ESTABLISHED JUNE 19, LILIVORALANIREIGNS State Department Officials Confident the Dusky Queen Hes Been Restored, THINK THE CHANGE WAS MADE YESTERDAY Moral Suasion Alone Being Necessary for the Trans‘er of Power. WINISTER WILLIS' GREAT AUTHORITY Resistance to the Request of the United States Would Have Been Useless, IS EXFECTED TODAY DEFINITE NEWS Arrival the Mail Alameda Looked For at San Franciseo Today, ot Steamer When the leal Situation Will Be Made Knowi. WasEINGTON, Nov, 22.—As sald in an As- sociated press dispatch last nizht, the offi- cers of the State department fully believe the queen has by this time boen restored to the Hawaiian throne. While they do not fix any precise time as to when the reinstate- ment took place, they believe force was not necessary. It scems, however, that while actual force may nov have been authorized, there was to besuch a show of force as would make the provisional government be- lieve the United States would use all the power at itscommand to bring about the res toration. Thestatement was ulso made that 1f Mr. Dole refused toaccede to the demands of Minister Willis be shoula be thrust aside anda the queen restored, even if the adminis- tration would have to go to congress for authority. At the same time it was claimed that there would be no necessity for any such action, as the information from the islands waus to the effect that everything was working precisely as expected. Coufident Restoration Has teen Effected. One reason for the belief in some quarters thattherestoraion hud taken place yesterday or would take place about this time, was be- cause of the assertion often made that unless the restoration took place before the al of the first steamer from the United tes since the attitude of this administra- tion was mude pudlic it would not be made at all, becausc the sentiment of the United States aud the report of Minister Thurston to the provisional goyernment would have a tendency to sustain them and cause them to resist Minister Willis' efforts at restoration. This phaso of the case was suggested to the State department today and a reply re- ceived that it made no difference whether Mr. Thurston had been able to communicate with the provisional goverament or not, or whether that government would offer any resistance, the restoration would go on just the same. 1t was elaimed that not only the information furnished by Mr. Blount, but the reports received since Minister Willis’ arrival at Honoluiu, were to the effect that the provisional govern- ment was sustained on the supposition that the United States man of-war was 1n the harbor for that purpoese. and that as soon as it was known that the United States would not sustain the provisional government, but s determined to undo what had been done by the revolutionists, that the public would immediately compel the restoration of the queen and the provisional government would fall, and its members would hasten to take advantage of the amnesty which Minister ‘Willis would insist that the queen should grant upou being restored to power, Aa itional News Expected Today. The Alameda is expected to arrive tomor- row morning. At the department therc is not much expectation of any important news being received by her, although such a thing is barely possible. Yetitis the general be lief that nothing . transpired betw the time the Australia sailed and the departure of the Alameda. It was not possible at the time the Alameaa sailed for informs tion to reach the islands conce ing what *had happened in the United States or that the intention of the adminis- tration to restore the queen had been de- termined uvon if Minister Willis had pur- sued Lthe same course since the departure of the Australia that he pursued up to that time. The people of Hawaii, outside of a very few, would not ke aware of his inten- tion and he would be allowed to pursue his plans without much interruption, The basis of the belief that Liliuokalani was restored yesterday is supposed to be the dispatch received by the Australia from Minister Willi: It is said this reported Minister Willis' confident expectation that there would te no interruption to the progress of carrying out his instructions and all the preliminaries had been successfully attended to. It is asserted that the progress reported by Minister Willis has been so sutis factory that it has not been considered necessary to send him anything further since he received his original instructions. Ofticials in the State department assort the statement issued by Mnister Thurston tnis worning would furni: bundant grounds for giving him bis passports if this government felt inclined to send thew to him. In the present state of the public mind, however, it is thought this might seem like depriving o man of the ri W state his side of the case and would prove unpopular, Did Not Get His Passports. Thurston, the Hawailan minister, said this worning that he bad not received passports {rom the United Staies govern- ment yet. He said be had no reason to ex- pect any such course as probable. ‘L here is no diplomatic impropriety, he said, in a foreign minister making i personal statement in bis defense when he is personally assailed, and be (Thurston) considered he and the mem- bers of the provisional government, us indi- viduals, Lad been personally assailed and their veracity impugned he Hawailan public will probably receive its first news of the Greshum letter tomorrow, when the Monowai is to arrive at Honolulu, GETTING HIMSELF DISLIKED, Some Talk at Washingion of Giving Thurs- Walking Papers.

The inaignation of these gentlemen is so great that they do ot hesi- tate to intimate that Mr. Thursten's pass- s will be returned 10 him by the presi- lent.

He Devotes Most of it to a Discusslon of Hawnilan AMairs. Wesr SomEnviLLe, Mass, Nov. 22 John L. Stevens, LI.D., of Augusta, N ex-minister to Hawaii, lectured on k and Hawaiian affairs in a lydeum cov this eity tonight. In the andi were several gentlemen who have in tho past been 1dentified with Hawanan affairs. The lecturer refrained from maling any airect atlusion to or eriticism of the recent development in recard to the Hawaian estion. No reference was made to the Blount report or President Cleveland's ac- tion upon it and he also declined to discuss the subject to an Associated press reporter subsequently. Before beginning his address he remarked that during his thirteen years service as United States minister under five presidents he had invariably refused to recognize po- litical parties in his own country: that on all questions involving his action he had known the United States as a unit, believing that in our foreign relatious our pol should be national and continuous, always. with an united front to our foreign rivals, American Tnterest in Hawail. He had firmly refused to consider the Hawaiian question a partisau question in any sense. Continuiug, he said: “Our interest in Hawaii appertains to at least throe ques- tions more or iess distinct from each other, have not been considered en- There is the question of zation: there is the question mercial power in the Pacific, and the third involves the issue of responsible government under the American flag i harmony with pledged American faith, the best American antecedents and the plain logic of American history ana American op- portunicies. The increase of freeholders, farmers and fruit cultivators is the aim of the present provisional government, which hasresolved o cut up the crown and govern- ment lands and dispose of them to men of limited means who wish to make for them- selves permanent homes and become re- sponsible citizens on Ametican lines of de- velopment. Under the monarchy those crown lands were leased out often to palace favorites at much less than their relative lue, and, not unfrequently, were the means of politicai corruption. Which of these two policies shall be followed as to dealing with these lunds is of great importance to tne future of the islands. While Kalakaua was ®ood natured, ne had never assented to the constitution in good faith. He sought op- portunity to change it and regain his lost power.

From that hour the Hawaiian monarchy was absolutely dead, and no restoration is possible by the exer- cise of some foreign power. At the date of vufall the misguided and unworihy Liliug ui was without the sympathy and aid of the best native Hawaiians and all the respectable and responsible white residents of the island. Not a hand was lifted in de- fense of the semi-barbarian throne when it fell, conclusively disproving the assertion of the ugent of the fallen queen sent Yo Washington to secure as large a sum of money as possible for conveying to our gov- errment all her right aud vitle to tne Ha- waiian throne and the crown lands to which she had never had any other claim than to the income as long as she reigned. The agent, before embarking for Washington, made sure of a large advaunce fee of thou- sands of ollars, which the fallen queen paid out of her own purss and he thought it might help his case by the use of the utterly base statement that the United States minister and naval commander hada deprived the queen of her throne, and Claus Spreckels. who wants a wealke Hawamiun monarchy for his tool, though he was 2,000 mgles away when the queen fell, sees fit to repeat this absurd story of the queen’s law; who happens to be one who had formerly served Spreckels in California, and whom the unscrupulous sugar king makes use of in Hawaii In presenting . themselves for admission into the American union the islands come under more American aspects than any of our previously annexed states or territo- ries.

This demand comes from three dis- tinct sources, It was first mude by the British minister at Honolulu, tory in politics, many years a resident of Hawaii, @ person artagonistic to American interests, and by personal grounds and family rela. tions strongly attached to the fallen Hawailan monarchy. After its organization in January last he urged this plan to the provisional government. The scheme was brought forward by the queen’s attorney. The lottery and opium ri: of which the fallen queen's is believea to be the agent, favors the plan, While the ultra tory FEnghish and the Canadiun Pacific raliway bave purposes in view other than those of the falien Gueen and the lottery and opium rings, they are agreed as to the method of defeating an- nexation, The ex-queen’'s attoruey ~as often the paid agent of Claus Spreckels, and the latter ma! part of the alliance to kill annexation by the plebiscit This 1s au alliance as powerl: disrcputable.

Spanish Bomb Throwers Finally Located in | Their Private Quartera, HOME OF THE BARCELONA ANARCHISTS Discovery of the Very Nest of Dyaamitiem ~Valuable Documents Found Which May Lead to Raids on the Reds in Other Lands as Well, Barceroxsa, Nov. 22 —Another sensation has been caused here by the discovery of a nest of anarchists at 20 Rona san Pablo in this city. Sincethe uttempt upon the life of General Mar pos and the bomb outrage atthe Lyceo theater, the police have been most active in scarching for anarchists and in watching all those sus- pected of being in any way connected with anarchistic conspiracics, It now appears tat 20 Rona san Pablo was the place where the chief anarchist club of Spain met and from which its chiefs directed the policy of many other anarchistic clubs in the ki dom. At the anarchist headquarters arrested Miguel Nacher, p Spanish anarchists, and iwo wom®n who are said to have acted as messeagers ex- traordinary for the anarchists in conveying messages to and from points outside the city from which they were transmitted to their desti oM. The police 1n addition obtained possession of a large quantity of material and chemicals used in the manufacture of dynamite bombs, as well as a quantity of loaded and unloaded bombs, a large number of pistols and a mass of anarchist literature, consisting of pamph- lets, circulars and placards, all of which formed part of the stock of such matter which was _being circulated throughout Spain. They also seized some most important documents, which, it is believeda, will enable them if they act promptly to cause many other anarchist branches in & n, France and Irtal, s well as in Gther foreign coun- tries, to be raided. The police also reided the house of the wife of an anarchist known as Pavlo Berat, situated in the vicinity of the Castle of Mont Juich, in front of which fortification Pallas, the anarchist, was shot to death for his attempt 1o kill General: Martinez Campos. Reports ave in circulation here to the effect that the arrestof a large number of anarchists in several cities of Spatn may shortly be made aud a number of them are already reported to be escapmg from the large cities into the country with the people, or forcing their way toward the frontier and into France, where they are known to have a large number of sympa- thizers and where the anarchists’ conspiracy is said to be even more widespread and completely organized than in Spain. The informaticn which the authorities have been enabled to give to the Spanish government has been communicated to the government of France and is hikely to lead to a considerable number of arrests in that country. The Freuch government has been asked to instruct the frontier authorities to subject every man, woman and child passing the froutier to the most strict search and examination and will furnish ordinary travelers with passports ouly after the autecedents of the travelers have been in- vestigated by the authorities. The Spanish consul at Per already reported to the authorities here that two more Italians implicated in the dynamite outrage at the Lyceo theater have been arrested, making over two hundred now i custody charged with being im- plicated in the terrible crime. the police ident of the pignan has UNDER STRICT SURVEILLANCE. Everyoue of Kuown Anarchistic Tendancles in Erance Being Closely Watched, Paxis, Nov. 22.—The police of St. Etienne have raided a number of haunts where French and. foreign anarchists were sup- posed to be in hiding and have seized an anarchist manifesto, waich is said to have been distributed in many parts of France and possibly mailed to foreign countries, de- fending the dynamite outrages at Barcelona and at Marseilles and predicting that other aud similar outrages will soon be perpetrated in France. Several arrests have also been made, and the police thronghout the republic are tak- ing _every precaution to provent injury to public buildings. Acting upon instructions received from the government the police are compiling a record of all persons suspected of being in any way connected with anarchist societies and theéy will, for some time to come, be kept under the strictest surveillance. In addition to the regular force of detectives the police authorities have been empowere to_employ additionsl agents, whose duty will be to keep & careful watch upon anarchists and those associated with them. It 15 understood that the ltalian and Spanish goveruments are acling in this matter in concert with the overnment of France, and upon the reports which will be furnishad to the three governments some additional and combined action will be taken looking to tie suppression of anarchists and the prompt arrest and punishment of those en- gaged 1o dangerous couspiracies. WOMAN SUFFRAC ENGLAND, Dabate ou & Proposal to Let All Taxpayers Vote at Local Elecrions. Loxnoy, Nov., 22 he discussion the parish councils bill in House of Commons yesterday attracted mucn attention. Mr. Henry Fowler, president of the local govern- ment board, announced the introduction of a new clause permitting all women who pay taxes to vote at all local elections. The aiscussion which followea revealed a curious conflicy of opinion as to the extent of Mr. Fowler's concession, and Mr. Chamber- lain's threatenad opposition tosuch a widen- ing of the scope of the bill, which is being fought tooth and nail by the tories in spite of Mr. Balfour's well known leaning toward woman suffragze. In some quarters Mr. Fowler’ regarded as women pa of the has vroposal i3 dangerous step toward giving mentary franchise. England’s Faulty Navy. Loxvos, Nov. 22.—The Daily Graphic publishes an account of an interview with Admiral Frederick B. P. Seymour (Baron Alcester) upon the state of the navy. Tue admiral says that the condition of the navy is wost serious, and that $100,000,000 ought to be expended to build quickly ten mogeo! war and as many cruisers as possivle. He condemned the practice of building vessels with unarmored euds aud advocated the use of a complete belt at the water line in consequence of the great vtrength which was thus given to the rams, which, be said, will be the chief offensive weapon in future naval warfare. He complained of the lack of sutiicient pumber of trained seamen and said that the Medilerranean fleet ought to be largely increased and Gibraltar retained at all cost. Twistea His Words Around. Beiiay, Nov. 22.—The Reichsanzeiger pub- lishes an ofticial version of the substauce of certain remarks made by Chancellor Caprivi to Freiherer Mauteuflel, of which a dis- torted version, printed by the agrarian pa- pers, reporicd ithe chancellor as almost gloating in the ruin of she landed proprie- tors. On the contrary, aecording to the ofticial version, Chancellor Caprivi declared that both the Prussian and the imperial goverr ments were anxious 0:do evervthing possi- ble to assist the agrfehltural tenants and said that the bills had been passed with that intention. He was obliged to add, however, that such measures could not be interprefed to corcect ills which were largely due to the excessive indebtedness of the landowners and the inflated prices that were formerly paid for land, and it was his opinion t no legislavion could maintain the landowners under such circumstances.

The document says the United ates is the principal exporter of meat to England, sending 348,573 tons to the country per year. and adds that beef from thke United States which is killed at Birkenhead is so like English becf that the public in ninety-nine cases out of 100 are unable to tell the difference. Finally, the committee believes that the larger quantity of Euglish meat is inferior to America, and, in fact, it was asserted be- fore the committee that the age quality of imported meat was of a higher grade than “home grown meat. The committee recommends that dealers in foreizn meat be registered and that a notice to that effect be affixed to their shops. Gorman East Africi.
