to transport one of the companys barges

A BIG ROW ON.
Cutter Corwin Arrived Friday
from Hawaiian Islands.
Queen Lii Had Not Been Restored
When the Cutter Left.
But Sailor Said: There's Z Big Rev On.
Dewn at Honolulu"

SAN Francisco, Jan. 5 Revenue cut
ter Corwin arrived at the entrance Of the
harbor from Honolulu this morning. She
sent boat to the shore with dispatches for
Washington and then proceeded to Mare
island.
A reporter was in the boat that met the
cutter off the fort and endeavored to board
her, but was repulssd. His inquiries as to
how things were going At Honolulu were
unanswered. IAN hands had evidently re-
C, ived the strictest injunctions as to silence
on this point.
The only hint of the news At hrst given
WAS by one Of the crew. who said over the
tile TO the reporter There 10 big row
on, down in Honolulu"
Afterward, in answer to question, Cap
tain Munger yelled, "The Queen WAS not
put back on the throne when we left, but
may be there now, all the same"
From the appearance of the Corwin she
must have been pressed during the run, and
the chances are that it has not been more
than 10 days since she left Honolulu. Her
srarboard coal bunkers are apparently emp
iy, as she had a decided list to port. At the
navy yard the cutter will go out of commits
sion and be returned to the custom house
authorities.
The Mohican is at Mare island, fully
equipped and provisioned. If more assis-
tance is required at Honolulu che can be
got ready and dispatched in an hour.
