WILLIS COMING HOME.
United States Minister is Persona
non Grata with the Hawaiian
President.

San Francisco, Cal, March ia spe-
cia from Honolulu to local paper says:
United States Minister Willis has an
nounced his intention of leaving Hawaii
April Is. This statement, made IN the
face of the minister's recent denunciation
of a similar report, is construed and gem
orally believed to mean that he will not
return.
Many people are of the opinion that
the American legation will be closed for
the remainder of President Clevelands
term in order to get even with the Dole
regime for criticising the act of Minister
Willis in refusing to acknowledge the
January celebra ton. Mr.. Willis depart
ure is looked upon as the only recourse
left, as he has been persona non graua
from the moment of his arrival. There
has been more or less talk of the posi-
'bility of the Hawaiian government giving
Mr.. Willis his passport and it is fair to
surmise that Willis is leaving to prevent
such q confinement
