ViZZavona. France Admiral Irwin re-
| piled that under instructions from Minister
Willis he could not attend officially. but
placed no restrictions on his officers at
| tending unoficially. which many of them
did. Shortly after the celebration Presi-
dent Dole addressed note TO each of the
diplomats who had ignored his invitation
| asking them if it had been received. All
of them have now answered.
The Government feels that the ans wers
of Messrs. Full and Canavarro are as sat-
isfactory as could be expected at so late a
day. These gentlemen seem to earnestly
regret that they failed to answer at once
and to take part in the celebration.
Messrs. Wodehouse and Vizzavona take
refuge in the vague explanation that they
were guided by the aspect of existing cir
cumstances.
All of the offending diplomats recognized
the Provisional Government in official
| communications to it January IS and 10,
1893. 1t is believed that with perhaps
two exceptions, the foreign representa-
tives would act differently upon another
like occasion.
The feeling against both Minister Willis
and Consu-General Mills is intense, and
were it not for the fact that the PrOvi-
sionaf Government can now afford to
quietly ignore both of them they would
probably both be on the steamer which
carries this letter. The business of the
ConsuPs office is attended to during the
Vice-ConsuPs absence by III. N. Severance,
| the predecessor of Mills.
The irrepressibie Paul Neumann has
again bobbed up to the surface and got
himself talked about In the newspapers
| from his unsuccessful attempt to admins
ter thrashing with cane to Henry n.
Castle. the editor of the Advertiser. The
trouble arose over some editorial criticisms
| on the Willis interview and Neumann's
subsequent repudation OF the whole busi-
ness.
| President Dole is receiving hundreds of
| letters from the United States offering
| sympathy, encouragement and material
aid.
| President Dole. who has been somewhat
under the weather since he prepared his
| now famous answer tn Willis demand for
the surrender of the Provisional Govern
ment, has been taking things easy since.
and the heavy strain and responsibility
resting upon him having been removed he
has now almost recovered. he presided
at the weekly meeting of the councils on
| Thursday last for the first time in several
weeks. Some important business was
| transacted. Minister Damon announced
| that owing to the wishes of the American
| League and Annexation clubs as expressed
| in resolutions sent TO the councils. an
arrangement had been made by which J.
| W. Girvin would not receive the position
of Secretary of the Postt flee Department.
| This announcement was greeted with loud
| applause by the members. Grvin was
Hawaiian Consul at San Diego and came
| here at the instance of the Attorney Gen
eral, of whom he is a friend and protege,
to accept the PostO flee job now held by
Toyalist. The political clubs above named
protested strongly against importing out
siderS to fill Government positions. and
| Mr.. Girqin goes back TO San Diego in
consequence.
According to Minister Damon's finance
| report on February the available cash
resources OF the Government was S349. 900,
after paying the salaries and expenses of
| the Government for January, which
amounted to S1o40 900. A year ago, or two
weeks after Liliuokalani's deihronement,
the Government had only some S65, 900 at
| its command.
| After conversation with many royal
lists il is believed that they have given up
the fight against the annexationists.
| The American League has ad dopred
resolutions defining its position and ex-
planning the present situation on the
| islands.
| The steamer C. r. Bishop ran ashore
about three miles from Nawiliwili on the
island of Kauai on the 31st, and is report
| ed to be total wreck. The Bishop was
| built in Port Blakeley. Puget Sound. by
| Hall Brothers, in August. 1880. and brought
here by Captain Melander, now of the
schooner Tulenkun. She has Deen con-
tinually in use and has had several thou
sand dollars spent on her lately for repairs
| and general overhauling. Last year she
was sent in search of the wrecked Lady
| Lampson, and had a cruise to Fannings
and Laysans islands.
| The scbooners Alice Cooke and Robert
Levers started on a race for San Francisco
| to-day, the Levers with 1894 tons of sugar
| and the Cooke with 1892 tons of sugar.
| Both sailed out Of the harbor. The vessel
arriving In San Francisco first will load
| merchandise in that port for Honolulu,
while the other will leave. when unioaded,
for Australia to bring coal to this port.
