VICTORIA, Is. c., Jan. 0.-Iionolulu
ndvices say: Minister Thurston will
return to Washington at once, where
his services will be mu oh needed.
While Willis menucing attitude has cut
off sales of bonds the treasury has been
amply ~replenished by tax collections
and the available cash increased from
Si43, 5G2.s7tosal2. 346.6T during the week
ending December 81. Tho government
is keeping the answered. Dole to Willis
demands secret until 1t shall have had
time to reach the president. The fol-
lowing summary, however, has been
obtained from good authority. Dole be-
gins by noting that this is the first
Official communication this government
has had minimizing in any way the
policy of President Cleveland towards
Hawaii. BY no action of this govern
ment has any matter connected with
the late revolution been submitted to
the authority of the United States.
This is carefully argued. No intination
has ever been made to the
provisional government of any
thing having beer done or con
sidered in the premises until the
alleged conclusions OF the president
now presented by Minister Willis. An
exhaustive resume is given of the series
OF political struggles leading up to the
revolution. including the acts of HULA
kaua before 1887, una his obstructing
and debating legislation by fill
ing the legislature with Office hold
ers. Dole denounccss in the
strongest terms the story that Stevens
was ever asked to have his forces as
sist in the revolution or that he had
ever done SO. The government dis
inns having ever authorized Damon
any other person to make terms for
the queens surrender, and denies
that he ever reported or was asked to
report such terms. Damon made
those terms on his own responsibility.
Never before or since the revolution did
the members of the committee Of safety
confer with Stevens about the over
throw OF the government. Tire pro-
visional government is responsible only
to those who constituted and are now
maintaining it in power. 1t is amen
able to no foreign power on earth.
1t has always been faithful to it's con-
stituents and by no acts or %intiination

the United States or any other power.
For these reasons this government must
refuse to consider the proposition of
Minister Willis. No nllusion is made
by President Dole to Willis appeals
to their patriotism and moral sense nor
to terms of amnesty secured from the
eX-queen.
The Warrimo lay Mt Honolulu De-
cember 81 and January /. While
there, beyond the sight of n few pro-
v%isional government soldiers parading
the streets, there was nothing to indi-
cate that the country was in the midst
OF a political crisis upon the outcome of
which rests its future. The Warrimo
brought no passengers from Hawaii.
Not Il Government of the People.
B. Thompson. one of the British com
missioners of FIJI, was Il passenger.
He said to a United Press reporter:
'"My stay was very short and my
investigation into the situa-
ton necessarily superficial. The
PROFESSIONALS or auncxation-
lists evidently taking a cue. now nd-
vance the Claim that their government
is fully organized and properly consti-
tnted, and any act of the United States
tending to restoration is an net
against a recognized power. There
is not the %faintest doubt that Il vote of
the people would overthrow it. Pro-
visional soldiers are paid $40 n month,
and while n lucrative salary is paid the
ranks will always be full. The natives
are inactive and l do not won

reports and l doubt if they appreciate
the true situation. They are
held in check, no doubt, blythe presence
OF the American, Japanese and British
men of war in the harbor. The land

time Of the overthrow had it's effect on
