SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2, per barkentine
W. &. Irwin, Honolulu, Nov. 22.-Since
the advices sent by tho schooner Transit,
which sailed threc days ago, the cN-qucen
has applied to the provisional govern
ment for protection, claiming that sho
fears violence from foreign residents.
Tho government at once granted her re-
quest and detail Of six police was at
once ordered by the marshal. They arc
watches OF two men each.
In an interview with Attorney General
| Smith, il is learned that the government
docs not anticipate any present political
| disturbance, or any trouble Of any kind
until the United States is heard from OH
the contingency" mentioned by Minister
Willis. Even then, the attorney general
said. trouble is not anticipated unless a
| determination is reached to restore tho
cN-queen, which could not at present be
believed. AS TO tho course thus far pur-
sued By Minister Willis. the attorney gem
eral declined to express any opinion, be-
yond saying he thought. perhaps. tho
American minister had been rather un.
guarded in some Of his remarks concern
ing diplomatic nattcrD.
THE QUEEN Ii AFRAID.
The associated press learned yesterday
directly from Washington Place that tho
cx-queen fully understands her danger In
case the United States should restore her
| to power, and that she declared to Minis
ter Willis during his late visit to Snow
l lint shn MnttlI hHyx, IN Ia,llna
| restoration, unless IL was granted her un-
der the armed protection Of the United
States. This statement is written upon
the very best authority, and has been
made by the cS-queen upon moro than
one occasion to others than the United
States minister.
The political strain continues very great.
The provisional government undoubtedly
commands the situation aud the marshal
has matters so arranged that IL would be
impossible for an attack to be made upon
the executive building without half an
hours notice TO tho governments forces,
One prominent gentleman reports Minis
ter Willie as saying that when he got
ready to act as the executive officer
of the United States, there would be but
two persons in Hawaii notified, viz. !:
"Thc head of the provisional government
and the head of the former government"
| The theory of restoration has caused con-
| siderable anxiety aud investigation in
government circles, as such a denoue-
ment would cause immediate trouble. IL
| is learned. after careful inquiry. that one
line Of official investigation has developed
| the fact that the cX-quccn shortly expects
| the return of the ex-Princcss Kaiulani to
Honolulu from England. Il Is also
thought that Theodore II. Davies comes,
| as her political agent, TO effect n conf
promise in case the United States finds 1t
| impracticable or impossible to restore tho
| ex-queen. Should such be the intent, the
theory is advanced that. should President
Cleveland be determined upon the restor-
alton of the monarchy, tho ex-princess
will be present to represent the former
government In case the cx-queen is una
valuable. II is also said that In such AN
event application will be made BY the ex-
queen for life pension from the United
States. 1t is said Kaiulani would appeal
to Great Britain in case of trouble. IL she
secured the throne.
The associated press is able 10 state
that tho bill separating the Offices Of pres
idcnt Of the provisional government and
minister Of foreign affairs will he passed
within week. and that Hon. +. NJ. Hatch.
| prominent American lawyer and mem
ber Of the advisory council, will be ap-
pointed minister of foreign affairs. The
appointment will relieve President Dolo
| of an amount Of work which his health
will not permit his continuing.

ing the arrest. Smith reafiirmcd the
charges and announced that when the
case came To trial he would put tho cN-
queen on the witness stand. The state
meut caused great excitement. royalists
saying that they would revolt before they
would allow Liliuokalani TO be brought
into court. Smith was arrested a second
time, but in the next issue renewed the
charge. Wilson then threatened. in tho
presence of the marshal. to assassinate
the editor. In the meantime the anneNa-
ton party raised n large sum for the edi-

To Great Britain for the future protection
of tho monarchy. At first. the report was
