A HONOLULU LETTER.
The recent revolution in the Hawaiian
islands was learned with special interes
by many of our citizens from the fac
that there are a goodly number of Pasa
denians sojourning on the islands, hoss
friends and relatives here naturally
take great interest in news from thai
country.
A letter received today from Homo
lulu, dated December 1st, from Mr.. r
G. Moore, formerly of this place, who
has been on the islands for several
years, in speaking of the revolution,
says: ION the 18th of January the
whites rose up in arms and dethroned the
queen, first taking the government
building next the palace, then the
police station and lastly the armory,
where all the government arms and
ammunition was stored. Il was quite q
daring deed, as the queens soldiers,
natives and half breeds, had possession
OF everything. No resistance, however,
was offered, only one policeman being
wounded, and he is rapidly recovering.
The city is now under martial law, and
the people are not allowed out after 9
O'Clock at night nor earlier than 5
well guarded all over. An island
steamer left the day following the insur-
rection for San Francisco. One United
States man-of-war is here and is backing
up the whites.
"There has been much excitement
here. butat this writing things are be-
ginning to move along the same as ever.
THE queen was very hotheaded
being ard very stubborn. She signed
the bill allowing the Louisiana Lottery
company to establish themselves here,
also bill allowing the people to manu-
facture liquors, as well as the opium
bill and to top the whole thing off pro-
mulgated document providing that she
should have the power to choose her
own cabinet and house Of lords, and
tried to force the cabinet to sign it. All
OF this was too much for the whites and
the revolution was the result.
"1t is the general opinion that it will
be months before we know what kind of
government we will be under"
