San Francisco. Jan. 19.-The steamer
Nonowai arrived from Sydney, Auck-
land and Samoa, via Honolulu, la'e
this afternoon. She brings fuA Ha-
waaian advices to the Associated
Press a, week later than the previous
advices.
Honolulu, Jan. l2.-LCopyright by
Associated Press, S94.l-Since the
sailing of the last steamer, attalrs
political have been a drug in Honolulu.
The government is pursuing a waiting
policy on the ground that no DEFINITE
action can be taken here until some
definite policy regarding Hawaii is an
nounced by the United States.
The candidacy OF Walter G. Smith,
editor of the Star to fill the vacancy
to be created upon the return OF Hon.
F NJ. Hatch, who will resign TO accept
the position Of minister OF foreign al
fairs, still holds a, prominent place IN
Hawaiian politics. The op1ectlon
urged to Hatch was the report that he
was in the sugar corporations and is
the attorney Tor Claus Spreckels-
Both Minister Willis and Consul
General Mills appear to be sore on
account of the treatment of the United
States government in Hawaii, as well
as on account of the personal snub-
bling they claim the American resi-
dents here have borne toward them
lately
The government is determined to
celebrate the 18th Of January as q
rational holiday and preparations are
being made to carry out a big demon
stration, which will include a military
display in the afternoon and a torch
light procession and fireworks at
night Both the American league and
the Annexation club will take part, as
will the new German political organ
ization to be organized in favor Of an
aeNation. The question of a. republic
still occupies attention, but the gov
eminent delays action, awaiting the
absolute rejection of HawaM's hopes
by the United States Congress. Ru-
nors of an expected royalist uprising
were prevalent recently. In an inter
view with Marshal Hitchcock. that
officer said: 1.-The government is fully
prepared to meet any outbreak, either
here or on the other islands. The roy
alists have threatened so long that
TIE royal standard would be raised on
one or the other of the islands, that
we are prepared to thoroughly squelch
any uprising that may be made, either
through irresponsible persons or
through the influence of Spreckeis."
The marshal also said: The royal
lists have sent several lobbyists to the
United States lately, and l understand
that Hon. C. w. Ashford goes by the
Monowai today to appear before the
committee of Congress at the present
session Ashford was preceded by Hon.
Z. c. MacFarlane and Arthur Peter
son, accompanied by Sam Parker, for
the purpose of enlisting Claus Spreck-
els in the lobby of a campaign in favor
of restoration"
The showing of the finance depart
ment since the taxes began to come in
on Dec. 15 continues to improve. The
cash balance yesterday was over S27S,-
600 and the minister of finance announ-
ceS that all expenses of the government
to Dec. 1. 1898, have been paid, together
witt, all the official salaries and pay
rolls to Jan. l, 1894.
Just previous to the sailing of the
Monawai a sensational rumor was cur
rent which was traced to an authorize
tive source. A few days after Presi-
dent Dole's reply was delivered to
Minister Willis, and before the full de-
tails of Willis demand and Dole's re-
ply had become public, Willis called
upon Dole and endeavored to persuade
him to return all his (WillisO CORES
pondence on the subject of reStora ton
and expunge from the records Dole's
reply and everything else pertaining
to the subject and maintain an abso-
lutte secrecy about the whole transac-
ton. Dole fatty refused to enter into
such plan and it is said Willis then
attempted to force Dole to act, ac-
cording to his wishes and threatened
to take the American men-of-war out
of the harbor and practically break off
diplomatic relations between the
United States and Hawaii Dole still
refused to enter into the project and
Willis alleged attempt to nullify his
restoration policy failed.
