GROVER CLEVELAND.
The first piece of correspondence is
letter from Willis to Gresham dated
Honolulu, Nov. 18, 1893. Willis states
that on Monday, Nov. IL, the queen
visited him and he made known to
her the Presidents regret that she had
been dethroned through the unauthor-
lied intervention of the United States,
and his hope that the wrong might be
redressed. He then made known the
conditions of her restoration; but she
said that the persons concerned in her
overthrow would Ee beheaded and their
property confiscated, as was the law.
Willis then said: Il have no further COM
munication to make to yon now, and will
ernment." Further on Willis says:
aAs to the Queens safety 1 do not have
any fear at present There is tele-
phone in my sleeping room and have
asked her people to call me up at any
hour of the night or day. She also
has the privilege, as stated in previous
dispatches, of coming here. or of going
on one OF our war vessels" He says he
has had no interview with the Queen
or her representatives since the one OF
Nov. Ii.
The letter dated Honolulu, Dec. IA,
which acknowledges the receipt of in,
structions by the Corwin, is spoken OF
further on. The letter is brief, and
among other observations Willis says:
The excitement consequent upon the
unexpected arrival of the Corwin is in
tense throughout the city. The Presi-
dents message, which was published
this morning, has increased the excite
ment, but l hope no immediate OUT
break will occur"
In q letter dated Dec. is, Willis says
that on Dec. 16 he had an interview
with the Queen and her advisers.
Under date of Dec. 20, Minister Willis
in a confidential dispatch says when he
secured the Queen consent to the
terms OF restoration, then for tie first
time he made his proposition known to
the Provisional Government.
Ina letter dated Dec. 9, Willis states
that G. B. Wilson, one of the Queens
supporters, called on him and handed
him what he termed "A method of pro-
cedure upon restoration of the Queen"
1t provides: /. A proclamation by
the Queens government of her reas-
sumption of the control of the govern
ment of the Hawaiian Islands. g The
appointment of commander-in-chief
and staff. 3. A proclamation of the
martial law and the suspension of the
writ OF habeas corpus. 4. The calling
upon all the loyal citizens and we'll
wishers of tie government to register
their names ut the Office for enrolment
of volunteers.
The final instructions sent to Willis
by the Mariposa say that he has right
ly comprehended his instructions; that
the President reglet, that the failure
of the provisional government to ac-
quiesce in his conclusions constrains
him to reach and submit measure of
justice to the Hawaiians and their de-
posed sovereign. The instructions
say that the President has never
claimed the right to act as ar
bitrator between the constitutional
or provisional government.
Wants Pay for Her Throne.
A San Francisco paper contains the
following from Honolulu:
Ex-Queen Lilinokalani has entirely aban-
doned all hope of ever remaining the throne Of
Hawaii and is now perfecting arrangements
for bringing suit a.atnst the United States for
an immense amount of money. This informa-
tion. comes from source which makes it abb

deposed solely by. the armed force of the
United states at acting under the advice and
known among the leading royalists that a
represe ntariye of the ex-Queen left here not
long ago for San Francisco. He was instructed
to open negotiations with the State Depart
ment concerning the payment of a large sum
to the ex-2ueen as partial return for the loss
