from Honolulu, received by the Corwin.
1t was learned however. from official
sources, that the dispatches practically
confirm everything stated In the cable
gram received by tho Associated Press
from Auckland, and published exclu-
Svely Friday morning by papers re-
ceiving its report Officials OF the state
and Navy Departments now accept the
cable advices as accurate.
ln Captain Mungei's report TO the
treasury department OF the arrival OF
revenue cutter Corwin, at San Francis
co, he stated the vessel sailed from
Honolulu on the cath OF December.
The captains report contains nothing
else OF interest. II tho vessel left on
the cath she brings news from that
place two days later than that reported
In the Associated Press dispatches from
Auckland.
The omphatic incredullty expressed
by the State Department Yesterday has
been changed by tho receipt OF a cipher
dispatch which came by the Corwin, as
IL iully confirmed the news received by
the Associated Press. 1t seems that
the queen has reconsidered her obiec-
tions TO ncceding To the conditions ex-
HIS ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS,
notifying the provisional government
that they are expected TO retire IN order
to allow the restoration of the Queen.
Nothing can be learned as TO the :
tent OF the disturbance caused by this
action, but that there is q condition of
tension and great excitement at Homo
lulu Is certain. This news IL a SURPRISE
and as much so TO the State Department
as was the rews In the first place that
Minister Willis had failed 10 carry out
his instructions owing TO the refusal OF
the Queen TO accede TO conditions
The disappointment felt ny the State
Department can be measured by the
terms used To discredit the Auckland
dispatch. IL was said that the news
was impossible Ia the light of Minister
Willis's Instructions and the Presidents
message, and that rGmors must have
been set aGoat in Honolulu with the de-
Iioerate purpose OF throwing discredit
upon the good faith of President Cleye.
land.
Representative Raynor, OF Maryland
who is TO speak for the administration
In the House, was an early visitor at
the department OF State this morning,
and was closeted with Secretary Gresh-
am for some time. Senator Gray, who
Is the spokesman for the Hawaiian pol.
Icy on the floor OF the Senate, came
later and had a short conference with
the Secretary OF state.
There Is no doubt that all concerned
fell that this latest phase OF the Ha-
waiian imbroglio involves very very
serious consequences.
IT DOES NOT APPEAR
that there is any disposition on the
part OF the provisional government TO
yield peaceably and there is no appre-
hension that Minister Willis proposes
to resort 10 force. His instructions are
explicitly against such a course.
Minister Willis is felt by the State
Department to have acted with bad
judg ia having thus attempted to
pursue policy which had been defined
under condit very different from
those under which he acted. A. the
Capitol today there was manifested a
great deal Of interest in Hawaiian news.
aud general desire was expressed for
the contents OF the cipher kilograms
sent by the steamer Corwin.
II became generally known that the |
Associated Press Auckland cable was
correct, though some member we're re.
luctant TO admit IL and still expressed
some doubt. On the basis Of special
cable from Auckland, Mr.. Hit intro
dueed the following resolution ia the
House this morning:
ResOiUed, That the President be re-
quested 70 communicate TO the House
