Report That Minister wnlis Wished to

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 2O.-The steamer
Monawai arrived from Sidney, Auckland
and Samoa via Honolulu late yesterday
afternoon She brings full Hawaiian ad-
vices to -he Associated Press nearly q
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 he taken until some
definite policy regarding Hawaii has been
announced by the United States
The candidacy of Walter 6 Smith, edi-
tor of the Star. to fiji the vacancy to be
created upon the return of Hon. NJ f
Hatch, who will resign to accept the posi-
tion of minister of foreign affairs, still
holds prominent place in Hawaiian pol
itics 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 auneNationists.
Both Minister Willis and Consul Cen
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 hol-
| day, and preparations are being made to
carry out a big demonstration which will
| include military display i'm the after
| noon and a torchlight procession and fire
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.
Rumors 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 Spreckels- Cornwell faction"
The marshall also said:
"The rOyalists have sent several lobby
lists to the United States lately, and un-
derstand that Hon c. w. Ashford goes
by the Monawai today to appear before a
committee of congress at its present ses-
sion Ashford was preceded by Hon. E.
G.. MacFarlane and Arthur Peterson, ac-
compaued by Mr.. Sampker, for the
avowed purpose of enlisting Claus Sprecl-
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 endeayOred
TO persuade him to return all of s(Willis0
correspondence on the subject of restOra-
tiOn, and to eXpunge from the records
Dole's reply and everything else pertain
ing to the subject and to maintain abso-
| Lutte secrecy about the whole transaction.
Dole fatty refused to enter into such a
plan, and it is said that Willis then at
tempted to force Dole to- act according to
his wishes, threatening to take the Amer.
lean men-ofwar out of the harbor and
practically break off diplomatic relations
between the United States and Hawaii
Dole still refused to enter into the pro
ject, and Willis alleged attempt to null
lily his restoration policy failed.
