The Queen has been placed under surveillance. 26,000 Japanese are inclined, to side with the Royalists. Washington, January 22. Mr R. E. Hitt, the Republican member for Illinois, introduced the question of this revolution in the Congress as an argument in favour of the American cable, opposing a concession to anything English.

The Senate Ignored a motion similar to Mr Hitt's and also one in favour of the annexation of Hawaii. January 23.
