enco OF the decision roAchoo oy tue pSesi'
dent and bis secretary Of state that Lii.
oukalani should be restored 70 the throne.
Instead Of receiving such an intimation
from Willis, the provisional government
appears to have been led to believe that
the relations were to be In no way dis.
turbsd. Instead OF interpreting the dem.
onstrations Of the wArship Philadelphia
as hostile, as might have been the case IL
the Hawaiians had been In possession OF
the facts given out at Washington, they
seem to have adopted the conclusion that
the move was intended as an assurance of
tho determination of the United States TO
prevent internal disturbances. AL this
covered state of affairs In Hawaii which
his instructions did not anticipate.
Those who entertain this opinion dwell
upon the incidents of marshaling tho Ha.
waiian forces and the landing of the Phil
q delphia's boats. Were those boats low
cred and manned with tho intention of
landing IN the interest of tho queen, and
was the understanding given up whom it
was found that the Hawaiian government
had 400 men armed and prepared to take
any steps necessary to protect the gov
ernment OF President Dole. they say Mr..
Willis concluded that the time was not
opportune for the coup d'etat and ho de-
cided to take no decisive steps until he
could communicate with his home gov
ernment again and receive further in
structions.
NO MORE NEWS TILL THURSDAY.
Surprise is manifested on all sides in
government circles at the intelligence
that affairs remain unchanged in Homo
lulu. 1t is evident that different news was
expected. This chains interest and sus-
pense until the arrival OF tho next
steamer from Honolulu. which was advcr-
tised to sail from Honolulu on Thursday,
Nov. l6. She is due at San Francisco next
Thursday. No whisper of all tho talk in
this country and no line of all the writing
for the past Il days has yet reached the
islands. The first steamer to leave after
Secretary Gresham's letter was published
left Vancouver on Thursday. She cannot
arrive until next Thursday. The Mono
wal left San Francisco yesterday. She is
due in Honolulu next Friday. Unless
Minister Willis tells them, tho Hawaiians
will know nothing Of the plan to restore
tho queen before that time.
GRESHAM COULDN'T BELIEVE 1T.
After the FIRST bulletin that tho proy-
sional government was still i'm power was
shown to Secretary Gresham, he hastened
over to the white house and did not return
until after 3 o'clock. Meantime the copy
riRhted letter OF the associated press from
Honolulu was sent up. A copy was also
taken to Secretary Herbert of the navy de-
partment. Saturday is always the secre-
tary's busy day, but he laid aside the i'm
portant business on hand and had his Sec
retary read him the whole dispatch. When
Secretary Gresham returned from the
white house he was offered copy Of the
letter. but he had already read with tho
president the special copy sent 10 tho
white house.
When the associated press bulletin an
nouncing that the provisional government
WAS still in power was first shown tn Sec
retary Gresham, he declined emphatically
to believe il. DISAPPOINTMENT and excite.
ment were evident throughout the state
department. The state depar, ment has a
| dispatch from Honolulu that arrived by
the Australian to-day. No conjecture can
be formed Of what is in il. Secretary
Gresham said pleasantly at $50 O'Clock !:
lyon have all the news to-day and have
nothing to give you."
WAS THE QUEEN AFRAID?
William Armstrong, formerly attorney
general of the Hawai- islands. thinks
Paul Neuman, who was the queens coun-
sci and is still her right hand adviser.
would convince her that sho ran great
risk by accepting the throne without
guaranteed protection. 1t is not presum-
able that Minister Willis was equipped
with authority to give such a guarantee,
and it is doubtful whether President
Cleveland has in mind to continue United
States protection to the queen after shc
| was restored. The admins tration ev-
IDENTITY has not taken into consideration
the serious opposition to the restoration Of
the queen or any hesitancy on her part TO
resume tho throne. The Hawaiian lcga-
tion's private advices was the following
dispatch from the Hawaiian consul at
Honolulu, sent after he had talked with
persons on the Australia:
