HAWAII AGAIN.
Secretary Gresham Has Some
thing to Say on the Subject.
He Believes the Queen Was Wrongfully
Tre.tea-WiN She BE Reinstated?-
Minister Willis Arrives At
Honolulu.
The Queen Wronged.

GItSSSo u icSttCut Nv S-AAAA ~ 49,
retarv Gresham, on October Is. has
been given out for publication The
secretary reviews in detail the acts
leading ND to the revolution in Hawaii,
in January last. and takes strong
grounds in the opinion that Queen
Jiliuokalani would never have been
deposed had it not been for the land
ing OF United States marines from the
United States steamship Boston.
He mainta rs also that the provis-
inaal government has bee n maintained
solely by the fear of the military power
of the United States He cites much
evidence from Blount's report and from
the reports of Minister Stevens himself
to sustain this view.
The government of Hawaii he saws,
surrendered its authority under a
threat of war until such time only as
the United States should reinstate the
constitutional sovereign and the pro-
visional government was created to eN-
list until terms OF union with the United
States have been agreed upon.
The treaty of annexation Withdrawn
from the senate should not, he argues,
be submitted again
should not the great wrong" he
says, done to a feeble but independ-
emit state by an abuse OF the authority
OF the United States be undone by re-
storing the legitimate government?
ANYTHING short of tina will not. ! re-
spectfully submit, satisfy the demands
of Justice
Minister Willis Arrives
e
every reason TO believe that United
States Minister Willis has already car
RED into effect the instructions issued
to him before his departure FOR Hawaii
in accordance with the terms of
the letter OF Secretary Gresham
made public Saturday. 1t is said
that he VIII simply request
the members of the provisional govern
ment to retire with promise that the
United States Will exercise moral influ-
ence to maintain 4 stable government
on the islands and prevent vagaries
and recesses. Opinion here is divided
as 70 what Will be the outcome. some
holding that there will surely be
trouble. others believing that the MEM
bers of the provisional government Will
be glad 10 have relief.
Soon after the reports from Honolulu
reached the department to-day. Secre-
tarv Gresham hurried over TO the navy
department and had q very brief inter
view with Secretary Herbert which
may have been only an inquiry as to
whether his de partGlent had any news
to communicate.
Some expressions by the Hawaiian
minister, Mr.. Thurston, published this
morning. are said 20 have given offense
to oe administration and the rumor
was afoat that the awaiian reNesen-
tatives here would have their eXeoua-
tors demanded. Whether they give
actual offense or not their position is
an anomalous one. representing as they
do 4 government which the United
States is willing to see deposed.
The United States warships Phila-
delphia and Adams are now at . ono
lulu with SIS men. and so far as is
known, no steps have been talHn TO
reinforce them. The Yorktown. ALI
ance. Monterey. Nohican and Ranger
are all on the Pacific coast. and could
gather at Honolulu in four weeks.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 1.-THE steam
er China. which has arrived from Hon
olulu. reports that up to the time it
left there Minister Willis had not made
known his instructions from President
Cleveland and there had been no tSsor-
der of any kind
The new minister arrived early on the
morning of November and went di-
rectly to ex-Envoy Blount's headguar-
tiers at the Hawaiian hotei. He refused
to see Arporters until Monday as he was
i'll from the effects of travel Sunday
he remained at the hotel resting. Last
Monday morning he submitted to an
interview and his remarks left no
doubt that he was duly accredited to
the provisional government. He said:
Il am sorry l can say nothing on
the political questions at the pres
ent time. In the course of the morn
ing intend to address your minister
of foreign affairs asking when it will
suit the convenience of President Dole
to receive my credentials from the
United States government At the
same time l shall send him manu-
script copy of the remarks l intend to
deliver on the occasion of my presenta-
ton to him. This is my first expert
ence in diplomatic matters. but un-
derstand such to be the custom When
ever the president notifies me of his
readiness to receive me l shall be on
hand. Under the circumstances it
would be an act OF discourtesy to the
Hawaiian government to discuss the
political situation at the present time"
Minister Stevens Indignant.
AUGUSTA. Ne, Nov. I2-John l.
Stevens. late minister to Hawaii. said
of Secretary Gresham's report on the
Hawaiian complications: The posi-
ton TO which Gresham has seen fit to
commit himself is so extraordinary. 50
void of real foundation of truth. so cal
luminous of the living and the dead.
that l have no extended reply to make
at this time. prefer to let time and
events and history decide the issue the
secretary has raised against the provi-
sional government and the aspersions he
sees TT 70 cast on the deceased captain of
