Ter.as of imprisonment.

Tersas of imprisonment.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.-The steamer
Australia arrived on Saturday, seven days
from Honolulu. Among her passengers
are thirteen exiles from tho Hawaiian
Islands. Among the number are only
few who have been accused of actual COM
plicity in the recent revolution. The others
are mostly Britishers and Germans who
made themselves obnoxious to the repub,
lican government by doing too much talk
ing.
The most important news brought by
the steamer was the decision of President
Dole and cabinet committing to imprison-
ment the death sentences imposed by court
martial upon Wilcox, Seward, Rickard
and Gulick, the four leading rebel plot
ters. The sentences were commuted to
thirty five years imprisonment and fine
of Sit, 900 each.
1t appears that President Dole has been
opposed to executions. and his feelings
Nert shared by members of the cabinet.
The othor sentences are; Thomas Walker,
thirty years and a fine OF 5000; Carl
Wldeman, thirty years; William Grcig,
twenty years, and Louis Marshall, twenty
years. The last two werc fined $4,000
each. James G. Lane was given five years
and n fine of So 600.
Samuel Nowlein and Henry Bcrtlcman,
two of the prominent leaders, have been
allowed their liberty. They gave valuable
evidence for the government.
Although the ex-queen's sentence has
not been made public, the Associated Press
correspondent was informed by cabinet
officer that she has been sentenced to serve
five years in prison and to pay fine of
S5.CQO 1t is understood that the sentence
will not be changed by the president.

MANY MINES FLOODED.
Danger from the Flood at wiIIiamsport
and Surrounding Towns.

WiLKEsBARRE, Pa, March 4.-The Ice
In the Susquehanna river began to move
yesterday morning. Shortly after noon
there was gorge at the Nanticoke dam
and another Mt Port Bowkley. At 8 o'clock
last evening all the lowlands on the west
side of the river between Coxton and Nan
ticoke were flooded Considerable damage
has been done Several mines were flooded
and n span of the new bridge at Plymouth
was c. ried away. Fears are entertained
that II the leo goes out rapidly the whole
structure will be wrecked. At Avondale
the people had to flee to the second stories
of their houses for safety. Outhouses, pig
pens and other light buildings were carried
away. The main street OF tho town Is
blocked with huge cakes of ice.
At Wyoming the collars of all the houses
were filed. There is mountain of ice at
Port Bowbley. 1t threatens to submorge
the tracks Of the Lehigh Valley railroad.
1t was first thought that the railroad
bridge at this point would be carried away,
but it is hoped that tho danger is over for
thcprcsent Three feot of water cover the
lowlands between Wilkesbarre and Kings
ton. Farmers in the vicinity have removed
their live stock to higher ground The
street cars have stopped running.
