THE Z. =. AND THE SANDWICH
ISLANDS,.

The reciprocity treaty with the United
States has led to revival of business inter
ests in the Sandwich Islands, and one re-
suit Of this has been to compel the govern
ment OF the little kingdom to order new
steamer to ply in the trade among the
Islands. \ considerable party in the Leg
islature were in favor OF sending the order
TO England, but the reciprocity treaty has
strengthened american influence in the
island, and the order was finally sent to
California. The steamer has Just been
completed and has made trial trip. 1t is
OF Oregon fir, l27 feet long, and OF 592 tons
burden. The Californians are proud OF the
vessel, which is the largest sea-going steam
er ever built in their private ship-yards.

United States from the islands OF the Pacific
is n good augury for the future

By Cable to The Inter-Oceanl
The Herald correspondent at Vienna
telegraphs that information has been re-
ceived in that city from a reliable source
that Suleiman Pasha has
SUCCEEDED IN EXPECTING A JUNCTION
with Mehemet Ali between Tjersarora and
Bedrova. This places the Russians in the
face OF really formidable Turkish army.
and will render the utmost exertions neces-
sary on their part to prevent the Turks from
jeorporadizing their whole position IN Bull
garia. The Russians are pushing up their
endorsements and preparing theoretically
for general onslaught on the Turkish posi-
ton. They believe that decisive victory
over the united forces OF Mehemet Ali and
Suleiman Pasha.
WOULD PRACTICALLY END THE CAMPAIGN
while defeat would entail results scarcely
less disastrous for themselves. The Turks
also are very active, and are straining ev-
cry nerve to cope successfully with the
large and well appointed Russian force
which is opposed to them. They have turn
ed up almost their last man, and have evil
IDENTIFY made up their minds to stake every
thing on the issue Of battle. 1t is Dot
thought probable that general battle can
be delayed beyond Tuesday or Wednesday
at the furthest. The Tur Ks are working
vigorously on
THE FoRrIFICATIoN OF GALLIrOLI,
and they are already in forward state of
preparation. One hundred heavy Krupp
guns have been sent there from CONSTANT
nople, and large quantities of provisions
and military stores are being shipped there
The work is being kept up night and day
without intermission. and the place will
soon be in thorough state of defense
The Herald" correspondent at Vienna
also states that the Turish ministers have
declared to the foreign ministers that the
Porte would not make exception to any
foreign power in regard to
THE PASSAGE OF THE DARDANELLEs.
This is understood to refer to the rumored
intention Of England to send ships-of-war

she fears the. might be damaged in the

There is naturally much anxiety felt among

satisfactory to the Indians, and the troops

don their homes and leave the savages as
fine an agricultural country as there is in
