Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-12-13

The government claims that with the sup port of the Annexation club and the Citi- ] gems reserve, backed by the present formi- l dable battery of Gatlings, Maxims and Austrian fieldpieces now on hand, an az gressive movement could be made, if neces- | sary, that would clear Honolulu of the az gregate forces of all the men-of-war vessels at present in port should landing be made.
 In case a collision comes further aid will at once rally around the provisional gov ment from the other islands. In case it is the intention to carry out the instructions for the restoration of the monarchy Minis ter Willis has promised to give the pro visonal government S6 hours notice before taking such action.
 In case of defeat the revenues of the gov ernment have already been secreted, and the government will be reorGanized at oth- CT headquarters, defying Cleveland and the restored monarchy until the resident Amer jeans are swept by a superior force from their homes in Hawaii.
 Fear British Interference.
 It has been learned upon the best au- thority-in fact, coming directly from roy alist sourceS-that the British minister resident, Woodehouse. has lately stated to different persons in Honolulu that there WAS an understanding betwee Il President Cleveland and the English government that the monarchy should te rvstored, In private political ci.'cle h, ry, nn the annex ationist,' side. thV aE .,,u has been free ly expressed thay Iht,, r -I cs uf the British cruiser Cham piCn Es5..- hS present time was caused by lie !a-r . tine English for eigu office that Pr, ~},irEJ Cleveland would not be able tu carry out his policy and promise.
 This theory reached the executive, and the advisory council held q special session, ! in which Arecil Brown introduced the fol- 2 .Tr, T. recommended by the council 10 the execu- | tive:
 [ Resolved. That the executive council inquire 1 of the American minister whether his instruc- tions covered by and in harmony with the | letter of Sccrrtary GrcSham tn President Cleve- l land; if sn, whether he was instructed to use 1 force.
 1 Resolved, That should thc above be in the { affirmative. this council rrcOnmends that Mir. ! Willis be immediately given his passport and 1 the eX-quecn be made a prisoner of state. ! The fear of the council seems to be that | the British will offer their protection to the eN-queen in case President Cleveland fails to restore her. This is the chief req | son that the notice has been given to the foreign officials not 10 land troops without permission of the provisional government.
 The provisional government will send l important dispatches to Minister Thurston. l The fact is to be emphasized that no Ques- ! ton of arbitration has been submitted by the provisional government, as is assumed by Secretary Gresham. Mir. Thurston will be instructed that the position taken by himself is a correct one. and one upon which the government here will insist | with force ii necessary.
 IL is learned that Minister Blount in ! terViewcd but two of the original commit tee of safety the government will also for ward to Minister Thurston for his use afli- davItS from the remainir,- II members as , tN fat.fs hAnn.arin,r la l of I l,.a prumulga gatiuu of the new constitution to the time of the raising of the stars and stripes by eN-Minister Stevens.
 In view of the attitude assumed by Pres ident Cleveland, American citizens yester- day presented protest to Minister Willis which has been numerously signed.
 Blount's report raised q furore of indig- nation in both the annexation and royalist camps. The rQyalists denounce both Wuu- denberg and Colburn, and the annexation ists claim that the report is one sided and Garbled. Business generally is stagnated Investments have ceaSed. and there is no money to lend on any securities Capital is being withdrawn from banks, and both local aTtd foreign commerce wAl remain crippled so long as the present crisis and
 political excitement continue.
 In an interview with one of the cabinet
 the fact was developed that in case of fur thcr trouble the executive council will at | once carry out the recommendation of the
 advisory council, give Minister Willis his
 passport and declare the eN-Queen a pris- oner of state From semioflicial sources it is further learned that should the British minister make any attempt at interference either on behalf of the eN-queen or Great
 Britain, the recommendation of the advi.
 surv council will be extended at once, and , Minister Woodehouse will also he handed his passport.
