For several days there has been more or
less talk on the streets about a filibuster-
ing expedition that was said to be on the
way to the islands. But little. credence
was placed in the report until yesterday
when the matter was brought to the atten-
ton of Marshal Brown by the military au-
thorities.
Last night there was a meeting at the
police station in regard to the matter,
which was attended by Captain McStocker
of the Citizens Guald Marshal Brown,
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock and representa-
tives of the military. There was consider
able discussion about the flibusters and
their possible numbers. plan of attack, ETC.
Advices by the Australia were to the
effect that large body of men were on
their way to the islands to attempt to
overturn the Government. The revolu-

have several cannon along. 1t was gener-

ing at some point on Maui, or possibly
Hawaii, take possession of that portion OF
the country and establish q government OF
their own. This has always been the plan
of the filibusters that were said to be plan
ming to capture the Dole Government.
Evidently the Government people put
some dependence in the reports, for liberty
among the soldiers has been stopped for a
number of days, that is, in numbers larger
than ten or dozen at time. Cannon
and Gatling guns have been placed in
position before the barracks and other
preparations made to give the enemy a
warm reception on arrival.
Honolulu has had another sensation the
last two days which has been the topic of
conversation to the exclusion even of
cholera. Readers of THE GALL will remem-

newspaper man who got into the cholera
hospital here by pretending to have the
disease, so the doctors say. After his dis
charge he tried hard to get his experiences

Godfrey did a large amount Of talking on
street corners. and it is this talking that is
supposed to have led to his being tarred
and feathered.
