the belligerent status of the insurgents on
the ground that the Provisional Govern
ment is not of sufficient standing.

MORE AFFIDAVITS.
The Provisional Government VIII
Submit More Testimony,

P. c. Jones. formerly Minister of FL
anee under Queen Liliuokalani, and who
held the same position under the Pro-
visional Government of Hawaii during the
first months of its existence arrived in the
city yesterday. MIR. Jones is on his way
home, The contradictory news secured
making him anxious to be with the men,
bers of his family who are in Honolulu.
81 cannot understand the Corwin mys-
terry" said Mr.. Jones yesterday, there
must be some truth in that dispatch from
Auckland. l know the Associated Press
correspondent at Honolulu is a reliable
man, and the news is just what l ex-
pecEed. But why Captain Munger of the
Corwin should act in the manner in which
he is doing puzzles me. 1t seems To me
TO substantiate that dispatch.
II was trea ted with the utmost courtesy
By the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
when l was before it. l made my state
ment, and then Senator Gray, who has the
reputation of being the Presidents right
hand man eross-questioned me. There
was no attempt at buliy-ragging or mix
ing me up. The committee seemed to be
desirous Of getting g the truth of matters,
and everything was conducted In a high
toned gentlemanly way.
''W hen l return to Honolulu shall ad-
wise that fresh lot of affidayits be pre-
pared and forwarded to Washin gton.
Those | took on have shown the misrepre-
sen tatiOns in Blount's reports Their ef-
feet will be cumulative as the entire
ground was well covered in the first
batch"
Mr.. Jones is satisfied that if Willis has
| obeyed Gresham's instructions and re-
placed the Queen on the throne, she will
not be able TO hold her place over an hour
once the support of the United States
Government is Withdrawn.
THE royaIists are a renegade and dis
reputable lot" Mr.. Jones remarked,
hardly worth the name of men. The
men of the country want a good Govern
ment and are satisfied that the Provisiona al
Government can and will give it,

the story is true. and that mis- official posi-
ton did not permit him to say more. He
refused to say whether or not there had
been trouble in Honolulu.
The administration continues to pre-
serve absolute silence with regard to the
whole affair, Secretary Gresham positively
declining to discuss any of its details.
Public men OF both parties are satisfied
that the advices from Willis which were
brought on the Corwin contain not only a
full confirmation of the report as to de-
msnd made upon President Dole and his
colleagues, but full text Of the refusal of
the Provisional Government to step down
and out.
The fact that full press advIces will be
received on Tuesday may possibly be the
basis OF the persistent rumor current to-
night that the President is preparing
special message to Congress to be sent IN
tomorrow. advising the House and Senate
Of the action taken by Willis.
No cOu frmaton of this rumor could be
obtained, but 1t was learned that SecretarA
Gresham and the President had confer
ence to-day in which the Hawaiian matter
was discussed,

Aztec indians to Fight Against the
Mexican Government.

NoGALEs. Ariz., Jan. TIT is stated the
Aztec Indians intend TO Join the Yaquis in
the hight against the Mexican Government.
The prisoners captured by Iecopa have
said they are Aztec. but this is not be-
lieved. AS general thing the Aztecs are
far above the average in point of culture of
the ordinary civilization of Sonora. Most
of them speak and write English as we'll
as Spanish. They say they school their
children in houses Independent of the
Mexican Government. An impression has
long existed that the Aztecs are in sympa-
thy with the Yaquis. but strange to say
none have ever been found in the soldiery.

donca has received from Flint & Co.,
Brazilian agents in New York, informa-
tiOn that the cruisers Riachuelo and Ben
jamin Constant. which have been so long
fitting out at TouloD, are ready for sea,
and will sail Immediately. Mendonca is a
little doubtful if they can reach the Bra
lillian coast before the crisis comes, but
says success will be made doubly sure if
the insurgents have not been suppressed
before they arrive. With these two ves-
sells added to Peixoto's fleet Mello's SQUAD
ron will not only be outnumbered. but
Outclassed. Mendonca figures that Peix-

manded an apology from the Government

HAS WILLIS ACTEDr
A Firm Belief That He Asked the
Provisional Officers to Retire.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA special to the
World from Washington says: Nothing
has been given out to-day to throw any
new light on the II waiian puzzle There
are more or less positive statements that
the status quo in Honolulu has been
broken by the action of Minister Willis.
and that news TO that effect was conveyed
TO the State Department In the dispatches
brought by the Corwin.
These are met by an equally positive
statement that no advices to that effect
emanating from any reliable source are at
hand. IN support of the probability Of
the latter theory attention is called to the
full text of Willis latest dispatch, as in
cluded in the completed volume of CORE
spondence just laid before the House a
portion of which has been published

IL is pointed out that there is distinct

II am inclined, therefore. in addition to
official inquiry already proceeding, to hear
any proposals of experts ana the eorists in
various professions and trad es for raising
the sunken value of silver, and the neces-
sary steps have already been taken to
bring about this hearing"

OMAHA, Jan. John P. Irish Of San
Francisco Is to be guest of the Jackson
Club tomorrow evening, and will respond
to the toast contemporary Estimates of
Presidents. Speaking about the attitude
of the California people respecting PROM
inent public questions, he said: I'VE are
with the administration on the financial
and Hawaiian questions, and the sentiment
with respect to each is pretty much all one
way. California, not being a silver State,
is in free coinage agitation, while already
the immense and growing commercial
interests there foster demand for safe
monetary system such as that advocated
by conservative men. Being nearer to
Hawaii than any other portion of the
country and more closely connected with
the affairs of the islands. we think we
know just about the truth as to the trouble
there, and we are anti-annexationists."
