FRESH FROM HAWAII
Arrival Of the Flagship Philadelphia With
Admiral Walker.
Nc Naval Representative VIII De
Sent There, as the Republic Can
Maintain Itself.

The Navy Department Is informed that
the flagship Philadelphia arrived at San
Francisco yesterday from Honolulu. where
she had been on duty since September.
1893. Her arrival means many things the
most important Of which Is that the cruiser
Charleston will start at once for the Chi
nese station for the protection of American
interests. The Charleston was delayed. az
a portion Of the crew of the Philadelphia
was necessary to complete her complement
On the voyage to China the Charleston will
make short stop at Honolulu for coal.
Admiral Walker Coming East.
Admiral Walker returned to the United
States on the Philadelphia. and he win
start east at once. He Is under orders to
relieve Capt. Phythlan as superintendent
Of the Naval Academy in September. 1t
Is understood that affairs were quiet in
Hawaii at the time OF his departure, and
that the new republican government was in
successful operation. The Philadelphia has
been in commission for four years. and Is
said to be in need Of q thorough overhaul
ing. She will be put in dry dock at Mare
Island for repairs.
No Naval Representative mt Hawaii.
Her departure from Hawaii leaves the
United States without a naval representa-
tive at Hawaii for the first time since the
overthrow Of the disreputable Hawaiian
dynasty in January. 1885, 1t is announced
at the Navy Department that no vessel Is
to be sent to Hawaii for the present. In
asmuch as the republic was established in
spite Of the presence Of the United States
warships. acting under orders from an ad-
ministration openly favoring the restoration
of the fallen queen, 1t is accepted as con-
elusive that the republic can easily main
tain itself in the absence Of such warships.

ney, Mr.. Wharton e. Lester. appeared as
