AMICABLY SETTLED.

San Francisco, June 27.-The steamer
Gaelic brought the following advices
from Honolulu, II. l.. June 20:
Since the Philadelphia has been in
port, weekly battalion drills have been
held. On the 18th the men from both
the Marion and the flagship were
grounds an orderly brought an order
and the battalion returned on board.
This action was taken, it is understood,
on account Of a rumor to the effect
that the Naniwa would land a force of
men 10 take charge of the Hawaiian
custom house. The japanese failed to
act and it is believed that Admiral
Bardslee's prompt action caused the
captain of the Naniwa 20 change his
mind.
The English-s speaking people here be-
lleVe that there was good foundation
for the rumor in spite of the denial
made at the japanese legation.
There are all kinds. of rumors float
ing around. said fessnsellor Akiyama
'One ridiculous one was. that the jap
anese sailors were to land and take
charge of the custom house. Another
is to the effect that the Naniwa is TO
leave on Wednesday next. That ru-
NOR, and also the other, is without
any foundation whatever About two
months hence another man-of-war will
be here and the Naniwa is likely to
leave before then"
