The cruiser Philadelphia came down from Mare Island navy-yard and an- chored in the stream yesterday. Soon afterward Rear Admiral Miller's pennant was run up and a salute of thirteen guns fired The warship Is all ready for her trip to Honolulu, and will probably get away tomorrow or as soon as her fresh provisions have been put aboard. On his arrival at the capital of Hawaii, Admiral Miller and the Commissioners who will go down on the cruiser with him will hoist the Stars and Stripes, and the isl ands will thenceforth form part of the great American republic.

 The Wentworth added a little more notoriety to her record as a very hard ship while last in Hilo, Hawaii. She had a very hard crew, anyway, but, as usual, there were a few who were as bad as deep water men come; there were seven who showed their hands soon after the ship arrived in the harbor. They re- fused to work in port, and attempted to desert but the master appealed to the American Consul and they were arrested by the local police and returned to the custody of the ship, vowing to have ven- geance on the officers the first opportun- ity they had. They were placed In irons and thrown in the sail locker. But they did not remain there long before they set fire to set of new sails, which were mostly consumed. The Consul took hand after numerous appeals from Cap tain Baker and the mutineers were turned over to the local police again. They had another trial and were remanded to the custody of Captain Baker. This time he incarcerated them in a more secure place and promised to starve them until they turned to. Under this diet their senses returned and they were liberated Soon afterward three made their escape in one of the shore boats. The remaining four, seeing no other chance of escape, and the ship being loaded, jumped over the side, thinking to make the. shore, a good mile and a half, unaided, but they were drowned, as the current was strong and the wind blowing hard. It is now be- lieved by those familiar with the cir cutnstances that the mutineers who failed to escape vowed to fire the ship, and the report of her loss off the coast of Chile is a natural sequence.
