SAN FRANCIsco. Jan. 6. - Capt.
Munger, of the Corwin. has at last been
interviewed. To an Examiner reporter
tonight he said that the Associated
Press Auckland dispatch which stated
that Minister Willis had made a formal
demand for the surrender of the pro-
visional government was true. Beyond
thar Munger would say no more.
EARLIER REPORTS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Great reti-
renee is shown in government circles
concerning the advices from Honolulu
received by the COrwin. 1t was learned,
however, from Official sources. that the
dispatches practically coalirm every
thing stated In the cabegram received
by the Associated Press from Auckland.
Officials of the state and navy depart
ment now accept the cable advice as ac-
curate. In Capt. Munger's report to the
Departmental of the treasury Of the arrival
Of the revenue cutter Corwin at San
Francisco. he stated that the vessel
sailed from Honolulu on the 9th OF De-
cember. The captains report contains
nothing else of interest. Ii the vessel
left on the oath, she brings news from
that place two days later than that re-
ported in the dl4DatcheS from Auck-
land.
The emphatic incredulity expressed
by the state department may have been
changed by the receipt of a cipher dis
patch which came by the COrwin, as it
Nil ha /,
the Associated Press. 1t seems that the
queen has recOnsidered her objections
TO acceding to the conditions exacted,
and that Munster Willis has proceeded
on the line OF his original instructions,
notifying the provisional government
that they are expected TO retire, III order
to allow the restoration or the queen.
Nothing can be learned as to the extent
Of the disturbance caused by this action,
but that there is condition of tension
and great

is certain. This news is surprise, and
as much so to the state department as
was the news in the first place that
Minister Willis had failed to carry out
his instructions owing to the refusal of
the queen to accede to conditions. The
disappointment felt by the state depart
ment can he measured by the terms
used to discredit the Auckland dispatch.
1t was said the news was impossible. in
the light OF Minister Willis instruc-
tIonS and the presidents message,
and that rumOrS must have been set
ati0at in Honolulu for the deliberate
purpose of throwing discredit upon the
good faith of President Cleveland.
Representative Raynor, OF Maryland d,
who is to speak for the administration
in the house, was an early visitor at the
department of state this morning, and
was closeted with Secretary Gresham
for some time. Senator Gray, of Della
ware, who is the spokesman for the
Hawaiian policy On the floor of the
senate, came later, aud had a short con-
ference with the secretary of state.
There is no doubt that all concerned
feel that this latest phase of the Ha-
waiian imbroglio involves serious con-
sequences. 1t does not appear that
there Is any disposition on the part of
the provisional government to yield
peaeeably, and there is no apprehension

To RESORT TO FORCE.
His instructions are explicitly against
such a course. Minister Willis is felt by
the state department to have acted with
bad Judgment in having thus decided
to follow policy that had been defined
under conditions very different from
those under which he acte d.

Mr.. Hit, of Illinois, was evidently

want to know is what has been done:
what is the result of the demands of

On the basis OF special cable from

loving resolution in the house this
morning:
Resolved. That the president be re.
