SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 13.-Minister
Thurston, who arrived on the steamer Aus
traila to-day declared that everything was
quiet when he left the Hawaiian islands. A
reporter said To him that a statement was
made this morning by a passenger pas. en- on the
was bad, and that she was threatened with
heart failure. There is no truth whatever
in it," was the reply. 1 am on my way
TO Washington. Regarding my instructions
and future actions, 1 am not at liberty to
talk. | believe that the Queen is not popu-
lar with the royalists in the Islands. AS
she is the only one that could be restored
TO the throne, they are obliged TO accept
her, but they are very much dissatisfied
with her actions of late. particularly In her
not accepting with alacrity the proposition
made to restore her" Tonight Mr.. Thurs
ton wrote out the following for publica-
ton:
There is no likelihood of there being any
radical change in Honolulu for the present.
Matters are in suspense awaiting develop
ments IN Washington, ana 90 not believe
anything VIII be done for the Immediate
present. The supporters of the government
are united ana unanimous in their approval
or the course taken by President Dole,
while the royalists have utterly lost hope
since the Queens action concerning amnesty
to members of the provisional government
has come to light. She is condemned by
them unsparingly for her action, even the
d. RoyalistS organ doing so editorially. The
provisional government was never so strong
as lie is to-day. Some of the foreign CORE
Spondents speak of internal differences. i
have just spent two weeks in daily COM
munication with leaders, both In and out of
the government, and found nothing but the
most cordial feeling and earnest determin-
alton to stand and act together. Business
IS at standstill The strain of suspense
has been and is great, but heard not the
slightest suggestion of weakening or COM
promise"
Minister Thurston also said that the visit
OF +. NJ. Hatch, until recently vice presl-
dent of the provisional government, Is
without political significance. He is here
merely on business, and will return to Hon
oiulu next week. From another gentleman
board Australia learned
the correspondence between Willis and Dole
Is not yet over. The gentleman who gave
the information is intimately connected with
the provisional government. He said that
after Dole had made his reply to the de-
mand of Willis, he addressed another letter
TO the American minister. In TINS letter he
pointed out that business was at a stand
stin, and Republicans and Royalists alike
were not aware which way to turn on ac-
count of the policy pursued by the repre-
Sentative of the United States. He there
fore asked Willis to give him definite in
AS no no an answer was returned TO this letter
President Dole sent another and more urg-
ent 70 Willis. This was answered by
brief note, in which Willis said he was
drawing up a paper which would definitely
set forth his intentions, and that he would
transmit the same in a few days.
The Australia also brought a statement
from correspondent in Honolulu, TO the
effect that eX-Queen Liliuokalant has en-
tirely abandoned all hope of ever regaining
the throne of Hawaii, and is now perfect
ing arrangements for bringing claim
against the United States for immense
amount Of money. The correspondent says
that information comes from source
which makes it trustworthy that agents of
the ex-Queen,, now il the United States.
ment generally is against her restora ton,
and in favor of annexation OF the islands,
and that all further efforts on her part to
regain her lost position will be utterly USE
less. 1t is stated that, acting on this In
formation, and in view Of the stubborn
stand taken by the provisional government,
Liliuokalani has concluded to abandon the
struggle to restore former conditions and
will seek pecuniary solace in claim for
heavy damages against the American gov
eminent. 1t is understood that her action
will be taken upon statements made in her
favor by President Cleveland, in his mes
sages To Congress, by Secretary of State
Gresham, in his letter to President CleYe-
land, and by Commissioner Blount, in the
report of his investigation, and upon the
further fact that in recognizing the justice
! of her cause, and acknowledging that a
wrong has been done her. the United States
| endeavored 10 induce the provisional gov
| eminent TO surrender in her favor
