Since last ad vices there has been little or no excite ment here. ' Supporters of both factions the provisional government and the monarchy are exceedingly anxious and watch for every new development. The arrival of the Corwin created the only stir which has come up. When the cut ter was sighted there was great excite ment for a short time. It was reported that the vessel would land troops and the queen would be restored immediate ly. But as nothing transpired to affirm this report the excitement soon died out. The Corwin arrived at midnight, hut did not dock till 6 a. H. Captain Mun ger came ashore immediately with a package which he delivered to. Minister Willis. The Mariposa was scheduled to sail at noon, but at the request of the American minister she was held till 5 o'clock to take the minister's dispatches foi the state department at Washington. The nature of the instructions to Min ister Willis is unknown. The revolu tionists believe that the arrival of the Ccrwin is their deliverance and the roy alists are not as hopeful of their success as they were a few days ago. The pro visional government still continue prep arations to repel any outbreak. All pub lic buildings have been fortified with breastworks of sand bags. Every en trance to the palace is guarded with two Krupp guns and two Gatling guns. Trenches and rifle pits are being dug and every precaution taken. The execu tive council and advisorv board met Bhortlv after the arrival of the Corwin. President Dole was asked if he received any communication from the state de partment at Washington either direct or through Minister Willis. He said he had received nothing. It is verv evident that the provisional government will not give up without a straggle. Every man in the movement seems determined to stick to the end. As one of the leaders said: "The queen will not be restored till every American in the islands is dead. Royalists hint at interference on the part of England and Japain in the near future. It is reported that many wealthy royalists are preparing to leave the islands. Thev think the monarchv is gone forever and are afraid to remain. It is believed Liliuokalani would grant amnesty to all opponents with the ex ception of President Dole," Mrnirfor Thurston, W. O. Smith and Chief Jus tice Judd. President Dole is in bad health and considerable anxiety is mani fested. He remains at home neariv all the time, only going to the foreign office on urgent business. Annexationists are now advocating an independent republic if congress does not take them in. It is proposed to or ganize on the American plan with the exception of placing an educational qualification upon the members of the upper house. There will be no such re striction on the lower house. Quite a military aspect prevails just now. The government keeps 150 men under arms, on duty all the time. The Citizens" Reserve, numbering 1,500, is also subject to call and is prepared to go into action on short notice. STEVENS REPLIES TO CLEVELAND. Be Denies that Be Assisted the Osw throw of the Bawaiian Monarchv-. Ex-Minister Stevens is oat in ajredv to President Cleveland's severe strict ures upon him in the Hawaiian message. Stevens says tlie president's criticism is but a feeble repetition of Gresham's statement previously published. "Presi dent Cleveland's grossly untrue and shamefully unjust allegation against myself and the naval commander rests entirely on the statements of four no toriously corrupt ministers of the fallen queen, of Wilson, the queen's favorite, and other thoroughly discredited testi mony. I repeat here what has been am ply verified again and again that neither by force nor by threat of force, or by any action of mine, was the fall of the monarchy precipitated. For months prior to November, lt-'Si, there had been a continual struggle between the legis lature and the queen as to their respect ive rights, and only the remarkable self possession of the respectable and re sponsible men of the islands prevented an outbreak at an earlier day.
