Nov. 11. The State and
Nuvy departments arc cxtromcly reticent
regarding the action to bo taken In carrying
out the policy announced on the Hawaiian
question. The Navy department professes
to know nothing of any order Issued to carry
out the restoration of the queen. If the
United State * minister has instructions to
carry out such a policy ho can call on the
navy to nclp. But in that case it would de
volve upon Minister Willis the duty of pre
senting his credentials to the proscnt govern
ment and then proceeding to depose It from
power. This embarrassment Is pointed out
by persons conversant with diplomatic
methods as sutllclcut to preclude that method
of procedure.
There arc embarrassments in another pos
sible course that has bcun suggested , which
is that Minister Willis may have been accred
ited in Llltuokakinl herself and the former
government. Secretary Grcsham argues
that the provisional government expires by
its own limitation , and might Involve tno Ig
noring of the present government , but the
present government has boon equally recog
nized by the United States as the govern
ment , do Jure. Thuso are only speculations ,
but nro suggested by persons well versed in
the possible course of such u question.
InntructloiiH In Minister Willis.
It Is probable that tlio Instructions of Min
ister Willis will to folmu to be to ascertain
if tlio provisional government In Hawaii will
consent to retire pcaceab'y and make way
for the restoration of Queen Lilluokalani ,
yielding to the employment only of such
moral suasion as this onlclal request from
the United States minister may carry. If
it refuses to yield to this pressure Minister -
tor Willis is probably empowered only to
wait for further instructions.
A steamer sails from Honolulu today and
will arrive in-Ban Francisco , according to
schedule time , a week from today , Novem
ber 18. Minister Willis was auo to arrive
in Honolulu last Saturday , November 4.
Ho will therefore have been there a
week when the steamer Balls from San Fran
cisco today. This would give lime for Min
ister Willis to have taken some action in
accord wltti J'is instructions before she
sails.
Frank P. Hastings , secretary of the Ha
waiian legation , declines to express an
opinion , as ho had received no ofllclal notifi
cation of anyehango between the two gov
ernments. If Instructions have boon given
to M'nlstcr ' Willis to depose the government
ho represents he points out that there Is
nothing In Seciotary CJrcshara's letter to
allow tlio fact.
IJnltml Suites Vessels at Honolulu.
Tlio United States la now represented in
Honolulu by the flagship Philadelphia and
the corvette ICcarsarge , They are regarded
as sufficient to en force any contention of
this government. So far lib known no stops
have been taken by the Navy department to
reinforce them In anticipation of trouble fol
lowing , the execution of the now policy of
the United States. In en so ranro ships are
needed , which Is regarded by some people-as
n strong probability , tlio Yorktown is
at Oallao , the Alliance at La Libertad
and the Monterey , Mohican and
Hanger at San Francisco , all of which
vessels could bo concentrated at Honolulu in
from twn to four weeks time. As already
said , however , the authorities do not scorn
to think it necessary to Increase our light
ing strength at Honolulu. All told , the
lorco of blue jackets and marines , with
commissioned , noncommissioned and war
rant ofilcers , numbers COS men. The Phila
delphia has forty-eight officers , ! )10 ) men and
furty marines ; the Adams thirteen oflKers ,
I'M mdn and eighteen marines. For active
land operations it is understood th it not
rnoro than 800 ofllccra and men would bo
available , hut this numuer , with accessions
from the royalist ranks , would certainly bo
more than ample to cope with the present
uinull forceof the provisional government.

AV-isinxoTON , Nov. 11. Expressions of
opinion by public , men now In Washington
upon Secretary Oresham's letter in the
Hawaiian affair are varied and numerous.
Some emphatically approve the sentiment
expressed In the already famous cplsodo and
others denounce it with great vohcmonco.
Senut'ir Mo re.in Not 1'lcnged.
Senator Morgan , chairman of the commit-
tea on foreign relations , Is not at all well
pleased at the turn affairs have taken In * the
Hawaiian situation , At a banquet given in
honor of Secretary Carlisle by the United
States senators , shortly after the treaty
with the provisional government had been
sent to the senate by President Harrison ,
Senator Morgan made a speech in
which ho commouded the action and
ex pressed hopes of great things ot the
United State ; , government in Us now acqui
sition , which ut that time seemed as good as
made. Ho was then on the eve of his
departure to Paris as ono of the Hering sea
arbitrators , ( to expressed the nope that
when he returned the Hawaiian matter
would bo settled and the American Hag
would bo floating over a most valuable
acquisition , Today , ho said , this govern
ment could not rcstoro the queen. Two
administrations had recognized the pro
visional government and accepted its repre
sentatives and It could not restore the
former condition. Mr. Morgan said ho had
his viowa on tlio question , hut it was not for
a senator and member of the committee on
foreign relations to say anything about the
action the government had taken or the
course it would pursue in the future.
Coiicrc.im.ui uiu * opinion.
Congressman Hltt of Illinois , who was
assUtaut secretary of state in 1831 when
Secretary Dlalno , in a dispatch to United
States Minister Comly , defined the policy of
this government toward Hawaii , who was
chairman ot the house committee on foreign
affairs of the Fifty-first congress and a
member of the foreign affairs committee of
the proscnt house of representatives , said
today ;
"I bcllovo the policy of interference by
our government In behalf of a monarchy ,
and a discredited ono at that , one that wont
down In a violent effort of the queen to
overthrow the Hawaiian constitution , Is
Contrary to every tradition and linpulso of
the American people.
L "As to the question of voracity between
this administration on ono slcto and Minister
Stevens , Captain Wiltr. ( now dead ) and the
live commissioners on the other side , all of
whom were witnesses , wo ought to have
very full testimony before 'holding them
guilty of false stalcnnnts and a conspiracy
to bo carried out by force and fraud. Mr.
Stevens bore a high character as n discreet
ana able representative of this government.
Asa fact , ho was In another Island , and dtd
not reach Honolulu until about noon of Sat
urday , the day of the quson's violent demon
stration. The meeting on Monday , January
10 , of alarmed citizens Is said to have bccu
the most important in number and character
over hold in the islands , representing prop
erty and business of all kinds , and tno
diplomatic correspondence states that there
wore many applications from Americans to
the minister to have marines landed to pro
tect American Interests and preserve order.
Not n Sccrotly'Contrlvcil Conspiracy.
"This does not look like .a secretly con
trived conspiracy by Uio American minister
and American commander to overthrow n
friendly government by suddenly landing
armed forces.
"The American people would have hut one
opinion if they learn by the nest steamer
landing at San Francisco that this cast-off
monarchy has boon sot up again by our
armed forces , perhaps amid bloodshed , and
the provisional government , whoso chief of-
funso seems to bo that it is friendly to
the United States and American Interests
overthrown. The instructions from our
State department by Webster , Mnrcy ,
livarts , Dlaino , Frelllnghuysen and Bayard
have held ono tone. Our ministers have
been instructed to encourage rather than
discourage sentiments favoring the United
States and its interests and to impress upon
that government the overwhelming supe
riority of the interests of the United States
In the islands as compared with those of
other nations , and the manifest and ulti
mate destiny of that government annexa
tion. "
VPWM | of O thorn.
Representative Dates said certainly this
government would not ba justified In tak
ing any steps toward the restoration of the
queen if wo were not directly responsible
for her overthrow.
Senator Faulkner of West 'Virginia had
only eianced at Secretary Gresham's letter ,
but inferring that tha main idea was the
restoration of the monarchy in the islands
ho coula not sea how that could bo brought
about by the United States under existing
conditions. "The provisional government Is
the full power there , " ho said. "Tho United
States might do ono of three things it
might keep its hands oft Hawaii ; proceed to
annex it or declare a protectorate , but how
wo can interfere to restore the monarchy Is
beyond my comprehension. "
Judge Turner ot Georgia , who Is ono of
the best lawyers in the house , said today ho
was early opposed to the annexation of
Hawaii and was inclined to agree generally
with what tlio secretary of.statosald in con
nection with the Hawaiian affair.
Representative Cobb of Missouri said ho
was opposed to annexation , but that ho did
not think wo ought to inierfero to restore
the queen.
Representative Boatner of Louisiana said
ho did not think this government had any
right to interfere in the former government
of Hawaii and that if the queen was deposed
with the assistance of this government wo
should do everything in our power to correct
the wrong.
Dlsucrecn with tlio Secretary.
James Hyde Pratt of Albany is in the city.
There is a family relationship between
President Cle/eland tnd Mr. Pratt , Mr.
Cleveland's grandfather having been n
brother to Mr. Pratt's mother. Mr. Pratt
has family relationship in the Hawaiian
islands an'd feels much exercised at the
policy toward the Islands enunciated in
Secretary Gresham's lottor. Ho drove out
to Woodloy this afternoon and had a half-
hour talk with the president on the subject.
Ho learned that Mr , Cleveland approves
thoroughly and wholly of Secretary
Gresham's letter and all that is contained in
It. Mr. Pratt has lived much in the islands
and does not at all agrco with Secretary
Gresham's ideas or with his belief as to the
fact's of the caso. Ho stated to the presi
dent that Mr. Gresham's letter read
to him like a special plea of an
advocate for Ills caso. His statomcnt
that the deposition 'of the qisoon was ac
complished by aliens was sufficient to dis
credit the w.holo letter , to his mind , for ho
had knowledge that the most of the loaders
of the revolution were Hawailans born and
the parents of many of thorn were Hawalhn
born , though of foreign parents. Ho urged ,
also , that the best natlvos approved of the
present government and only the disorderly
clement desired its overthrow. Ho stated
to the president his belief that in order to *
re-establish the queen upon the throne it
would bo necessary to disarm every whlto
man in the Islands , Ho did not believe ths
queen could bo maintained on the throne a
day without the Ir.lluenco of the armed
forces or authority of the United States.
Minister Stevens and Captain Wiltz did no
more , ho asserted , than had been authorized ,
by the instructions of Secretary Bayard to
Minister Merrill in July , 1837 , for guidance
in a similar psrioJ of disorder ,
Cleveland U KnlUlleil.
At this point the president asked Mr.
Pratt whether ho thought ho had as good
opportunities of Information of the subject
as ho ( the president ) , after a careful Inves
tigation and study of the subject for eight
months , Mr , Pratt rejoined ho thought ho
had , slnco iio had been in intimate communi
cation by corrcspoDdcnco and otherwise for
thirty years , The president closed the in
terview by snyins ; ho hud absolute faith in
the accuracy of all conclusions drawn by
Secretary Greslmm and that minister Ste
vens and Captain Wit 2 had committed an
act of usurpation and done a wrong to a
helpless pov/er , which it was the duty of the
United States government to undo.

There was a dense fog ycstoiday and during

There was a field day of the Berlin Geographical
graphical society yesterday at its hall on
Wilholmstrassc , when a banquet was given
to Urs. von irygolski ) , von HolTen nnd
Stadt , who have Just returned from an ex
ploring trip to Greenland. Prof. Bosso presided -
sided , nnd in his address of welcome to the
returned explorers ho declared their peace
ful labors wore symbolical of Germany's pol
icy. Germany , the professor continued , was
an cmpiro of peace , and that explained the
universal respect felt for her.
The German expedition to Greenland was
dispatched last year by the Geselschaft Erd-
kuntle of Berlin , under the direction of Dr.
von Drygolshi , who was accompanied by the
other two explorers mentioned. The Ger
man party recently returned to Denmark hi
the brig Constance , after having spent
a year studying the inland ice of
Greenland. The expedition left Co
penhagen on May 1 , 1892 , in
the bark Peru , nnd in the following Juno
reached the Uinomak river on the west coast
of Greenland in latitude TCP 25 minutes
north. At this point a scientific station was
constructed on thocdgeof the inland ice , and
at the beginning of August , the station
being ready , systematic work was coXi-

meteorological resources und-Dr. von Hoffen
conducted the oologlcal studies. Tno expe

Another ( .ambling Scnnclil.
The statement of the Associated press
that it was probable there would bo an
other sensational trial , in which the
parties implicated are charged with gam
bling frauds similar to those disclosed dur
ing the recent trial and conviction of Lion-
tenant Maycrlck and his associates , turns
out correct In every point. The newly un
earthed gambling frauds will shortly occupy
the attention of the criminal tribunal
of Hanover. The first hearing Is llxed
for November 15 , but the case will
bo adjourned in order to enable the
authorities to complete their inquiries into
the alleged frauds. The chief defendants
are again Horron Sussman ana M. Juluus
and Max Uosenburg. The remaining per
sons compromised nro fifteen in number and
Include two women. A novel feature of the
coming trial will bo the charge against a
man who was formerly a horse dealer and
who Is now living in retirement upon a good
income and who is accused ot conspiring
with ono of the women , since dead , to ex
tort excessive usury under the veil of the
sale of horses to ofllccrs of the army. In
connection with the recent trial n man
named Stamcr , who was subsequently men
tioned during the proceedings , has just sur
rendered to the police. Stumer was iv com
mercial traveler employed by n wino merchant -
chant of Maycnco. Ho was abroad nt the
time of the trial and so escaped arrest.
The liberal and democratic proas continues
its endeavors to make political capital out of
the trial by directing its remarks more
against the agrarians and junkers than
against the actual defendants.

of the state of affairs.
"Tho news already published that came

Reports about the operations In the pro

Hio tto Janerio correspondent say
that every two or three days , for
some time past , there has been an
artillery duel between the loyal and rebel
forts , in which the ships of Mello's squadron
rarely join. Fort Vlllegalgnon , which took
up Mello's : ausu after the revolt began , has
suffered severely in these duels so far as its
light barrack buildings are concerned , but
the fort proper is uninjured and the bomb
proof quarters for the men nro stilfiutact ;
not a gun has been dismounted.
A lad who has'come nshoro from the fort
says tliat tno members of the jjarnson are
well and-confldfcnt ot success. . , They have
had only fUteeh nlcn killed slnco the flchting
began , and three of those deaths were
caused by the bursting of ono of their own

since the revolution began.

One big shell was seen by the Herald cor

It is reported that Polxoto has now nearly
finished his balloon work , on which ho has
been proceeding for some time , from which
ho expects to bo- able to drop a charge of
dynamite upon Admiral Mollo's llagshlp ,
the Aquldaban. This balloon experiment
will bo attended with no slight risk to the
foreign vessels in the harbor , and their com
manders do not feel at all comfortable over
the idea of having n dynamlto-laden balloon
floating above their ships with Mello's
sharpshooters firing nt it in nn endeavor to
brine it down anywhere but upon their own
heads.
Sympathy for Stuntnn.
The recall of the American indmlral has
caused general rcgrat in Uio , The Herald
correspondent says Admiral Stantan was
well liked by his men and ho in return was
deeply interested in their wolfaro. It is
generally thought in Hio that his fault , if
any , was trilling , nnd at most only a ques
tion of courtesy , Brazil's government com
plained to the authorities In Washington
without the knowlejgo. it h said , of the
American minister in Uio. and .ho know
nothing of the affair until the or
der came for Hear Admiral Stan-
ton's recall. The opinion is freely
oxuresscd In Uio that the American govern
ment acted hastily in the matter , and that
if It had investigated all the circum
stances throroughly the result might have
been different.
There Is a movement on foot among Brazil-
tans to memorialize the American govern
ment on the subject , hut Minister Thompson
says ho will have nothing to do with It.
It is reported hero that the principal
object of Minister Montolro's journey is to
purchase arras and ammunition for the
loyal Brazilian ships , Desterro and Santos ,
now in thin harbor. Ho proposed buying
one or two of Argentina's men-of-war , bat
the government declined to part with thctn.
Twice h'urprUeil.
The report which has reached hero from
New York that the vessels purchased there
by Pelxoto will leave that port under the
American flag causes much astonishment
and is generally doubted.
Word has just bucn received from the
Herald's correspondent in Hio do Janeiro
that all the banks were closed today and that
the bombardment of the ctt.y by Admiral
Mcllo was renewed.

Mgr. Satolli , the papal delegate to the

that the story of tlio Volks

that the pope desires Mgr. Satolli in the
United States until -mission is com
pleted.
The Volks Xeltung also asserted that the
present papal nuncio at The Hague was to
replace Mgr. Satolli as a papal dolcgato to
the United States. Inquiries at the Vatican
show this statement to ba absolutely devoid
of truth. Mgr. Satolli has announced to
the Vatican that ho is about to take pos

has been purchased for him by ttm Ameri

PAIIII , Xov. 11. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to Tun Bp.K.J Kach coun
try of Europe just now Is taking its turn lit
occupying the , attention of public opinion.
A whllo ago all eyes wore turned to Franco ,
whoso Uiml.in fetes were the cynosure ot
Europe. Then came the turn of Italy , whoso
financial embarrassment caused much inter
national excitement. Now it Is Spain that
all ICuropo Is eagerly watching , and whoso
situation at bath homo and abro.id has sud
denly become very puzzling.
The preparations for thu expedition for the
relief of Mcltlla nro proceeding slowly.
There are already M,000 soldiers ntMolllIa ,
but they are unable to force the Moors to
raise the siege of that place because tha
Moors are on a territory which belongs to
the sultan of Morocco. If the Spaniards go
outof their fortifications , u distance of barely
six mlles , they will bo practically declaring
war against the sultan of Morocco ami In
vading his territory , something which may
prove very dango rou < < from an international
point of view. They remain behind their
fortifications.
Her sitlmlltHi Serious.
Tlio numbers of their enemy Increase
daily while their own ranks are being deci
mated l > y disease. In addition to all this tha
preparation for the Molllla expedition ha
revealed how defective is the military
organization of Spain. The Barcelona
dynamite outrage proves that the anarchists
are well organized in Spain and that the
police of that country are very weak. Never
was criminal audacity pushed further and
never was public execration of the crim
inals greater. Martial law has now been
proclaimed in Barcelona and the constitu
tional rights of Catnlogniu have been sus
pended , but all this will not prevent the re.
curronco of similar outrages , and if this
happens the minis try will be overthrown.
If the Spaniards should suffer a reverse irt
Morocco the monarchy would bo overthrown.
The queen regent is pursuing a policy of hep
own , which leans toward the Triple Alli
ance , a fact which Is duo to her being na
Austrian. This complicates the situation ,
and it is not in the least exaggerating tha
situation to say that wo may shortly expect
serious events to transpire in Spain.

S , Nov. 11. A high Spanish police of
ficial has arrived hero on a special mission
connected with the recent dynamite bomb
outrage at Barcelona. Several arrests of
French anarchists suspected of complicity
in the Lycco theater explosion nro expected
today , nnd It is believed that the investiga
tion now In progress will result in disclosure *
showing that the anarchists of Kuropo
are acting in concert and that all recent
dynamite outrages and conspiracies have
been carefully planned by a central commit
tee whoso headquarters are not yet known.
Important documents which prove the con
nection between the Kuropc.iu anarchists
beyond a doubt arc now , according to state
ments mnuo by the Austrian authorities , la.
thu possession of the Vienna polico.
BAIIOCLONA , Nov. 11.Aragon , the French
anarchist , who is ono of the men arrested on
suspicion of uelng connected with the out
rage at the Lycco theater , turns out to have
been a friend of Pallas , the anarchist who
nas executed for attempting the life of General - -
eral Campos.
The lodgings of the French anarchist were
searched shortly after his arrest and photo
graphs of the Chic.igo anarchists and other
anarchistic prints were found , The police
also seized documents which led them to bo-
llovo the bombthrowcra were leagued with
a gang of thievesas when the paniu stricken
audience rushed from the theater on the
night of the explosion , numerous attempts
to snatch purses , etc. , wore made. So muuh
arni has been caused among the theater
going public by the dlsestcr at the Lycco ,
that the places of amusement In the city
have been almost deserted over slnco.
