JAPAN NOT IN 1T.
In an interview on the 2Sth, Hawaiian
Minister Irwin of Toxic, asserts positively
that Japan has not the slightest idea of
seeking control in Hawaii. He has lived IN
Japan twenty years, has japanese wife ana
has long been intimate with several Leading
| japanese statesmen. As to the intimatlons
by Sir Edwin Arnold that Japan coveted
Hawaii he derides Arnold as Ignorant OF
Japan, having spent his time there IN gross
debauchery.
By the arrivals of the Oceanic and Aus
tralian, news came of Congressional pro-
ceedings encouraging to the Government
and refreshing to the Royalists. The chief
sensation was produced by the pubilshed
instructions to Willis, which make it certain
that during the week of fear in Honolulu,
from the 14th to the 22nd, when fighting
with the naval forces of the United States
was almost daily felt to be imminent, ne
had in fact, no power to use those forces
MORE CORRESPONDENTS
A brief correspondence took place between
President Dole and Minister Willis after the
sailing of the Corwin. Dole called W1lilss
attention to the continued state of apprehen-
sion in the community caused by his appar-
emily menacing attitude, and asked II ne
could not give him some assurance which
would relieve this fear.
Mr.. Willis replied that the enquiry did
not seem to be specific. Dole answered on
the 9th that the Presidents message re-

the decision of the whole business, relieved
the public mind and had obviated the need
of further enquiry.
Mr.. Willis has expressed much irritation
about Doles making the above inquiry.
DOLE is SICK.
President Dole is suffering somewhat from
the reaction from the recent excitement, and
tension and labor of preparing the reply to
ellis demand, the full text of which is
promised the public before the sixth.
Minister Thurston will return to Washing
ton at once, where his services will be much
needed
While Willis menacing attitude has crt off
sales of bonds, the treasury has been amply
replenished by tax collections, and the avail
able cash increased from $143, $50. 81 to $212,
342.67 during the week ending Decem-
Der 9th.
The Warrimoo lay at Honolulu December
81 and January l. While there, beyond the
sight of few Provisional government SOL
diers parading the streets, there was nothing
to indicate that the country was in the midst
of political crisis upon the outcome OF
which rests its future.
The Warrimoo brought no passengers from
Hawaii. B. Thompson of the British Com
missioners of Fiji was a passenger. He
said to United Press reporter
s'My stay was very short, and my inves-
tigation into the situation necessarily very
superficial. The Professionals OF An
nexationists evidently taking cue, now
advance the claim that their government
is a fully organized, properly consti-
tuted one, and any act of the United
States towards restoration will be an act
against recognized power. Not the faintest
doubt exists that the vote of the people will
overthrow it. The Provisional soldiers are
paid $40 a month, and while lucrative
Salaries are paid, the ranks always will be
full. The natives are inactive, and do not
wonder at it. They are given all sorts OF
reports and doubt if they appreciate the
true situation. They are held in check nc
doubt by the presence of the American,
Japanese and British men-of-war in the har-
Dor. The landing of United States marines
at the time of the overthrow had its effects
on them.
