President Cleveland to Restore Her to
Her Throne.

Once There She VIII Have to Main
tain Her Position Without Backing
From this Government Blue Jaokets
and Marines to be Landed With
GatIing Guns, if Necessary, to
Carry Out the Administration De-
termination.
Washington, Nov. 11.-Inquiry at the
department of state warrants the state
ment that the President has given his
approval to the secretary's findings in the
Hawaiian matter, bassed, as they are,
upon searching inquiries conducted by his
special commissioner, Mr.. Blount. And
while it has not been regarded as ex-
pediont at this moment to make public
the instructions given to Mr.. Blount's
successor-AIinister Willis-Or the
orders issued to Admiral Irwin, who has
by this time assumed command Of the
United States naval forces at Hawaii, it
is iutimated that in each case the officers
have gone to Hawaii charge to do all
that is necessary to restore the status quo
ante bellum. There is still a question as
to what may be necessary to secure this
result. but it is generally believed that, if
the representations made by Minister
Willis upon the occasion of the preSenta-
tiOu of his credentials, to the effect that
the President desires that the queen be
re-enchroned. should not be sufficient to
induce the provisional government to give
effect to that desire, then Admiral Irwin
will be called upon to exercise his func-
tious. and once more the naval forces
now aboard the United States flagship
Philadelphia and the Adams will be
landed, and will be marched through
the streets Of Honolulu, dragging their
gatling guns to the government house.
1t is felt to be highly improbable, how
ever thai the provisional government
will by obstinate resistance to the ex-
pressed wish of the United States, neces-
state a resort to a military demonstra-
ton
WHERE OUR DUTY WILL END.
But, taking into consideration Secre-
tary Gresham's declaration that this
government should recognize the absolute
Independence of Hawaii, it is believed
that when Queen LIiuokalani is again
placed upon The throne from which, ac-
COrding to the findings of Commissioner
Blount, she was displaced by the action
of the United States minister and United
States naval forces, the &c Ternmeut of
the United States win regard
its duty as fully accomplished,
Ill OLLlcE WOEUS, Ltlc dSSlSU-
ance of this government win
extend to reparation, but not to
maintenance, and once installed, the
queen must defend her throne and gov
eTnment unaided by the United States.
This position is believed to be in accord
with the doctrine of neutrality and fair
dealing to which the government of the
United States is pledged, and also in con-
fOrmity with the republican principle of
of
people OF a nation to prescribe their own
form of government.
MAY COST Us A LOT OF MONEY.
One novel and totally unexpected result
or rather, possible result-Of the rein
stallatlon Of the queen, by the action of
the United States government was sug
gested to-day. 1t was, in substance, that
this action would be an absolute acknowl-
edgment that the queen was dispos-
sessed by the United States, and there
fore, that poteutate would have a sound
claim against the United States for COM
pensatiOn for the pecuniary loss she has
sustained through her temporary exclus-
ion from the exercise of her functions and
her emOluments.
STRENGTH OF OUR FORCE.
A statement Of the actual strength of
the United States forces at Hawaii's per-
turbad capital is interesting. All told,
the force of American blue Jackets and
marines, with cOmbatant and non-com-
batanJ officers, commissioners warrant,
numbers 56S men. The Philadelphia has
4S officers, 80 men and 40 marines, the
Adams l3 officers, 139 men and 48marines
OR active land operations it is understood
that more than 800 officers and men would
be available, but this number, with acces-
slonS from the ROyalist ranks, would
certainly be more than ample to cope with
the present small force of the provisional
government
ADMIRAL sKERRETT's RELIEF.
A mail steamer from Honolulu is due in
Nan Francisco tomorrow, and ey-Rear
Admiral Skerrett. who was recently re-
heyed from command of our naval force
at Honolulu, is believed to be on board
The reports that have circulated in Wash
mgtOn concerning the cause for Admiral
Skerrett's transfer to the Asiatic station
nave been numerous. The statement that
Admiral SkerretG and his family had
identified themselves prominently through
social Iunctions with the leaders of the
provisional government does not find sup
port n statements made in letters re-
GelEed from Admiral and Mrs. Sl1errett
oy relatives and friends in this city.
ON GOOD TERMS WITH ALL.
A recent letter from Mrs. Skerrett,
written before the admiral knew that he
vas to be transferred, speaks in
tae highest terms of the recep-
lon given him by the ex-queen,
and makes mention Of many kindnesses
rendered by persons partisan to the
monarchy or provisional government.
however, it is pretty generally accepted
aS true chat Admiral Skerrett's transfer
was based on a belief that he had ind en-
uHed himself too closely in q social way
"lJh the foreign or anti-royalist element,
ana also the additional reason that his
successor, Admiral Irwin, is very popular
