HONOLULU. Jan. 1a.-Since the sailing Of
the last steamer affairs political have been
drug IN Honolulu. The government is
pursuing waiting policy on the ground
that no definite action can be taken hero
until some definite policy regarding
Hawaii is announced by The United States.
The candidacy Of Walter G. Smith. editor
OF the Star. 10 fill the vacancy to be ere
ated upon the return Of Hon. F. NJ. Hatch,
who will resign TO accept the posi-
iion of minister of foreign affairs,
still holds prominent place in
Hawaiian politics. The objection
urged to Hatch was that he was a
representative of the sugar corporations
Both Minister Willis and Consul General
Mills appear to be sore on account OF the
treatment of the United States govern
ment in Hawaii. as well as on account of
the personal snubbing they claim the
American residents here have borne tow
ard them lately. The government is de-
termined to celebrate the 18th Of January
as a national holiday, and preparations
nre being made to carry out big demon
stration, which will include military dis
play in the afternoon and q torchlight pro-
cession and fireworks at night. Both the
American League and the Annexation
club will take part, as will the new Ger
man political organization to be organized
in favor of annexation.
The question of n republic still occupies
attention. but the government delays ac-
tion, awaiting an absolute rejection
OF Hawaii's hopes by the United States
congress. Rumors of an expected roy.
alistt uprising are prevalent. Recently
in an interview with Marshal Hitchcock
that officer said: "The government is
fully prepared to meet any outbreak,
either here or on the other islands. The
royalists have threatened so long that the
royal standard will be raised on one of
the other islands that we are prepared
thoroughly TO squelch any uprising that
may be made, either through irresponsi.
BILE persons or through the influence of the
spreckels-Cornwali faction" The mar
shall also said: .The royallsts have also
sent several lobbyists to the United States
lately, and understand that Hon. c. W.
Ashford goes by the Monowai to-
day to appear before committee
Of congress at the present session.
Ashford was preceded by Hon. z. c. Mac
Farlane and Arthur Peterson. accompa-
MED by Sam Parker, for the avowed pur-
pose of enlisting Claus Spreckles in q
lobby campaign in favor of restoration. "

just previous To the sailing OF the Mo-
nowai a sensational rumor was current,
which has been traced TO an authoritative
source. A few days after President Dole's
reply was delivered TO Minister Willis,
and before the full details of Willis de-
mand and Dole's reply became public.
Willis called upon Dole and endeavored
to persuade him to return all his willis
correspondence on tho subject of
restoration and eSpunge from the
records Doie's reply and everything
else pertaining to the subject, and main

transaction. Dole fatty refused to enter
into such plan. and, IL is said, Willis
then attempted to force Dole to act ac'
cording TO his wishes and threatened "a
