LONDON, Jan. 5-A dispatch from
Auckland, New Zealand, states that the
American steamer Alameda, from San
francisco, via Honolulu, has arrived
there, bringing Hawaiian advices to De
cember % According to these advices
| the greatest excitement is prevailing
in Honolulu.
NUM- Der of policemen, who had been
requested to bear arms in defense OF
the provisional government, had re.
| fused to do so, and had been dismissed
from the governments service
1t is further stated that Mr.. Willis,
the American minister, had written to
the provisional government declaring
that they must surrender office, as the
United States had decided in favor of
Queen Liliuokalani, who had agreed to
grant amnesty to the mon who had
overthrow her government t, radity
the government obligations and to gov.
ern the islands according to the pres ant
constitution.
The provisional government at the
time Alameda sailed was preparing a
long reply to Minister Willis letter.
The Commercial Advertiser, OF Homo
lulu, declared that tho American Con-
gress has taken the Hawaiian M atter
out of the hands of President Cleveland
and that tho provisional government
will not retire unless it is forced 20 do
30. The paper holds that the employ
ment of force to depose the present
government is not likely.
