SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-The steamer
City OF Peking arrived today. bringing
full Hawaiian advices to the Ass ociated
Press. Nothing of startling character
has occurred since the Warrimoo left there
January Let. The government decided
TO make public President Dole's reply to
Minister Willis's request that the pro-
visional government retire and allow the
queen to be restored. Accordingly
Dole's reply was published in full in the
Honolulu papers OF recent date. 1t lie
more than 5000 words in length.
RADICAL NExATIoNIsTs.
The radical wing OF the. annexation
party is making active efforts to obtain
large representation in the provisional
government, it having been announced
that vacancy would occur in the vice.
presidency OF the council. Efforts are
being made to place Walter g. Smith,
the radical leader of the American move
ment, in the place. The advisory coun-
Gil, however, has shown some opposition
to this, and it is thought probable that
serious political differences will arise.
This has all grown out OF Minister Will
lis's recent action.
SHE HAS THEM ON HER LIST.
1t is learned from a prominent royal
ist that after United States Minister
Willis had made his demand upon the
provisional government, he heard that
the ex-queen intended to except several
individuals from her guarantee of am
nesty. 1t ia reported that thereupon the
American minister spent portion of
the evening ia question at Washington
place, arguing with the ex-queen, urg-
ing her TO change her opinion. 1t is said
that che refused TO do this, and that she
excepted from amnesty President Dole.
W. G. Smith, Attorney. General Judd
and several others.
THE RoYALIsTs' GROUNDS.
At meeting recently held. the royal
lists declared that the main grounds upon
which. they stood were: First, that the
provisional government acquired power,
not as revolutIonists, but at the dicta-
ton of Minister Stevens and by the use
OF United States forces second, that in
any event they considered the whole
matter must be referred to and settled
at Washington; third, in case of such
to be protected by forces of the United
States, and that Americans in the
islands were to be diaarmed within six
months by the said United States troops.
The newspapers have been making it
hot for Minister Willis. George Num-
son OF the Star has filed an affidavit in
which he virtually charges the United
States minister with falsifying an inter
view.
THE AUSTRALIA ARRIVES.
The steamer Australia arrived here
at O'Clock this afternoon, having left
Honolulu one day later than the Peking,
which arrived this morning. Little OF
Importance had occurred at Honolulu
since the sailing OF the Peking 1t was
known that for the last AS hours Pres
ident Dole and Minister Thurston had
been closeted together. Thurston drove
directly to the dock and boarded the
Australia, bound for the United States.
The American league had prolonged
meeting to force the appointment of
Walter q. Smith of the Star to position
in the advisory council. These radical
annex xationists state that should the
conservative element attempt to place
q missionary or a representative of the
they will cease to support the provision
al government. Both factions, how
ever, are united on thJ proposition that
there shall be no restoration of the
monarchy.
THURSToN MAKES A STATEMENT.
Minister Thurston who arrived from
Honolulu today, made the following
statement for publication:
ssIhere is no likelihood of there be-
ing any radical change in Honolulu for
the present. Matters are IN supense
awaiting Developments in Washington.
and | do not believe anything Will be
done for tire mnediate present. The
supporters of the government are
united and unanimous in their approval
OF the course taken by President Dole.
While the Royallsts have utterly lost
hope since the queens action concern
ing amnesty to members of the pro
yieional government has come to light
she is condemned by them nnsparingly
for her action, even the Royalist organ
doing so editorially. The provisional
government was never 80 strong
as. it is today. Some of the
foreign correspondents speak OF in
terna differences. have jast
spent two weeks in daily communica-
ton with the leaders, both in and ont
of the government. and found nothing
but the most cordial feeling and earnest
determination to stand and act together.
Business is at stsndstill and the strain
OF the suspense has boen and is great,
but heard not the slightest suggestion
of weakening or compromise"
Thurston also said there was no polit.
ical significance in the visit OF F. NJ
Hatch, until recently vice president of
the provisional government. He is here
merely on business and will return next
week.
THREE OF THE QUEENS SUPPORTERS.
The fact that three such prominent
supporters OF the ex-queen as Sam
Parker, A. P. Peterson and Z. @. Mac
Farlane arrived here together today
gave rise TO the report that they were
