Victoria, B. c.. Jan. 9.-The steamer
Warimoo, which arrived last night,
brought advices from Honolulu under date
of Jan. /.
On Dec 10 Minister Willis demanded of
the provisional government that>it sur
render TO the queen. President Dole re-
p]ied refusing to consider this demand.
The government is keeping the answer
of President Dole to Minister Willis de-
mands a secret until it shall have had
time to reach the President The follow
ing summary, however, has been obtained
from good authority: President Dole be-
gins by noting that this is the first Of
fetal communication his government has
had iutimating in any way the policy of
President Cleveland towards Hawaii BY
no action of this government has any mat
ter connected with the late revolution
been submitted to the authority of the
United States. This is carefully argued
No ointimation has ever been made to the
provisional government of anything hav-
ing been done or considered in the prem
ises until the alleged conclusion of the
President now presented by Minister
Willis.
A AREsUME.
An exhaustive resume is given of the
series Of political struggles leading up to
the revolution, including the acts of King
kalakaua before 1887, and his obstructing
and debating legislation by filling the leg
islature with otticeholders. A climax was
reached in the opium scandal, when King
Kalakaua took a bribe of 81 900, pre-
viously prepared for the legislature. The
citizens then united to overthrow the
monarchy. This was averted by submis-
sion to a new constitution which took
most of his arbitrary power away.
Thence on till his death he con-
stantly chafed and sought to
evade these restrictions. The inside
history of his attempted revolution of
1889 is then recited, and of Queen Liliu-
Okalani's participation therein. The op-
position then shown by her to the rights
and interests Of foreigners was, after her
ascending to the throne, constantly en-
phasiged. 1t became violent during the
latter part of 1892, as shown by her per-
verse appointments of our cabinets in op-
position to the will of the legislature.
The events of the last week of her reign
are recited, the resuscitation Of the de-
1unct lottery bill, and the removal of the
Wilcox cabinet all through the queens
personal influence.
LANDING OF THE MARINES.
President Dole recites the tried coup
etat action of theucommittee of safety.
and two mass meetings Of foreigners and
natives. The committee deemed the
presence of the American forces necessary
for the protection of life and property,
and requested Minister Stevens to land
Them. President Dole denounces in
strongest terms as a falsehood that Min
iSter Stevens was ever asked to have his
forces assist in the revolution, or that he
ever dld So The government disClaims
having ever authorized Mr. Damon or any
otner persons to make terms for
ine queens surrender, and denies that
ne ever reported or was asked to report
such terms. Mr.. Damon made those
terms on his own responsibility. Never
UeIOfe or since the revolution did the
members of the committee of safety con
Ier with Minister Stevens about the over
tHTOW OF the government. The prOyiS-
IohdI government is responsible only to
tAoSe who constituted and are now main
ealhlng 1t in power. 1t is amenable to no
iOrelgn power on earth. 1t has always
oeen faithful to its constituents and by
no acts or intima tiOn has ever offered to
submit its rights to the United States or
any other power. For these reasons, this
government must refuse to consider the
proposition of Minister Willis
- no aIuslon is made by President
Dole to Minister Willis appeals
10 their patriotism and moral sense,
nor TO the terms OF amnesty
secured from the ex-queen. Min
washington where his services will be
much needed.
THE MEETING WITH WILLIS.
Additional Honolulu advices received
Uy Ihe United Press, per steamer War
f'noo, in referring to the meeting of Min
Ister Willis with the provisional govern
menu, say that President Dole summoned
Cue advisory council to meet the
executive at o'clock on Dec. 49,
Inc Inc nature of Mr. Willis communi-
Cduon remained unknown to the public.
Gltnough they had no doubt of its tenor.
Az clock, the mem bers of the council
Idue known the fact of the demand for
one queens restoration, and that the
general tenor of the reply had been agreed
IpoH' and that it was to be prepared with
ueIoeratlon. Many questions were asked
ana lew answered. 1t was very uoticea-
.Le gLe mat no one was heard to ask whether
g1Ie SIe government would refuse or not.
iInat went without saying 1t was
earned that no intimation was given
whether the military or naval force
would be employed to enforce the de-
ndhds. The general sense of relief was
tFaanIIest that the new minister had been
t1rced out of his concealment and that
te tue meaning Of his equivocal expressions
'Or Vhe past six weeks are now plain.
PREPARED FOR SIEGE.
On the 2lst some 200 gallons of water
were stored in iron tanks in the judiciary
