otherwise,
that it cannot be destroyed. The
question Of the queens restoration l
do not think has been dicussed'
Mr. Willis, in presenting his creden-
tails, said:
Mr.. IleSident-tMr. Blouut, the
late envoy extraordinary of the United
States to your government, having
rcsigNt.d his office while absent from
his post, | 1iavc the honor now to pres
ent his letter Of recall, and to express
fo7' him his sincere regrets that he is
unable in person TO make known his
continued good wishes on behalf OF
your people and his grateful apprecia
ton Of the many cOurtesieS. l desire,
1T the same time, to place In your
hands Il letter :ccrcditing nEe rs his
by the president to give renewed as
Surancr of the friendship, interest and
hearty good will which oar government
cntertainS for you and for the people
Of this Island realm. Invoking that
spirit Of peace, friendship and hospital
" which has cveT been the shield and
sword Of this country, | now, upon be-
half OF the United States of America,
tender to your people the right hand OF
good will, which | trust may be rs last
ing rs | know it to be sincere, express
ing the hope that every year will pro
mote ami perpetuate that good will
10 the honor, happiness and prosperity
Of both goy1rnmcnts."
Minister Wills made Il good impress
sion on the people of Hawaii The an
neNationiStS believed that while the
administration WAS L little slow, an
ueXaHon WAS assured. A significant
Indication that no restoration of the
monarchy WAS intended, ut least ut
present, was The following passage
IN the autograph letter of President
Cleveland ;lccrcditing Mr.. Willis to
d'rcs:dpnt Dole:
lie is we'll Informed of the relative
interests Of the two countries and of
every sincere ueSire to cultivate to the
fullest extent the friendship (which
has so long SubSistcd between us. My
knowledge rs high character and
ability gives me confidence that he will
constantly endeavor TO advance the
interests and prosperity Of both govern
ments and to renler himself accept
able 10 your eXcellency.
For Mr. Willis to render himself &c
,,aptable TO President Dale would seem
TO be incompatible with any PROPOSE
zion for the queens restoration. Up
TO the time of the departure OF the
Australia Minister Willis had given no
indication Of Il deSirs. on the part of
the United States government for the
restoring of Queen I4iliuokolani.
