Consul Wilder Says ROyalists Have
No Funds to Buy Arms.
PORT TOWNSEND STORY DENIED
FoOlhardy Attempt to Begin q War
with Only Native Support-NO In
formation that United States Have
Ordered Puget Sound Officials to Act.

In an interview recently Charles
T. Wilder, Hawaiian Consul in
San Francisco, said that he did not
think there was any foundation fol
the news from Port Townsend that
vessels have been loaded there with
munitions of war for the Hawaiian
Islands, and that an uprising
against the existing Government
may take place next September. A
telegram published yesterday stat.
ed that the United States Govern
ment has instructed the Customs
authorities of the Puget Sound dis
trict to prevent the fitting out OF
flibustering expeditions for Ha-
waii. Mr.. Wilder said that he had
no information about such an or
der having been issued, and he did
not know of any shipment of arms
from Puget Sound ports.
He was asked if Colonel Ashford,
the Hawaiian exile, to whom the
preparations for a revolution in the
islands have been attributed, had
gone to Port Townsend. Consul
Wilder replied in the negative. 1t
was suggested that he might have
sent an agent north to attend to the
orranoeDoeot for warfare
"No likelihood of that" an
swered the young consul. ''Ash-
ford hasn't got the means to hire
anybody or to purchase such sup
plies. That dispatch from Port
Townsend says that 1000 men will
be ready in September to take up
arms against the Government.
Where are the 1000 men to come
from? They might get that many
natives, but it would be foolhardy
for them to begin war with only
natives in their army. To arm
2OO0 men requires more money
than Ashford or his associates have
got or can raise. No person is 60
ing to lend large sum on the slim
chance that the present Govern
ment is going to be overturned.
Certainly the money is not going
to be obtained from any man who
has interests in Hawaii, and it is
very improbable that any one else
would advance funds"
Mr.. Wilder said that if there
were any expeditions being fitted
out at or near Port Townsend he
would get reliable information, and
he was willing to deny the correct
ness Of the report from that place.

PROTEST OF BRAZIL.
Action Showing That England Aban-

Action Showing That England Aban-
dOned Trinidad Century Ago.
RIO DE JANEIRO, July 24.-There is
growing excitement in this city over
the occupation of the island of Trini-
dad by the English. The government
has dispatched two notes to the Brit
ish legation of emphatic protest,
quoting the act of the British ad-
miralty of 1882, by virtue of which
Trinidad was evacuated by the Eng
lish and restored to Portugal.
LONDON, July 24.-Referring to the
statement cabled from New York that
Brazil has formally protested against
Great Britain's claim to the island Of
Trinidad, persons in authority ques
toned on the subject say that the
British title to that island dates from
the year 100, when possession was
taken of it without any objection on
the part of Portugal. It was added
that hitherto Brazil has not advanced
any claim to the island of Trinidad,
but the British Government is ready
to discuss in a friendly spirit any
representations which Brazil may
wish to make on the subject.

AGAINST A PACIFIC CABLE.
An Exclusively British Line Not Accep

An Exclusively British Line Not Accep-
table to the Commercial World
WASHINGTON, July 22.-Australian
papers announce that the premier OF
Victoria has cabled the agent general
of that colony as follows with regard
to the Pacific cable scheme:
Impress upon the imperial govern
ment the extreme necessity of the Pa
cific cable project and urge an early
meeting of the joint commission OF
representatives of the imperial govern
ment of Canada and the Australian
colonies to arrange definite plan, sub
ject to the approval of the govern
ments interests, as stated by Sanford
Flemming ia his letter of January last
to the Canadian minister of trade and
commerce Secure all possible infOr-
nation as to construction and laying
of the cable and endeaVor to secure
the cooperation of the other agent
generals"
In reply to this the premier received
a cablegram from Agent General Giils
stating that none of the other agents
general had received instruction to CO.
operate with him in urging the con-
structiOn of the cable. The South
Australian government alone had
taken a stand on the question, and its
attitude was decidedly hostile to the
cable project.
The objection is raised that statistics
on cable are incomplete and unsatis-
factory, and that a cable touching
only British soil is a somewhat Quix-
Otic proposition, not likely to prove
acceptable to the commercial world.

EATING STRANGE FRUIT.
Two Passengers by Alameda Have
a Burning Experience.

The desire to sample fruits and
what appears to be fruits, of the
islands, often proves a source OF
considerable discontinue to those
who are of a more than normally
inquiring nature and place such
confidence in their own judgment
that they scorn the advice of those
better acquainted with the pro-
ducts of the tropics.
Yesterday morning shortly after
the arrival Of the Alameda from
San Fransisco, two of the passen-
gers were seen plucking peppers
from hedge on King street, near
Alapai. It struck the observer
that something might be gained
by watching the actions of the
newcomers. After slowing away
in their pockets a goodly number
of what evidently appeared to them
to be some kind of delicious fruit.
the pair strolled toward town.
Shortly after, one Of the men
was seen to reach into his pocket.
take out red pepper and deliber,
ately take a generous bite, much
as if eating an apple. There was
an exclamation followed by a rush
for tap in a yard near by. After
emerging from the place the pair
were seen TO empty their pocket:
Of the peppers.

Yesterday on the charge OF forgery.
Runyon claims to be assistant posts

OF the frn Of Runyon Bros, who do a
general merchandise business at that
place. His arrest WAS insrigated by W.
e. PeTn, raying teller at the Conn

the forgery, and refused to pay it. 1t
seems that Runyon WAS he possessor of

and signed by B F. Allen & Co., whole
sale produce merchants, of this city, and
made payable to the order of Runyon
Bros. This check had been raised from
the above amount to $40. Upon being
refused payment at tho bank, Runyon
went to Bitterman's saloon. and got q
boy to go TO Allen & Co. and get him a
blank check. After being arrested q
check was found in his possession,
drawn for SI.4O, and pronounced for
gerry. He claims that the che ck for SIS. 40
was sent him by Allen & Co. Tor prod uce
shipped them from Pulaski county, and
the other was received yesterday by

Mcadam. Both checks bear tho date
OF September 2, but there is difference
in the che ck numbers Of over sixty,
showing that moro than sixty checks
hao been drawn from Allen e Co.'s
check book since the first cheek was
issued. Mr. Allen is out OF the city, but
will return to-day. The bookkeeper
however, states that the books only
show that the firm owes Runyon Bros

up, and has retained Judge Brand as
