SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-Tne
steamer Gaelic arrived from Homo
lulu tonight. She brings the following
advices under date of April 30:
Minister Hatch has received a COM
munication from Secretary Gresham.
through United States Minister Willis.
in regard to naturalized Hawaiians
applying for the protection of the
United States. The communication
deals entirely with the case of j. f.
Bowler, who called on the United
States to interfere in his behalf.
Bowler was convicted on a charge
OF misprisiOn in connection with the
recent rebellion. Mr.. Gresham states
the United States government cannot
interfere, and, giving reasons, calls
attention To the fact that Bowler has
taken the oath of allegiance required
for becoming a nauralized citizen Of
Hawaii. No reference is made to the
other prisoners coming under possible
American jurisdiction. Secretary
Gresham's letter will be made public
at meeting of the council to be held
BRITISH INFLUENCE
is at work in Honolulu. The native
are in a state of expectancy and woru
has been passed quietly among them
that within a short time restoration
would be fact. In that event
Kaiulani is to be made queen. Bishop
Willis, the head of the English church
in this country, is said to be the man
who is going among the natives with
the informa ton. British consul Hawes
is also mentioned in this connection.
New hope on the part of the natives
has given the annexation move a set
back. The government has received
no news from Secretary Gresham
about Minister Thurston's alleged re-
call. Rumors of an
IMPENDING REVOLUTION
are still rife and the stories are OF
such a. nature that some alarm is felt
in government circles. Information
comes from the island of Hawaii to
the effect that the residents are con-
templating secession from the group,
claiming as reason for the step that
they DO not receive their share of
money for public improvement. The
Hawaiian government is now putting
into effect measures to equalize and
perhaps change altogether the immi-
grafton stream. A limited number of
Chinese field laborers are to be brought
in under restrictions by authority Of
the act of 1892. For the present the
board of immigration will sefuse all
applications for further importations
of Japanese contract laborers.
1t is the intention of the govern
ment and the planters to encourage
by every means immigration from
Europe.
Negotiations are now under way for
more Portuguese. On this regard, mat
ters may shape themselves in a man
ner that may detain Mr.. Thurston in
this country. 1t is said that new inn
migration bureau is TO be created, and
If so he will be offered the chairman
ship. President Dole celebrated his
fiftyfirst birthday on the 23d. During
the day petition was circulated pray
ing that amnesty be granted the po-
litical prisoners. BY o'clock in the
afternoon about 500 names had been
affixed to the petition. An hour later
the document was presented to the
president, who replied he would SUBJ
NIT it to the council for action.
