HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
Some uneasiness is felt about the condition of things m Hawaii, and the talk fs a purpose to depose King Kalakaua on account of his excesses and- waste of public money. A large shipment of arms and ammunition, end munitions of war from San Francisco 'to Honolulu by the B'l. Australia on June 20 is thought to have some bearing on this. The German residents of the island recently presented to Mr H. F. Glade, the Imperial German Consul at Honolulu, a •eriei of complaints against the adminis tration of the insular Government, and the danger existing to life and popecty. King Ealakaua ia Bharply arraigned aa guilty of various off jnces against deoensy, morality, and good order, and his Government li declared to be tottering to Iti fall. With regard to the ihlpment of arms, the opinion of bmineas men m San Franoiaco Is that it is to the order of American and English residents, who fear that the Chinese, now outnumbering In m»le adult population all the other m habitants of the Islands being exasperated by the extortion! of the King, will revolt. * Tbe arms Me thefore imported for selfprotflotion In saoh an event.
