WHAT THE ROYALISTS CLAIM They Say Queen Lilioukalani Mus,t Be Restored or the Islands Annexed. , Associated Press. San Francisco, Nov. 18. The steam ship Australia arrived from Honolulu this morning with information that no vnusual occurrence disturbed the course of affairs at Hawaiian Islands. Min ister Willis had presented his creden tials In due form to the provisional government, and had been received as the accredited representative of the United States, He had not made pub lic his instructions from the United States. Secretary Gresham's letter had not been received nor heard of. No one at Honolulu has heard anything about the restoration of the queen be ing intended by President Cleveland. There was no talk of bloodshed or re sistance. The provisional government Is not maklngi special preparations to protect Itself by force against the re turn to power of the queen, and has not received any large invoice of arms. In speaking of his mission Mr. Willis declared to an Associated Press repre-. sentatlve that . his instructions wolil l not be known until officially handed to the provisional government. "I will say this much," concluded the minister, "that there Is absolutely no founda tion for the various rumors afloat since my arrival, as to what I am empowered to do or not to do. There are but two or three men, even in Washington, who know what my Instructions are. I must positively decline to state at present whether I carry an ultimatum or a new treaty or what." The provisional' government claims to bo as much "in the dark as everybody else, though" it has leaked out wlthlri i he last few hours from a very reliable source that the new minister will ne gotiate a new treaty with the provision al government, which will place the Islands virtually under the protection of the United States. It is understood that when completed this treaty will be at once submitted to the United States senate with Cleveland's message. In the mean time the United States will see that matters remain in statue quo both internally and externally. The royalists, If they find their cause hope less, may try something desperate. The United States seems bent on keeping peace at all hazards, though if it came to trouble, it would probably be virtual ly settled before troops could be landed from the warships. The government relies upon the citizens' reserve guard in case of trouble, and are confident they will not be disappointed. There is no doubt the organization of the citi zens' guard, now numbering over 400 men, had a very salutary effect on the unsettled state of . tho country. The royalists, on the other hand, claim there is not and never has been, any danger except that worked up in the imagina tions of the annexationists. Their lead ing men say that they are confident the ex-queen will be restored because the United States must either annex the Islands or restore the old government. THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON. But Gresham Refuses to Make It Pub- 11s at Present. Washington, Nov. 18. The news from Hawaii was eagerly sought for by of ficials at Washington. Associated Press bulletins on the subject contained the first news the president received. He read them with much interest, but de clined to say anything touching the matter. Gresham seemed greatly sur prised, but absolutely refused to express any opinion. His entire manner Indi cated he did not consider the news reliable, or that he entertained an opinion that it did not cover the eijtlre situartlon. It Is more apparent than ever that there will be extreme disap pointment if Willis' dispatches do not convey Information of some positive 6lep on his part, looking to the resto ration of the queen. As going to explain the apparent in credulity of the secretary of state, it should be stated that Willis is not ex pected by the department of state to make his instructions public or disclose the intentions of our government frm the house top. Minister Thurston would express no opinion for publication. He said he was much pleased to hear the provis ional government was in authority. This afternoon Gresham received the official advices, but refuses to make them public at present. .Dispatches from Honolulu render it very evident that the people there, probably Including Hawaiian officials, were, up to the time of the sallln? of the Australia, In entire ignorance 'f the decision reached by the president , and his secretary of state, that Llllou kalani should be restored. Instead of receiving such Intimation from Willis, the provisional government appears to have been led to bellevs that the pres ent relations were to be In no way dis turbed. All this goes to confirm the theory that Willis discovered a state of affairs In Hawaii which hla instructions-did not anticipate. Mr. Willis concluded that the time was not oppor tune for a coup d' etat, and he decided to' take no decisive steps until he could communicate with his home govern ment again and receive further Instruc tions. Surprise is manifested on all sides In government circles at -the in telligence that affair remain unchang ed in Honolulu. This chains the inter est and suspense until the arrival of the n$xt steamer from Honolulu, which Is advertised to sail from Honolulu on Thursday, November 16th. She is due In San Francisco next Thursday. ! . Secretary Gresham said pleasantly at 4:30 o'clock: "You have all the news today, and I have nothing, to give you." . It Is thought Paul Neumann, who Is thaquean's counsel, would convince her that she ran a great risk by accepting the throne without guaranteed protec tion. It is not probable Minister" Willis Is equipped with authority to give such a guarantee, and it U doubtful wheth er ".President Cleveland has in mind tos continue the '.United States protec tion to the queen after she Is restored. Thpe administration evidently has not taen into -consideration the serious opposition to the . restoration of v the iueen, or any hesitancy on her part to resume the throne. At the Hawaiian legation the only private advices was, the-following dispatch from the Hawa iian consul at San Francisco, sent after h had" talked with persons oil the Australia: . "San Francisco, Nov. 18. To ,1. A. Thurston, Hawaiian legation, -Washington: Willis has said or done noth ing. The contents of Gresham's letter are not known.' (Signed) Charles Wil der." WILLIS' CREDENTIALS. Substance of the Letter of Credit from T , , the President. Francisco, Nov. 18.lIonolulu pa pers; of recent date, published full ac counts of the ceremonies attending the presentation of Minister Willis' ere den Mais, and also published the letter of credentials from President Cleveland which were presented by Mr. Willis at the close of his address. Following Is Willis' letter o fcredit: "Grover Cleveland, president of, the United States of America, to his Ex cellency, Sanford B. Dole, president of the provisional government of the Ha waiian Islands: I have made choice of Albert S. Willis, one of our distinguish ed citizens, to reside near the govern ment of your excellency in the quality of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America. He is well informed of the relative Interests of the two countries, and of our sincere desire to cultivate to the fullest extent the friendship which has so long subsisted between us. My knowledge of his high charac ter and ability gives me entire confi dence that he will constantly endeavor to advance the Interest and prosperity cf both governments, and to render himself acceptable to your excellency, I' therefore request your excellency to receive him favorably and to give full credence to what he shall say on the part f the United States, and to the assurances which I have charged him to convey to you of the best wishes of this government for the prosperity of the Hawaiian Islands. May God have your excellency in his wise keep Ing. Written at Washington, this 27th day , of September, in the year 1S93. Your good friend, Grover Cleveland." .HAND LINO THE NEWS. A Remarkable Performance by the As sociated Pres. Chicago, Nov. 18. The handling of the news brought by the steamer Aus tralia from Honolulu -was one of the most remarkable achievements in news annals. The Australia arrived Inside r-an Francisco harbor at 9:20 a. m., San Francisco time, or 11:20 central time.

The first canal boat In the world to. be propelled by eleetrl-lty ploughed throrgh the waters of the Erie Canal this morning. New York state added another victory to progress. If power can be obtained fum Niagara, as suggested It can be, fifty cents per day will get power for a onnal boat that It takes four mules and two men to give It now.

Five cents brings a bushel of wheat from the wheat fields to the metropolis. The test of the new method of propulsion was made on the ; Plttsford level.

It Is said it was capable of towing six ; ether boats at a gr.od rate of speed. i THEIR LIVES DESPAIRED OF. M News from the Party Sent to Rescue t ! Young Carlin. Spokane, Nov. 18. A Review special from Mlssoulu, says: "A courier has been sent back to Fort Missoula from the government relief party that start ed out some time ago to search for Gen eral Caiitn's son, with Information that a ' permanent camp had been estab llthcd about three miles above Lolo liot Springs, forty-five miles from this city. The snow at this point Is seven fett deep, and considerable difficulty was experienced In hauling wagons and supplies Into camp. The weather has been unusually severe at the head quarters of the Clearwater during the just few days, and the ImpresBion is gaining ground that all aUempts to II ml and rescue the imprisoned men will prove failures. Indian hunters Imvu long since been driven from the -mountains by the severity of the storms, and In numerous cases have, been obliged - to sacrifice their horses In order to effect an escape, and It Is, not regarded es' Ukely that a party of pleasure seekers composed principally of men unused to privations, would be be able to long survive the hardships.
