HAwAnAN's VIEWS.


Charles Il. Biehop and General Hart
we'll Talk.
SAN FRANcIsco, Nov. 1S.-Charles R.
Bishop, one of the largest property own
era and leading citizen of the Hawaiian
islands, WAS among the Hswaiisns who
awaited the newa from Honululu with
great anxiety and who boarded the
steamer upon her arrival. He was soon
in consultation with ex-Consul Sever
ance.
81 am uncertain what effect the the
disclosure of the United States govern
ment's intention will have" said Mr..
Bishop. "The Royalists have all along
been confident that matters would take
turn in their favor, and claimed to
have good reason for their confidence.
The provisional government 10
made up of men OF character,
spirit and courage, and in an
issue of arms, if there is no outside
interference, they certainly will be able
to take care OF themselves. OF course,
if the United States uses force quite q
different phase will be place on affairs.
Nevertheless, the provisional govern
ment will not surrender the ground al
ready secured without exhausting every
reliable method of sustaining their
position"
Gen. Alfred s. Hartwe!l, who came
from Honolulu on previous sseamer,
and who is in close touch with the pro-
visional government, received letters to-
day describing the situation there. "The
publication in Honolulu OF Minister Will

solidste members and adherents OF the

strain of anxiety and uncertainty in
Hawaii must be severe. But l find it
difficult to believe that the matter will
reach the egigency of arms. / cannot
for q momeht believe that any officer in
the United States navy will bring himself
to fire on Americans in Honolulu, and !
believe that when the facts are laid be-

KEPT IN IGNORANCE.
The Time Not Opportune for Willis
Coup d'Etat.

The Time Not Opportune for Willis
Coup d'Etat.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. The dispatches
from Honolulu render it very evident
that the people there, probably includ-
ing the Hawaiian officials, were up to
the time of the sailing OF the Australia
in entire ignorance of the. decision
reached by the president and his sso-e-
tary of state that Liliuokalani should
be the restored monarch. Instead of
receiving such intimation from Willis.
the provisional government appears to
have been led to believe that the present
relations were to be in no way dis
tnrbed.
Instead of interpreting the demon
sirations of the warship Philadelphia as
hostice, as might have been the case if
the Hawaiians had been in possession
of the facts given out at Washington.
they eeem to have adopted the con-
clusion that the move was intended as
an assurance of the determination OF
the United States to prevent internal
disturbances.
All this gees to confirm the theory that
Willis discovered q state of affairs in
Hawaii which his instructions did not
anticipate. Those who entertain this
opinion dwell upon the incidents OF the
marshaling of the Hawaiian forces and
the landing of the Philadelphia
boats. Were these boats lowered
and manned with thu intention oi
effecting landing in the interest OF the
Queen, and was the understanding
given up when it was found that the
Hawaiian government had 400 men
armed and prepared to take any steps
necessary to protect the government oi
President Dole.
They say Mr.. Willis concluded that
the time was not opportune for coup
d'etat, and that he decided to take nc
decisive steps until he could communi'
cate with his home government again
and receive further instructions.
Surprise is manifested on all sides in
government circles at the intelligence
that affairs remain unchanged in Homo.

was expected. This chains interest and
suspense until the arrival OF the next

AT THE HAWAIIAN LEGATION.


They Think the Queen Ia Afraid to Be
Retnstated.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-An Associated
Press reporter went to the Hawaiian le-
cation with the bulletin from the steam
er Australia, sent out by the Associated
Press. Minister Thurs.on has felt con-
fident all along that President Dole and
the provisional government wonld hold
out against the first shock of the dis
closure OF Willis mission and refuse to
yield without force. He decided he
would not express an opinion for publi-
cation. He had expected to hear that
the provisional government was still in
authority. He said he was very much
pleased to hear thas 1t was still so. That
was all he would say.
MR.. ARMsTRoNG's VIEWS.
w. N. Armstrong, former attorney
general of Hrwaii under Kalakaua.
when shown the bulletin. said he had
felt confident all the time that Dole
would not yield without the employ
ment OF force. He thought Dole would
have drawn up his forces in form for
defense until marines were actually
landed. Mr.. Armstrong felt confident
Dole would not yield to any mere verbal
request or threat. Armstrong is strongly
inclined to believe, also, that the queen
has advisors who would counsel her
against consenting to go back upon
the throne unless the United
States guaranteed to maintain her
there. Neumann, who presented
her claim in Washington, is
amply capable of preceiving the bear
ings of his clients case. He would bs
likely to say to her that unless protec-
tion in some way was guaranteed her,
she would be likely to be killed as soon
as the protection of the United States
was Withdrawn. Armstrong thinks
this may have had influence on the sit
uation in Hawaii, by perhaps making it
impracticable to carry out the instruc-
tions to Minister Willis.
WILLIS AUTHORITY LIMITED.
1t is not presumsble that Minister
Willis lie equipped with authority to
give such guarantee, and it is doubtful
whether President Cleveland has in his
mind to continue United States protec-
tion to the queen after she is restored.
The administration evidently has not
taken into consideration serious opposi-
tion to the restoration of the queen, or |
any hesitsncy on her part to resume the
CONSUL wILDER's DISPATCH.

the Hawaiian consul at San Francisco,

DIR. rAyLoR,s OBSERVATIONS.


Wen-Known Physicians Views of tho
.= Hawaiian situation.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 18.-Among the
arrivals by the Australia was DR.. L. w.
Taylor. well-known physician of Wash
ington, d. c.. who is high in the Masonic
order. The doctor was seen this morn
ing at the California, and readily COM
municated the results Of his observations
in Hawaii. He is evidently keen and
discriminating observer and manifested
much interest in the subject.
Il can give you a perfectly unbiased
report" he said. ~ am travelling
simply for pleasure and observation and
have no axes to grind. My stay on the
islands was about one month and had
exceptional opportunities of meeting the
best informed people there. Ifound the
intelligent and educated elements
strongly in favor of annexation to the
United States, with small exception.
This annexation sentiment prevailed
among the educated men of the native
race to whom talked. Among the
ignorant and superstitious Kanakas
there is, of course, sort of traditional
awe OF royalty and it is from this class
only. or chiefly that the ex-quesn that
gets support in her aspirations to re-
cover the throne. Among the educated
and property-owning classes there is no
respect for her pretensions.
Nothing was known in Honolulu
when the Australia left Of the instruc-
tions or intentions of Minister Willis.
1t had been talked over in a quiet way
by leading men there. The Gresham
1ae 10 ko xrhinh haa ofi
red up 80 much talk in this country,
had not been published or heard OF
there, so that the Hawslians were even
mora in the dark than you are here as
to the policy of the Cleveland admins
tration.
From what learned on the islands
l think it would be impossible for the
queen, il reinstated, to retain the throne
unless constantly backed up by the |
power of the United States. The feel
ing is very strong against return to the
II the queen were restored
and the United States government |
should then stand aside she could not |
retain the reins.
"There has been large immigration |
,f Japanese into the islands, as you
Know, and the labor market there is
we'll supplied. The superintendent of a
Iugar plantation told me that there lie
enough cheap labor now to supply all
he needs for two or three years to come.
50 that the United States immigration
avs, though they would put stop to
he importation of cheap labor under
contract, would not make any imme-
late difference to the planters, and the
APPS could continue to come in as
leeded just as they do now.
II found that the men at the head

confidence of the business community

PROVISIONAL government has given a wise
md economical administration, and |

expect it to make big boom
here. In that event think Hilo would

THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
Great Excitement Caused by the Advlces

Great Excitement Caused by the Advfces
from Honolulu.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-News from
Hawaii, brought to San Francisco by
ths steamer Australia, was eagerly
sought for by the officials at Washing.
ton. Associated Press bulletins on the
subject, promptly furnished the White
house, contained the first news the
president received from Hawaii. He
read them with much interest, but de-
clined to say anything touching the
matter.
GRESHAM SURPRISED.
Gresham was furnished copy of the
Associated Press bulletin announcing
that Minister Willis had presented his
credentials to the provisional govern
ment of Hawaii, without making any
reference to the restoration of the
queen. He seemed greatly surprised,
but absolutely refused to express any
opinion upon the news thus conveyed.
His entire manner indicated that he did
not consider the news reliable, or that
he entertained the opinion that it did
not cover the entire situation. He
opened his mouth only to laugh.
1t was supposed he would not wish to
express any opinion until he should re-
ceive an official statement from Willis,
and this was the Interpretation put upon
his silence by people intimately associ-
ated with him in the department.
GREsHAM's INCREDULITY.
'No wonder" said one OF these gentle
men, "if Gresham views this announce
ment with incredulity. Compare
it with his letter to the presi.
dent and it will be seen how
inconsistent this reported conduct
on the part of Willis would appear to
Gresham. The department is on the
tlptoe OF expectation for news OF an Of
fetal character detailing Willis actions.
Anxious as the public generally is upon
the question, there is no one outside
whose concern is more than faint COM
pared to that felt in the department,
from the secretary down. 1t is more
apparent than ever that there will be
extreme disappointment if Willis dis
patches do not convey information of
some positive steps upon his part look
ing to the restoration of the queen"
GRESHAM AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
After the first bulletin that the pro.
vieional government was still in power
WAS shown Secretary Gresham he hast
ened over to the White House and did
not return until after o'clock. Mean
while the copyrighted letter of the AS
sociated Press from Honolulu was sent
up. A copy was also taken to Secretary
Herbert at the navy department. Sat-
urdsy is always the secretary's busy
day, but he laid aside the important
business on hand and had his secretary
read him the whole dispatch. When
Secretary Gresham returned from the
White Hause he was offered copy of
the letter but he had already read, with
the president, the special sent to the
White House.
DISAPPOINTED OFFICIALS.
When the Associated Press bulletin
announcing that the provisional govern
ment was still in power was first shown
Secretary Gresham he declined emphat
ically to believe it. Disappointment and
excitement were evident throughout the
state department.
THE STATE DEPARTMENTS DISPATCH,
The state department has a diepatch
from Honolulu that arrived by the Aus
