 Was Simply waiting-The Provisional
 Government Was Asked to Resign at
 Once and Was Told That LilIuokalani

 Reign With Justice-The Meeting Be-
 tween Minister Willis and the Hawaiian
 Ministry.
 VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 9-The Canadian Pacific steamer Warrimoo has arrived, bringing Honolulu advices to Jan. 1. Most intense excitement prevailed throughout Honolulu until the arrival of the revenue cutter Corwin. After that Minister Willis made his demand upon President Dole to surrender his government to the deposed queen. Tine government promptly refus- ed, and Minister Willis took no further step to enforce compliance with his order. The excitement then rapidly subsided, and for week before the sailing of the Warri- moo there was perfect tranquility. It is now thought that the crisis has passed.
 The following dispatch from Honolulu is dated Jan. l: Since the sailing of the United States revenue cutter Corwin on the morning of Dec. -24 no advices have left here for the coast. The vessel took press dispatches against the orders of the United States legation, but it is doubtful if all of them are landed, as it is understood that strict watch will be placed on the vessel as soon as she arrives near the harbor and that she will likely be ordered at once on cruise.
 MT. Willis Demand.
 Application was made for permission to forward dispatches by the Corwin. This was in each case brusquely refused, and dispatches were only put aboard afterward through the courtesy of those who shall be nameless The Corwin took the demand of Minister Willis upon the provisional government to step down and out, which was couched in the following words:
 MIR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN-The president of the United States has very much regretted the delay in the considera- tion of the Hawaiian question, but it is un- avoidable. So much of it as has occurred since my arrival has been due to certain conditions precedent, compliance with which was required before I was author iZed to confer with you. The president also regrets, as most assuredly do I, that any secrecy should have surrounded the in- terchange of views between our two gov ernments. I may say, however, that the secrecy thus far observed has been in the interest and for the safety of all your peo- pie. 1 need hardly promise that the presi- dents action upon the Hawaiian question has been under the dictates of honor and of duty.
 Tt is now and has been from the begin ming absolutely free from prejudice and re- sentiment and entirely consistent with long established friendship and treaty ties, which have so closely bound together our respective governments.
 The president deemed it his duty to withdraw from the senate the treaty of an neXation which was signed by the secre- tary of state and agents of your govern ment, and to dispatch trusty representa- tive to Hawaii to impartially investigate the causes of your revolution and to ascer- tain and report the true situation in these islands. This information was needed the better to enable the president to dis charge a delicate and important duty Upon the facts embodied in Mir. Blount's report the president has arrived at certain conclusions and determined upon a certain course of action, which it becomes my duty to acquaint you with. The provisional government was not established by the Hawaiian people nor with their consent, nor has it since existed with their consent"
 MT. Willis then went on to recite the view which the president had taken of the matter. He stated that Queen Liliuoka- lani had been told that she would be ex- pected to grant general amnesty. Mr. Willis continued:
