to the Provisional Government and is
Cordially Received by President Dole
The Ex-Qucen May be Deported.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 10. Tho
Oceanic steamship Australia arrived
from Honolulu at 9:so o'clock yester-
day morning, bringing q small list OF
passengers and information that no un-
usual occurrence has disturbed the
course of affairs ut the Hawaiian
islands. Minister Willis had presented
his credentials in due form to the pro-
visional government, and had been re-
ceived as the accredited representative
of the United States. He had not
made public his instructions from the
United States. Secretary Greshams
letter had not been received nor heard
of, and, so far as known by the pub
lie, Hawaiian affairs ia the United
States were still in statu quo.
Not Re-EstabiIshed on Her Throne.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 20.-Queen Lili-
oukalani has not been restored to her
throne. In fact, latest advices from
Honolulu received by steamer arriving
al San Francisco Saturday are to the
effect that the provisional government
is in total ignorance of any such in
tent on the part of this government.
Minister Willis presented his creden-
tials to President Dole on the 9TH in
slant, and most cordial greetings were
excnanged-greetings remarkably cor
dial in the light of what was expected.
As far as can be learned no intima-
tion has been given by Minister Willis
of the attitude of this government as
expressed in the letter of Secretary
Gresham. Among those arriving by
the steamer which brought news from
Honolulu the greatest surprise was ex-
pressed ON their hearing that such q
letter had been written.
The News Disappointing at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-News from
the Hawaiian islands was anxiously
awaited and was evidently disappoint-
ing. The state department received
message from Minister Willis. but its
contents were kept n profound secret.
In fact, there was an abnormal amount
of secrecy about the state department
concerning the entire situation.
Minister Willis remarks to President
Dole are regarded as in direct conflict
with Secretary Gresham's letter. How
ever, Minister Willis may be endowed
with full discretionary powers and
have chosen such a course to work out
his instructions, which are presumed
to have been to establish the queen in
power, though on this score nothing is
known, owing to the secrecy which
has been exercised.
VIII Deport the EI-Queen 10 Necessary.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. e0.-Yesterday's
Call says:
"lf United States Minister Willis in
sists upon the reinstatement of Queen
Liliuokalani, as queen of Hawaii, that
woman will be deported from the
islands. and the chances are that the
exequatur of President Cleveland's en-
voy will be cancelled and he will be re-
turned to this country as persona non
grata. This is rather astonishing
news, but is what the provisional gov
ernment has decided upon"
This is probably founded upon the
interview with ex-consul general to
Hawaii, Henry Severance, who was
asked:
What will the provisional govern
ment do when Il demand is made that
the queen be restored?"
They will probably at once cancel
the exequatur of the minister making
such an absurd demand and cause him
to return to this country"
And as to the queen?"
'Oh she will have been disposed Of"
What do you mean, that she will
have been killed."
mo; nothing of the kind. There
will be no bloodshed. She will be out
of the country. She will have been
deported."
This move was contemplated some
time ago, was it not?'
Yes" said Mr.. Severance. land it
was even spoken of in the newspapers,
but it was considered Inadvisable, for
it was believed that the great United
States would listen to reason and such
harsh treatment would not be neces-
sary. The provisional government
now stands ready to carry out the sug-
| gestion the moment it seems necessary
for the safety of the powers that now
rule the island
What effect will the letter of Secre-
tary Gresham have on the govern
ment's action when it reached Homo
| lulu?"
II should not be surprised were the
queen deported the very day." he re-
piled.
''What if the United States attempts
/ to put her on the throne by force by
landing marines?"
This country will never do that. In
the first place the. chances are that
Minister Willis would find no queen to
'boost" on to the throne. No, there
will be no force used. IL Grover Cleve-
land should attempt such thing the
people of the United States would
raise such a cry that he would at once
be called to his senses. Mr.. Cleve-
| lands great mistake is that he does
not know the caliber of the men he
is dealing with. They are every bit as
bright and clever as he is. Sandford,
though not president, could fill any
Office in the United States with honor,
| and the other ministers are equally
capable. They are determined men,
q
clean government. The thinking peo-
pie want them in power, and they will
ren:ain there"
"About cancelling Minister Willis
exequatur. can the provisional gov.
ernment do that?r
Most assuredly. They formed an
independent government, recognized
as such by the different nations, and
they can refuse to receive a minister
should they so decide"
But, suppose Mr.. Cleveland should
insist upon what seems to be his policy
and attempt TO force the minister upon
the islands and the queen upon the
throne?"
II tell You again he would not dare
do such a thing. The people of the
Urited States would not stand such a
course of action"
