LATEST FROM HONOLULU. LUIoakalanl la Still Kx-Qe««u. and to All Appearance U likely to Kraula So— MlaUter W1UU Presents HU Credential*to the Provisional Government and U Cordially Received hy 1*resident Dels — The El-yueen May be Deported. Sax Francisco, N'ov. 19. —TheOceanic steamship Australia arrived from Honolulu at 9:Jo o’clock yesterday morning, bringing a small list of passengers anti information tha&nounusual occurrence has disturbed the course of affairs at the Hawaiian islands. Miuister Willis had presented his credentials in due form to the provisional government, and had been received as the accredited representative of the United States. He had not made public his instructions from theUnited Slates.® Secretary tire sham’s letter had not been received nor heard of, and, so far as known by the public. Hawaiian affairs in the Unite* States were still in statu quo. Not Re-K»tahllahed on Her Throne* San Francisco, Sot, JO.—Queen Dili— oukalani has not been restored to herthroue. In fact, latest advices from Honolulu received by steamer arriving at San Francisco Saturday are to the effect that the provisional government is in total ignorance of any such intent on the part of this government* Minister Willis presented his credentials to President Dole on the ”th instant, and most cordial greetings were exchanged—greetings remarkably cordial iu the light of what was expected. As far as can be learned no intimation has been given by Minister Willis of the attitude of this government as expressed in the letter of Secretary Gresham. Among those arriving by the steamer which brought news front Honolulu the greatest surprise was expressed on their hearing that such a. letter ha^been written. The News DUappolutlug at Washlnctoiw Washington, Nov. JO.—Mews from: the Hawaiian islands was anxiously awaited and was evidently disappointing. ' The state department received a message from Minister Willis, but its contents were kept a profound secret. In fact, there was an abnormal amount of secrecy about the state department concerning the entire situation. Minister Willis' remarks to 1‘resident Dole are regarded as in direct conflict: with Secretary Gresham’s letter. However. Minister Willis majifbe endowed with full discretionary; powers and have chosen such a course to work out- ' i his instructions, Which- are presumed to have been to establish the queen in power, though on this score nothing is- ' known, owing to the Secrecy which has been exercised. . *

WIU Deport! the K-V Queen tf Nr«wur;. San Francisco, Nov. 20.—Yesterday’s Call says: , “If United States Minister WHlis insists upon the reinstatement'of Queen LUiuokalani, as queen of Hawaii, that woman will be deported from the islands, and the chances are that the exequatur of President Cleveland's envoy will be canceled and he will be returned to this country as persona non grata. This is rather astonishing news, but is what the provisional government has decided upon.” This is probably founded upon the interview with ex-eonsul general to 11await, nenry Severance, who was asked: “What will the provisional government do when a demand is made that the queen be restored?” . “They will probably at once cancel the exequatur of -the minister making suc„h an absurd demand and cause hiur to return to this country.” “And as to the queen?” “Oh she will have been disposed of.* “What do you mean, that she will have been killed?” “No: nothing of the kind. There will be no bloodshed. She will be out, of the country. She will have beendeported.” “This move was contemplated some time ago, was it not?” “Yes,” said Mr. Severance, “and it was even spoken of in the newspapers, but it was considered inadvisable, for it was believed that the great United States would listen to reason and such harsh treatment would not be necessary. The provisional government, now stands ready to carry out the suggestion the moment it see,ms necessary for the safety of the powers that nowrule the island.” “What effect will the letter of Secretary Ureshan have on the government’s action when it reached Honolulu?” “I should not be surprised were thy queen deported the very day,” he replied. “What if the United States attempts to put her on the throne by force bylanding marines?” 4 “This country will never do that. In the first place the chances are that Minister Willis would find no queen to“boost” on to the throne. No, there will be no force iised. If GroverCleveland should attempt such a thing thepeople of the United States would, raise such a cty that he would at oncebe called fo his senses Mr. Cleveland's great mistake is that he does, not know the caliber of the men he is dealing with. They are every bit as bright and clever as ho is. Sandford, though not president, could fill any office in the United States with honor,, and the other ministers are equally capable. They are determined men, determined to. give the islands a good* clean government. The thinking people want them in power, and they w|ll remain there.” “About cancelling Minister WilHsv exequatur, can the provisional government do that?” “Most assuredly. They formed anindependent government, recognised, as such by the different nations, and they can refuse to receive a minister should they so decide.” “Hut, suppose Mr. Cleveland should insist upon what seems to be his policy and attempt to force the minister upon, the islands and the queen upon the> throne?” “I tell you again he would not dar* do such a thing. The I people of the United States would not stand such a. course of action.” 1 .4... . .1 .. I -J
