They VIII Yield to Nothing Less Than
United States Troops-News Brought
by the Latest Steamer from
Honolulu.
WILLIS IS WAITING.

Honolulu. Nov. 10 via schooner
Transit to San Francisco, Dec. o.
During the afternoon the Alameda
sailed Minister Willis made a state
ment that nothing definite would be
done here until he had received a re-
ply to dispatches sent to Washington
by the Alameda This statement was
published in the Star. Thursday the
Bulletin published letter from
Minister Willis in which he said
he wished his remarks in the
Star to apply to the entire
press of Honolulu. The stand taken by
Minister Willis in his interview with
the Star, which was revised in proof by
him before publication, caused consid-
cradle anxiety in government circles,
owing to the intimation that any
breach of the peace would be punished
by the American minister. To a re-
porter his words were that any trouble
precipated on the other side would be
stopped at once by United States forces.
President Dole Satisfied.
On the morning of November II, the
day after the Alameda left, President
Dole called upon Minister Willis to
learn how far the authority of the
United States was expected to be car
ried in case of emergency. Upon his
return it was learned that the pro-
visional government was fully salts
fed with the explanations and hmita-
tions made by Minister Willis
1t is the general opinion that the
original language used by the United
States minister conveyed more than he
intended it should. 1t is understood
that President Dole very clearly in
formed Minister Willis that the
provisional government command
ed the situation and would re-
quire no aid from the United States un-
less it was called for President
Dole assured Minister Willis that any
breach of peace which might occur
would be speedily dealt with by the Ha-
waiian government. The provisional
government received assurances on
the other points mentioned which
were perfectly satisfactory. It's under
stood that Minister Willis said he
would stand back of the present gov
eminent until the present difficulty
was settled
Protection for the Queen.
Since advices by the schooner Tran
sit, which sailed three DAYS ago, the ex-
queen has applied to the provisional
government for protection, claiming
that she fears violence from foreign
residents. The government at once
granted her request and a detail of six
policemen was ordered by the marshal.
The government has informally init
mated to the American minister that it
is amply able to repress any disorder
and wishes no troops TO be landed.
PROFESSIONALS Resolute.
YOKOHAMA, Dec 12-The steamer
China. which left San Francisco No
vember 81 and Honolulu probably
about November %, has just arrived
here. Correspondents went aboard and
had interviews with the officers and pas
sengers regarding the situation of af-
fairs in Hawaii They stated that when
the steamer left the islands the pro-
visional government was still in power
and was maintaining a very deter
mined attitude Much excitement pre-
vailed among business men and
the people generally, and the ac-
ton of the United States govern
ment was awaited with the great
est anxiety. The members of the pro-
visional government were resolute in
their declarations against the restora-
ton of the monarchy and openly ex-
pressed their intention of resisting to
the utmost any attempt that President
Cleveland might make to reinstate the
