The United States steamer Charleston,
Captain Remey, arrived in port shortly be-
fore noon yesterday, after passage of nine
days from Honolulu. She arrived off the
harbor on Wednesday afternoon, but had to
stand on and off on account of the bar
breaking badly. Pilot Alec Svenson brought
the cruiser in and says that she behaved
splendidly in the heavy seas on the
bar. She rolled hardly at all, but dipped
easily up and down. The Swatara met the
Charleston inside the heads, saluted her and
escorted her up the harbor to an anchorage.
As the vessels passed up the stream the
Swatara fired salute of twenty one guns in
honor of King Kalakaua aud another
twenty-one guns as a salute to the Admiral.
When the war-yes5els came to anchor the
crew of the Swatara manned the yards.
Both the Charleston and Swatara flew the
Hawaiian flag at the main and the Ameri-
can ensign at their gait end. When the
King left the Charlie iton salute of twenty
one guns was fired, he Hawaiian flag was
hauled down and the Admral'S flag substi-
tuted. The King came to the steps at the
foot OF Clay street in a twelye-oared barge.

change yesterday from New York says that
