Spreckels' Part In It.
San Francisco, Feb. 7. A special
from Honolulu gives further particulars
of Budolph Spreckels' connection with
the rebellion. Among the papers seized
at Liliuokalani's house was a diary with
entries made last June and July referr
ing to Budolph" Spreckels' advice that
she resort to force to regain her throne.
The general impression in Honolulu is
that Budolph Spreckels did not purchase
arms for the revolutionists himself,
merely advancing funds for the arms
which were purchased for the ex-queen
bv some one else. Liliuokaloni's dairy
refers to the commission appointed by
her.eeveral months ago to proceed to
Washington and ascertain if President
Cleveland would take further steps to
restore her to power. She writes that
she informed Spreckels that she thought
Cleveland would favor arbitration rather
than force of arms. The special corres?
pondent at Honolulu claims to have
positively learned that some of the
leaders of the rebellion have been sen
tenced to death.

Announcement of Another Bond Issue.
Washington, Feb. 7. It is confidently

row or Saturday,' independant of tba
action of the house this afternoon, on
the Springer bill. The net result of the
negotiations in progress for the last two
or three weeks is said to be a practical
agreement among London and New York
bankers and the president for the issue
of $100,000,000 4 per cent bonds on an
interest basis of at least 3K per cent, if
not greater. It seems almost certain
that $50,000,000 will be offered to our
people and the other $50,000,000 sold in
London.
