Rfckard and Walker VIII Not Receive
British Protection.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-The steam
ship China arrived from Honolulu to-
night, bringing the following advices to
the Associated Press up to May 20th:
The correspondence between British
Commissioner Hawes and the Foreign
Office will soon close, with the laurels in
the hands OF the Foreign Office. The
claim made by the political prisoners,
Rick ard and Walker, has been COM
pletely reiuted by the evidence sub
mitted by the Foreign Oflice. The
written application of these men
for naturalization, the payment OF
the fees, the taking of the oath of alle-
glance and the service Of year in the
Legislature OF one of them has been
carefully proved, and the British Com
missioner finds that he was deceived by
the statements Of these men, and he will
SO report to the British Foreign Office. 1t
was the expectation Of these mon that
the British Government would Interfere
and act in summary manner, and the
Royalists are bitterly disappointed that
the case goes against them.
There are many rumors OF flllbusterlng
expeditions from the coast. The Govern
ment received information OF such
positive nature regarding the fitting out
of one expedition from Puget Sound that
it at once armed The steamer Lehua and
commissioned 1t as q revenue cutter. 1t
has made several cruises around the
islands. but has not discovered any hostile
vessel.

retained by Jonah Kalanianaole to COM
mence habeas corpus proceedings in be-
half of the latter. kalanianaole was
Prince under the monarchy. Ho was
convicted on charge of mlsprlsion OF
treason, and was sentenced for three
years and pay fine of $1,000. He will
contest the constitutionality of the mill
tary court proceedings. The matter will
bs brought before the court within few
days.
The trial of John E. Bush and Joseph
Nawahi has ended in defeat OF the
Government. These men were arrested
previous to the January uprising on
charge OF conspiracy. They were COM
| nlitted for trial on the testimony OF two
disreputable individuals, who were spies
in The service of the Government. The
capture Of few rifles on Bush's premises
was the only damaging evidence against
the men. Nawahi was acquitted, and in
Bush's case the jury disagreed.
President Dole has named June 18th as
the day for the Legislature to meet in
extra session. 1t is expected that the
lawmakers will finish their work in
about thirty days.
The Government has made no move
toward appointing a Minister in the place
of Mr.. Thurston. There is no immedi-
ate necessity of doing so, as the republic
is well represented by Mr.. Hastings
Many prefer that he should be Mr.. Thurs
| ton's successor. The Government has
not considered the matter, as the situa-
ton does not demand immediate action.
