SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20-The steamer
Monawai arrived from Sidney, Auckland
and Samoa win Honolulu late Yesterday
afternoon. She brings full HB%aiian ad-
vices to the Associated Press nearly a
week later than previous advices.
Since the sailing of the last steamer po-
litical affairs have been a drug in Homo
lulu. The government is pursuing the
policy that no action be taken until some
definite policy regarding Hawaii has been
announced by the United States.
The candidacy of Walter G.. Smith, edi-
tor Of the Star, to fill the vacancy to be
created upon the return of Hon M. +.
Hatch, who will resign to accept the posi-
tion of minister of foreign affairs still
holds prominent place in Hawaiian pol
tiles. Objections are urged to Hatch as
the representative of sugar corporations
and attorney for Claus Spreckels. As
stated In our last dispatch, the fight Is
virtually one between the radical and
conservative elements of annexationists.
Both Minister Willis and Consul Gem
eral Mills appear to be sore on account Of
the snub to the United States government
In Hawaii, as well as on account of the
personal snubbing they claim the Ameri-
can residents here have given them lately.
The government has determined to cele-
brate the 18th day of January as holi-
day, and preparations are being made to
carry out big demonstration which will
include military display in the after.

works at night. Both the American
league and Annexation club will take
part, as will the political organizations to
be organized in favor of annexation.
kumors of expected royaliSt uprising
have prevailed recently. In an interview
with Marshal Hitchcock that officer said;
'The government is fully prepared to
meet any outbreak either here or on other
islands. The royalists have threatened so
long that the royal standard would be
raised on one of the other islands that we
have prepared to thoroughly squelch any
uprising that may be made either through
irresponsible persons or through the influ-
ence of the Spreckeis- Cornwell faction"
The marshall also said:
"1he royalists have sent several lobbv-
lists to the United States lately, and un-
dsrstand that Hon. C. w. Ashford goes
by the Monawai today to appear before a
committee of congress Mt its present ses-
sion. Ashford was preceded by Hon. Il.
G, MacFarlane and Arthur Peterson, ac-
companicd by Mr. Samplser, for the
nyowed purpose of enlisting Claus Spreck-
els In the lobby campaign In favor OF res
toration"
just previous TO the sailing of the Mon
oval sensational rumor was current.
which was traced to an authoritative
source. that few days after President
Dole's reply was delivered to Minister
Willis, and before full details of Willis
demand and Dole's reply had become pub
lie, Willis called on Dole and endeuvored
topersuade him torcturn all OF hist Willisv
correspondence on the subject of restora-
ton, and to cxpunge from the records
Dule's reply and everything else pertnin-
lug to the subject and to maintain abso-
lutte secrecy about the whole transaction,
Dole iatly refused to enter into such a
plan, and it Is said that Willis then at
tempted to force Dole to act according 10
his wishes threatening to take the Amer
icnn men-of-war out of the harbor and
practically break or diplomatic relations
between the United States and Hawaii.
Dols still refused 10 enter into the pro-
ject md Willis alleged attempt to null
lify his restoration policy failed.
