vantages accruing to those nations

trating international disputes and de-
string that the like benefits may in the
future be enjoyed by all nations, and
deeming this fitting opportunity, do
hereby Join in this memorial to all our
various governments praying that they
will unitedly agree by mutual treaties,
to submit for settlement by arbitration
all such international questions and dis
putes ns shall fail OF satisfactory solu-
ton by ordinary negotiations, and for
this the petitioners will ever pray.

SAN FRANoIsco, GALA, Dec. PAT
was learned here to-day, that the U. s.
man-of.war Mohican, is to be dispatch
cd to Honolulu on Wednesday. Sailing
orders have already been received, and
there is unusual activity at Marc Island
preparing the cruiser for sea.
The vessel has been ordered to take a
deck load Of coal in addition to the usual
supply, and it is evident that an effort
will be made to force the Mohican's old
engines to make time. The coal heay-
eIs at Mare Island are to have no hoii-
day, SO positive is the order to equip
the Mohican for sea without loss oftime.
Inasmuch as the steamship Australia
sailed for Honolulu yesterday and could
have carried all necessary adyices to
Minister Willis, the inference is there
must be some urgentreasonf forstrength-
ening the United States naval force at
