WILLIS DUMB REGARDING HIS INSTRUCTIONS
Admiral Irwin was to be presented to the
existing Government the day following the
sailing Of the Australia Minister Willis made
q good impression on the leading citizens.
He was very oourteously but quietly received.
The presentation Of his credentials was his
only public appearance. Tho people did not
rush to him as they did to Commissioner
Blount He has been reticent since his ar
rival. In regard to his instructions he said:
There is absolutely no foundation for ru-
mors since my arrival as to what am en-
powered to do or not to do. There are buttwo
or three men. even in Washington. who know
what my Instructions are. 1 must positively
decline at present to state whether carry an
ultimatum or new treaty or what"
Hawaiian advices OF the date on which the
Australia sailed say:
! "Thsre are rumors which cannot be corrob-
GRATED. that new treaty will be negotiated
with the Provisional Government and will be
sent to the United States Senate at the OPEN
ing OF the next session, but no one can be found
to confirm the report Two nights ago there
was some alarm on the water front as the |
boats Of the Philadelphia were ordered out |
with Calling guns and small arms. but moth |
ing occurred. The marines were kept in the
boats till nearly daylight It is thought that
the Admiral had received tip that the royal
lists would attack the Government"
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SEVERANCE ON THE s1TuA-
TON.
Ex-Consul- General Severance. who served
four years at Honolulu arrived to-day with
his family on the steamer Australia. Mr.. Sew
eranceqs we'll informed. but II he has any in
side Inform alton he did not give 1t up. He
seems to regard the position OF the Provt-
sional Government as very strong: In fact. he
declared that In his opinion there was no
chance o. carrying out Mr.. Cleveland's policy
Of restoring the Queen. He said:
II was present at the meeting between
President Dole and Minister Willis. OF
course. not much can be said about the
0poecnees as tney are always StuHeQ Win
diplomatic platitudes. but the Minister was
we'll received. After this reception Admiral
Irwin and Willis held several long CONFER
enoes. but II they reached any decision 1t
wasn't given out / say that tho Pro-
visional Government has given tho islands
the best Government they have enjoyed for
twenty years. 1t is 80 firmly established
financially and otherwise that 1t cannot
be destroyed. 1t is supported by the very
best element-the orderly. law abiding citi-
Eens-who have large interests at stake.
The islands, like other places, have sore
heads and boodlers who espouse any particu-
lar cause because OF what there is In it Then
there are English influences which. from mo-
lives OF self-interest. are apt to stir UP strife
In order to meet their sinister ends. don't
think the question Of the Queens restoration
has been discussed Such possibility Is not
sven entertained. The general impression is
that under the Democratic Administration
matters have bsen o little slow. but there is
no conception that things will be radically
changed. Generally speaking. the country 10
prosperous under the rule Of the Provisional
Lately business has been
,tagnant but think 1t will soon improve.
Whom We left 1t was rumored that an attempt
Would be made to restore the Queen on the I
18th. but this doesn't seem possible to me-"
The Government party hold that for Minister I
Willis to render himself acceptable to Presi-
lent Dole is incompatible with any PROPOSE
ion on his part looking toward the restoration '
Il the monarchy. The royalisls continue to '
INSIST that they are well assured that such is t
he intention OF President Cleveland. Theo- q
lore H. Davies. Kaiulanis guardian. is dill

advisory Council to persuade them to support
