Washington, Jan. Captain Nun
gers report to the treasury depart
ment of the arrival of the revenue cut
ter Corwin at San Francisco, stated
that the vessel sailed from Honolulu
on December a. but gave nothing
else of interest This is two days later
than the Associated Press report from
Auckland.
The incredulity expressed by the
state department yesterday concerning
the exclusive Associated Press news
from Auckland has been changed by
the receipt of cipher dispatch
brought by the cutter Corwin, which
fully confirmed the Associated Press
news.
1t seems the queen reconsidered her
objections to the conditions exacted
bv this government and that Minister
Willis has proceeded on the line of his
original instructions, notifying the pro-
visional government that they are ex-
pected to retire and allow the restora-
ton of the queen.
Nothing can be learned of the extent
of the disturbance caused by this &C
ton. but that there is a condition of
tension and great excitement in Homo
lulu is certain. This news is a surprise
as much to the state department as
was the news in the first place that
Willis had failed to carry out his in
structions. owing to the refusal of the
queen to accede to the conditions.
/ Representative Raynor, of Maryland,
who is to speak for the administration
in the House, was an early visitor at
| the state department and was closeted
with Secretary Gresham some time.
! Senator Gray, Of Delaware, spokesman
for the administration in the Senate,
later had a short conference with the
secretary of state.
There is no doubt all concerned feel
that this latest phase of the Hawaiian
embroglio involves very serious conse-
uuences 1t does not appear that there
is any disposition on the part of the
provisional government to yield peace
ABLY. and there is no apprehension
that Willis will resort to force. His
instructions are explicitly against such
a course. The state department feels
that he acted with bad Judgment in
attempting to carry out a policy de-
| fined under very different conditions.
| Everybody is very anxious for the pub
| location of the contents of the cipher
dispatch brought by the Corwin, but
the state department SO far has de-
clined to make the contents known.
Representative Hit, of Illinois, evil
| IDENTIFY giving full credence to the truth
of the Associated Press Auckland dis
patch. introduced the following resolu-
ton in the House:
Resolved, That the president be re-
| QueSted to communicate to the House
If not inconsistent with the public in
terest all information received since
| his message of December TO- $685. or
not transmitted Herewith and now in
his possession touching the recent re-
ported events in the Hawaiian island
any attempts to Overturn the republi-
can government thereon and erect a
monarchy in its stead and especially
whether any representative, officer, YES
sci or armed forces of the United
States took part in such attempts to
subvert a friendly government, and
| if so, under whose orders they acted.
Senator Frye, member of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, expressed
much concern to know whether the adj
vices received yesterday were correct,
and when answered they were, said
1T is the grossest outrage yet if the
story be true. While Cleveland did not
say in so many words that he would
drop the matter unless Congress
should give its support, his message
created the impression that such
would be his policy, and he ought,
in all fairness after the delivering of
| that message, to have Immediately
Withdrawn all instructions to his min
lister looking to interference with the
affairs of Hawaii until Congress could
at least have had time to take action .
what" was asked, "do you think
will be the next move made by the
president?"
HE cannot, with due regard to the
constitution go any further than he
has gone; but I cannot undertake to
saw what Clnuplo mi will do
Charles Wilder, Hawaiian consul at
San Francisco has telegraphed the le-
cation here that the CorWin brought no
mail, dispatches or newspapers to them
and that he is unable to ascertain any
thing from the officers of the Corwin as
to the condition of affairs in Honolulu.
| The Hawaiians at the legation in
this city express apprehension lest the
last move of Willis will inspire the
1 royaliStS in Honolulu to some act of
| violence on or the killing of some
prominent men in the government,
Heading to general bloodshed No fears
are expressed that the provisional gov
Iernment will not prove able to sup
press any outbreak; but there is ground
| for fear an outbreak may occur.
| Allison felt there was some doubt
about the correctness of the report,
| but said:
IF it is true, it is a great mistake.
The whole business must end in fiasco
for the president, as he has said he
would not use force
! Voorhees, thinks the blame of the
whole trouble began with the previous
administration. He says the people
lcare nothing about the Hawaiian cues
| ton He. considers Stevens the respon-
sible man and believes he was engaged
lin a conspiracy six months before the
revolution took place to Dust the queen
| and annex the Hawaiian islands. The
senator says he would not hesitate to
go before a jury to convict him of con-
spiracy, and feels confident he would
succeed. If" he added, there was
some powerful government behind Ha-
wall, as Spain was hack of Cuba, when
certain Americans attempted to seize
that island, the consequences might be
as serious for the conspirators in this
instance as in that"
| HILL, of New York, declined to enter
into any discussion of the report as
lit stands wait until we know all
about it, said he, land after think
ling moment, he added: IF it should
prove true, 1 fear Hawaii would dis
place the election bill in the Senate
| discussion next week..
1 McCreary, chairman of the House
foreign affairs committee, still refuses
! to credit the news that Willis has
made a formal demand on the provis-
