SAN Francisco, Feb. 27.-The United
States flagship Charleston, which
arrived this afternoon from Honolulu,
after passage of ten days, brings word
that the Hawaiian ministry refused to
resign, and that Queen Liliuokalani
has appeated to the supreme court of
Hawaii to GUST them. Affairs are other
wise progressing quietly.
The funeral OF King kalakaua took
place on the 10Th inst. The funeral
ceremonies began in the throne room of
the palace, and the services were accord
ing to the ritual OF the Episcopal
church. The bishop of Honolulu and
all the clergy OF the city participated.
The royal family judges of the supreme
court, privy councillors, mobiles and other
officers of the government and personal
friends of the dead king, were the only
ones present at the services, but the
palace was surrounded by natives. The
remains were taken from the palace to
the church where second services were
held, and the city officials, delegations
from other islands, officers and men
from the vessels in the harbcr and
prominent residents were admitted.
The funeral pageant was the largest
ever seen in the islands. The catafalque
was surmounted by pyramidal dome,
resting on pillars covered with black
cloth entwined with ribbons of silk. At
the top OF each Rpillar waved heavy
black plume with white tips. The cas-
ket was an elaborate piece of native
workmanship. The band from the
Charleston headed the procession, and
was followed by officers and detach-
ment of marines from the Charleston,
the Mohican and British ships, natives
and others. Col. Faukea acted as mar
shall.
At the royal mausoleum the ceremo-
MES were conducted by the bishop of
Honolulu and Master Mason Phillips, a
native choir chanting at intervals.
During the progress of the funeral
cortege minute guns were fired from the
men-of-war in the harbor, and bells
tolled in the city.
The Chronicles Honolulu letter, dated
February 18th, says: Affairs are in a
critical condition. Serious trouble is
certain to come sooner or later. A
threatening anonymous letter was
printed this morning. as an address to
Justice Judd, and warning him that the
queens life was in danger. 1t is an
open secret that the letter was written
by Robert Wilcox, the revolutionist, for
the purpose OF inaugurating public
demonstration against the queen.
Just before the Charleston sailed it
was represented that the queen had
selected new cabinet as follows: Mr..
Wilson, premier and minister OF the
interior; Samuel Parker, Minister of
foreign affairs; Mr.. Curtins, minister Of

age In the Gila valley.
Associated Press Dispatches.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 27.-Dispatches
received by the railroad officials from
Yuma. today, say that every building
in town except the Southern Pacific
hotel and the penitentiary, have been
destroyed by the food. Last night the
Gila and Colorado rivers rose thirty
three feet above low water mark. The
passenger and freight depots were both
flooded, and the water rose to level
with the bridge across the Colorado
river. In order to prevent the bridge
from being carried away by the freight
depot being set afloat, the building was
blown up with dynamite. This morn
ing the river dropped seventeen inches
in one hour, and the Yuma residents
are feeling less anxious. All the country
eastward for twenty miles is under
water, and the Southern Pacific tracks
are washed out for fully that distance.
Trains are running between Ell Paso and
Tucson, but westbound passengers are
held at Tucson.
THE FLOOD AT IT'S HEIGHT.
YUMA, Ariz., Feb. 27.-The water
reached the highest point at II O'Clock
last night. Every business house is
washed down. The convent OF st. Jo-
seph, the A. 0. U. w. hall, the express
and telegraph offices and the postoffice
are leveled to the ground. The railroad
and steamboat Office was swept into the
Colorado river. The railroad ice house
and the track at the foot of Main street
have been washed away. Five hundred
men worked last night to save property,
but met with little success. The town
and property are now guarded by men,
bers of the Yuma rifles, who have been
sworn in as deputy sheriffs. The water
is now falling here, but reports of further
rises have been received from above and
east which, if correct, will entirely
sweep Yuma away. The railroad both
ways is impossible.
THE GILA RISING AGAIN,
CLIFTON, Ariz., Feb. 27.-The river has
risen again. Property is destroyed--
roads demolished, dams and fumes
gone. Work has been suspended by
both the Arizona and Detroit copper
mining companies. The south approach
to the iron bridge here, and the entire
iron bridge at Guthrie, twelve miles
south, are gone. 1t is Impossible to es-
innate the damage now. This report
was sent on a handcar to Duncan, thirty
eight miles south. Extravagant reports
OF the destruction OF farms in the Gila
valley have been received.

THE ROYAL VISITOR.
Ex-Empress Frederick Bids Adieu to
France.

France.
PARIS, Feb. 27.-Ex-Empress Freder-
ick, of Germany left Paris this morning.
No unpleasant incident marked her de-
parture. The gravity of the situation,
however, can be judged from the fact
that under advice from high
quarters, the ex-empress changed
her route for fear of being insulted. .4t
was publicly announced yesterday even.
ing, and again this morning, that she in.
tended to leave for Calais at IL 80 am.
but left two hours earlier and was
driven rapidly to Gare-Du-Nord, where
she entered train for Boulogne. She
will, however, not embark for England
at that port, but will proceed from there
to Calais, where the royal yachI
is awaiting her. In spite q
the 4nrecRutiops, several hundred
people gathered around Gare-Du-Nord
1t was a civil and.quiet crowd, however,
the majority OF the men taking off their
hats as she passed. No insulting cries
of any kind were heard. The ex-empress
appeared perfectly calm, and cordially
bade adieu to the representatives of the
German embassy who accompanied her
to the station.
At a reception yesterday evening Ger
veX, the painter, was presented to the
ex-empress. On behalf OF portion of
the French artists, he expressed the re-
gret they felt at not being able to send
their works of art to the Berlin exposi-
ton, but they could not place them
selves at variance with their colleagues.
The ex-empress in reply said she appre-
ciated the justice of the French artists
motives, and accepted them in a friendly
spirit, though she regretted that France
would not be represented at Berlin.
In an interview with the president of
the society of artists, the latter declares
that he will still advocate that French
artists should send exhibits to Berlin,
though contrary to the opinion of his
brother artists.
The ex-empress and her party arrived
at Gare-Du-Nord in three landaus.
The police officials had taken every pre-
caution to protect her, body of over
five hundred policemen being ct the
depot. The ex-empress was accompanied
by the whole staff of the German en-
bassy. Count Won Munster and "a
number of police accompanied her to
Boulogne, and from there to Calais.
