UNRELlABILITY OF CABLEGRAMS.

Cablegrams received from the
other side Of dividing oceans and
seas, are attended with considerable
expense; and, in order to make them
worth sending, exaggerations and
colorings are often given to these
dispatches that render them unre-
liable, although eagerly read. Els
pecially is this the case with cable
grams sent to Australasia, and the
following are samples received by
the progressive colonists of the
Greater Britain on the south jde
Of the equator:
The difficulty between the Govern
ments of Great Britain and the United
States of America, with reference to the
action taken by the former to conserve
her interests in the northwestern waters
on the Alaskan side of the Behring sea,
has been amicably settled.
There is great excitement in British
Columbia owing to the decisionts arrived
at by England to protect the sealers.
Torpedo boats are being fitted to protect
the harbour of Victoria, Vancouver
Island.
The Irish residents in San Francisco,
are agitating for the establishment of an
Irish Republic in California.
A body of troops put step to the pro-
posed prize fight between j. l.. Sullivan
and Jake Kilrane in America.
The wave which swept down the Cone
maugh Valley and overwhelmed Johns
town is described as being So. high,
rushing along with awful force an carry
ing all before it.
To add still further to til eyag
geration and unreliability of many
cablegrams received by our cousins
of Australasia, the newspaper COM
ments are sometimes similar to the
following clipping from the Fiji
Times:
The mail brings us intelligence of fear
full floods in America by which $4,000
victims have lost their lives, property is
destroyed to the value of eight millions
sterling, and $4,000 unfortunates among
the survivors are left perfectly destitute.
And, we are told at the same time of a
hurricane at Hongkong which has sud-
denly sent 10000 of our species to their
final account.

The Opera House is very much
damaged in the roof. and also portions
of the interior. Grapnel shells burst in
the upper portions of the structure tear
ing and slashing everything in their
way. One grapnel shell passed through
the front door, and flew over the audi
tory to the Kings box, behind which it
exploded with destructive effect. Four
of the front windows had several panes
of glass smashed in each, and the front
wall and door are pitted and riddled
with the effects of shot. Several of
these marks will be difficult to efface,
and the internal damage will involve
many expensive repairs.
The injuries to the Palace and Govern
ment buildings are comparatively slight.
Several of the Palace windows were
broken by bullets; and, what is called
the chambers" room of the Supreme
Court, on the second story, had also one
OF its windows broken by bullets from
Kawaiahao church steeple. The marks
of two of these missiles have made strik-
ing appearance on the wall; and, until
they are filed up, stare the Court in the
face when important issues are under its
consideration.
Several grapnel shells fell in the lower
part of the city and inflicted damage to
private dwellings and other buildings.
An inquest is in progress on the bodies
of those killed in the riot, and we learn
that the wounded are progressing favor
ably.
A report reached US Tuesday pm. that
Robert Boyd had died of his wounds;
but we have had no confirmation, and
hardly believe it. Later we learn that
this story has no foundation but on the
contrary, Boyd is improving.
Another report about Robert Boyd is
to the effect that he was improving at
p. H. Wednesday, The "dead" story is
wholly disbelieved.
Repairs will have to be effected on the
Opera House and the Queens bungalow,
and tradesmen are now on the outlook
for these jobs. 1t is bad wind that
blows good to nobody, however smoky it
may be.
About dozen dray loads of ammuni-
ton and guns were sent from the Palace
to the Police Station between 7 and
a. m. Wednesday. That Was step in the
right direction which should have been
taken before.
A large armed force was placed over
the ammunition and guns at the Police
Station to guard against any attack that
might be made.
A Cabinet meeting was held Wednes-
day, at which it is expected matters
connected with Tuesdays riot were con-
sidered. Our reporter found the Mar
shall silent Wednesday afternoon when
questions were put relative to the Palace
arrests, and our representative was re-
ferred to the Attorney General. Queer.

EDITORIALS.

The events of Tuesday, July 30th
last must needs be chronicled.
This is the first time, in the history
of civilized Hawaii, that an Insured
ton have shaken their cory locks
at constitutional reform, and assayed
to destroy the Government and the
peace of our hitherto peaceful isles.
It is the first time that Treason has
drawn its sword and spilled the blood
of Hawaiians, in a vain attempt to
overthrow the lawful Government of
the Kingdom. And this is the work
of two or three men, on whom this
Government has spent some twenty
thousand dollars to give them a
foreign military education-for
what?-to destroy the peace of Ha-
wall by seducing a few score OF
deluded men to join them in raising
the standard of revolution? No
language that can be used Will con-
vey the detestation in which they
should be held, or can portray the
ingratitude and baseness of their
acts. They are guilty of treason, and
stand before the country convicted
as traitors, deserving only the traitors
doom-prompt death. No further
evidence of guilt is needed than theil
acts of that day They are self-con
victed criminals, and as such let the
leaders be hung, without one day.
delay. The severity of such punish
ment will forever intimidate other
from engaging in similar rebellion
Nothing short of this will secur
peace to the country, and this mus
and shall be maintained, at al
hazards.

We are glad to be able to contra
dict the report which was certainly
current Tuesday, and was strength
ened no doubt by the fact that some
of the royal household were riding
through the streets early in the day
decked with wreaths. At such a
time as this, such a display was out
of place. Various reports were also
current that it was Wilcox's plan to
ask the King to abdicate, and then
proclaim Liliuokalani Queen, and he
become her private minister. This
may or may not have been his pur-
pose, which happily has not been
carried out. And it is to be hoped
he may be placed where there can
be no danger Of harm from him in
future

Before closing some notice should
be taken of the two native papers,
the Elele and Oiaio, which have been
urging the natives on to make de-
mands, and to demand changes
which they have no right to do, utter
ing falsehoods and irritating state
ments which have eliminated in this
recent outbreak. We have simply
to say to the conductors Of these
journals that there is a point
beyond which it is not safe to pro-
coed, and it will be wise to heed this
advice. The peace of Hawaii MUST
AND SHALL BE PRESERVED, and all at
tempts to instigate popular insur-
rections must be put stop to,
"peaceably if it can be, forcibly if it
must"

Casualties of Tuesdays Riot.

The Queens bungalow suffered most !;
and it is terribly shattered by the giant
powder bombs, especially in the roof and
second story. The furniture, of this
portion of the building, some of
which was rare and valuable, was utterly
ruined; and the whole structure was
most destructively shaken sn1 riddled
with shot.

legitimate authority, but this peace
can only be permanently maintained
by promptly executing justice on the
leading offenders, and perhaps par
doning the dupes. If the law is not
strong enough to secure their con-
viction and punishment, then some
other means must be resorted to,
for these conspiritors cannot be per
mitted to go free and resume their
seditious tactics, under any circum-
stances whatever. The peace of
Hawaii demands justice in this case.
It is limited that no Hawaiian jury
will convict Wilcox aud Boyd. If
they fail to do it, some punish
ment will be melted out to them.

1HE TiOU, OF 1uSuff0CGlOu DIS IL may
be more properly termed, which
commenced on Tuesday morning,
terminated before dark, as stated
Wednesday, by the unconditional
surrender of the principal leaders,
Wilcox and Boyd, who are chiefly re-
sponsible for it and for the damage
resulting therefrom. These mis-
guided young men were adopted as
the wards of the nation, under the
Gibson regime, sent to Italy, and
given as good an education in mill
tary science and tactics as it was
possible to obtain under the tutilage
of the best instructors Of the Italian
government, which generously ad-
mitted them to the privileges of
native born italian youths. This
education was accompanied with a
most lavish expenditure of money on
the part of the Hawaiian Govern
ment. The baseness of their con-
duct shows them to be utterly unfit
for any public recognition, and de-
serving only of the severest penalty
which can be inflicted.
The most gratifying fact connected
with the disturbance is this, that it
was subdued by the ordinary force
of the Government, without calling
in assistance from the naval YES
sci in port, and in the short space of
twelve hours after the public an
nouncement of its commencement.
The Government relies for its pro-
lection and that of the people on the
Household troops, the four rifle
companies and such volunteers as
may offer their services. These
numbered perhaps 400, and proved
amply sufficient to quell the out
break. The household troops were
on duty at the barracks, in the pal
ace building, and at the Kings boat
house, where he was staying. Those
in the palace under Major Parker
stood nobly at their post, and de-
serve some special recognition for
their unyielding bravery, when pit
ted against their own countrymen.
The work of the few sharpshooters
stationed in the Opera House which
overlooked the palace grounds and
the four pieces of cannon planted in
front, will demonstrate the value
of this arm of military force in
silencing the battery as it did, driv-
ing off the rebels from their work Of
loading and firing the cannon. Had
it not been for these few men at the
outset, the artillery used by the
rebels might have destroyed the
Opera House, Government building'
and other buildings within theil
range. Unfortunately they hat
an ample supply of ammunition tx
have kept them at work for severa
days, if they had had the men ant
provisions to keep up the struggle
Many blamed the Government TO
not rushing things" just as soon a
the instruction broke out. Som
would have proclaimed martial Law
others would have issued proclama
tions calling all citizens to arms
Instead of this, it relied on it's owl
