PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Dec. 6.-The
bnrkentfne Klickitat arrived from Homo
Zulu yesterday. She left four days after
the steamer Alameda sailed for San Fran
cisco. All was quiet up to the time of the
ships departure.
In an interview Minister Willis stated
that no change In tho present situation
will take place for several weeks. Since
his arrival certain contingencies had
arisen and Mr.. Willis had thought best to
submit these matters TO Washington he
fore proceeding further to carry out his
original instructions. Any disorders would
be promptly quelled The ex-queen $ sup
porters were much incensed after the in
terview appeared.
After this statement rumors began to
fly about that the queens supporters
would make a final rally in her behalf.
The crews of the United States war vessels
Philadelphia and Adams were held in
readiness to be landed at a moments no
ttce. The queens advocate came out the
next day with denial of the Willis inter
view, saying that he was misquoted and
by inferonce gave encouragement to the
idea that Mr.. Willis had or wot;!d receive
all imperative order to restore the queen.
The Administration DIspIeased.
WASHINGTON, Dec 6.-rhe state depart
ment was evidently already informed of
the Hawaiian news received by the Asso-
ciated Press so far as it conveyed the In
tention of Minister Willis to take no fur
ther steps towards carrying out his in
structions until he should hear further
from the department But so far as IL
conveyed the public uttcrances in Homo
lulu by the minister of his intentions, IL
was news to the department, TO the pres
ident and to the cabinet. There were evil
dences TO show that il was not agreeable
haws, and the impression was conveyed
that the administration is rather disap-
pointed Mt the manner in which Minister
Willis has thus far conducted his mis-
sion.
1t is evident that the state department
received by the last steamer the news HAT
Minister Willis had determined to defer
the carrying out Of hls instructions until
he had heard further from his govern.
ment. II is a fair presumption that the
revenue cutter Corwin carries to him the
further instructions for which he asked.
The paragraph in the presidents message
referring to Hawaii was written after the
additional instructions to Minister Willis
had been dispatched.
An Associated Press representative re-
eeved from reliable source an intima-
tion OF the nature of the policy intended
30 he pursued In Hawaii The extent of
she active influence intended to be en-
ployed in behalf Of rcsenting Tiiuokalani
on the throne has probably been exngge-
rated. The purpose Of the administration
L. believed to be rather to net as an arbi-
traitor between the two parties in dispute,
and to prevail upon them 10 agree be-
tween themselves. This was contingent
upon the evident belief, based upon the
explicit assertion contained In a letter Of
Mr. Blount. thai ms pyovkiansI govern.

That annexation was impracticable
Enough is known of Minister Willis'
Impressions, "a ned since his arrival in
Honolulu, toanake it certain that he does
pot agree with Mr.. Blount In the belief
that the new government will be short
lived Whether this impression caused
his determination TO await further in
sstructions from Washington is matter
