The Situation In Hawaii

From a private letter dated at Honolulú Jan. llth, the foltowing interesting statements are made of the true situation of affairs there : You will be anxious to hear personally from Honolulú, and in our excited state do not know who can write private letters. Well, as you will have learaed by the papers, the blow lias fallen and we are feeling the effects of Cleveland's poliny. We believe that he withdrew the men-of-war from here witli the hope if not the direct assurance to the rebels that it was bis wisli that they might succeed. But we can assure our friends of one thing, and that is the true American spirit is here and here to Btav, at any sacrifice. Monarehy is dcad for all time, and, although our own country and friends have deserted us in our time of need and have put u to the blush of humiliation, still we are true and tried Americana witli revolutionary blood in our veins. We have an unfaltering reverence for the flag whicli has been dragged in the mud by Cleveland- not by the American people. We have no personal fears for our . safety except for that of our soldiers. God knows when and how they will return to us. The republic can and will take care of itself. Onr two boys have been in the field since Monday with hardly a moment of sleep. C is captain of a volunteer company and H is a member of the same company. We hear good reports of their bravery. Professor Hosmer (the president of Oahu College) bas been in the field from the first as a sharpshooter, and, in fact, all our best citizens are under arrns. We are expecting to hear at any moment of the enemy's surrender, as they are being driven from ambush to ambush, in the mountains back of our place. It is now eveuiug and the Alameda has not been reported. We hope to have some decisive news to send forward by her. We are all about worn out with anxiety. Friday Morning- The Alameda is in and we cannot yet report the flghting over. The rebels are still in the mountains. They changed their position during the night so that it is hard to lócate them. Yesterday more prisoners were captured, but they could only teil where they left their leaders, Wilcox and Kowlein. You remember the dense lantana bush iu the mountains. This furnishes them liiding places, but their dislogment is only a matter of time. You will see by the list of arrests that many of the insurgente are in safe keeping, and it will go hard with them when the time of reckoning comes. Sam Parker and Charles Wilson have taken no part in the uprising, and they are about the only Royalists who are not under arrest. The Queen is badly frightened, but bas not as yet been arrested. She is being guarded and will be attended to later. I would write more, but the mail closes at noon. A correspondent of the Chicago ínter Ocean senda his impressions of the situation under the same date, as follows : 1. There is no general uprising of the natives on this island. l'. On the other islands nothing was known on Monday and Tuesday last concerning the attempted revolution here. 3. The better element ainong the natives on this island stand up for the republic. 4. The rank and file of the rebels are without enthusiasm for their cause. Having witnessed some of last Mondajr's skirmishes I am satisfled that the rebels care far more for their personal safety than for the defeatof govemment forces. 5. The latter are well organized and the rebels are not. Government forces are superior to the rebels in numbers and armament. 6. Evidently the backbone of the rebellion was broken last Monday. When the leaders, Robert Wilcox and Sam Nowlein, are captured and executed, and others who furnished the money for arms are severely punished, we sha] hear of no further eftbrts to reinstate Queen Lil. President Dole evidently does not fear assassination ; he frequently walks from his house to the Executive Building oi down town without a single attendant.
