The British steamer Glenfarg. under charter to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, arrived from Hongkong via Yokohama and Honolulu yesterday. She was off the heads Friday night and an- chored inside the lightship until daybreak. The Glenfarg left Honolulu on the 11th inst. at 5:30 D. h., and the next day at noon the stars and stripes were to be raised Great preparations had been made for the event and the town was on the tfptoe of expectation when the steamer sailed
 The Glenfarg brought up a batch of warrants for the arrest of deserters from the army. It appears that great num- Der of the volunteers ran away in Hono- lulu and are making their way back to the coast on sailing vessels. Every sugar boat now on the way is said to have one or more deserters aboard. and the war rants will be served as soon as the the fleet reaches port. The barkentine c. D. Bryant which left Honolulu on the 9th inst, is said to have two deserters aboard and they will be arrested soon the vessel drops anchor.
 Just before the Glenfarg reached Ha- waii the American schooner Eric, from Puget Sound for China with a load of lumber, anchored off Honolulu. Captain Charles Roos was very sick and was
 
 ceeded on her voyage.
 The Glenfarg brought the following cabin passengers Pierce Dumarest. Lieu Becker and M Sarachieff In the steer age there were four soldiers, two of whom are time expired men," and the others were invalided home.
 The Glenfarg is to be followed by the Glengyle and the Glenshiel. The latter Is known here, having made a voyage under charter to the Occidental and Oriental lN,, .f1,- +1Ne finest class of tramp" that has ever come to San Francisco. All the material used in her construction Is of the very best. so while she was only built for "a ten-knot ship" she averaged eleven knots all the way from Hongkong to San Fran cisco. Her cabin accommodation is small but very comfortable while her carrying capacity is large The Glen line will only run until the Government turns the trans ports back to the Mall Company.
 The soldiers went aboard the troopship Arizona yesterday afternoon but 1t was this morning before the steamer went into the stream. She had to move at the top of high water because of her great draught, and even then she had some trouble getting away from the wharf. The Arizona is the largest transport that has so. far taken troops aboard. and she Is to be taken out by the youngest pilot in the port. Captain Fred Mathieson Is a native son, and besides being a clever navigator knows the harbor of Manila and its approaches. No better master could be got for plotting the big troop ship into deep water.
 The transport Humboldt got away for St Michael at 3:30 D. m. yesterday. Short ly before noon the soldiers were all paid and Sergeant Tom Mahoney had to send for another detail of officers in order to keep the men on the steamer. That money was burning hole in their pock- cts, and they wanted to spend some of 1t in the worst way. In spite of the vigi- lance of their guards some of the sol diers got away, and inside of thirty min- utes were extraordinarily happy. The Humboldt takes the members of the
