Honolulu. II. l., Nov. %, 1898.
Since advices by the schooner Tran
cit, which called three days ago, the
exqueen has applied to the provi-
sional government for protection, claim
ing that she fears violence from foreign
residents. The government at once
granted her request, and detail of elk
police was ordered by the marshal.
They are now guarding Washington
place in three watches OF two men
each.
NO TROUBLE WHATEVER.
In an interview with Attorney Gen
eral Smith. it is learned the government
does not anticipate any present politi-
cal disturbance, nor any trouble OF any
kind, until the United States is heard
from on the Contingency" mentioned
by Senator Willis, Even then the
attorney general said trouble was not
anticipated, unless the determination
had been reached to restore the ex-
queen. which could not be believed.
AS to the course thus far pursued by
Minister Willis, the attorney-general
declined to express an opinion, beyond
saving he thought perhaps the Ameri-
can minister had been rather ungusrded
in some Of his remarks concerning dip
lomatic affairs.
THE EX QUEENS NERVOUSNESS.
The Associated Press learned yester-
day directly from Washington place that
the ex-queen fully understands her
danger in case the United States should
restore her to power, and that she de-
clsred to Minister Willis during her visit
to Snow cottage. that che would have to
decline restoration unless it was granted
under the armed protection of the
United States. This statement isAwrit-
boat elait hnrity and IA az
4 been made upon morethan one occasion
to others than the United States min
ister.
THE POLITICAL TENSION.
The political strain continues to be
very great. The provisional government
and the marshal has matters go arranged
that it would be impossible for an at
tack to be made upon the executive
building with half an hours notice to the
governments forces.
MINISTER WILLIS POSITION.
The position OF Minister Willis still
calls forth criticism. One prominent
gentleman reports him as saying that
when he got ready to act as an execu-
tive officer of the United States there
would be but two persons in Hawaii
notified, viz, the head of the pro-
visional government and the head of the
former government. The state of vacil-
lation he has shown regarding his vari.
GUS utterances to local newspaper men
has aso caused comment. prominent
newspaper editor of Honolulu is author
ity for the statement that Minister Will
lie lately declared he did not in tend to
have anything more TO do with newepa-
pers and reporters because they could
not tell the truth. These charges do not
refer in any way to the Associated
Press, to whom the American minister
has on every occasion been courteous
and afable.
| PRINCESS KAIULANI'S CHANCES.
The theory of restoration has caused
considerable anxiety and investigation
in government circles, as such & denoue-
ment would cause immediate trouble. 1t
is learned, after careful inquiry. that one
line of official investigation has devel-
oped the fact that the ex-queen shortly
expects the return of ex-Princess Kaiu-
lani to Honolulu from England. II is
also thought Theodore III. Davies comes
as her political agent to effect compro.
mise in case the United States finds it
| impracticable or impossible to restore
the ex-oueen, should such be the intent.
The theory is advanced that should
Cleveland be determined upon the res
toration of the monarchy, that the ex-
princess will be present to represent the
former government In case the ex queen
is unavailable. 1t is also said that in
such an event application will be made
by the ex-queen for life pension from
the United States. 1t is said Kaulani
would appeal to Great Britain in case OF
trouble il she secures the throne.
RELIEF FOR PRESIDENT DOLE.
The Associated Press is able to state
that bill separating the Offices of pres
ident of the provisional government and
minister of foreign affairs will be pas ed
within week. and that Hon. F. M.
Hatch, a prominent American lawyer
and member of the advisory council,
will be appoin ed as minister OF foreign
affairs. The appointment will popular
one and will relieve President Dole Of
an amount of work which his health
will not permit him continuing.
