WASHINGTON. March 16.-Secretary Car
llsle this morning declined 10 affirm or
deny the statement that the revenue
cutter Rush at San Francisco had been
ordered to hold herself in readiness to
carry Mr.. Blount to Hawaii. lt is un-
officially stated. however, that the revenue
cutter will be placed at Mr.. Biourt's dis
posal on his arrival, and unless arrange
ments can be made for the Pacific mail
steamer, which sails for China on the 2Sd
inst, to touch at Honolulu Mr.. Blount will
sail on the Rush. It will take that vessel
about week to make the trip. The sup
position that the Rush has been ordered
for this duty receives confirmation from
the fact that revenue marine officials. who
three days ago denied positively that any
orders to this effect had been given are
this morning dumb as oysters on this sub
ject.
The correspondent of the New York Sun
telegraphs his paper as follows: 1T Is
