TINT the President and Secretary of State are
all right. and the newspapers and the public
all wrong.
In the mean time there Is a fast growing
suspicion that there has been hitch in Min
lister Willis's programme. and that possibly
be has found it to he a more difficult matter
than he supposed to replace an unpopular and
undeservinc monarch upon her throne In op-
position to the wishes OF her subjects and
against the protest of the Government that
succeeded her. 1t is rumored to-day at the
Navy Department that the cipher telegram
sent to the Secretary OF State by Admiral
skcrrett from San Francisco on Monday con-
tanned more important information than the
mere announcement OF Minister Willis that
ha had arrived at Honolulu and notified
the Queen Of the intentions OF the Ad-
ministration respecting her restoration.
1t is suggested that the telegram
limited Mt the temporary miscarriage OF the
Minister'S plans. There seems to he no doubt
that according to the instructions given to
Mr. Willis. he was expected to use force to put
the Queen on tho throne il his mission could
not be otherwise accomplished So that. II he
has failed in his mission. 1t was because he
weakened in tho face OF opposition and hesi-
tated to bring on the row that he was author
lied to provoke.

ton spokesman were declaring with emphasis
that the Queen had been restored promptly
