makes the following written statement of
| his failure to board the Corwin:
At 10 A. M, when the Corwfh was sighted,

attempted TO go alongside The vessel. Captain
Munger sung out to us: "YOu cannot board this
ship" l did not obey orders. but told my as

A seaman If the Corwin intimated by
signs when the GALL reporter was along
side that there was trouble in the islands.
but beyond this and the assurance of
Captain Munger that the Queen had not
yet been restored 10 the throne, no infor-
nation was received from The vessel.
From all appearances the little cutter
had bad rough trip up from Hawaii.
She is somewhat untidy looking and un-
like her usual ma tty self.
Following is a list of the officers Of the
Corwin: Frederick NJ. Munger. COM
mander; Frank II. NewcOmbe, first lieu
tenant; +. NJ. DunwoOdy, second lieu
tenant; NJ. V. Z. Jacobs, specially de-
tailed from the Bear; G. o. Carmine.
third lieutenant; F. B. Randall, first as
sistant engineer; E. P. Webber. second
assistant engineer. and G. w. Zastron.
third assistant engineer.
If rumors are to be relied upon Liliuo-
kalani is to be placed on the throne of
Hawaii by force and the United States
steamer COrwin has returned with a re-
quest for re-entorcements. Two dispatches
were sent to the Secretary of State yeSter-
day afternoon and it is understood that
they demand that an additional vessel
shall be sent to the islands with all dis
patch.
Rumor had it that the United States
marines had been landed at Honolulu, had
made an attempt to reseat the Queen, but
had failed after a conflict between them
and the Provisional army, in which the
latter was victorious.
One Of the stories freely circulated was
that forty marines had been killed in an
| attempt to land from the Adams and the
Philadelphia. How this report became so
widely disseminated is mystery. Busl-
ness men, bOatmen along the font and
even naval officers were quoted as having
heard" that Uncle Sans guardians had
come to grief. The rumor could not have
had any foundation. as positively no one
had boarded the Corwin. and up to late
/ hour last evening no one even knew where
| she had anchored.
| 1t was generally conceded that she had
proceeded slowly toward Vallejo and come
to an anchor in San Pablo Bay.
| The man who landed at Harbor View
must have vanished into thin air after
| leaving the telegraph office, for no trace of
him could be found. He was evidently as
anxious to hide himself as Captain Mum
| ger was TO hide the Corwin.
! In speaking of probable trouble at the
| islands petty officer of the Bear SAID:
Il guess the Philadelphia will have to
do most of the fighting, if there is any
| fighting TO be done from the ships them
selves. The Adams could not do much
damage except at short range, but the
white cruiser could blow Honolulu out of
the water"
The combined forces of the Philadelphia
and Adams that might be landed would
not aggregate over 600 men.
Among the officers Of the PHILADELPHIA
are number who have at times been sta
toned at Mare Island ana their names
will be familiar to many residents of the
yard. The following is the complete list
of officers as detailed for the vessel when

News from Honolulu was anxiously
looked Tor by large number of mer-
chants doing business with Hawaii. The
Offices of j. d. Spreckels s. Bro. were
besieged with those who seemed to have
an idea that in some way information
might have reached the sugar kings. The
Spreckels were inclined to believe that no
trouble had occurred.
"The inference is" said D. Camarinos.

that some sort of trouble has occurred,
