WASHINGTON, Nov. 2i-Secretary Gresh-
am received a cipher message from Minis
ter Willis giving a complete report of the
Hawaiian situation mp to the departure Of
the Alameda from Honolulu. The mes
sage was put on the wire at San Francisco
as soon as it arrived there Being in cipher,
it required several hours to translate it,
and then it was at once taken to President
Cleveland, who read and discussed it with
several members of the cabinet.
a Message From willis.
As to the exact contents of the message
no one outside of the president and his
cabinet knows. 1t is a closely guarded
state secret and will be held until the
president desires it to be made public. The
fact that the message was received was
given out, however, and it was also an
nounced that its contents We're highly sat
isfactory not only to President Cleveland,
but to Secretary Gresham and the other
members of the cabinet.
Minister Willis, it is understood, has
been carrying out his instructions to the
letter, and the results up to the hour of de
parture of the Alameda were just what the
administration hau anticipated they would
be.
This is interpreted by officials outside of
the cabinet to mean that Minister Willis
had completed all the arrangements forthe
restoration of Queen Ltliuokalani TO the
Hawaiian throne.
The dispatches which came on the Ala
media seem to indicate TO the officials of
the administration what they have hereto
fore asserted-that the provisional govern
ment still stands because il feels that it is
backed by the moral support of the nitcd
States, and that thus far its acts have been
approved by this government. This is AS
serted to be the case because the dis,
patches say that members of the provision
al government do not credit the report by
way of New Zealand that President Cleve-
land intends to restore Queen Liliuokalani.
At the same time it was plainly evident
that the armed resistance to the royalists
which the provisional government was
making gave the officials Of the admins
tration no little concern.
No News Until Dec. :.
Secretary Gresham having refused TO say
anything in reply to that portion of the
news which stated that Minister Willis
had said that no action would be taken
until he had communicated with the Amer
lean government by the Alameda and re
ceived reply, there is great speculation
as to the character of the dispatch received.
1t is probable that the state department
has no desire to make any disclosures OF
these dispatches until after the whole af-
fair is disposed of. Only by intimntion
have the contents of former dispatches
been learned except rs to the assurance
given that they showed that matters had
progressed in the islands just As the ad
ministration expected and that everything
pointed to the restoration of the queen
some time during this week.
The news of the past week in Honolulu
will be looked for with special interest,
The earliest date at which this news can
reach the outside world by ordinary chan
nels is Dec. = The WARNINGS was due il

there to Auckland, New Zealand-a tive

land on the It'll, and there is a cable thence
to Australia and from there to India and
around the world 10 the United States.
The state department has been sending
out copies of the report of Minister BlounI

members of the senate, with personal notes
