THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION.

Washington Excited over Rumors of
Trouble in tho Sandwich Islands.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE state de-
partment Is inclined to discredlt the
Auckland dispatch saying that Minister
Willis had made demand on the pro-
visional government of Hawaii to abdi-
cate in favor of the queen on the ground
that such action is directly contrary to
the instructions sent by the Corwiu, re-
ceived by Willis Dec. IL, nearly two
weeks before the date of the Auckland
advices. There is intense anxiety,
however, in congressional circles and
all sorts of rumors are afloat that blood
has already been spilled at Honolulu.
Advices from Auckland say the ex-
citement in Honolulu over the political
situation is growing 10 intensity, owing
to a letter having been addressed by
Minister Willis to the provisional gov
ernment requesting the surrender OF
their offices, as the United States had
decided in favor of the restoration OF
the queen. The minister informed the
government that Lilioukalani had agreed
to grant amnesty to all who had taker
part in the revolution, to ratify the OBJ
legations of the present government
and to govern faithfully in accordance
with the present constitution. The
government was preparing long re
ply to the minister.

quilted. Yesterday morning the chief

ledo this evening. Kohler was huck-
ster in this city at the time of the muir
