ARRIVAL OF THE ALAMEDA.


The Last Steamer from Honolulu Brings
But Little News OF Importance-The
Situation Practically Uechanged-Nin-
lister Willis Holding AlOof from the Fro
visiOnal Governmental Call from the
Ex-Queen and q Deprivation OF the
American League.
WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. So far as any
information which has reached the
public is concerned, there is not yet
any change in the situation in the
islands of Hawaii.
The steamship Alameda, which was
expected to bring important news from
Honolulu. the Hawaiian capital, has
arrived at San Francisco.
She steamed into port at o'clock
yesterday morning, and there was an
eager rush of people who have friends
and relatives and business interests in
the island to learn what had happened,
what was happening and what was ex-
pected to happen.
They were disappointed. The ship
brought no information of any change
except general depression in bust
ness.
There were only ten passengers on the
steamer from Honolulu, and they were
not posted on transpiring events, and
took no interest in the eagerness of
the crowd to learn what was going on
in the island.
Several letters came containing de-
scriptions of the state of affairs at the
time the Alameda left, stating that
there is general expectancy that the
United States favors the restoration OF
the queen, but that this is as yet only
surmise. It is stated that Minis
ter Willis has held no official
communication with the provi-
sional government since present.
ing his credentials. They also con-
lister by the ex-queen; also of call by
a deputation of the American league on
the United States minister is given
and his reply to their appeal to aid the
cause of annexation and proffer of as
sistance to him in carrying out such a
policy.
Copies of the Hawaiian newspapers
brought by the steamer show that the
provisional government has not yet
been apprised of the full policy of the
United States. They contain pur-
ported dispatch from Washington that
Cleveland's administration proposes to
restore the monarchy, but give no au-
thority for the statement at Washing
ton.
The Alameda's Passengers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-Only two
passengers from Honolulu arrived on
the Alameda. They were the Longee
brothers, divers, who left this port for
the purpose of assisting in raising the
wrecked steamer Miowera. They re-
port everything quiet on the islands,
without any signs of impending trou-
BILE.
Owing to a case of measles on board
the Alameda the passengers were not
allowed to go ashore. Some of the Of
fcers of the steamship state, however,
that trouble is expected and that it
may appear at any moment.
THREATS AGAINST THE Ex-QUEEN.
A threat. made some time ago, that
in the event of the deposed queen in
sisting upon her restoration she would
be assassinated, is again freely made.
NJ. Bornett, a passenger from Auck-
land, told the United Press representa-
tive that he learned from his CORE
spondents in Honolulu that the feel
ing in favor of annexation is positive
and widespread. It is also stated that
THE MARRIAGE OF PRINCESS KAIULANI
and young Mr.. Davis, son of the
princess guardian, is among the
proba bilities. Another officer of the
ship, whose name, for obvious reasons,
is not given, says the annexationists
are considerably irritated at the failure
of their efforts to secure recognition
from the United States. This feeling
is intensified by the queens persistent
statements that the day of her restora-
ton is at hand. In fact, the discomfort
on the part of the annexationists is so
pronounced that it is believed it will
eliminate shortly in some overt act.
The Mowers Released-But Slightly
Damaged.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-With the
adian-Australian steamship "Miowera"
was pulled off the reef into deep water.
She was towed inside the harbor in the
afternoon and moored west of
the Philadelphia. The divers re-
port no fractures of the plates or
opening of seams on her bottom or
indentations. Her rudder post and
rudder will be replaced bv local iron
works company. It was feared that
her engines might have been injured
by her six weeks pounding on the reef.
On turning them by hand on the 14th
they were found to be apparently in
sound condition. AS soon as all the
necessary repairs are made the
Miowera will proceed under her own
steam To San Fra nciScO
