PROCEDURE.
A cali of the Ex Marshal Upon the
American Minister which bids Fair
to lie Historical.
Here is MIR. Willis confidential dis
patch No. 10:


HONOLULU, II. l., Dec. ., 1893.
"SIR: On the morning of Dember 9th
G, Is. Wilson, who was the Marshal of
the Queen at the time of her dethrone-
ment, called upon me. l asked him
what business he was in? He said he
was doing nothing; he was awaiting
results asked him what resultsT He
said, The restoration of the Queen
asked him where he got any such infor-
nation. He said, Nowhere, but he
hoped for it, then turned the CONVEX
sation to other subjects.
"As he was leaving he drew from his
pocket a document and gave it to me,
saving that he did not know whether il
was proper or not, and left. Upon ex
aiming the paper, found that it was
a detailed method of procedure upon
the restoration of the Queen, a copy of
which | enclose.
endeavored to have him call on the
same afternoon, but he could not be
found. On the following morning, Mr..
Mills. whom ! asked to find him, saw
him at about ten o'clock, and he said he
would come Immediately to see me, and
started toward the legation. He did not
reach here for half an hour. My opinion
is that he consulted several parties be-
fore coming here. Upon reaching the
legation an interview followed, copy
of which enclose.
1t will be seen that, although claim
ing to be the author of the document, a
claim which is doubtful, he finally adj
mitted that it been submitted to and
approved by the Queen, by her attorney,
and by all the members of her former
Ministry, all of whom had received
copies.
Analysis of the list of special ad.
visers, whether native or foreign, is not
encouraging to the friends of good gov
eminent or of American interests. The
Americans, who for over half a century
held commanding place in the coun-
ellis of State, are ignored, and other ma
tionalities, English especially, are placed
in charge. This is true both of the
special list of advisors and of the sup
Elementary list. IL these lists had been
selected by Wilson himself no special
importance would attach TO them, but
it would seem from the facts that it is
a list which has been approved after
consultation with leading Royalists, and
most probably with the approval of the
Queen.
With high regard, am. ETC.,
ALBERT S WILLIS.
The enclosures are as follows:
THE PROPOSED COURSE OF PROCEDURE.
Immediately on receiving informa.
ton, officially or otherwise, that her
Majesty the Queen, with her Govern.
ment as of the nth day of january,
1893, is to he restored to its former
prestige as the permanent Government
of the Hawaiian Islands, her Majesty's
Cabinet, as of said date, will at once
call Cabinet meeting for the purpose
of considering on and preparing a
course of action to be pursued under
the circumstances, and adopting such
course as will be the best means of
securing protection to her Majesty and
her Government and the security of
life and property generally to the resi-
dents of the kingdom and the perfect
maintenance of law and order through
out the Islands, together with such
other matters incident to the restor-
alton as her Majesty's Cabinet may
deem necessary and advisable, so that
the laws of the kingdom may and can
be constitutionally enforced, and all
unnecessary bloodshed and loss of life
through possible fanatical opposition be
avoided.
These possible events should be pro-
yided for by the discussion of matters
of such complicated nature and of such
far reaching consequences, in a calm
and sober way, prior to the event. None
but the best results may be looked for,
and if carefully and calmly reasoned
out, the highest success should be the
result, while if left to the last moment
for discussion and action, hasty conclu-
sions may bring disappointment, failure
and possibly even serious disaster.
After her Majesty's Cabinet have de-
cided upon a plan and course of proce-
dure, they shall invite to their council:
in body the following list OF tried
friends of the monarchy and nation to
act as advisers and assistants on al
matters taking place during the restor-
alton of her Majesty and her Govern
ment to the standing from which they
were so unjustly forced until the natu.
raj order and tranquility of former time
shall be once more established, and hel
Majesty's Government he once more
recognized as the lawful and regular
Government of the Hawaiian people.
These persons named as advisers anC
assistants will meet with the Cabinet fol
the purpose of considering, suggesting
and amending If necessary, and final,
approving and adopting the plans lai,
before them by the Cabinet for the at
tainment of the previously mentione,
objects. After final action by the unitet
meeting, the Cabinet will proceed t,
lay the result before her Majesty for ap
proval, the advisers and assistants mean
while remaining assembled to await tn
return of her Majesty's Cabinet afte
their meeting with her Majesty.
On their return they shall report tn
result of their conference with he
Majesty to the meeting. and the join
meeting will then consider and APPROX
it. Upon which, having by vote place,
the execution of the approved plans il
the hands of the executive, the meeting
will adjourn, subject to call by tn
Cabinet, they, in the meantime, to plac
themselves individually in its hands TO
orders or for counsel as the executiv
may require or direct.
The preceding propositions are mad
in the event of the United States Gov
eminent, through its officials, causin
and compelling the Provisional Govern
ment to surrender Internationally, an
proceeding to the restoration of he
Majesty's Government as it was on tn
18th day of January, 1893, possibl
coupled with request or recommend
alton to mercy and leniency on behal
of those who took part as principals j
the overthrow of the Queens Govern
menJ on that date.
In the event ofsuch restoration takin
place, in order dat the details may b
properly attended to, and that an al
surance may be given that law an
order will be maintained, and that th
constitutional government of he
Majesty Queen Liliuokalani be ono
more established on an assured basi
the following important details must
carried out, while at the same time ha'
ing due regard to all recommendation
of leniency made by the United State
Government.
Qf it does not conflict with the il
structions from the home Government
the United States Commander IN Chi
should be requested by her Majesty
Government to bring and keep Il
forces on shore in quarters to be pr
