steamship Australia arrived today, seven
days from Honolulu. Among her passen-

mostly Britishers and Germans who
made themselves obnoxious to the repub'
lican government by doing too much talk
ing. Among the eXiles who became
known as supporters of the revolutionary
party are Wundenberg, Creighton, Peter
son, Rathernil, Brown and Fitzsimmons.
The most important news brought by
the steamer was the decisio ion of President

ment the death sentences imposed by
court martial upon Wilcox, Seward, Rick

plotters. The sentences were committed
to thirty-fve years Imprisonment and q

Of the most serious mine accidents in the

company. The entrance is closed and as
forty men are in the mine it seems i'm

Dense smoke is issuing from the air shaft,
indica ting that the interior of the mine
is burning. Up to O'Clock no one has
been rescued although the body of one
man, driver, has been found at the
mouth of the tunnel. Over half of the
men employed in the mine have families
and the women are surrounding the en-
trance. Great excitement prevails here
and at White Ash.
