1t Is expected there will be some de-

ofthe recent delay has been the illness of

holding a feast in honor of the anticipated
| return of LiliuOkalani to the throne. This
| feast, ii is alleged, was held on every day
! when these loyal servants of the Pro-
vlslonal Government supposed that
restoration to be actually in process Of
accomplishment. These facts have been

RoYALISrS READY TO ASSUME THE Of

HONOLULU (H. }, Jan. 12-Since the
sailing of the last steamer affairs political
have been drug in Honolulu. The Gov
ernment has been pursuing a waiting
policy, on the ground that no definite ac-
ton can be taken here until some definite
policy regarding Hawaii has been an
nOunced by the United States.
In an interview with the Marshal this
morning several important facts were
learned. Among these was the statement
that the Royalists were ready to assume
the offensive upon news from the coast
Said the Marshall: 1.-The Roysists have
sent several lobbyists TO the coast lately,
and1 understand that Hon. {. w. Ashford
goes by the Monowai to-day to appear
before the committees of Congress at
present in session. Ashford was pre-
ceded by Hon. T.. &. MacFarlane and Ar
thur Peterson. accompanied by Hon.
nI Il
OF enlistlng Claus Spreckels in a lobby
campaign IN favor of restoration. / be-
lieve that Ashford goes as agent of the
Patriotic League, native organization"
Fred Haysilden, prominent ROyalist
and sOn-in-laW of Walter NJ. Gibson ar
rived in town a few days ago. He left
again to-day for the island of Lanai
which he owns. While here he said:
The Queen will be restored. OF this we
have positive assurance, and her majesty
fully believes in her speedy restoration.
L saw her yesterday and she assured me
1t was only matter of few weeks.
| Could we see a way out whereby control
Of political patronage could be secured
through republic, we should not hesi
tate to back ii, ii we were assured that
the missionaries would not be allowed TO
control affairs upon its establishment.
While we are not Cver-lOyal, we are all
deadly anti missionary"
The candidacy OF " alter G.. Smith, ed
itor Of the ,Stu2, to fill the vacancy to be
created upon the return of Hon. +. NJ.
Hatch, who will resign to accept the posi-
ton OF Minister Of Foreign Affairs, still
holds a prominent place in Hawaiian
politics. Objections are urged to Hatch
as representative OF the sugar corpora
tiOns and attorney for Claus Spreckel
| The old missionary element is seemingly
determined to retain all the power it can
under the new Government, while the
! new progressive political forces, which
at present seem TO have the backing of q
majority of the Cabinet, insist upon put
ting Editor Smith into the Advisory
Council. 1t is thought this will be ulti-
mately accomplished.
An interview held with an intimate
friend of the Carter family discloses the
fact that j. o. Carter, a prominent Roy
alist and go-between in the recent nego-
tiations between Minister Willis and the
Queen, declared that Willis had received
verbal instructions TO use force in the res
storation OF the eX-Queen, if necessary
! and that gentleman expressed great sur
prise TO his nephew, after the departure
of the United States steamer Corwin, that
such force had not been used. 1t is said
that J. Q. Carter claims the Royalists
| had positive assurances that force would
| be used, if necessary, but for some rea-
son their hopes were delayed by Willis
action.
Attempted interviews with both Minis
ter Willis and COnsul-General Mills have
been refused. though it is plainly evident
! that both gentlemen are disappointed at
! the reception of Cleveland's policy in
| Hawaii, as we'll as the personal snubbing
| they claim American residents here have
awarded them lately.
! The question of republic still occupies
! attention, but the Government DELAYS
! action, awaiting absolute rejection of
| HawaiTs hopes by the United States Con-
gress. This, it is not anticipated, will
! happen.
! Just previous to the sailing of the Mon
| oval a sensational rumor was current,
which was traced to an authoritativ We
source, that a few days after President
! Dole's reply was delivered to Minister
! Willis, and before full details of Willis
demand and Dole's reply. Willis called
| upon Dole and endeavored to persuade
! him to return all of his (Willis') corre-
! spondence on the subject of the restora-
| ton, and to eXpunge from the records
| Dole's reply and everything else pertain
! ing to the subject, and to maintain abso-
lutte secrecy about the whole transaction.
! Dole fatty refused TO enter into such a
! plan, and it is said that Willis then at
1 tempted TO force Dole TO act according to
| his wishes, and threatened to take the
! American men-of-war out of the harbor
and practically to break off diplomatic
relations between the United States and
| Hawaii. Dole still refused to enter into
the project. and Willis alleged attempts
to nullify his restoration policy failed.
