New Chs"ess Departure.
SAN FRANCISCO. August 30th.-
The Chinese steamer Ho Chung ar.
rived this afternoon from Canton,
via Honolulu. She landed about
four hundred and fifty Chinese
passengers at Honolulu. 1t will
depend upon the instructions Of
her commander, relative to the
length Of his stay in port, whether
she will pay extra duties and dis.
charge cargo at once, or await the
action of the United States gov
ernment on the question. The pro-
Chinese party, headed by Cesar
Celso Moreno, evidently succeeded
in capturing King Kalakus, al
though the great majority Of the
Legislature and the better portion
OF the foreign and native popula-
tion and press strongly opposed
them. The King dissolved two
Cabinets opposed to his wishes,
and formed q third, headed by
Moreno. In the meantime the
leading commercial interests have
signed petitions to the foreign
minesters and other officials, and
brought SO strong q pressure to
bear, that the King found it neces.
sary to Withdraw from his posi-
ton; and Moreno and bis confrerss,
after five days leave of power,
gave up their portfolios. The prin.
cipal point at issue was the ques-
tion Of subsidizing line of chi
nese steamers, Moreno being sent
to the Island by the Chinese to
further purposes.
