TROOPS EoR QUEEN Lll-.
Hawaiian Royalists Importing Recruit
From Canada

Nahhua.
VICTORIA, B. c., March l3. The Haweii
an steamship Warrimoo, just arrived,
brings confirmation of the enlistment OF
Canadian volunteers for the service OF
Queen Liliuokalani. The plan was fully
described in dispatches sent from here
early in January, which at the time were
discredited as false. 1t now appears that
their authors were in full possession of in.
side information ON the subject. The dis
patches say:
More than an ordinarily large number OF
steerage passengers, many Of them Eng
lishmen and Canadians, some wearing
military badges, arrived here during Jan
uary and February They have no osten
sible employment and are understood tC
be well supplied with money, while theii
sympathies are with the royalists. They
are supposed by the police to have beer
engaged or enlisted by Sansome of Van
couver, and the military appearance o.
many Of them has given the authorities
reason to believe that they are here for thi
purpose Of resisting the provisional gov
ernment.
The opinion prevailed that the repOr
previously sent Of the enlistment Of mel
IN Canada was fake, but the presence o
at least 90 strangers confirms the origina
story. In view of the presence of thes
men the provisional government has pu
half the citizens under arms and has passed
strict regulations in regard to the landing
of passengers by steamers.
