harbor OF Honolulu: and 1t appears probable TINT

months. It III said tint tho gallant Admiral is
warm advocate for tho annexation of tho

Lato!y MI OCCASION for Intervention did present
itsolf wllcii, ny tho matters turned out, partook
moro Of the ludicrous than tho tragic, Int which
might have Ind very serious iosults. Tho Ha-
waiian army, horse, foot and artillery, numbers

ing Captain llay bo is not quito clear, but ho Ia
d fnnctioaary Indispensable to tho great Hawaiian
military organization. Well, tic Almy threw off
NIL allegiance to constituted authorities, issued
m ultimatum Hetliug forth that ITO hope Of Il
compromise could DO entertained unless tho OBJ
iocttonnble officers DO removed from their posts.
4 little energy, any show Of decision would
have euiliccd to quefl ths storm in u teapot at
tho very comnlencemcnt; but energy and deci-
sion do not tArlvo at Honolulu. Instead Of tako
ing vigorous measures, tho authorities hesltat
ed, lnado ttmid oyortuteB OF reconciliation, and
altogether proved themselves 30 unequal to tho
situation tllat the nutinoers found to their as-
tonls4mcnt tllnt they wcre positively fearod, and
waxed nudacious accordingly. Prayers were
tried unnvalingly. 1ncnaces woro laughed ut, the
insurgents would not lay down their arms. md
stuck by tho terms they had themselves

teers. Tho volunteers responded promptly,
and were instructed to surround the barracks o.
cupied by tho rebels and reduce tho stronghold
ut all cost. But tho bravo army proved equal to
the emergency. Tho only two eanllons in the
drawn inside tho barracks. mounted, and priulod,
frowned OIL tic approaches at either side. 4
largo stock Of poi, salt fish, dogs, md other
natfvo delicacfcH, had been hid iii, aud thcro
was small Aope Of starving out tho gar
rison. The. volunteers advanced tho army
tlauce, and invited MeDuff nna fliouds TO como
on. The yoluutoors halted, night fell, and
gil vas still. Iho m0rung broke, tho volunteers
fired, would hnye brought on q general melee,
which would probably have developed into
general massacre, for the army made no secret
OF being iil-ulRroeed toward tho whlteR aud
Ind, during its ten days insurBection, int]amed
tllo native populace and worked the Kanalas
ZIP to fever point. Fortunately thero woro two
ships OF war, ono American aud ono Russian in
port. and their presence served as d wholesome
check. 10 roaNno, the Amy had gained the VIC
tory, and seemed Homcwl}at embarrassed to know
what to do with 1t; hut tho truly great are over
merciful. Besides, tho victors, lilo Alexander,
Ind no moro worlds TO conquer; 10 the officers
unanimously ofrerod their designations, which
were promptly accepted. Now, out Of tho
oiglty-tlrco brave haarta forming tile army,
hfty"tlreo were officers, n,,d these disposed OF,
the ploblen which laa 80 puzzled tho Goyern-

health is very bad, which does not surprise those
who knew H'a Majesty a. Prince Bill; and there
IL whisper that Queen Emma-as desorycdly
beloved lady an WAS ever woman in the world
is attackcd with loprosy. Altogether, thcpros-
poets, viewed by native eycn, are gloomy, Tho
