STILL MORE MIXED.
But the State Department Is
Keeping Its News to
Itself.
IT willis Asked the Provisional Govern
ment to Get Out There May BE
Complications.

WAsHISGToS, Jan..7.-Capt. Munger's
report to the treasury department Of the
arrival Of the revenue cutter Corwin at
San Francisco stated that the vessel
sailed from Honolulu on December "A,
but gave nothing else Of interest. This
is two days later than the Associated
Press report from Auckland.
The incredulity expressed by the state
department. concerning the exclusive
Associated Press news from Auckland,
has been changed by the receipt Of
cipher dispatch brought by the enter
Corwin. which fully confirmed the As
soCiated Press advices. Ii seems that
the queen reconsidered her objections to
President Clevelands conditions. and
that Minister Willis has proceeded on
the line Of his original Instructions noti
Tying the provisional government that
they are expected to retire and allow the
restoration nf the queen. Nothing can
be learned as Ia the extent of the dis
turbauce caused by tins action. but that
there is a condition u tension and great
excitement m Honolulu rs certain
There ~ no doubt all concerned feel
that this latest phase Of the Hawaiian
imbrngliO involves very serious conse
quences. II does not appear that there
Is any disposition on the part Of the pro
yisioral government to yield peacefully,
and there is no apprehension that Willis
will resort to force His instructions are
explicitly against such a course. The
state department feels that be acted
with bad judgment in attempting 10

different conditions

is ground for fearing that an outbreak
may occur.
NAVAL ACTIVITY.
San FRANCISCO, Jan. 1T is reported
tonight from Mare Island that the Mo
hican has been under steam all day. and
there was unusual hustle aboard tonight.
Notwithstanding the denials from Wash
ington. il is believed the cruiser is to be
dispatched for Honolulu within a few
hours. No one in authority at Mare
island, however, will reveal anything as
TO the vessels suture.
FURTHER CONFIRMATION.
Capt. Munger Of the Corwin has at
last been interviewed. To an Examiner
reporter tonight he said the Associated
Press Auckland dispatch, which stated
that Minister Willis had made formal
demand for the surrender Of the provis-
ional government, was true. Beyond that
Munger would say DO moe.
