considered speedy cutter and should make it from honolulu easy in eleven days she is a faster boat than the hush and ray conviction is eliat willis held the corwin at least two days after tho alameda bailed for new zealand this being alie situation ft is more than probable a clash has occurred between the powers and that alio mission of the corwin is to tell the tale of re of overtures by the provisional government it would not surprise for the letters from the oali aers of the philadelphia and adams which are there indicate eliat if the policy is forced on dolo he will resort to arms on board the mohican everything 13 to eail in one days time it bo required all eliat remains to be lone on atie mohican is to replace the ships galley the men aro being thoroughly drilled and today captain dark had a landing party fully equipped for field pervice supported by a hospital corps and field pieces the landing party were out nearly all day skirmishing over alie reservation fehte ia an unusual occurrence ab erp sand since alie now of corwin advent it is whispered there was more in alio landing than a mere drill alie mohicans magazines were replenished yesterday and the coal bun akeia are full to overflowing the significant fact remains that the navy department part ment apprehends trouble and that they are on the alert ie conveyed in the fact that while tho repairs could be made on the cruiser boston which recently went out of commission nothing lias been done and her complement of are being bield ready on buard alic receiving ship independence at the marine barracks excitement was at fever heat when it was said the corwin for a detachment of marenea ma rinea it was learned at the marine barracks eliat the total available strength of the arm bearing force of the

a little brief authority captain hunger of the united states revenue cutter corwin has made himself one of tle most unpopular men on the pacific coast especially has the revenue officer disgusted the newspaper new paper men by his churlishness As a rule men and officers connected with the revenue service cheerfully impart information not in conflict with naval etiquette to newspaper men and the action of hunger toady stands out in dark relief against the white background of years of courteous demeanor on the part of other officers in liis profession the reason for hungers action in to allow any communication with tho vessel is probably chagrin at the fact the sailing of the corwin for honolulu from here was announced in the newspapers two days beffie she sailed hunger made strenuous efforts to conceal the fact he was going to honolulu and even after the newspapers published the news ho emphatically denied honolulu was his destination this bitae ho evidently intends to get even with the newspapers and the public and is taking no chances that will allow information of any kind to leak out no one would think of asking hunger alie contents of official dispatches even if ho knew them which is not probable but the here wonder why a man whoso salary they help to pay should bo so cavalier in his treatment of them they argue that alie news of what has happened in honolulu except that transmitted in the government dispatches is not the private property of the state department or alie wins officers and should not be withheld from them it is believed the corwin brought the answer of the provisional government to willis demand for their surrender eliat reply is undoubtedly already in the hands of the state department at washington and from the present indications washington will have to be looked to for tho news hawaiian consul wilder tonight ex pressed the belief the corwin biad his governments answer und when asked what lie thought that answer was said 1 I think the provisional government has informed willis it considers the hawaiian question in tho fiands of con eress and will submit if at all only to the dictates of that body willis unpublished

it contains the reports from finister Hi nister willis not yet published among them is one dated honolulu november alth in which willis expresses his intention of affording protection to tho queen neither side says willis has alie vaguest idea of tho attitude of our government ern ment and consequently no outbreak has yet occurred though every night is filled with rumors willis bays he declined to give advice to the japanese consul general as to sending to his government for a manof man of war but told him if lie requested it alie united states would extend protection to the japanese people provided they participants non in the trouble in a letter of november 16 willis tells of a visit from alio committee representing alie american league to whom be said it was the duty of all americans at home or abroad to co onerato in executing tho will of their government nothing was said however as to the instructions of our government the last message from willis was dated december 4 after having received Gre shama second bet of instructions based upon the defiant attitude of the provisional government willis bays there have been active defensive preparations for several days otherwise
