Residents Preparing to Defend the Dole Government. EXCITEMENT AT MR, BLOUNT'S REPORT. People ‘‘Aroused and Mean Fight All Over,” JAPANESE CRUISER ARRIVES. ISR ee es SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.—The steamer Oceanic arrived from the Orient via Hono- lulu shortly after 10 o'clock last evening. ‘The United Press correspondent at Hono- lulu writes as follows, under date of De- cember 5: On the 24th ulto. the “Warrimoo” brought from Victoria our earlies- knowledge of Gresham's letter and Minister Willis’ proba- ble instructions to restore the queen by force. The Monoawal, from San Francisco, on the same day brought full details. No great rurprise is felt. The Irmgard’s ad- vices of the second had prepared us to ex. pect facte The royalists were greatly elat- ed. The Americans were also much inspir- ed by the vigorous denunciations of Cleve- land's course by the American press, and by the delay of Minister Willis in stating or executing his instructions. One thing became clear—that the ex- Queen and her supporters had been, since early in March, supplied with accurate in- formation from Washington of the Presi- dent's policy and intention to restore her. T. A. Davis has also evidently been in the President's confidence from the beginning. All the confident boastings of the royalists,so long derided by the annexation party, prove to have been based upon reliable secret in- formation from Washington. Mr. Blount’s peculiar relations of intimacy with the roy- alists are also fully explained. Call om Minister Willis. Immediately after the news per Warri- moo was received, President Dole and At- torney General Smith waited upon Minister Willis, They asked to know his instruc- tions. He courteously declined to communi- cate them, but renewed to them a previous assurance that he would absolutely take no action until the return of the Alameda on December 21. He further assured them that they would be the first to know of any | course of action decided upon by him, He- evinced a genuine sympathy for the gov- errment, if not for their cause. Minister Willis then listened appreciative- ly to a representation by the attorney gen- etal to the effect that their struggle for good and constitutional government had been protracted and arduous for fifteen years, culminating in the queen's tragic trampling on the constitution and that they were profoundly in earnest to maintain con- stitutional government against the ignor- = an viclous despotism. | on the 27th greatly The excitement by giving Mr. Blount’s report, as well as the sensa- tion created at Washington by the Aus- tralia’s news. It was at first believed that Minister Wiilis’ delay in acting would re- sult in the entire postponement of the in- tended restoration until Congress should be consulted. On the 29th, however, the royalists be-| came very active and exultant, and it be- gan to leak out from them that the restora- tion would take place on Saturday, Decem- ber 2. There is now no more derision of the royalist rumors, and great claims were prevalent. It was surmised that Minister Willis had, by the China, received urgent orders to act. Policy of Resistance Adopted. The government trusted in his assurance of the 24th, but strengthened their defenses and increased their guards as a precaution against a possible outbreak of the royalists in their excitement. On the 30th united and vigorous demands were made on the government by representative. men of all) classes to adopt a determined policy of re- | sisting the United States forces to the ut- most. One committee was headed by the marshal. The ministers felt severely burdened by their responsibility to maintain their gov- ernment as firmly as possible on one hand and save the people from ruinous conse- quences by the restoration of the queen, and on the other the duty to avoid useless slaughter either of United States forces or of their own citizens, of whom their leading ones would be foremost in the conflict. The united demands of the citizens terminated all indecision and the government became prepared to resist all attack to the last ex-} tremity. The people are intensely aroused and mean | fight all over. They feel death in battle to be more honorable dnd even more safe than to be remanded under the willful and reck- less rule of an impious semi-heathen queen and her paramours, exasperated by the former defeat. A report also emanated from the royalists, and was widely believed, that after the queen had been restored by the United States forces, forces were to be landed from H. M. 8. Champion and both forces would assume the vask of protecting and main- taining her upon the throne. This was said by the royalists to be by special arrange- ments made by President Cleveland with the British government. ‘The attorney general this noon expressed his doubt of any such arrangement. He be- lieved the Champion was here merely for ordinary protective work in case of battle or disorder. Many of the most intelligent people be- Meve that the report is true. They are of the opinion that President Cleveland must have provided for continuous protection of the queen. As he cannot so provide per- manently, apart from the treaty stipulation by, and of the Senate, his most ready re- course would be to British aid. For this he has precedent of joint protection over Sa- moa. Mr. Blount’s Report Denounced. Mr. Blount’s report elicited from the American party a storm of scornful denun- ciation. He was always supposed by them to be directing his inquiries as to expedi- ency of annexation. Showy badges were prepared by the royal- ists to distinguish their followers on the day of conflict expected on the 2d. Several | hundred of these were sent to the men on |the U. S. 8. Philadelphia and Adams, who | were already largely supplied with annexa- | tion badges. Orders were at once issued to the men to wear no badges of either party. ,On the 2d the Australia arrived with the |mails. Mr. Thurston's letter on Blount’s re- |port was received. He writes to this gov- ernment that it has caused no tension in his relations to Cecretary Gresham, which are friendly, although Mr. Thurscon has made very plain representations to him. The Australia’s news encouraged the Amer- }icans as indicating the increasing and ac- tive sympathy with the provisional govern- ment, as well as the ser.ous perplexity of the administration. Preparing for Defense. In the event of an attack upon the pro- visional government without the consent of Congress, the citizens will occupy the ex- ecutive building and premises and defend them to the utmost. They will probably muster 1,200 rifles. Many are sharpshoot- lers. They have three Maxim guns and two | Gatlings, besides the government batteries. Resistance will be made from behind in- |trenchments. They have no doubt of being jable to hold the situation against any or- ganized force now in this harbor. The ships cannot shell-the premises without destroy- ing the property of the British and Germans, as well as the American: At a special session of the council cn the 30th ultimo a strong demand was made by | | ‘ger from Honolulu. a majority of the members for immediate dismissal of the royalists from the govern ment service. Minister Damon aroused a strong antagon. ism to himself by opposing the application of the rule to his own department. on has always befriended the natives and half whites, but is felt now to be carrying that sentiment too far. ‘The Japanese cruiser Naniwa arrived on the 2d, to protect the Japanese interests. ‘The government last week notified the foreign representatives that warships in port should hereafter land no armed men for shore drill without first obtaining special consent of the government, as such land- ing caused alarm. Minister Willis express- ed his cordial approbation of the govern- ment’s action, INTENSE FEELING DISPLAYED. Minister of Finance Jones Describes the Sentiment at Honolulu. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.—P. 8. Jones, minister of finance. under Queen Liliuoka- lani at the time the ministry was deposed for want of confidence and subsequently minister of finance under the provisional government, was a passenger on the Oceanic, which arrived from Honolulu last night. He spoke to a United Press reporter as follows: ‘There is intense feeling on the islands and a positive determination to resist force by force should the United States attempt to pla e the queen on the throne. Despite the earnest protest of the better class of People, those having a vital interest at stake, there will certainly and absolutely be trouble. The determination to resist the restoration of the queen fs born of a conviction of right and sense of duty. The provisional government took chances when it overthrew the rotten monarchy and now vroposes to take chances in the outcome and abide by them. In so far as Mr. Blount's impartiality is concerned, he positively re- fused to hear evidence likely to clash with his preconceive | ideas. My assertion, though broad, is ba: +1 on personal knowledge. From my intimate acquaintance with the queen’s government, derived while minister under it, thoroughly acquainted with ell its rottenness, I offered to give him the benefit of my observations, but he peremptorily re- fused to listen to me. Mr. Willis was re- cently asked what the intentions of the United States relative to annexation were. He answered that contingencies had arisen which had not been expected by himself or his government, and, therefore, he was obliged to await further instructions. Even Old Men and Women Aroused. “The idea of resorting to force to resist the queen's restoration is permeating ail classes. Old men have offered their services in case of necessity, or, summing up this feature In the words of an old and promi- nent citizen, who proffered his aid: ‘Cap- tain, I'm old and can't do much, but I can stop a bullet when you want to call on me.’ “American women are equally enthusias- tic and are actuated by the same feelings. Even the better class of the natives thave espoused the provisional cause, though the constant din about President Cleveland’s purposes and proposed doings somewhat dampens their ardor and they are apt to regard him as a great authority, whose wishes it would be futile to oppose. The American League of about 18) members is composed of strong and determined me- chanics, who can be depended upon to give good accounts of themselves. They mean business and let me- tell in ‘ nection a number of Marshal Wilson’s men, who belong to the queen’s guard, and who were stationed at police headquarters at the time of the overthrow, flocked up to the government building and straightway < uisted on the provisional side. “Annexationists felt keenly the slight put upon them by President Cleveland's ad- ministration in that it imparted its view and its purposes to the British and royal- | goes. American ist citizens in preference to the residents of Hawail. Cannda‘s Proposition. “It may not be generally known that on January 17 last a member of the Canadian ministry, riamed Mackenzie Bowell, min- ister of finance and trade, visited Honolulu on his return from New Zealand and at- tended a meeting of prominent people there, at which he advocated the advisability of abrogating the existing reciprocity of trade between Hawali and the United States and invited the framing of a similar treaty with the Dominion of Canada. He suggest- ed the appointment of a committee to con- sider the matter and invited the closest attention to it. “Let me say in conclusion that if there is any suspicion that the present situation in the islands can be changed without a vigorous protest on the part of the pro; visional government that suspicion is er- roneous. Briefly my opinion of the whole situation is this: Recently a very small bird was hatched in Hawaii. “By careful nursing this weakling devel- oped into a magnificent bird, and we be- lieve this bird would continue to grow under the fostering care of the American eagle, and I assert it absolutely beyond the power of Cleveland, Gresham, Davis et id et id genus omne to put that bird back into its original sheil.”” Gen. W. H. Dimond, ex-superintendent of the San Francisco mint, was also a passen- He corroborated the tatements as to the intense feeling on the islands, and said: 2 ‘Naturally the military situation attract- ed my attention. I found the provisional government strongly intrenched. I watched the provisional forces drill under competent and efficient officers. They acquitted them- selves in a highly satisfactory way. They are well armed with the best and latest pattern of Springfield rifles, with plenty of ammunition and gatling guns and other field pieces. The volunteers are the very best men on the Islands. I am creditably informed that the provisional government is able to place 1,500 men in the field, thor- oughly equipped, on ten minutes Potice. That there will be determined forcible re- sistance is a fact, and I was further told that if marines are landed, an atte npt will be made to drive them back to their ships. An impression also prevails that even in the event of armed forces being Janjded end an order commanding them to fire is ¢-!ven, their pieces would be fired into the air. The moral support of the United States, it is believed, will be with the annexation party. The royalists are more numerous than is generally supposed and are chiefly British subjects, who are confident that President Cleveland will carry their policy through, and bets are freely made that the queen will be eventually restored.” ———— Rat ‘= Money.

On Saturday a note, apparently of the denomination of 950, was found to be really a $10 bill of the series of 1850, so carefully altered as to almost defy detec- tion. The word “silver” had been deftly pasted across the face of the greenback to give it the appearence of a silver certifi- cate, and the figure “5S” had been nasted over the figure “1.” In addition to this the word “tifty’” had been substituted in like manner for the word “ten” in the upper left-hand corner of the bill. It is believed that the forgery was committed in West Virginia, as it was first detected in Wheel- ing. Mr. Walters stated yesterday that $1! bills are being raised to $10 bills in the same way, and that the circulation of these forged greenbacks is comparatively large. Santa © Clab Sabscriptions.

Members of the Hawaiian Govern- | ment Meet. EXECUTIVE AND ADVISORY COUNCIL Confidence in American Justice Expressed, WUNDENBERG’S PUNISHMENT A general meeting of the executive and of the advisory council of the provisional gov- ernment of Hawaii was held on the after- noon of Thursday, November 30, at Honolulu. President Dole opened with prayer. Those present were: Ministers Dole, King, Damon and Smith, and Counciidrs Waterhouse, Allen, Emmeluth, Bolte, Morgan, Brown, Buhr, Nott, Wilder, Mendonce and Ena. Minister of Finance Damon made a state- ment in regard to the political situation, and read, by permission, the following letter, which he himself had written to a gentle- man in San Francisco on the subject: “If you will lift the veil a little and look on the other side of Mr. Blount’s mission, and the influence that he has power to use in the future, it may be just as well that I gave him all the attention and confidence that I did, and, knowing what I do know, I certainly do not regret it. Mr. Blount worked on the idea that Mr. Stevens was an hour too soon in recognizing the pro- visional government. Colamtis of news- paper articles have been written, with the result that the American public are satis- fied that he was not an hour too late, That is what the public want to know. Now, for the other side, to my certain knowledge, he collected more solid information on the subject of titles and tenures, even so far back and so deep as into the intricacies of the Mahale award. Following up the sub- ject, he brought to light the fact of the ac- tual amount of land awarded to the people as compared with the amount awarded to chiefs. No detail was omitted.. Then he took up the subject of races, and their abil- ity to appreciate the franchise. visit the pe! ‘. lu- cat too, he has not omitted, Ch: iniz- ing influences of all creeds receiving careful consideration. Then, coming to more ma- terial interests, at his request, careful and exhaustive statistics igre a te mm as ~ = ownership of property, and col- lectively—who paid taxes—and by national- ities; the probable effect of Chinese and Japanese immigration; our Iabor laws and other important subjects too numerous to mention today. Will any sensible man say that they will have no bearing on our future relations with the United States? I have not lost faith in the man, and it is not wise to look on our side only of a :nan or wo- man, or of movements of so much impor- tance to America and Hawaii. “You mention that if Mr. Gresham's letter and instructions f= he - he ges | S44 shall be in trouble or Y. ever oc- cur to you that Mr. Willis may have had tO or withhold his let- ters of ce to Mr. Dole as he might find. the circumstances warranted? Events have shown that he did delay in delivery, When he did the act was final, as shown by his subsequent remark: “My relations with the provisional government are un- changed.’ American diplomats abroad have never yet carried the titles of perfidy, so far as my reading of American diplomacy It has proved that it vet on thi ine of cultivated honesty. Mr. Willis prov- ed this when the ex-queen applied to him for protection, by refer her to the pro- visional government, and, like a gentleman, offering his services @ private citizen to secure her the required aid, and the ex- queen is now under the protection of this government. “You will, perhaps, ask the question, Why dwell so long on these matters? and I can only reply that it is to strengthen the calm judgment that the Hawatian question is not being treated lightly either here or in Wash- ington. I know you will ask one more qu: tion, and that is, What about Gresham’s letter? All it would be safe for me to say ts that the public have answered it, and President Cleveland has reserved his opin- ion. The provisional government have come to stay. and in the meantime is a very in- terested observer of President Cleveland's opinion, and of the action of Congress.” Confidence in American Justice. Speaking, he eaid: “I look upon this whole movement, which was inaugurated not only last January, but which dates many years back, as one which brings us in the closest relations to the United States, It is a national matter. It even goes far- ther than that, and, perhaps, one of the reasons why the United States have been slow to a is because It is such a new de- ire ii their foreign policy. But I think in all their relations with the country, they have shown discretion, they have shown a kindly feeling, they have shown sentiment in ev way that it can be evinced toward us. Whatever the present situation may be with the heads of the government at Wash- ington, we have no right to say that we know their — views now, until we have heard from them definitely. We are safe in the hands of the American republic to- day. American is written from Bird Island to the extreme limit of Hawail; you cannot touch a spot on Hawali, but what it is American. It is American in sentiment; it is American in progress; it is American in everything.” Protest of Resident Americans. A petition signed by leading Americans of Honolulu was presented to Mr. Willis on Sunday, December 3. After setting forth that the petitioners are citizens of the Unit- ed States, and have done nothing whereby to forfeit or waive their full legal and con- stitutional rights as such citizens, and that they have made their residences and homes and have acquiret property in these islands under the constitutions of 1852, 1865 and ISN, and reciting the events which led up to the revolution of January last, the petition concludes with the statement that a treaty of annexation was negotiated with the pro- Vieional government by and in behalf of the United States, and that no public notice has b.en given to the und or any intention on the part of the United States to break off diplomatic relations with the provisional government, or to do any acts of war or hostility to the said government: that no such acts of war or hostility can be done without endangering the lives and property of the signers. Then follows this sentence: “And the un- ed hereby solemhly and respectfully protest to yor excellency and to Grover Cleveland, President of the United States; to Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of State: to Hilary A. Herbert,Secretary of the Navy, ing the United States naval forces now in Hawalian waters, and to all concerned, that any such war or hostility attempted or an- | nounced in the time of profound peace now existing be*ween the United States and the Hawa. an Islands, or without any full, for- mal and timely announcement thereof, will and would cause all concerned in authority in the same to be held responsible for all the consequences that may ensue therefrom, not only before Aimighty God and in the form of conscience, but by all the sanction- ed rules and observances of civilized nations in their dealings with each other; it would | be in violation of the rights of the under- signed, secured and belonging to them as citizens of the United States of America.” Joint Protectorate Ramors.

One was for service of the provisional government and the other for 4,000 men. “While we do not need this aid,” said the president, “the fact that it has ed us shows what the feeling is in ed States.” The Bulletin of December 1 that the queen has had any communication with Minister Willis as a private citizen, or that Minister Willis has at any time refer- red the queen to the provisional government for protection, or that the queen has had any communication with the provisional government on any subject.” The American Thanksgiving day was Guly, celebrated. To Punish Wandenberg. F. W. Wundenberg, clerk of the circuit court of Honolulu, whose scalp the annexs- tionists have been after on account of the statements he made to Mr. Blount, was sus- pended November 30, when Mr. Blount’s re- port reached the islands. The annexation- ists are wild with wrath at Wundenberg on account of his statements. The attorney general addressed the fol- lowing statement to the justices the preme court: “In the matter misconduct in office of F. W. a clerk of the circuit court of cult, the undersigned, Wm.
