face and hands badly discolored-in fact,
almost black-yet her mortal remains are

sociation requesting meeting today to

Of the road. In an interview

Perry as permanent receiver and

AS was announced in THE News last
night by a dispatch from The Associ-
ated Press agent at Sun Francisco the
United States revenue cutter Corwin
has arrived at San Francisco direct from
Honolulu. She presented every appear
ancs of having been rushed from the
capital of Hawaii at her highest rate OF
speed, and immediately upon her arrival
dispatches were hurredly sent ashore
and flashed over the wires TO Washing
ton. The utmost secrecy was preserved
by the officers and men OF tue cutter
who refused 10 allow newspaper men 10
board the cutler or TO give them any
information regarding the status OF
affairs in IA matter in which the entire
nation is deeply interested. A sailor did
make the remark that there was big row
down in Honolulu, but whether he
meant TO convey the idea that the pro-
visional government had resisted by
force the attempted restoration or not is
a question. The officer in charge of the
cutter, Captain Munger, instead of
treating the newspaper men courteously
and stating that he could not i'm
part any information 10 them acted
most boorishly and finally shouted
out that 1.-THE queen had not been put
back on her throne when we left, but
she may be there now all the same
thus showing that Mr.. Cleveland has
not departed from his original intention
of forcing free government TO again
take up the yoke of dissolute and
rotten monarchy,
If this thing has been done the Ameri-
can people will have a reckoning with
President Cleveland and his secretary
of state for not preventing, after learn.
ing how wide spread the condemnation
of his plan was, the consummation of
the most infamous plot an American
president ever lent himself TO.
Whether today will bring any informa-
tion from Washington which will throw
any light upon the subject, or whether
the president will persist in his course
of secrecy, is to be decided later in the
day.
There may have been big row down
in Honolulu, but there will be very
much bigger one in the United States
if the queen has been placed back on the
throne she and her line disgraced.
The dispatches that Were sent to the
commander of the Mohican marked
"rusA" last night would seem toindicate
that possibly the United States forces at
Hawaii were insufficient AMI that the
Mohican has been ordered to proceed to
their assistance. II not, why was the
ship coaled at midnight and
the entire navy yard in
state of excitemenif II Mr.. Cleveland
has dared. after leaving this matter in
the hands of congress. 10 carry out his
original intention. congress can not re-
fuse to take such steps as would call
him to account.
The situation is very serious and needs
now the calnest and most conservative
action.
