MANY HARSH CRITICISMS
Willis Latest Act Takes Even the
State Department by Surprise
No Official News
Given Out.

WARRINGTON, Jan. o.-toptaiu Iuuu-
gers report to the treasury department
| OF tho arrival Of the revenue cutter Cor
win ut San Francisco stated that the ves-
sol sailed from Honolulu Dec. -, but Rave
nothing else Of interest. This is two days
later than the associated press report from
Auckland.
The incredulity expressed by the state
department yesterday concerning exclu-
sivc associated press news from Auckland
has bcen changed by the receipt OF
cipher dispatch brought by the cutter
| Corwin, which fully confirmed the asso.
ciated press news. II seems tho queen
reconsislsred her objections to the condi.
tions exacted hy this government and
that Minister Willie has proceeded on tho
| line OF his original instructions, notifying
the provisional government that they are
| expected to retire and allow the restora.
tion of the queen.
| Nothing can be learned a. to the extent
| of the disturbance caused by this action.
| But that there is a condition OF tension
| and excitement In Honolulu is certain.
| This news Is a surprise as much TO the
state department rs was the news in the
first place that Willis had failed to carry
out his instru uctions. owing to the refusal
Of tho queen to accede to the conditions
| Representative Raynor OF Maryland,
who 10 10 speak for the administration In
the house. was an early visitor at tho state
department and was closetcd with Sccro-
tary Gresham some time. Senator Gray
Of Delaware, spokesman for the admins
tration in the senate, later had a short
conference with the secretary OF state.
There Is no doubt that all concerned feel

quences.
| Ii does not appear that there Is any dis.
position on the part Of the provisional
government to yield psaeeably and there
10 no apprehension that Willis will resort
to force. His instructions wsre explicitly
against such q course. Tho state depart
ment feels that he acted with bad iudg-
ment in attempting to carry out policy
defined under very different conditions.
Everybody is very anxious for tho publica-
ton of the contents of tho cipher dis
patches brought by the Corwin; but the
state department SO far has declined to
nsas the contents known.
4 Representative Hit of Illinois, evidently
| giving full credence 20 the truth OF the as
sociatcd press Auckland dispatch. intro
duced tho following resolution In the
house:
Resolred, That the president he requested TO

| with public interest. all Information received
since his message OF Dec. Is, 1895, or not trans.
| mtted Herewith and now In his possession.

any representative, officer. vessel or armed
forces OF the United states took part In such at

| SO, by whose orders they acted.
Senator Frye, a member Of tho commit
teo on foreign relations, expressed much
concern to know whether tho adviccs re-
ccived yesterday were correct, and when
assured they were, said: at is the gross
est outrage yet, IL the story is true. While
Cleveland did not say In SO many words
he would drop the matter unless congress
should give him its support, bis message
created the impression that such would
be his policy, and he ought in all fairness,
after delivering that message, to have i'm.

"what," was asked, "do you think will
bo the next move by tho prcsident?'
ale cannot with duo regard TO the con.
stition 90 any further than he has gone,
but cannot undertake TO say what CLsvo'

Charles Wilder, Hawaiian consul at San
Francisco, telcgraphcd TO tho legation
hero that the Corwin brought no mail, dis
patches or newspapers to them and that lac
was unable TO ascertain anything from
the officers of the Corwin as 10 tho condi
tiou OF affairs in Honolulu. The Ha'
waiians at the legation In this city express
apprehension lest the last move OF Willis
will inspire the royalists In Honolulu to
some act of violence or to tho kill
ing OF some prominent men In the
government, leading TO general
bloodshed. No fears arc expressed
that the provisional government will not
provo able to suppress any outbreak, bu
there is ground for fear that an outbreak
may occur.
