the Examination of PntroImcn.

Twenty-cight patrolmen from differ

promotion to the grade OF roundsman

said that this is the first time in the
history OF the Department that a Police
Commissioner has thought It consistent

the rebels had acquired none of tue rights

done so no right of interference with CON-
merce of any kind could be allowed.
There is Tumor afloat that Da Cana

American admiral on condition of amnesty
being granted "a him by Pexoto; but this
is nonsense. for it is well known that,
even if De Cana wished 10 do so. his off,

The operations Of the rebels during tn e
last two days have amounted to little. An

among their sym pathizers on shore.

sent orders to its squadron here to pro-
tect to similar extent all property afloat

PAYMENTS MADE IN GOLD,
Although the Secretary Will
Also Receive Currency.
RESERVE SLIGHTLY INCREASED.
After All the Treasury Will Have
but a Small Margin to
Work On.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-At Secretary
Carlisle's own figures the gold received
for the new bonds will exceed $5S. .00o. 00O.
This is on the presumption that gold will
be used entirely in paying for bonds. Ii
may be, however, that legal-tender and
treasury notes will be used indirectly to
some extent in payments, in which Case
the currency balance would be increased
In proportion. The gold reserve is to-day in
round mum bers S65. 600 600, and if the bonds
were paid for to-day Ia gold al S5S, ,000, 900
the total reserve would be $123, U00,000 or
S23, 000,090 more than is regarded as the
customary limit.
Subscrlltio to the new per cent
bonds have been received to the amount
of SD, sos. 100 at prices ranging from
117.223 to 12o.S29. There is also an offer of
$500 for one BOND of $50. There are
known to be on the way additional sub
scriptions amounting to more than S5,000,
OOO. which, owing TO the delay OF tue mails,
will be entitled to consideration, though
the time for the tenders expired at noon.
New York subscribed for S45,s33, 25o and
Boston for S5,346, $50. No other city sub
scrlbed for as much as million.
AT a tate hour this afternoon Secretary
Carlisle received telegraphic offer to
take 81. 000, COO n bonds. 1t came too late,

PARIS. Feb. lin tffe Chamber to-day a
vote of confidence was passed, 356 to 100.
that the Government would effect neces-
sary reforms in the navy and provide for
coast defense. The Minister of War said
that all the details for the defense of the
coast in the event of war had been ar
ranged and that the naval and military
coast defenses would, if war broke out, be
under a single commander. Submarine
torpedoes would be largely utilized in the
defense of the coast and it was expected
would be very serviceable. France could
count upon 20O,000 men for coast defense
without calling out the reserves of the

COULD NOT PARTICIPATE.
Willis Not Ready to Favor Hawaiian
Independence.

HONOLULU. Jan. 17.-Since last ad vices
but little of importance has happened
here. Adverse comment has been created
by the fact that yesterday afternoon no.
tice was sent to the United States legation
by the Provisional Government that the
18th of January. the anniversary of the
revolution, would be celebrated, and ask
ing him if be would honor 1t with public
notice and salute from the United States
warships in port. This letter of invita-
iion included two others addressed to the
chaplains OF the United States steamships
Philadelphia and Adams asking them to
join In the celebration.
At P. NJ. yesterday a reply was re-
ceived which greatly startled the Govern
ment.
The substance of Minister Willis reply
is unofhcially given as follows: ST have
received your notice of yesterday and am
obliged to say that the United States finds
it impossible. at the present. to participate
in the celebration of national iudepend-
enee, as proposed by the Provisional Gov
ernment of Hawaii. !, therefore, decline
to take part In such celebration on the
part of the United States of America"
Upon the receipt of this message the
widest excitement prevailed in Govern
ment circles. They had thought that as
the Cleveland ad ministration had ac-
knowledged the Provisional Government,
the United States was prepared to stand
by its guns. The fact that the Cleveland
administration has utterly deserted its
policy In Hawaii has called forth a howl
of indignation which it would take all the
DOWer of the ~nyalists tn hreak
The situation a: present writing is one
in which the annexationists are standing
shoulder to shoulder. The question re-
mains. Can this strained condition of
affairs last? 1t will be hard to decide,
with both parties claiming The vantage.
There is no doubt that the American
League controls large portion Of the
electorate of the island of Oahu and per-
haps of tho whole islands. The league
claims to be taking in five to ten members
every meeting (held twice week.. which
means that the membership of the league
has increased so rapidly that Ii at present
must number at least 600 armed members.
The fact is admitted by the officers of
the Annexation Club that its members
have generally deserted to join the ranks
of the American League.
The old charge that the royalists are
better posted than the annexationists was
revived yesterday, when the ex-Queen' S
paper, the Holomua, published the fact
several hours before it was known that
Minister Willis had refused to burn pow-
der in honor Of celebration Of the 17th of
January.
Every preparation is now complete for
the celebration to be continued through
out the day. At the mass-meeting to be
held at Union Square formerly Palace
