rumor was current which was traced to
an authoritative source. that few days
after President Dole's reply was delivered
to Minister Willis. and before full details
of Willis demand and Dole's reply had
become public, Willis called upon Dole
and endeavored to persuade him to return
all of bis (WillisO correspondence on the
subject of the restoration and to expunge
from the records Dole's reply and every
thing else pertaining to the subject and to
maintain absolute secrecy about the whole
transaction. Dole fatty refused to enter
into such plan, and it is said that Willis
then attempted TO force Dole to act accord
ing to his wishes, and threatened TO take
American men-of-war out of the harbor
and practically to break off diplomatic
relations between the United States and
Hawaii. Dole still refused to enter into
the project. and Willis alleged attempts TO
nullify his restoration policy failed.
The Government has been pursuing
waiting policy on the ground that no
definite action can be taken here until
some definite policy regarding Hawaii has
been announced by the United States.
In an interview with the Marshal this
morning several important facts were
learned. Among these was the statement
that the rOyalsts were ready to assume
the often sive upon news from the coast.
The day before yesterday prominent
royalist stated TO one of the Government
detectives that the royaists had been
informed by news received nv the
schooner Transit directly from Washing
ton that the United States steamer Rush
is expected here tomorrow, or by the Is il
at the latest, with instructions to Minister
Willis TO replace the ex-Queen by force
The Marshal called at once on the
American Minister and asked him If he
was in receipt of any news by the Transit.
He replied: 81 have received no news
thus far, and the information you give me
is the first lntimation have had as TO the
future actions of the United States Gov
eminent"
When questioned further the Marshal
said: well, my information comes direct
from royalist sources which have been so
correct in the past that the Government is
loath 10 doubt its correctness in the present
instance"

emergency in case it comes?"
YES" said the Marshal, ''the Govern
ment is fully prepared to meet any out
SIS any trouble expected on the other
islands?"
"Well, yes and no." said the Marshal.
CTS this way. The royalists have threat
ened so long that the royal standard would
be raised on one Of the other islands that
we have prepared to thoroughly squelch
any uprising that may be made either
through irresponsible persons or through

again." said the Marshal. You see, it is
doubtful and IT'S not TIE royeIists have
sent several lobbyists TO the Coast lately,
and / understand that Hon. c. W. Ash
ford goes by the Monowai to-day to ap-
pear before the Foreign Affairs COM
mittees of Congress at the present session.
Ashford was preceded by Hon. E. c. Mac

by Hon. Sam Parker, for the avowed pur-
pose of enlsting Claus Spreckels in the
lobby campaign in favor of restoration
l believe that Ashford now goes as the
agent of the Patriotic League, a native
organization. which he hopes to control
against the 'kickers' in the royalist party,
who lately presented a new Cabinet TO the
ex-Queen, with j. o. Carter at its head.
This Cabinet. which the conservative ele-
ment Of the r0yalist party hoped would be
adopted in the case of restoration. was
absolutely rejected by the ex-Queen, who
at the time expressed the wish to rule
alone. as promised her by Cleveland, or
not at ALL"
Fred Hayselden, q prominent royalist
and son-in-law Of Walter NJ. GIBBS on, ar
rived in town few days ago. He left
again to-day for the island of Lomai,
which be owns. While here he said:
The Queen will be restored Of this
we have positive assurance. and Ter
Majesty fully believes in her speedy res
toration. l saw her yesterday, and she
assured me it was only matter Of few
weeks. Could we see the way out whereby
the control Of political patronage could be
secured through republic we should not
hesitate to back it if we were assured that
the missionaries would not be allowed TO
control affairs upon its establishment

Mr.. Hayselden, I'VE are all deadly anti

Mr.. HayseIden, "spies were noticed around
Washington place in citizens clothes. The
captain of the Queens guard called at once
on British Minister Wodehouse, who lives
across the street. He came to the side
walk and verified the fact. The British
Minister at once notified United States
Minister Willis and the Provisional Gov
eminent. The latter disclaimed any
knowledge of men being stationed there.
The Queen affirms," concluded Mr.. Hay
seldep, that her guards have since seen
spies IN the grounds of the convent adjoiu-

The candidacy of Walter G. Smith,
editor Of the Star. to fill the vacancy to be
created upon the return of Hon. T. NJ.
Hatch. who will resign to accept the posi-
ton OF Minister of Foreign Affairs, still
holds a prominent place in Hawaiian
politics. Objections are urged to Hatch as
representative of the sugar plantations
and attorney for Claus Spreckels

conservative elements of the annexation
