to Gresham by an associated press repre-
sentative. Al the portion where Willis 10
reported to have said that he would be
glad to 500 the American flag over Hawal
and every other island in the Pacific. tho
secretary said: Il don't believe that"
Even a. subsequently, modified by Willis
with the additional clause, "under proper
conditions" the secretary said the min
ister must have been incorrectly reported.
Willis is capable man, he said, "He
ought not To have talked on that subject
at all, and don't believe he did"
Upon reading the statement that Ad-
miral Skcrrett was recalled for attending
ball given by the Annexation club, Gres-
ham said "absurd." The statement con-
tanned in o letter received in San Fran
cisco from a private correspondent in
Honolulu that the prov isional government
was under arms all night preceding tho
departure OF the Alameda attracted tho
secretary's special interest. IF that is
true, !" he said, ait is not likely that your
correspondent would have failed TO know
1t and speak of 1T in his letter. think
there are many inaccurate statcments in
the letter." Regarding tho assertion that
Willis said he would do nothing until he
heard further from tho state department,
he declined to say anything.
The statement reported as coming from
tho Philadelphia that some action was TO
be taken during the week following the
departure of tho Alameda is regarded as
significant, tallying as il does with a we'll
defined rImor circulated in Washington
OH Tuesday that the queen was to he re-
stored OH that day.
At tho Hawaii legation, Minister Thurs
ton had nothing 10 say on the news re-
ported. W. y. Armstrong OF the Hawaii
legation said: 'Tho friends Of the proyi-
sional government feel that any delay
that brings nearer tho time when tho pro-
visional government shall receive tho
news of the reception accorded hy the pub
lie to Secretary Greshain's letter gives ad-
ded assurance that the plan to restore tho
ex-queen will be frustrated. For this rea-
son the news Of the past week in Honolulu
will he looked for with special interest.
The earliest date Mt which ndws can reach
the outside world by ordinary channels is
Dec. q. when the steamer warInos will
arrive ut Auckland. whence tho news will
cablcd. News may be received via Van
couvcr on Dec. o."
SURPRISE AND SPECULATION.
1t was largely day of speculation at
the capitol regarding tho situation in
Hawaii. 1t seems that the report which
came by way of New Zealand that Clcve-
land had determined TO restore the queen
was surprise to the administration. The
manner in which Willis has been perform
ing his mission only adds more mystery to
the situation. II has been the theory that
it would no tho policy of Willis TO allow
the tension to become so great that the
supporters of the queen would organize
and establish her before there could be
clash between the queens supporters aud
the forces OF tue provisional government,
but on demonstration being made the
marines from the Philadelphia would DO
landed for the purpose Of protecting
American life and property, and when tho
queen had accumulated suilicicn,
strength TO warrant il, he would
recognize her. Theories and specula-
tons are INDUCED in all the more
because up To $50 this afternoon
1t was denied at the state department that
Willis had made any communication TO
tho department by the Alameda. IL is be-
lievcd, however. that some official infor-
nation has been received. the nature of
which it is impossible 10 obtain. The dis
patches to-day seem 10 Indicate to the adj
