NEWS FROM HAWAII,
War Preparations Continued The Car
win Arrive Everything Quiet.
Hoxolulc, Dec. 13. 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.

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.
