WILLIS HAS AGAIN OFFENDED THE
HAWAIIAN GOVERNMENT.
He Refused to Take Part In Holiday
Exercises Of Jan. 17-An Editor
BeIfttIes the Republic.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1o-Advces to a
local PAPER from Honolulu say that unless
Secretary Olney apologies for the actions
of Minister Willis that official may be given
his passports soon. The trouble all grew
out OF an invitation issued by the Hawaiian
Foreign Office to the diplomatic corps to
participate in the national holiday of Jan.
II, the anniversary OF the overthrow of
monarchy. Willis refused to take part in
the celebration on the ground that Presi-
dent Cleveland did not approve the manner
in which the monarchy was overthrown.
Julian d. Hayne, editor Of the Hawaiian,
a monthly magazine published in Honolulu,
arrived here on the steamship Australia.
He takes very pessimistic view of the
present government of Hawaii and says
1.-The Japanese are becoming so numerous
there and firmly rooted that the islands are
in danger Of becoming mere outposts Of
Japan. The thirty gentlemen who. in 1893,
stood as godfathers to the infant republic,
and who find themselves at the beginning
of 1896 the only support of HawaiiS pro-
visional government are most uneasy. say
provisional government because that is all
ii Is, with the utter failure of the effort
to reconcile the native Haweiians to dis
franchisement, the suddenly aggressive ac-
tion of the Japanese residents and the in
dependent stand taken by Chinese agricul-
turists the situation is anything but COM
Portable. The government is like business
house threatened by bankruptcy The crisis
may be delayed, but not for long. There
is a monthly deficit of $4,000 and the people
are rapidly losing faith in the power OF
the men at the helm"
Mr.. Hayne has not been much impressed
by the mercy of President Dole and his
associates. 1.-The newspaper comments in
Europe and the United States show a grave
misapprehension of the facts as to the mag
nanimity of the ruler of Hawaii he OBJ
served. Take the so-called release and
pardon of political prisoners for instance
The truth is that no pardons at all have
been granted. Something similar to the
British ticket of leave system has been
brought into. play. All the political prison.

Returning to the Chino-Japanese question,
the editor declared the problem confront
ing Hawaii to be OF the gravest character.

said. There can be put one endng-absor,J-
