MR.. THURSTON'S RECALL.
DOES NOT MEAN TIA T HIS GOVERN
NEWT rs DISPLEAsED WITH HIN.
Not Probable That Minister Wills VIII be
Given His Passports In Return.
Hatch May Come

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL. April 1.-THE
steamer Alameda. from Sydney via Hon.
olulu. arrived at o'clock this morning.
The following is the correspondence of
the United Press per steamer Alameda;
HONOLULU, April 4--On the arrival
of the steamer China. on The second In
slant, lively sensation was created by
the newspaper dispatches announcing
that Secretary Gresham had Instructed
Minister Willis to demand the recall OF
Minister Thurston.
Foreign Minister Hatch has received
from Mr. Tnurston himself no informa-
ton Of the new or special trouble arising
between Gresham and himself. Mr..
Hatch has. however. received tele-
gram from Mr.. Thurston announcing his
inteation 10 arrive in Honolulu on April
llth. by steamer Arawa. This intention
seems to have been suddenly formed
at the last moment
NOT DIsPLEAsED WITH HIM.
Mr. Thurston had written 10 his mother
by mail not to be disturbed by press re-
ports, and that ne should stay In Wash
ington. Mr.. Hatch and his colleagues
naturally initiate Thurston's reported
reticence The remarks Of their leading
associates, however, indicate that no Sc
rious apprehension is entert1ined Of airy
grave complication The condition OF
strained relations with the Washington
administration has existed for two years
post, and has become chronic.
In the discharge of his duty. the Ha-
walian Minister has repeatedly been COM
anfe tnfhf "
tremeiy distasteful TO Mr.. Gresham. The
only surprise is that he has been able
to continue so long at his post.
The opinion is expressed BY friends CT
the Government that Mr.. Thurston viii
probably have no difficulty in jusufyins
himself.
MAY SUCCEED HATCH.
So far as can be learned 1t seems prob
able that this Government will not IN
ary case make point of honor In the
matter but will seLd another Minister
in Minister Thurston's place. If Mr..
Hatch should go. Mr.. Thurston would
doubtless take his place here as Minister
of Foreign Affairs.
MIR Thurston has abandoned a lucra-
live law Practice here 10 serve the Gov
ernment abroad. He would be glad 10
Ietire from public life and attend to his
private business. but this Is not likely
70 be rern-t tied him.
United States Minister Willis Is believed
to feel some uneasiness lest In retaliation
this Government should give him his
pas sports, but 1t Is considered highly
tn,protnble that the Government VIII
cisturb Mr.. Willis as long as ne gives
no special cause therefor.
THE WILLIS RECEPTION.
..ooo..f,., NJ nj Alrq Willis WAS
given on the evening of the %, on board
the flagship Philadelphia. by Admiral
Beardslee and the officers Of the ship All
the prominent government officials IN
town were present. with the exception OF
President Dole, who had gone TO Kauai
Possibly through inadVertency or iuior-
mality. President Dole al'c others OF the
Cabinet were not invited TO previous
reception given by Mr.. Wits in honor
Of Admiral Beardsee and officers. NO
notice was taken of The neglect, but II
created suspicion. Mrs. Dole attendel the
reception on the Philadelphia.
no CONFIDENCE IN MRS. DoMISIs.
II is reliably learned that on the even
ing OF the 1st Mrs. Dominis was seen eN-
changing salutatiOns with a body OF po-
litical prisoners returning 10 jail from
their daily labor on the reads. She was
first seen 10 wave her handkerchief 10
them from the east yeranda of her for
mer palace. Then as they passed the front
OF the palace they again swung their
hats she responding with her handker-
chief, but standing back little from the
window, so as not 10 be conspicuous
from the street. The Government and
their supporters feel that little reliance
Is to be placed upon the ex-Queen's oath
Of allegiance or act Of abdicauon, and
that she is liatie still TO foment agitation
and insurrection.
The native weekly, Makaanana was
suspended for ten weeks during martial
law, its editor. Kaipu, being put in prison
as a suspect. Since his r. lease publication
has been resumed. its tone is nearly as
treasonable as It had been before. It's last
issue declared that the Queens oath to
the Republic did not bind her adherents,
as she made It under stress OF captivity.
She was to be regarded as a martyr who
had sacrificed herself for her people.
JAPAN AND HAWAII.
Serious and growing apprehension Is
expressed here OF what the Japanese Gov
ernment may feel impelled 10 do 20 Ha-
wall after the termination of the war
with China. The temper or the Japanese
Government is less distrusted than the
inordinate jlngosm Of the japanese poll
tcians. who are likely TO make unreason-
able demands for increased political
power for japanese residents I'm Hawaii,
who at present, like the Chinese, do not
participate AT all in public affairs. More
attention is directed 20 Japanese matters
on account OF the rapidly increasing COM
petition experienced from Japanese inn
porters and retailers. Goods OF Japanese
manufacture are fast displacing in Ha-
wall those from Europe and America,
while their retailers are easily undersell-
ing white merchants. Altogether, more
danger is feared from ,JaDan than from
