Advices up to January 5, from
Honolulu report everything quiet.
The provisional government held alb
solute sway. Cleveland's blood
thirsty tigress was still without a
throne and Minister Willis was quiet
ly sucking his thumbs.
Last Saturday the president sent
to the lower house of Congress the
dispatches received by the revenue
cutter Corwin, and with it Willis dis
patch of Nov. 10th. By this it is
learned that when Willis graciously
informed the Queen that his high
mightiness, Grover Cleveland, wish
ed to reinstate her upon her throne
and asked her what she would do, in
that case, with those who had opposed
her, the dusky majesty promptly re-
Piled that she would enforce her laws !:
"behead them and confiscate their
property"
1t will be remembered that this is
one of the dispatches that Cleveland
has been holding back ON the ground
that it's publication would be incom-
patible with the interest of the coun-
try. 1t would certainly take keen
eye to detect the injury that would
have resulted in the earlier publica-
ton of this matter to any one but
Grover Cleveland. However, this
supreme egotist, seeing that he was
the democratic party, may have con-
cluded that he was the country also.
Further, these dispatches disclose
the fact that after this half Cannibal
had announced her blood thirsty
savagery the American minister Offer
ed her an asylum, either on one of
our war ships or with him at the leg
