The Cases Of Bowler, Seward. Gulick

RESTORATION OF MONARCHY
Extrnvagant Hopes of ROy"ists
BASED on Possibility OF british
Iutcrference-Susp of Move

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, May Tine
steamship Gaelic, which arrived last eve
ming. brings the following advices:
HONOLULU. April 30.-Minister Hatch
last week received. through United
States Minister Willis a communica-
ton Of much Importance from secretary
Gresham, in which he declined to inter-
fere I'm the case of John a. Bowler. who
IL serving a sentence of five years I'M
prsonment for misprision OF treason
a crime for which he claimed that the
military commission had no right 10
try him. Bowler had taken an unquaiihed
oath of allegiance to Kalakaua. Secre-
tary Gresham holds that he thereupon
lost his American citizenship and for
feited all claim TO the protection OF the
American Government.
The cases Of Seward. Gulick. and Mar
shall, who are American citizens, are
unlike Bowler's. in that the crime for
which they were convicted was treason.
Seward and Marshall hal not taken any
oath Of allegiance.
However. II Is scarcely contended that
a military commission cannot act upon
case OF treason. II Is known that the
Royalsts have for some weeks past been
INDUCING very sanguine hopes OF the
early deliverance Of all political prison.
ers. They confidently expected the in
reference Of England and America, upon
the ground that the military commission
which tried their case was uncOnSttu-
tional and an Illegal court. Letters have
recently been seen telling the prisoners
that their speedy release was certain, and
even going so far as To say that the
monarchy would shortly be restored under
Kaiulani by British interference.
However ill-founded, there is no doubt
that the Royalists have been INDUCING
in extravagant hopes of this sort. The
effect OF this has been a sudden suspen-
sion during the past fortnight of the
previous active movement among them
in favor Of annexation. by which they
hoped to displace the Dole Government.
No solid foundation for these renewed
Royalist hopes is known TO exist. Neither
has Thurston nor have the Cabi-
net lent any countenance to such a
theory. The present attitude OF Mr..
Gresham and the apparent agreement
Herewith of the British commissioner
seem to indicate let-alone policy.
fortnight ago rumors were anoat
about expected uprisings of Royalists
on the Island of Maui. Some alarm was
created there, and some arms were sent
up from here 10 the Sheriff. 1t was found
that the rumors We're traceable to a
prominent Englshman Of East Maui. II
is believed that most Of the late Royalist
reaction among the natives can be
traced TO the eXertion Of the Britishers.

Roanoke Turns the Table on iorts-
mouth i'm a Fine Game.

ROANOKE, VA, May 7.-'Special)-
Roanoke turned the tables on Portsmouth
to-day and took them into camp to the
tune of Z TO 8. The game the home team
put up could not have been improved
upon. They PLAYED without an error
and hit the ball hard at the right time.
Stahl occupied the box for Roanoke and
was very effective, outside of the FIRST
inning. when he was touched up for
three singles. Brandt did the twirlng
for Portsmouth, and was hit hard
throughout the game. Manager Breen
made Il change in his inheld, putang
himself on third and CavanauSh at short.
The switch worked well.
The star play of the game was made
by Farrell. Tate was on second, when
Quinn drove the sphere into right centre.
Farrell made beautiful catch of II ana
lined the ball to Breen in time to catch
Tate at third. In addition to this he
caught number of difficult flies. Pad
den and Hargrove also made some great
catches. The batting honors were car
ried off by Sherer Cancel, and Tate,
the latter making four hits at as many
times at the bat. The score:
