using the power of the United States
Government in restoring the monarchy
in Hawaii"
SAN FRANcIsoo, CAL Nov. 13.--Tho
steamer China arrived from the Orient
and Honolulu at o'clock this morning,
one day ahead of time.
The steamer left Honolulu November
7th, making the trip in 5 days IA hours
and 20 minutes, which is the fastest
time ever made between Honolulu and
San Francisco. Among her passengers
is Admiral Skerrett, who was relieved
at Honolulu by Rear-Admiral Irwin.
The United Press correspondent at
Honolulu, writing under date of
November 7th, says:
KNOW NOTHING IN HONOLULU.
"The main event of the week has been
the arrival on the 4th of American Min
lister Albert s. Willis, who is believed
to have brought with him instruc-
tions which fundamentally affect the
future of Hawaii. II is supposed here
that the American republic is already
informed of the nature of these instruc-
tions. We here are still ignorant of
their nature, and all parties await the
disclosure with great anxiety.
"The probability of the Importance of
Mr.. Willis mission is increased by the
unexpected arrival of Rear-Admiral
John Irwin, last evening, to take COM
mand of the forces at this station, in
place of Admiral Sterrett, who proceeds
to San Francisco on the China, this
morning. The reason for this change
can only be matter.of surmise. 1t is
possibly in order to have the intended
measures initiated by officers of higher
rank than that of nm admiral. Admiral
Irwin's coming was totally unexpected
by naval officers here, excepting those
highest in command.
Minister Willis Is to present his Gre
| dentials to President Dole this morning.
His intended address has already been
submitted 10 the President, in order to
enable him to prepare his reply. Its
contents are kept strictly secret. ! have
positively ascertained that il contains no
| definite intimation whatever of the
policy to be pursued by the new
American minister. Mr.. Willis special
communication to this government will
follow later, possibly in time to be re-
ported by the mail of the 11th.
"The Government party is confident
that the Washington policy is to main,
tain here a white mans government
with no possibility of reviving the
native monarchy. The Royalists be,
tray great depression, but are still cir
culating among the native populacC
their boast that the Queen is to be imme
diately restored by Mr.. Willis.
FAvoRABLY IMPRESSED WITH WILLIS
On his way down Mr.. Willis made {
most favorable impression onhis annexa
ZIONIST fellow-passengers including sev
eral prominent men. While strictly
reticent as to his mission, he left will
them strong impression that b,
sympathized with the annexation move
ment.
"T II. Davies, guardian of Kaiulana
also arrived on the 4th instant On the
passage over Mr.. Davies disavowed thu
widely-published statements imputed Il
him in favor of the restoration of thi
Queen. Since his arrival his tone hai
been somewhat deprecatory and plead
ing, as If he felt the hopelessness of re
establishment of monarchy. He i
deeply concerned that no injustice b
done Hawaiians by taking their country
from them without their consent by
vote.
"The Canadian-Australian steame
Miowera is still on the rocks at tn
entrance to the harbor, but she will
probably be saved if the weather con
tinues favorable"
BISHOP NEWMAN ON THE SITUATION
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, Nov. 18th
venerable Bishop John II. Newman
General Grants old pastor, and til
bosom friend of many public men Q
this and the previous generation, paid
missionary visit to the Hawaiian Island
just before the revolution. Talking oi
the subject last night at the West Hote
Bishop Newman said:
II do not believe that the people o
. the country will ever permit Presiden
Cleveland to restore the monarchy. H
cannot do it. How is it to be accomI
lished2 These care questions upol
which the people may have somethin
to say. When was in the country
the people were ripe for independence
, The leaders of the revolution were th
, cream of the intelligence and dignity c
its residents. The fact is that but fo
American influences the island woul
be in rapid state of decadence. Th
, underlying idea seems to be to get in
t fling at General Harrison"
/ WASHINGTON, Nov. 14,-A story We

to have had its origin in gossip OF til
Metropolitan Club in this city, that thei
3 were strong dissensons in the cabinet o
