AN ENvoY FRoM LAVAL.
1t is Believed He Comes to Have War
Vessel Sent to Hawaii.

San Francisco. Jan. 13.-George H.
Young who arrived here on the steamer
Australia from honolulu with f. NJ.
Hatch, minister of foreign affairs
Of Hawaii says it was generally
understood among the passengers
that Mr.. Hatchs mission concerning the
cable was merely a blind. The real pur-
pose was to convey to Minister Thurston
at Washington some important
dispatches that the ministry was
afraid to trust to the mail.
There arc unmistakable signs Of an i'm
pending revolt in the islands, says Mr.
Young, and the provisional government
is seriously alarmed. 1t is believed the
dispatches to Minister Thurston are In
the nature of a request that a United
States war vessel be sent to Honolulu at
once. Mr.. Hatch, in an interview to-day
states that the object of his visit is to
see what aid the American government
will give in laying a cable between Hon
olulu and San Francisco. lie refused to
admit that there existed any immediate
danger of revolution in the islands and
declined to say anything about the nature
of the dispatches he had for Minister
Thurston. He, however, thought the con-
spiracy recently discovered amounted to
nothing, and although there are now no
war vessels at the islands, he did not
fear a rising.
