the Ex-Queen.
NOBODY FEARS HER NOW.
Restoration Is Thing Utterly
Out of the Question.
PROFESSIONALS VERY HOSTILE.
Dole Prepared to Fight Anybody Who
Tries to Displace the Present
Government.
PROFESSIONALS VERY HOSTILE.

OMAHA, Jan. 1S.-The Hawaiian Min
lister at Washington, Lorin A. Thurston,
went through Omaha this evening en-
route to Washington. To an Associated
Press reporter Minister Thurston said the
members of his Government were not
alarmed at the threats of Lliuokalani, as
she was powerless and her talk was
treated as the utierance of an angry
woman. Her threats. however, lost her all
the allegiance of many loyal men who
denounce the Queen for rejecting the
proposition TO grant amnesty in case she is
restored. She cannot be restored except
by force and there is little probability of
that. The talk of securing an army in
Canada be treated as good joke.
II know nothing of protectorate being
established" Thurston said. The pres
ent Government is able to take care of the
state. / do not anticipate any trouble with
the United States. The question of an
nexation is lost sight of in the restoration
| policy, but it will come up again. In the
islands the feeling is as strong as ever in
favor of annexation. In fact, among the
natives, it is growing. l go direct TO
! Washington 10 resume my official posi-
tion."

brother of Henry Waterhouse of the
Provisional Government, who returned
from Honolulu with Minister Thurston,
talked freely on the situation in the islands
at the time of his departure. and according
to Waterhouse the spirit of the Provisional
Government is one of defiance to the
United States in particular and to all Gov
ernments In general. BE says all arrange
ments had been made to fire on the Amer
| lean flag.
'The greatest excitement prevailed in
Honolulu" said Waterhouse. "when the
Corwin arrived, and il seemed as If a rev.
Olution would be undertaken. The Pro-
vSionsl Government was ready to resist
by force. and there is no question that
there would have been a conflict IL any
attempt had been made to land marines.
The aniinosity is not confined to the
United States Government, but extends 10
any Government that expects to under
take restoration. Dole is fixed to
fight to fDish for what he
now holds. Minister Willis has
not been given his papers, but the impress
sion in the islands is that he will ask
for them soon. He is ostracized and gen.
orally disliked, the sentiment among the
white inhabitants amounting to almost a
boycott. His wife is included in the feel
ing by the ladies of the island. This ac-
tion is explained on the ground that when
Blount was in the islands he was invited
to Secretary Phillips home and then asked
questions and made use of the answers.
IL is not intended that persons in Honolulu
shall again be subjected to this sort of
thing on the part of any American con-
nected with the Cleveland administration" /"
Waterhouse further says that il any
attempt had been made to restore the
Queen she would have been sssassinated.
This is the fate" he said. "that awaits
her, and she knows it, though 1t is not
given official recognition"
New YORK, Jan. 18.-The Posts Wash.
ington special says: There is no truth in
the report that the Hawaiian Government
mas demanded the recall of Minister Willis.
1t can be stated upon authority that moth
ing of the sort has been even hinted at in
official communications between the two
| Governments.
