SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. l9.-The rise and
fall of the queens supporters IN Hawaii
has created a great deal OF excitement
among her sympat h.zers in this city. The
chamber of commerce held special
meeting to-day and forwarded a telegram
to Secretary Gresham urging him to send
n war ship at once to Honolulu. This was
before it had been learned that Gresham
had already ordered the Philadelphia to
the islands. Anticipating orders TO sail
the officers of the Philadelphia COM
meuced preparations for departure early
this morning. They sXpect to get away
tomorrow. or by Monday at the latest.
The Philadelphia can steam to Homo
lulu in five days. or in even less time If
she is pressed. She carries enough of a
crew to put down the biggest rebellion the
Hawaiian indictments are capable of
starting.
Tho mission of c. W. Mcfarland, who
arri we'd here in the early part of the
month on the Arawa, is now believed to
have been for the purpose of arranging
for the shipment of arms to Honolulu.
Mcfarland did not make lengthy stay
in San Francisco, but hurried back on the
18th OF the month.
Though the first uprising may not have
amounted TO much, the revolt may spread
to the other islands. Honolulu is well
protected and can stand OFF the revolu-
tionists, but the natives may be harder TO
suppress in other localities.
Robert w. Wilcox, the leader of the
revolutionists, who. when captured, will
undoubtedly DO executed, is well recol-
lccted by civil on ginccrs in this city, hay-
ing been employed here in the work of
the water works company construction
At the headquarters OF the Hawaiian
consul there was little information to be
gained concerning the uprising further
than has already bcen published in the
orrespondeuce from Honolulu, but from
! another, and most reliable source, II was
| learned the government officials at the
| islands had communicated "A number of
| facts to its representatives in this city, by
which it is expected TO trace up the source
of the supply of arms which wore obtained
| 10y the natives. In fact, it is said, the
| representatives here have already consid-
erable proof against certain persons who
are known to be friendly TO the royalists,
and who are even now planning to send
additional arms to tho islands.
An effort is being made to locate the
Schooner Norma, which left Victoria
nearly two months ago, supposedly for
tho islands, with lot of contraband
opium. Another vessel is supposed to
have left Victoria on a similar mission
| shortly after the Norma. aud Deputy Col
lcctor OF Port McStoker, who was here in
| vestigaung opium smuggling, hurried
back to the islands, hoping to anticipate
the plans of the smugC.ers.
by mail which arrived here previous to
that of the Alameda, there came n letter
from Deputy McStoker to the customs
officers here, stating that a vessel answer
ing the description of the Norma has been
lowering Off tho neighboring island, bus
could not be overhauled because of he
governments lack of proper boat. Il Is
believed The vessel was tho Norma, but
that instead of having opium aboard, shc
was loaded with arms.
