The Cutter Supposed to he Hiding
From Reporters.

SAN FRANCISCO. JAM 6.-Anxious watch
was kept up all night at Mare Island for
the expected arrival OF the revenue cutter
Corwin, which arrived from Honolulu yes
terday morning. and which proceeded os-
tensibly to the island after her officers had
refused communication with any one
Up to nine O'Clock this morning the cutter
had not reached Mare Island and she Is
supposed to have hidden herself during the
night. so as to be out or reach OF all in
quirers.
News from Honolulu was anxiously looked
for by large number of merchants doing
business with Hawaii
The offices of J. ID. Spreckies Brother
were besieged by many who seemed to have
an Idea that in some way information might
have reached the sugar kings. The Spreck-
els were inclined to believe that no trouble
had occurred.
THE inference is" said a prominent
merchant, who has extensive interests in
Honolulu, that some sort of trouble has
occurred. 1 expected private advices by
the Corwin. but l presume that her COM
mander must have refused to bring us any
mail. Unless something serious has hap
pened l see no reason why the vessel
should go lodging around the way she
has"

In This Locality for Winter Race
Track Apparently.
1t is said that the winter racing people
now here in their effort to secure another
track near the city in the vent of an ad-
verse decision, by Judge Cole, have endeav-
ored to secure the lease of the Rockville
track. An offer, it is said. was made by
Bookmaker NJ. Steinhart, who, 1t is stated
claimed to have been made acquainted with
the location of the fair grounds by promi-
nent officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. The terms offered were $3.50 and
five per cent of the profits for a thirty days
lease. The states attorney, Mr.. E. c. Peter,
was consulted by the managers of the Agri-
cultural Society as to the prop-ety of such
contract and informed them that under
the laws existing in this county 1t would
be illegal. The offer was in consequence re-
jected by the society
