Leniently-No Danger of Injustice.

VICTORIA. B. c., Feb. 10-As announced
early this morning, the steamer Warrimoo
arrived here at midnight, bringing advices
from Hawaii dated Feb. 2. The Associated
Press correspondent at Honolulu says: There
is a lull in affairs here and quiet will prob
ably reign until the military court now sit
ting will have finished its work. There are
large number of conspiracy cases yet to
be tried. and the probabilities are that the
court will sit for two or three weeks at
least Great interest is attached to the
Forthcoming trial of the ex-Queen The gov
ernment claims to have more than suffi-
Gent evidence to convict her of treason.
What her punishment will be in case OF con-
viction is hard to conjecture. Her case will
probably come up on next Monday. She is
charged with treason. The charge reads:
,First-Treason. by engaging in open re-
bellion against the Republic of Hawaii, by
attempting by force of arms to overthrow
and destroy the same. by levying war
against the same. and by adhering to the
enemies of the Republic of Hawaii. giving
them aid and comfort within the Hawaiian
islands and elsewhere.
Second Treason, by aiding, abetting. pro-
curing. 'counseling, incjting, countenancing
and encouraging others to commit treason
and to engage in open rebellion against the
of arms to overthrow the same. and to ad-
here to the enemies of the Republic OF
the Hawaiian islands and elsewhere

years and a fine of not less than $1,000
The six leaders were all sentenced to be
hung They are: CT aries r. Gulick, Will
liza m H. Rickard, William r. Seward,
Robert W. Wilcox. Samuel Nowlein and

ment. GuIick was born in this county.
Rckard is an Englishman. Wilcox is a
Hawaiian. The only of the four who
is entitled to the protection of the United
States is William T. Seward. As yet NJ

vices. He is not SO belligerent in his de-

bellion. and Thomas Walker, who pleaded
guilty to the charge of treason.
