Hawaii Fated to MonarchiaI Rule
Despite the Wishes of Her

WASHINGTON, Dec.5.-The State Depart
ment has received no advIces from Hawaii
by the barkentine Klikiiat. which arrived
at Port Townsend yesterday. Officers
there are inclined to question the accuracy
of the purported interview with Willis in
the Honolulu Evening Star. They say it
would have been improper for Willis to
thus express himself. and they do not be-
lievs he has,
Gresham was engaged this morning with
Justice Harlan. presumably on the Bering
Sea negotiation. and would not be seen.
The State Department had evidently
already been informed of the news re-
ceived in the Associated Press dispatch
from Honolulu via Port Townsend, 80 far
as it conveyed the intention of Minister
Willis TO take no further steps toward car
ryiDg out his instructions until he should
hear further from the department, but so
far as it conveyed public uttersnce in
Honolulu by the Minister of his inten tions
il was news to the department, the Pres
ident and his Cabinet There were indica-
tions, too, TO show that it was not agreeable
news, and the impression was conveyed
that the administered ti0n was rather jisap-
pointed at the manner IN which Minister
Willis has thus far conducted his mission.
1t is evident that the department received
by the last steamer, the Alameda. the
news tha. Minister Willis had determined
TO defer carrying out his Instructions until
he heard further from his Government. 1t
is fair presumption that the Corwin car
ries to him the further instructions for
which he asks.
The paragraph in the Presidents mes
sage referring to Hawaii was written after
the additional instructions to Minister
Willis had been dispatched. and this para
graph may be taken to reflect the spirit of
the Instructions. Whatever doubts Minis
ter Willis may have expressed of the accu-
racy of Blount's report. the President has
not lost any of his absolute faith in the
accuracy of Blounts investigation and the
justice of his conclusions.
1t is highly probable, therefore, that the
new instructions are repetition of the old.
An Associated Press representative re-
ceived to-day from reliable source an
intimation of the policy which it Is in
tendrd to pursue in Hawaii. The extent
of the active influence intended to be en-
ployed in behalf of reseating Liliuokalani
ON the throne has probably been exagger-
ated, and the purpose of the administra-
tion is believed to be rather to act as an
arbitrator as between the parties in dispute
and endeavor 10 prevail on them to agree
between themselves. This was contin-
gent upon the confident belief based
on an explicit assertion contained in the
last letter of Bounlt that the Provisional
Government would fall TO pieces when no.
titled that annexation was impraciicable.
In that letter. which has not yet been pub-
lished. BlouDt, under date of Honolulu,
July q, said: "The action of the United
States is awaited by all as a matter of ne
cessity. This condition. it can be assumed,
will rem ain until the proposition TO annex
be accepted or rejected. In the latter con-
tingency no sudden movement Is likely to
occur. The present Government can only
rest on the use Of military force. being pos
sessed Of most of the arms on the islands
and with the small white population to
draw from to strengthen it. Ultimately it
will fall without fail. 1t may preserve its
existence for a year or two. but not longer"
Enough is known of Minister Willis

Honolulu, to make 1t certain that he does
not agree with Blount in this

late news from Hawaii was read at the
Cabinet meeting to-day from the Office
copy in advance of publication. It was
the subject OF consultation In the Cabinet,
but probably caused no change in the
plan decided on after hearing from Minis
ter Willis by the Alameda.
Hawaiian Minister Thurston was not at
home this morning. but little group OF
Hawaiians at the same hotel were glad to
hear the news by way of Port Townsend
and expressed the opinion that 1t gave
cause for encouragement to the friends of
the Provisional Government.
Chairman McCreary of the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. speaking on the
Willis interview, said: 81 have known
this all the time. Or course. could no,

was pursuing the course herein Indicated"
This statement indicates that the admins.
