tivity is as great as if declaration of

order is for the immediate preparation of

voyage. The same order extends to the
cruiser Boston. The work of coaing and
provisioning the warships is being pushed
as rapidly as possible, and the equipments
put into perfect condition and with the
utmost care. 1t is thought that the dcs-
tination of the vessels is Honolulu. The
reason for the belief is the report that
Great Britain is determined TO make an
imposing show of naval strength in Ha-
