THE VIEW OF THE PRESS.
The story Told by a New York News
paper.

New York, Jan. S.-The Press says
the key to the Hawaiian riddle comes
in a private letter dated Honolulu,
December IA, ten days before the de-
parture of the Corwin. The letter is
from Dr. NJ. E. Grossman. of Honolulu.
Enclosing a memorandum from one of
the petty officers on board the British
gunboat Champion now at Honolulu.
DR.. Grossman, writes that on Decem-
Der the Champion left Honolulu for
the ostensible purpose of going to the
island Maui, and having shell practice
She left Honolulu but did not go to
Maui. Instead she steamed a couple
of hours up and down in front of Homo
lulu harbor the crew all the time
going through gun drill and taking
sights on all the provisional govern
ment buildings where the troops are
stationed, ammunition stored and
public offices established. The Cham
pion then steamed a little further out
and had some shell practice, return
ing to the harbor late in the day.
but no men from either the British or
United States ships were allowed to
go on shore. The memorandum from
on board the British gunboat, which
DR.. Grossman encloses, is as follows:
Her majesty's ship Champion is pre-
pairing to hoist the British ensign over
Hawaii. Tuesday, December Z, when
off shore, she had gun drill and sight
ing on the buildings where the pro-
visional government troops are sta
toned, and ammunition stores and on
police headquarters. 1t is the inten-
stored by the United States troops, and
they may retire, the queen is to ap-
peal to the British minister, Major
Woodhouse, for protection.
The English flag is to be hoisted
and a protectorate declared over
Hawaii. Troops from the Champion
will be landed under the protection of
the British guns, Crossman writes
such a plan should not be a surprise
to anybody, because it is quite in ac-
cord with all the previous ideas of
British seizure and neither more or
less than the execution of ideas for
many years cultivated by the British
interests. 1t is well known Theophilis
II. Davies has been intriguing for up
q result and it is evident that subSe-
quent to the queens first refusal to
Willis to submit to restoration to the
throne, unless obtained by the force
of American arms, her British friends
had been advising her to accept Willis
proposal, and thus gain restoration
by the power Of the United States
diplomacy and arms, and after which,
the provisional government being out
she could promptly apply to Great
Britain for support and turn the is
lands and dependencies over to Great
Britain. This could not be regarded
in the light of an affront to the United
States by Great Britain, because Presi-
dent Cleveland had for the United
States Withdrawn the treaty and re-
jected all overtures looking to annexa-
ton.

THE MEETING HELD.
Willis Made known the Ideas of the
Government.

Honolulu, via Victoria, B. c., JAMS
copyright, 1894, by the Associated
Press. l-Since the Corwin sailed on De-
cember "a, no advices have left here
for the east The Corwin took press
dispatches, against orders, though, of
the United States legation, but it is
doubtful if all the dispatches are
landed, as it is understood a strict
watch would be placed on the Corwin
on her arrival at San Francisco. APP
plication made by the Associated Press
for permission to forward dispatches
by the Corwin was brusquely refused
and the dispatches only smuggled
through by secret arrangement with
parties on board. The Corwin carried
stenographic report Of the proceed
ingS Of the meetings where Willis made
a formal demand on the provisional
government to surrender to the queen.
There were present at the meeting:
President Dole, Damon, minister of
finance; King, minister Of interior:
Smith, encouragement, and Minister
Willis. The demand OF Willis was
prefaced by remarks giving the assur-
ance of President Cleveland's regard
for the interest and safety of all the
people of Hawaii, and stated the presi-
dents action had been under the die
ldlCS VI uOIOI ana duty, absolutely
free from all resentment and preir-
dice and was entirely consistent with
the long Established friendship and
treaty ties.
Upon the facts embodied in Blount's
report the president had decided upon
a certain course Of action which it be-
comes my duty to acquaint you with.
The provisional government was not
established by the Hawaiian people
nor with their consent nor with their
acQuiescence nor has it since existed
with their consent. Willis added that
the queen finally yielded to the armed
forces of the United States, relying
on the good faith and honor of the
president to reinstate her The presi-
dent was satisfied from Blount's reports
that the movement against the queen
was, il not instiga ted, encouraged and
supported by the United States min
lister, and the new government SET
up by the aid of the forces of the
United States. The president had
therefore, decided to withdraw the an
nexation treaty. Willis stated he had
secured the queens agreement to the
amnesty. requirements insisted upon by
the president and delivered a certified
copy of this agreement to the members
of the provisional government.
The queens agreement recites that.
desiring TO put aside all feelings of per-
sonal hatred OF revenge, and do what
is best for all the people. she pledges
herself, if reinstated, to Immediately
declare unconditional amnesty and par
don for all who participated in the
revolution of January IT. with the res
toration Of all rights, privileges and

stored, to assume all the obligations

tempted to enter Corbett's room at
Mayport. The champion was aroused
from his slumber by noise at the
window, and springing from his bed
found some person had broken open the
blinds and was attempting to raise the
window sash. Corbett seized a pistol
and rushed to the door. when he saw
a person in the act of leaving the house
about ten yeards from him. Corhetf
fired several times, but he does NOT
think any shots took effect. The sound
of the shooting alarmed the household

Defy the Governor.
Jacksonville, Jan. S.-The Iong-looked-
for statement of the DuvaI club was
issued tonight as follows:
Attorney General Larnar speaking
for himself and also for the governor.
having said in letter to the Inter
Ocean, Of Chicago that the Corbett-
Mitchell contest will not take place in
Florida, it is proper we inform the
public that neither the attorney-gen-
eral nor the governor possesses any
Judicial power, and to add that the
state officers, acting under the direc-
ton of the executive, have refused to
allow any judicial determination bv
the court of the law which it is claimed
the contest will violate, and to that
end have caused a prosecution, origi-
mated for the purpose Of testing the
law, to be dismissed, and further, the
executive Of the state, possessing con-
ventional prerogative of asking an
opinion of the highest judicial tribunal
of the state as to the construction Of
the statute, has declined to do so: the
public is hereby assured the contest
will take place as advertised; that no
plans have been formed or steps taken.
and none will be taken by either the
governor or the encouragement to
stop the contest and that tickets can
be bought with the confidence the con-
test will take place under the condi-
tons named.
