Mr.. Thurston further said that they had no
further information as to the drowning Of
Minister Stevens daughter, though he supposed
the accident took place at one Of the
landings on the islands. Most Of these are
on bluffs, where the water is very deep
right up to the land and a landing is made
from small boats by means OF a rev diving derrick
with rope and a breeches buoy with which the
passenger Is drawn up. There is often a sweep
OF forty feet or more and it is not altogether a
pleasant thing to be drawn up through the air
by rope, and accidents are not uncommon.
THE HAwArIANs AND THEIR GOVERNMENT.
Ban FRANCISCO, Feb. Capt. W. G. Good
win Of the schooner Robert Lewis. which ar
rived from Honolulu late last night, in an in
terview says:
Il left Honolulu on January 81. two days
after the sailing of the Clsudine. At the time
OF our departure and during our stay there
things were quiet. The provisional govern
ment is in full control Of affairs and the marines
from the steamer Boston are still on duty
Tine new administration seems to be popular
with the natives, who seem to care very little
what sort OF government they have. As
far as l could gather from the talk
on the islands the queen nor any one
Of her official household has not commune
the purpose Of securing sympathy. The
natives of the islands not inclined to mis-
chief making and are taking the changed con-
dition of affairs very quietly.
The queen. from what could learn is still
very angry at her overthrow, but believe it is
impossible for her to gather a force sufficiently
large to recover by warfare the kingdom she
has lost. The provisional government seems
firmly established and the new officials are
working together In harmony.
Perfect unanimity of sentiment exists and
the people strictly observing every law.
Complete organization has been effected not
only In the carrying on of the business of the
government, but in the military department.
The latter has been largely recruited by
volunteers, and is now in a condition to carry
on vigorous campaign if such should be
necessary. When l left no trouble was antici-
pated from any quarter.
