SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.-The revenue
| cutter Corwin. which was due last
Saturday, arrived at the entrance OF
| the harbor yesterday morning about II
o'clock. She did not enter but lay on
| Fort Point long enough to send a boat
ashore with a dispatch, and then sailed
| and anchored off Sausalito, whence
she afterwards proceeded toward Mare
Island.
A United Press reporter in boat
met the cutter off the fort, and en-
deavored to board her, but was re-
pulsed His inquiries as to how things
were going at Honolulu were unan-
swered. All hands had evidently re-
ceived strict injunctions to silence on
that point, and not a word could be got
out of anybody. The only hint OF
news was given by one of the crew,
who said over the side to the reporter.
There is big row on down in Hon
olulu.''
Afterwards, in answer to q question,
Capt. Munger yelled back:
1.-THE queen had not yet been put.
back on the throne when we left, but
she may be there now all the same"
After putting an officer with dis
patches for Washington ashore, the
Corwin steamed over to Sausalito. She
lay there for an hour, and while there
the revenue cutter partly went over.

and went to the Mare Island navy
yard.
From the appearance of the steamer
she must have been pressed during the
run, and the chances are that it is not
more than ten days since she left
Honolulu. Her starboard coal bunk
ers were apparently empty and she
had decided list to the port. At the
navy yard the cutter will go out OF
commission and be returned to the
custom-house officials
The Mohican is at Mare Island, fully
equipped and provisioned. If more as
sistance is required at Honolulu she
can be got ready and dispatched in an
hour
There is great Indignation in local
newspaper circles over the discourteous
treatment accorded representatives of
the press who tried to board the Cor
win, no one even being able to obtain
an inlkling of the developments in Hon
olulu. All requests for information
were gruffiy met. The secret of this
is perhaps the ral1ing over that Capt.
Munger got from the department for
allowing the news of his intended de-
parture to become public.
Secretary Gresham Has Nothing to Give
Out
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. - Secretary
Gresham received his first intimation
from United Press bulletin of the ar
rival of the Corwin at San Francisco
Whatever dispatches the Corwin has
landed for the state department they
are unquestionably in naval cipher.
1t will take Judging by past expert
ences) many hours to fully unravel
their contents
Some hint of their purport, however,
should have undoubtedly reached Sec
rotary Gresham, for he stated late this
evening to United Press reporter,
that he was quite confident there
would be nothing in the Corwin's dis
patch which he would give out for
publication tonight.
Secretary Gresham, when asked
about the dispatches, via Auckland, as
serting that Mr.. Willis has made de-
mand on the provisional government to
abdicate, declined to speak for publica-
ton, but plainly discredited the re-
mort
