VANCOUVER d. c. Dec. 1.-THE Australian
steamer Arawa arrived at Victoria at & A. NJ
to-day. Queen Li)luokalani has not been ro-
stored and there has been no trouble yet in
Honolulu. The Arawa left Honolulu on Non
day. Dec. 4. and was little over seven days
making tho run.
On the unanimous and urgent demand ofthe
American citizens. the Provisional Govern
ment has decided to resist to the utmost ex-
tremity any attempt to overthrow It by tho
United States forces without authority from
Congress. Leading citizens generally will be
foremost in the defence.
Indignation is at white heat. The feeling Is
that there shall be no surrender to rotten
Kanaka despotism or its Washington abettors.
Twelve hundred volunteer rihemsn are ready
at call with Maxim and Calling batteries.

Cleveland has made arrangements with Eng
land by which tho war ship Champions ma

Hatch Vice President OF the Provisional Gov

Club. presided and made the opening speech.
