The Situation in Hawaii.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.-P. S.
Jones, late minister of finance under
Queen Liliuokalani, and subsequently
minister of finance under the proyis-
ional government, who arrived from
Honolulu last night, says there is in
tense feeling on the islands and a posi-
tive determination to resist force by
force should the United States attempt
to place the queen on the throne. He
says Mr.. Blount positively refused to
hear evidence likely to clash with his
preconceived ideas; that he offered to
give him the benefit of his observations
but Mr.. Blount refused to listen to him.
General Dimond, ex-superintendent
of the San Francisco mint, was also a
passenger from Honolulu. He corrob-
Grated the statements as to the intense
feeling on the islands and said: 'The
provisional forces are we'll armed with
the latest pattern of rifles with plenty
of ammunition and gatling guns and other
field pieces. The provisional govern
ment is able to place l, 800 men in the
field, thoroughly equipped, on ten min
utes' notice. was told that ifmarines
are landed an attempt will be made to
drive them back to their ships. The
royalists are more numerous than is
generally suppose and are chiefly Brit
ish subjects who are confident that
President Cleveland will carry their
policy through, and that the queen
will be surely replaced on the throne. !"
The Oceanic which arrived last night
brought an open letter from ex-Com-
missioner Carter, of the provisional
government of Hawaii, to Secretary
Gresham in which he denies the state
ments made by the latter to the Presi-
dent, and answers them in detail.
Mr.. Thurston, Hawaiian Minister to
the United States, received a bundle of
dispatches this morning which arrived
here last night by the Oceanic. He de-
clined to. disclose their contents.

DURING THE debate on the bill to
admit the Territory of Utah into the
Union as State, in the U. S. House OF
Representatives yesterday, Mr.. Rawl-
ings, the delegate from that Territory,
in reply to Mr.. Morse of Massachusetts,
who had spoken against the bill on the
ground of the polygamous habits OF the
citizens of Utah, said ''the men who
were responsible for the establishment
of polygamy in that Territory were
born, reared, educated, and actuated
by the sentiment of New Eugland-a
sentiment which burned witches, per-
secuted Quakers, and drove out Roger
Williams and produced the gentleman
from Massachusetts,, and that there is
less polygamy in Utah than in Massa-
chusetts. That is just what the GA
ZETrE has been saying for the last ten
wears. and every word of it is true.

HORRIBLE FATE OF A HUNTER.

His Gun, Which Set Fire TO His
Clothing.
MIpDLErowN, NY, Nov. 24.-The hor-
rible death of sixteen yesr-old "Ebbie"

penss no longer, and the father secured
the assistance of several of his neighbors

| the sound, they were Mortified to discover
| the charred and mangled body of the mics

The cauee of death was easily ascer-
tanned. The boy had evidently climbed
| upon the stump, as the foot marks were
plainly visible, but had slipped off. The
| gun had also fallen In such manner as to
raise the hammers and explode the car
tridges, sending both charges into his
heart, doubtless killing him instantly.
His clothing had Immediately taken fire,
