WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-The chief inter-
est in the Hawaiian situation now sur.
rounds the instructions given Minister
Willis and tho contents of the cipher
message which was received after the ar.
rival of the China. A number OF outside
people are now quite familiar with some
of the important features OF the instruc.
tions. There is no doubt that Minister
Willis was instructed to mako the resto.
ration OF Lilioukalani conditional upon
full amnesty being granted the men who
engaged in the revolution and overthrow
of the queen. Minister Willis was told to
say 10 the members of the provisional
government that the president felt he
ought protect them to this extent, ne he
believed the authority OF the United States
and Minister Stevens led them into revo-
luton. 1t is thought that the minister
was instructed first to call upon the queen
and tell her tho president desired that she
should placatc those who had been instru.
mental In her overthrow and to sustain
herself In authority without the assistance
OF the United States. Ii Is believed that
the state department has been informed
that these conditions are satisfactory to
the queen and had been accepted by her
at the time the China sailed.
To President Dole il is understood that
Minister Willis was instructed to soy that
the president felt il necessary to decide
the matter as il the dispute had been re-
ferred 10 him, and in restoring the queen
the president hoped to have the hearty CO.
operation of the Dole administration.
After having righted tho wrong done by
this government. the United States would
assume tho policy of non-interference.
The belief is growing that Minister Willis
instructions did not include the employ
ment OF force. The rather cordial recep-
ton accorded yesterday by Secretary
Gresham to Minister Thurston's official
call, and tho formal acknowledgment OF
the unsevered relations between the lega-
tion and the government makes IL incrcd'
ible that instructions had been given ia
land marines in Honolulu for the purpose
of aggression upon the government which
Mr.. Thurston represents.
The original right of Queen Lilioukalani
| to the throne of Hawaii was by the nomi
| nation of her brother Kalakaua. The
| Hawaiian constitution provided for this
mode of succession. When q monarch
failed to provide q successor the choics
reverted to the upper house of the legisla
ture. When Lunalilo died in 1873 after {
brief reign, he had named no successor
The house OF mobiles chose David Kala
kaua. He had been . police court lawyel
in Honolulu and played tho banjo q
dances for q consideration. His wife Kap
iolani had been the widow of q South Sea
Island missionary. At one timc sh,
helped to support her husband by wash
ing clothes. kalakaua's mother was o
the blood Of low chiefs, as was that of hi
reputod father. 1t is notorious, however
that kalakaua's real father was a negr,
barber. Kalakaua and his full sister Lii
oukalina show wide divergence from thu
Hawaiian racial type. Their noses ar,
ilatter, their hair Is kinky and their lip
much thicker than the pure native type
The late princess, like her mother. Priu
cess Kaiulani, half sister to Lilioukalani
was of pure native blood and her appear
ance was in marked contrast to that o.
her brother and sister.
