PRECAUTIONS AT HONOLULU.
The Government Taking Means to
Prevent an Outbreak.

The steamer Warrimoo arrived at Victor
in, b. c., yesterday, with the Hawaiian
news one day later than received at San
Francisco on the Australia:
HONOLULU, March 4.-Some months ago.
W. G. Smith. editor of the Star. attack I'd in
his paper Charles Wilson, the ex-queaa's
marshal and alleged paramour. Wilson had
Smith arrested five times on suits for GRIM
inal libel. Smith claimed he intended to
subpoena the ex-queen as a witness. Yes
terady afternoon the cases against Smith
were all dropped on account. 1t is claimed
of the intention of forcing Liiuokalal nj to
take the witness stand. This is taken as
sign that the royalists have given up hopes
OF restoration, as, in that event, the queen
could not be summoned.
The new law referring to aliens went into
effect today and several arrivals by the
WarrimOo had some difficulty in landing
Several men were detained on board.
More than an ordinarily large number OF
steerage passengers, many of them English
men and Canadians, some wearing military
badges, arrived here during January and
February. They have no ostensible employ
ment and are understood to be well supplied
with money while their sympat hies are with
the Toyalsts. They are supposed by the
police to have been enaged or enlisted by
Sansome of Vancouver, and the military Gp-
pearance OF many of them has given the
authorities reason to believe that they are
here for the purpose of resisting the pro-
ViSfOnal government.
The opinion prevailed that the report pre-
vioUsy sent of the enlistment of men in
Canada was fake but the presence of / I
least sixty strangers confirms the original
story. In view OF the presence of these men,
the provisional government has put half the
citizens under arms and has passed strict
regulations in respect to the landing of
passengers by steamers. The regula ton pro-
vIies that upon the arrival of any foreign
vessel with passengers at any port Of the
