Administration-Presid Dole May De-
 port the Queen From the Islands-Gresh-
 am Has Nothing More to Say.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-The state de-
 partment is less disposed now than ever to
 take the public into it's confidence on the
 Hawaiian question. In considering the
 news by the Australia it should be under
 stood that much that has been published
 during the past two weeks has been pure
 conjecture and surmise. The part that Is
 an indubitable fact is that those in the con-
 fidence of the administration have felt and
 expressed the utmost assurance that the
 Australia wou, bring news that ex-Queen
 Liliuokalani h.X already been restored to
 the throne. Assertions as to Minister
 Willis instructions have been almost
 wholly inferences from this and from the
 expressions in Secretary Gresham's pub lished letter.
 The information as to these instructions sent out 10 days ago was received from what was believed to be & thoroughly trustworthy authority. This WAS that Minister Willis was to seek to induce the
 provisional government to give way to the
 restoration of the ex-queen, but was to em- ploy no force, waiting for further instruc- tions if he found it necessary.
 Did Dole Have w.rningf It is possible that Minister Willis had become convinced to his entire satisfac- tion, without having laid the matter be- fore President Dole, that the provisional government cannot be displaced without force, and so has determined to walt for further instructions
 It seems certain at all events that Presi- dent Dole had DO suspicion when the Aus tralia sailed that it was the purpose of Minister Willis to restore the ex-queen. It is not possible that MT. Thurston, Ha- waiian minister here, could have given him warning, for Secretary Gresham's let ter astounded and disconcerted him when 1t was published and left no opportunity for him to warn his government It has been the chief fear of the friends of the provisional government in this country that in its ignorance of public sentiment here and the first shock of the threatened | action by the United States it would yield | its authority.
 It is true, however, that for some time past the provisional government has aban-
 doned all hope of favorable action by the present administration toward annexation
 and has been considering means to put it. | self on permanent footing.

SUCCESS OF THE REVIEW.
Admiral Gherardi's Good Opinion of the
American Representation.


American Representation.
Admiral Ghsrardi is enthusiastic over the
success OF the recent naval demonstrations in
American waters. The effect. he says, will be
to broaden the ideas of the people Of the
United States respecting the need for a navy
and to give them confidence in the ability Of
the United States to build vessels equal to those
Of the great naval powers of Europe and to
provide competent officers for them.
When asked how the United States cruisers
compared with those Of the other nations,
Admiral Gherardi said: "Our cruisers are
equal IN every way to other vessels Of like
class. We have made some mistakes. to be
sure-I am inclined to think. for instance, that
the criticisms Of our vessels for their high free
boards is well taken-but not more mistakes
proportionately than any other nation has
made; rather less, think. In this country all
Deficiencies and faults are freely and openly
told In most foreign countries such things
are seldom mentioned or known by the public.
When / entered the navy in the forties we had
as hne class OF vessels as any other nation.
The high standing Of the navy was maintained
until after the civil war. Then the national
interest in the navy lapsed and our navy be-
came the laughing stock Of foreign nations and
finally Of ourselves. The interest has now been
thoroughly awakened again. and the American
people NAV be sure that the ships which are
being turned out of our yards are the equals of
any anoat The latest built, the New York, is
splendid vessel
Admiral Gherardi said that the Russian adj
miral had told him that one OF the principal
reasons for taking the Russian fleet to Phila-
delphia was to give the officers a chance to see
the ship yards Of the Cramps, which. the ad-
miral had said. were the most complete and in
struclve he had ever seem The Russian YES

ADMIRAL GHERARDrs VIEWS.
IL Would BE Better IL Naval Oficers Al
tended to the Work Of the Navy.

tended to the Work of the Navy.
Rear Admiral Gherardi was recently inter-
viewed in New York in regard to Secretary
Herbert's policy with reference to granting
leave Of absence to naval officers to allow them
to engage in private business enterprises.
There were two classes Of private business,
or, rather, two sets Of conditions. under which
II was sometimes undertaken by officers in the
navy, he said, which were separate and dis
tlnct. One required leave Of absence and took
up. presumably, about all the time Of the officer:
the other required simply portion of the Off
GERS time and could be done without interfer-
ing with his duty in the service.
"How extensive has been the practice Of Sc
curing leave OF absence to attend to outside
afsirs?" Rear Admiral Gherardi was asked
I cannot say precisely" he replied, ''but
doubtless there have been many cases where
officers Of the navy have been given leave of
absence for considerable lengths Of time and
have devoted this time to business concerns for
which their training in the navy had especially
fitted them The order Of the Secretary will
naturally cause general discussion of these
cases. No secret has been made Of the fact that
this practice has been going on"
do You know Of any instance?''
AZ think Of several in which officers have
been given protracted leaves of absence and
have been employed by private business con-

but the facts are well known in naval circles
And. mind, do not say that any wrong is
done. III . naval officer is given leave of alb

to enter the employ Of private concern dur
ing his leave there is no power to stop him, and
he does no wrong in doing so. The question
Is. however. on the advisabiity Of giving naval
officers such leaves of absence.
"There Is a.possibility Of naval officers do

not interfere with his duties an officer. For
instance, suppose shipbuilding firm comes to
me with plans and wants advice or comes to
me and asks for plans Of q ship which will pos
sess certain qualifications and says: Give us

your trouble and your opinion No one has a

Military Attache at Paris,

Lieut.. VIM. A. Glassford. the young signal
service officer who has been on temporary duty
at the United States legation at Paris, has been
ordered to report for duty in Washington not
later than July l. He was sent abroad ex-
pressly for the purpose of securing the French
military balloon which has just arrived at the
worlds fair. but he has also rendered service as
an attache to the legation in the place of Capt.
Borup. No one has yet been selected for the
permanent detail at Paris, but it is said that
Ambassador Eustis favors Second Lieut..
Andrew Hero, jr., fourth artillery. That officer
is thought to be ineligible on account Of his
short service. Changes in the attaches of the
American legation at London, Rome, st.
Petersburg and Madrid will also soon be in
order
