The Ex-Queen Of Hawaii May Go to Eng

Has an Income Large Enough to Sup.
port Her in Comfort - News
From Honolulu.

The steamship Miowera arrived at Vic
toria, B. c., at 4:30 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, seven days from Honolulu. She
brought 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 fol-
low:
The work consequent to the rebellion, SO
far as the military organizations are con-
cerned. was practically completed on FRI
day. when the judge advocate Of the mill
tary commission announced that the gov
eminent had no more cases to bring be-
fore that body. All the cases have been
acted upon, and the sentences Of only a
few minor offenders have yet to be made
known. The natives convicted have, as a
rule. been sentenced to five years impris-
onment at hard labor, the usual fine Of
5000 being RENTED by the president
The ex-queen has been sentenced to five
years Imprisonment and to pay a fine Of
5000. She Is still confined in the room Of
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 will not be kept in
the executive building for five years or
placed in the Oahu prison. Undoubtedly
before the end Of the month some PROPOSE
ton will be received from the ex-queen's
representatives. whereby she will either
take up her residence on one of the other
islands or leave the country, doubtless to
go to England. She has a private income
OF about ten thousand year. which will
not be interfered with by the government
1t will not be the policy of the government
to assume an arbitrary attitude should the
eX-queen make reasonable proposition.
Martial Law still in Force.
Though the work Of the military COM
mission is completed that body will not be
dismissed or martial law declared off until
all 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 disposition not to COM
ply with their agreement, they will he
promptly arrested. put on trial before the
commission and sentenced.
The restrictions of martial law have been
retired to a great extent. Citizens are al
lowed on the streets at night without pass
es and the police have discarded their
rifles. The attitude of the government in
the deportation of Cranston, Mueller and
johnson is explained in this mornings
Commercial Advertiser, which says the dis
cussion arising from the deportation of
three political prisoners to Vancouver
while attracting more or less attention, is
not causing the government officials any
fears from possible derogatory results. The
position of the government briefly ex-
pressed is: The act was justified by the
laws of Hawaii. Second, the act complain
ed Of was done by right of the govern
ment of Hawaii.
The movement for annexation is gaining
among the natives and the formation of
annexation league by Sam Parker, one of
the ex-queen's commissioners to Wash
ington, and other prominent native Ha-
waiians and half-breeds, will doubtless re-
suit in monster annexation petitions from
all parts Of the islands.
The British Feeling.
A remark reported to have come from
a prominent British official that he ex-
pected this thing would be repeated in a
short time" shows that while the super
fetal attitude of the English may be friend
ly they have no deep-seated love for the
republic the possibility Of the United
States coI.tolling this territory. The sto-
