the legation about twenty minutes.
Minister Willis has not yet returned
the call. The ex.queen'B action created
much unfavorable comment It sur.
prised the royalists aa well as the an
nexationists.
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 continues. Tho statement will
show that the cash surplus in the treas.
pry stand at $lS6,S50 rs, and that tho
total amount of bonds sold to date up-
der the loan act Is $l67,0O This will
allow the government to carry out all
the appropriations authorized under
section 2 of the appropriation bill for
which no provision has been made, and
will leave balance OF SS6S SO on hand
besides the cash surplus. The minister
oil finance states that all the current ex-
penses Of the government to November
have been ordered paid, and that
under the present favorable conditions
be soon expects to largely increase the
surplus cash in the treasury.
1t has been learned from Official
sources that tho reason Of Admiral
Skerritt's recall from this station was
because he personally attended q ball
given by the annexation club to the
officers Of the U. S. S. Boston as fare
woll, and to the officers OF the U. S. s.
Philadelphia as welcome.
Admiral Irwin was officially received
at the executive building on Saturday,
November II, at 1880 p. M, with mill
tary honors. On the arrival and de-
parture of the party the government
band played American national airs.
Agitation for the removal OF the roy
alists from Office will probably rest in
allegiance until something definite 10
heard from Minister Willis.
WILLIS INTERVIEWED.
The Associated Press correspondents
have just had an interview with Minis-
ter Willis. He declared thar the first
part of the reply he made to thei Amer
lean league should be qualified to read:
"He would like to see the starS and
stripes wavingover," ETC., under "proper
conditions" He declares he never said
the result here would be such as Amer
leans would not regret, 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 $3.50. The steamer
sails at 3 D. IN. The last words to the
Associated Press reporter were that any
trouble precipitated on either side
would be stopped at once by the United
States forces.
The Honolulu Commercial Adusrtiser
publishes the following in an extra edi-
ton on Thursday, November lB, the
day the Alameda sailed for San Fran
cisco:
extra, 1880 q. m. President Cleve-
land proposes TO restore the monarchy.
Our press having been delayed till late
this morning waiting for the Alameda's
arrival from Auckland and Sydney, and
the edition having been printed with
out the expected news, we hasten to
give in an extra the more Important
items received by us. AS President
Cleveland can act in the Hawaiian mat
ters only by the authority OF Congress,
it remains to be seen how far Congress
will sustain him in the proposed restor-
alton OF the monarchy. AS the tele-
gram comes via London, it may not be
strictly correct but we give 1t as re-
ceived. The following is copied from
the New Zealand Herald Of November
IA, under Washington date of Noyem-
ber 9, or five days later than our news
that We have received here:
WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 2.-PreSi-
dent Cleveland is drafting q message to
Congress in favor OF restoring the mon
archy in Hawaii >"
When the attention of Minister VIII
lis was called to the above dispatch
from Washington he declined to express
an opinion. 1t is the belief here that
the dispatch is unfounded. At the last
moment the provisional government de-
clares it has no further information, but
is certain it will be able to maintain tue
peace,
