Honolulu, Nov. 10, via tho Schooner
Transit to San Francisco, Dec. s.-During
the afternoon the Alameda sailed, Minis
ter Willis made the statement, virtually
as already published by the associated
press, that nothing definite would be done
here until he had received a reply to his
dispatches sent to Washington by the Ala
media. This Statement, was published i'm
the Star. Yesterday the Bulletin published
a letter from Minister Willis, IN which he
said he wished his remarks in the Star to
apply TO the entire press of Honolulu. Tho
stand taken by Minister Willis In his in
tcrview with the Star, which was revised
in proof by him hcforc publication, caused
considerable anxiety in government cir
cics owing to an intimation that any
breach of peace would be punished by the
American minister. To the associated
press his words were: "Any trouble pre-
cipitatcd on the other side would be
stopped at once by United States forces"
DOLE CALLS ON WILLIS.
On the morning of the 18th day after
the Alameda left, President Dole called
upon Minister Willis TO learn how far tho
authority of the United States was eN.
pccted to be carried in case of emergency.
Upon his return IL was learned that the
provisional government was fully satisfied
with the explanation and limitations made
by Minister Willis. Tho general opinion
is that the original language used by VIII
lis conveyed more than he intended il
should. IL is understood that President
Dole very clearly informed the minist er
that the provisional government COM
manded the situation and would require
no aid from the United States unless
called FOR. Tho president assured Minis
ter Willis that any breach of peace which
might occur would be speedily dealt with
by the Hawaiian government. Tue pro-
visional government received assurances
on the points mentioned, which were per.
fectly satisfactory. 1t is understood that
Minister Willis said he would stand back
OF The present government until the pres
ent difficulty was settled.
GREAT uNEAsINEss.
The tension in political matters since
the departure OF the Alameda has only
partially relaxed. Willis stated that he
made public announcement that "nothing
immediate would be done" to ease mat
tcrs down. as he believed crisis was ap.
preaching. His remedy worked for a few
hours, but it now appears that lie has di.
vulgcd just enough TO stimulate specula.
ton and both sides interpret the explana'
ton favorably, which in the end will
doubtless add fuel to the political fire
When the attention OF the United States
minister was called to tho fact that the
provisional government would aid HIM in
keeping peace, he replied he did not ex,
pect trouble unless IL came from irrcspon
sible persons on either side.
THOSE ooiSos on At TIE PALACE.
Ex-Niarshal c. b. Wilson has brought
two libel suits against Walter G. Smith
editor of the star. Tho suits have
tho report made TO Blount by Col. V
practiced in the palace by tho ex-queer
and Wilson. The original account was
published in the san Francisco Chy y0aici,
last April, and furnished its Honolulu
correspondent by Ashford, although giver
to Blount in confidence. Most of the allie
cations in Ashford's account are said e
capable Of proof and the defense allege.
il will place tho eN-queen on the stant
and give full expose of the entire mat
ter. II is generally believed that thu
