What Did Me Mean, AajkoaT
Feme say that the movement wns tLe

annexers. a step abandoned because the
provisional government's army of 400 men
is well armed with repeating rifles, and
was understood to be rearty to flyht any
(one who attempted to interfere with the
annexers; mat me instructions to nuns
did not authorize him to use actual force,
and that all he could do was to "make a
bluff." Others say the crews were ready to
put dewn an expected attempt of the roy
alists to overthrow the nunexers, Willis
having order to maintain the status quo.

GRESHAM HIMSELF SURPRISED.

Mewa Soaae Mara Baataaatiaaa.
One thing is certain and that is that
Secretary Gresham was surprised at the
news of the Icontinuation of the provision
al government. There wss a good deal of
running to and fro In ths departments
after the news was received, end when
things settled down the order of ths day
was "silence." At any rate nothing not
even ao opinion could be gotten oat of
any d. partment official. Vat explsns
ton of the peculiar situation is that llln
later Willis bad! something for ths private
ear oi rtesideet uoie alter they had ex
eh: a the sugary compliments demand
! sd by diplomatic nsage and that hs was
expected to be quiet about ths buslnei
and negotiate tor the stepping down of
aonexers sub rose, as it were.
Another explanation Is that the instruc
tioos to Willis did not involve the nse of
force and that ' when be found Dole
loaded (or lnterierers ' be concluded to
wait and scud home for more Instructions.
Landing troops at Honolulu with unkind
ryth-iugbts intent regarding the govern
ment which we tave and do recognise
would be a very serious matter and might
take on a -phase in which other powers
would take a haul. There le another ex
nlanation: Willis may have found It Im
practicable to put the queen back In power
because she refused to go back without
the armed protection of the United States
against the annexers and he could not
guarantee this protection.
