THE QUEEN CALLS ON WILLIS.
Last Monday morning the ex-queen,
somewhat Unexpectedly, called upon Min
lister Willis, at the United States legation
She was accompanied by her former
chamberlain. She remained at the lega-
tion about twenty minutes" Minister
Willis has not yet returned the call. The
eX-queen's action created much unfavora-
BILE comment. 1t surprised the royalists,
as well as the annexationists.
This afternoon the minister of finance
will submit statement at the regular
session of the council, which will show
that the favorable condition of the
finances of the government continues. The
statement will show that the cash sur
plus in the treasury stands at S136S50,
and that the total amount of bonds sold
to date under the loan account is S167 600.
This will allow the government to carry
out all the appropriations authorized
under section 2, of the appropriation
bill, for which no provision had been
made, and will leave balance of 1868 on
hand, besides the cash surplus. The
minister of finance states that all the
current expenses of the government to
Nov. l have been ordered paid, and that
under the present favorable conditions he
expects to largely increase the surplus
cash'i in the treasury soon.
sKERRETT's RECALL,
1t has been learned from official sources
that the reason of Admiral Skerrett's re-
call from this station was because he per-
sonallyuattended a ball given by the An
nexation club to the officers of the United
States steamship Boston as farewell
and to the officers of the United States
steamship Philadelphia as a welcome
f11lf IreFrr rod af
the executive building on Saturday, Nov
IL, at l: 80 o'clock, with military honors.
Upon the arrival and departure of the
party the government band played the
American national air.
The agitation for the removal of the
royalists from office will probably rest in
abeyance until something definite is heard
from Minister Willis"
WILLIS ON HIS INTERVIEW.
The Associated Press correspondent
has Just had an interview with Minister
Willis. He declares that the first part of
the reply he made to the American league
should be modified to read: He would
like to see the stars and stripes
waving over etc, under ''proper
conditions" He declares he new
er said the result would be
such that Americans would not regret it,
and added that nothing would be done,
nor would any action be taken until he
again heard from Washington after the
Alameda left. He said this at 2:30 p. m.
The steamship sailed at p. m. His
words to the Associated Press reporter
were that any trouble precipitated on
either side would be stopped at once by
the United States forces.

GRESHAM COMMENTS ON THE DISPATCH.
Washington, Nov. %, II 80 p. ma re-
porter read the dispatch from Honolulu
to Secretary Gresham this afternoon
The secretary was very much interested,
though apparently not altogether pleased
Commenting upon the dispatch, he said
that there must be very much that
was contained in it that was
not true He had especial refer
ence to that portion which quoted
Minister Willis. He did not think that
Minister wins made even Jne remarks
which were given as corrected. The
secretary said that Minister Willis ought
not to talk as stated, and he did not be-
lieve that Minister Willis would talk to
anybody as he was quoted in the dis
patch, as he was careful, conservative
man. Upon the point as to whether
Minister Willis would wait until further
instructions was received before
he acted, the secretary would say
nothing Neither would he make any
comment upon the report that the provis-
ional government was making prepara-
tions for resistance. 1t was declared by
an officer of the state department that no
additional instructions have been sent to
Minister Willis on either of the ships
that had left for Hawaii and that he
would act without anything more being
sent.
NO MORE APPOINTING NTS.
