Honolulu, Jan. 12.-Since the sailing
OF the laet steamer, affairs political have
been drug in Honolulu. The govern
ment has been pursuing waiting pol
icy, on the ground that no definite
action can be taken here until some
definite policy regarding Hawaii has
been announced by the United States.
RoYALIsT LOBBYISTS.
In an interview with the marshal this
morning several important facts we're
learned. Among these was the state
ment that the Royalists were ready to
assume the offensive upon news from
the coast. Said tine marshal: "The
Royalists have sent several lobbyists to
the coast lately, and understand that
Hon. O. W. Ashford goes by the Mono
wal today to appear before committee
OF congress at the present session. Ash
ford WAS preceded by Hon. E. @. Mac
Farlane and Arthur Peterson, accom-
panied by Hon. Sam Parker, for the
avowed purpose OF enlisting Claus
Spreckels in lobby campaign in favor
OF restoration. l believe that Ashford
now goes as the agent of the Patriotic
league, native organization"
THE QUEENS VAIN HOPES.
Fred Haysilden, prominent Royalist
and son-in-law of Walter M. Gibson,
arrived in town few days ago. He left
again today for the island of Lanai,
which he owns. While here he said I:
"The queen will be restored. OF this
we have positive assurance, and her
majesty fully believes in her speedy
restoration. l saw her yesterday, and
she assured me it was only matter of
few weeks. Gould we see way out
whereby the control Of political patron-
| age could be secured through q republic
we should not hesitate to back it, il we
we're assured that the missionaries
would not be allowed to control affairs
upon it's establishment. While we are
not over loyal" concluded Mr.. Haysli-
den. ''we are all deadly anti-mission-
ary."
EDITOR SMITHS CANDIDACY.
The candidacy of Walter Il. Smith,
editor of the Star, to fill the vacancy to
be created upon the return OF Hon. +.
| NJ. Hatch, who will resign to accept the
position of minister of foreign affairs.
still holds q prominent place in Hawaii
an politics. Objections are urged to
Hatch as the representative OF the sugar
corporations aud attorney for Claus
| Spreckels.
The old missionary element is SEEM
| ingly determined to retain all the
power they can under the new govern
ment. while the new progressive polit-
ical forces, which at present seem to
have the backing of the majority OF the
cabinet, insist upon putting Editor
Smith into the advisory council. 1t is
| thought this will be ultimately accom-
plished.
USE OF FORCE PROMISED.
An interview held with an intimate
friend of the Garter family discoses the
fact that j. 0. Carter, prominent
Royalist and go-between in the recent
negotiations between Minister Willis
and that lady, declared that Willis had
received verbal instructions to use force
in the restoration of the ex-queen if
necessary, and that gentleman expressed
| great surprise to his nephew, after the
departure of the United States steam
chip Corwin, that euch force had not
| been used. 1t is said that j. o. Carter
claims the Royalists had positive assur-
ances that force would be used if neces-
sary, but that for come reason their
hopes were delayed by Willis action.
WILLIS AND MILLS sNUBBED.
Attempted interviews with both Min
lister Willis and Consul General Mills
have been refuaed, though it is plainly
evident that both gentlemen are disap-
pointed at the reception of Cleveland'a a
policy in Hawaii, as we'll as the personal
| snubbing they claim the American resi-
dents here have given them lately.
The government has determined to
celebrate the 18th of January, the frst
anniversary of the revolution, as q ma
tional holiday.
The question of republic etill occu-
pies attention, but the government de-
lays action, awaiting the absolute reiec
tion of Hawaii's hopes by the United
States congress. This, it is not antici-
pated will happen.
A SENSATIONAL RUM0R.
just previous to the sailing of the
Monowai, a sensational rumor was cur
rent, which was traced to an authorita-
i. live eouico, tHhb u low udy6 AFTER fT6BIs
dent Dole's reply was delivered to Min
lister 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 ali of his (Willis) correspondence
on the subject of restoration, eSd 10
expunge from the records Dole's .aply
and everything else pertaining to the
subject, and to maintain absolute
secrecy about the whole transaction.
Dole fatty refused to enter into suci,
plan, and it is said that Willis then
attempted to force Dole to act according
to his wishes and threatened to take the
American men-ofwar out OF the harbor
and practically to break off diplomatic
relationa between the United States and
Hawaii Dole stiil refused to entertain
/ the project and Willis alleged attempt
