TROOPS FOR LILIUOKALANI.
VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 1S-The Canadian
Australian steamer Warrimoo, which sail
ed for Honolulu last evening" is bearing to
the Hawaiian capital letters which are
deemed to be too important for transmits
sion through the mails, and which accord
ingly have been intrusted to the care of
modest aud uucommunicative passenger
They are addressed to Theophlus Davies,
and contain summarized information of
what has already been accomplished by his
agents in the Dominion of Canada in the
direction of placing at Queen Liliuoka-
lanl's command picked body guard of as
nne soldiers as any monarchy could desire.
Rumors have been afloat that 4 company
OF volunteers was being secretly organized
at Vancouver for the purpose of aiding the
eX queen with rifles aud swords to regain
her throne Then came the announce
ment that, although they were dy to
enlist, the scheme had been abandoned,
owing to the failure of the principals to pro-
vide the sinews of war. It was limited that
but for this The company, to be known as
the Queens Own Guards would have been
passengers by the Warrlmoo. As matter
OF fact this latter step mad never for mo-
ment been contemplated, nor has the pro-
Ject by any means come to naught. In
proof of this, letters We're this afternoon
shown which indicate that it is maturing
In manner quite satisfactory to royalist
hopes. The duly commissioned recruiting
officer named Dy Davies is wel-known
business man ut Vancouver, c. w. II.
Sansome, who at PRESENTS in the insur-
ance business. and who during the Cana
dian northwest rebellion gave considerable
service AS one of the Boulion's famous
scouts. This gentlemau's instructions
from Davies were to enlist 200 irst-class
men TO protect the queen and royalist
interests, and 10 be employed as Liliuoka-
LAM may direct. OF these 1S0 have been
enrolled, and are held ready To proceed to
Hawaii at word of command.
Letters containing Davies instructions
were looked tor in the mail brought to
San Francisco by the Australia, and as
they have not arrived it is feared they have
fallen into the hands of the provisional
government, hence the dispatch of the
agent on the Warrimoo. He is instructed
to communicate without delay the
wishes of Liliuokalani and her advisors,
the intention being to seud the
little army forward by way of San Fran
cisco in small detached parties this course
being necessary in order to divert suspi-
cion, and also to avoid the law aud obviate
the possibility of Great Britain's being
rendered in any way responsible for the
consequence. The party Will be in charge
or Captain Mexican, an eX-sergeant of the
northwest mounted police, and will be in
full strength. Transportation rates have
been secured by Sansome from the Ocean
ic line, represented by Captain Webster,
and now everything awaits the word from
Honolulu
The force comprising the queens guards
will contrast strongly with the monde
script provisional government soldiers, the
latter having been IN the great part made
up of unemployed mechanics. Mckean's
brigade Is almost entirely composed of
veterans of the northwest mounted police,
the fluest military organization in Can
ada, with number OF eX-otticers and men
of the Ninety-first battalion of Winnipeg,
having seen service and been brought up
to arms. One hundred and fifty men were
endorsed by Major +. j. Clark, formerly
of the Ninety y-first Winnipeg, and on these
