in the Executive building The
military forces were increased IN
numbers, and volunteer com
panies we're ordered on duty at
night. These preparations were
due. not to any fear of American
intervention but, as Damon. the
Minister Of Finance, called OH
cially to explain, resulted from
the appreheusions of many c'tl-
zens, mostly women and children
that as the following day WAS the
birthday anniversary of King
kalakaua, large numbers of ma
tives from adjoining districts
would be here and an outbreak
might occur.
Very respectfully,
ALBERT S. WILLIS"
Chicago, Jan. 19.-Minister
Lorrin A. Thurston, from Homo
lulu, passed through the city en-
route to Washington this morn
ing. He says he bears import
ant dispatches from his govern
ment to the United States govern
ment.
In reply to question Thurstpn
said. "When | left Honolulu
one week ago last Saturday Min
lister Willis was still persona
grata, and l can add there never
was nor will be a contemplated
movement on the part of Presi
dent Dole and the Government
to furnish Willis with his pass
ports. The United States is not
Liable to be sued for damages by
the deposed Queen. She never
will be restored.
Montreal, Jan. THE organ
ization of a force in Canada to
help restore Liliuokalani has
been brought to the attention of
the Dominion government. AID
iutant-General Powell declares
that it would be the duty of the
Government to stop the outftting
of the expedition. That is of
course. but the more serious
question is whether the Dominion
government wonld do its duty in
the premises. The scheme does
not seem at present to be very
formidable. but it may grow. If
such project in connection with
Royalist plots in Hawaii were to
develop any serious menace to
the Provisional Government of
Hawaii, British and Canadian
governmental opposition might
prove perfunctory.
The Royalists of Hawaii are
still making confident statements
that Liliuokalanl will be restored.
Recruiting in a quiet way for
Liliuokalani is said to be going
on at Haverhill, Mass.
Secretary Carlisle, it is said,
has announced there is no pros
pect that the United States re-
venue cutter Corwin will again
be sent to Honolulu with dis
patches for Minister Willis.
San F rancisco, Jan. 90
Among the Monowai' passen-
gers was C. w. Ashford, an at
torney, who with his brother,
Volney V. Ashford. has been
prominent in the islands for some
time. In fact the two have been
in the front ranks of every insur
rection, sometimes being for and
sometimes "agin" the Govern
ment, was approached for an In
terview, and although his an.
swers were courteous enough
they conld be simply boiled down
to evasions of the questions. MIR.
Ashford said that his trip to
America had no political signifi
canoe. but that he had come I'M
for his health. As to whether
he would go to Washington he
did not know.
L. j. hing. who has spent the
last twelve years In the islands
was not so reticent. Referring to
Ashford. he said that gentleman
between his boil and the Proyi-
sional Government was having a
very unpleasant time.
What would have been. the
effect IT Minister Willis had en-
deavored to restore Liliuokalani
