VICTORIA, B. c.. March 12-The
/ steamship Miowera arrived at 4:3O
. this afternoon, seven days from
Honolulu. She brings no deported
revolutioniSts. 1t is understood
there were some offered, but the
company desired to take no risk in
the matter.
Honolulu advices to March are:
The work consequent upon the re-
bellion, SO far as the military Or
CARNATIONS are concerned, was prac-
tfcally completed on Friday when
the judge advocate of the military
commission announced that the gov
eminent had no more cases to bring
before that body. All the cases have
been acted upon, and the sentences
of only few minor offenders have
yet to be made known. The natives
convicted have as rule been SEN
fenced to five years imprisonment
at hard labor, the usual fine of
$4,000 being RENTED by the presi-
dent
The ex-queen has been sentenced
y
pay a fine of Sc, 1000 She is still con-
fined in the room in the executive
building where she was placed on
the day Of her arrest, and is under
military guard. Just what is to be
done with Liliuokalani is a question
which the government has not yet
answered. Certain it is that she
hn tn
building for five years or placed in
the Oahu prison. Undoubtedly be-
fore the end of the month some
proposition will be received from the
ex-queen's representatives whereby
she will either take up her rsidence
in one of the other islands or leave
the country, doubtless to
Ia GO TO ENGLAND. .'.e
She has private income of about
$4,000 year, which will not be in
lterfered with by the government.
1T will not be the policy of the gov
eminent to assume an arbitrary at
titude, should the ex-queen make
reasonable proposition.
Though the work of the military
commission is completed, that body
will not be dismissed or martial law de-
clared off until those who have signed
agreements to leave the country have
departed. The last batch is due to
leave March 16. Should any of these
men show a disposition not to comply
with their. agreement they will be
promptly arrested, put on trial before
the commission and sentenced. The
restrictions of martial law have been
raised to great extent. Citizens are
allowed on the streets at night with
out passes and the police have dis
carded their rifles. The attitude Of
the government in the deportation of
Cranston, Mueller and Johnston is ex-
pressed in this mornings Commercial
Advertiser, which says: 1.-The discus
sion arising from the deportation of
three political prisoners to Vancouver
while attracting more or less attention,
is not causing government officials any
fear from possible derogatory results.
The position Of the government, briefly
expressed, is: First, the act was JUS
tilted by the laws of Hawaii; second.
the act complained of was done by or
der OF the government of Hawaii
The movement for annexation is
gaining among the natives, and the
formation Of an annexation league by
Sam Parker, one of the queens com
missioners to Washington, and other
prominent natives and half-whites,
will doubtless result in monster an
nexation petitions from all parts of
the islands. A remark reported to
have come from prominent British
official that he expected this thing
would be repeated in a short time"
shows that while the superficial atti-
tude of the English may be friendly,
they have no deep-seated love for the
republic or the possibility of the Unit
ed States controlling this territory.
The stories published in American
papers of fortunes practiced upon poll
teal prisoners to bring about confess
sions have aroused a feeling of indig-
nation throughout the community.
They are so completely without foun-
dation that even the royalists condemn
the yarns, and it is hardly possible
that steps will be taken to discover
whether the articles originated here or
were manufactured in the United
States, the latter being the most gen.
orally accepted version.
An act was passed in the advisory
council appropriating sS5, 0oO to defray
the expenses of the rebellion, making
the whole expense up to the present
time $4,000.
