President has given his approval to Secretary
Crashoms findings, basel as they are upon the

Mr. RIount. While it has no. been regarded as
oxnedient at present to make public the lns'ruc-

There Is still a question as 10 what may DE

er,lIy believed that If the representations 'i'iue
by Minister Willis upon the occasion cl 'ho

the President desires that the queen DC t.

yisional Government TO give erect 10 that ue

PREPARATION, But NOT MlNTENANOE'
Rut taking into consideration secretary
Cresham's declaration that this Government

Hawaii II is believed that when Liiuokalani
is again placed upon the throne from which, &C
cording to the findings Of Commissioner Biouh''
she was DISPLACED by the action Of the United
States Minister and naval forces the Govern
ment of the United States will regard its duty
as fully ACCOMPLISHED. In other words. the as
s;stance of this Government vii, extend 10
reparation but not to maintenance ana once
installed. the Queen must defend her throne
and Government unaided by the United states.
This position is believed 10 be in accord WIN
the doctrine Of neutrality and fair dealing 10
which the Government of the United States Is
pledged and also in conformity with the Ne
publican principle of recognizing the right OF
a majority of the people of Nation 10 pre-
scribe their own form OF government.
One novel and totally unexpected result-or
rather possible result-of the reinstatement OF
the Queen By the action of the United States
Government, was suggested to-day b. per-

edge 1t was. in substance. tina. this acuoh
would be an absolute acknowledgment that the
Queen was dispossessed by the United States.
and therefore. that she would have sonnd
claim against the United States for cornpensa-

At the headquarters Of the Hawaiian repre-
sentatives in this city nothing definite has
been received during the day from Minister
Thurston who was supposed to have left Chi

this evening that the Minister had possibly
turned his face toward San Francisco. and was
endeavoring TO catch the steamer which saiis
for Honolulu on Thursday Of next week one
of the representatives SAID:

"I believe that would be the best thing he
could do under the condtio rs that exist. Mr..
Thurston. if the Provisional Government shall
have maintained itself for 80 long a time. will
be an immense benefit to his official associates
upon his arrival. do not believe that the
Provisional Government will. be so easily brushed
aside as some people imagine will be the
Secretary Gresham says he believes the Queen
Is already upon her throne. but have idea
that IL will require something more than the
withdrawal OF the support of the United States
Government to undermine the Provisional Gov

forces land from the ships and put the Queen
back on the throne, she will not get there with

extreme course is contemplated even by Secre-

When asked II he had ANYTHING TO say about
the statement furnished to the public by Secre-
tary Gresham he responded that he did not care
to 20 into that matter, and would only say that
in his opinion, 1t was a much exaggerated and
oyerdrawn statement Of the condition Of affairs
at the time of the change Of government. He
had been present at the several meetings that
took place In Honolulu on the day the change
occurred and was In the Government house when
the Provisional authorities were installed and he
asserted that the local militia, acting for the
Provisional Government. was In charge OF the
grounds several hours before the marines from
the Boston appeared. He did complain OF the
use of the word aliens in the statement pre-
