and made known the fact OF the pro-
posed queens restoration. Many ques-
tions ware asked and few answered.
Ii was very noticeable that no one
was heard TO ask whether the
government would refuse or not.
That went without saying. 1t was
learned that no intimation was
given whether the military or naval
force would be employed to enforce
the demands The general sense Of
relief was manifest that the new min
ister had been forced out Of his con-
ccalment and that the meaning of his
equivoeal expressions for the past six
weeks was now plain.

dent Dole expresses strong conviction
that Minister Willis has authority TO
employ the naval forces for that
purpose. This impression i de-
rived from Willis language an

the royalists support this belief.
His emphatic assertions to the Ameri-

functions imply power to enforce
his action. His declaration of an in
tention TO suppress disorder by naval
forces implied the same. Whether he
had such authority or not. every one
understood him TO imply that he would
compel submission to his demands.
But when request was made. it was in
courteous terms without any implied
threats
