Hawafiaa Affair. SAX Feashsco, March 7 The bark Carrier Dove brings the following news, dated Feb.

18, from As tbe work of the provisional government proceeds the difference between tbe old and the Dew regimes becomes apparent and gives more satisfaction to the American resident here. No outbreak of any kind haa occurred, though it lacks but little of being one month since the old order of things was overturned. An inspection of the barracks made today showed everything in good oftter and prepared far any emergency. The forces of the provisional government number at present 85 men under regnlar pay, in addition to which three companies of volunteers of about the same numerical strength are being formed, two companies now having about their requisite quota. The men are armed with Springfield rifles, Buffington sight, and Winchester carbines, which were inherited from the monarchy.

In addition to this there are seven or eight dismounted siege guns, four fieldpieces ready for action and one catling gun, forming a battery, as one of the officers stated, that would prove an insurmountable barrier against attack. Threa American Crniser. The Americau vessel in the harbor ar the Mohican, which is used by Admiral Skcrritt asa temporary flagship; the Boston, which still remain under thp command of Captain Wiltz, and the Alliance, which arrived today. Admiral Skerritt, in an Interview, stated that it was something of a surprise to find the stars and stripes waviug over the government build lng on the arrival of the Mohican here. "I called on United States Minister Stevens," he said, "who informed me of the circumstances, and I can say I was glad to see the flag up." Admiral Skerritt.euidhe had no information as to what would be done at Washington.

He hnd lio information concerning the Adams and the Ranger, but their commanders had bfen uotifled some time ago to hold their vessels iu readiness for immediate service. The admiral declined to state what orders he had received from Washington, but it is understood that they are very full and explicit. He had heard a rumor that the German squadron, comprising the Alexandria, Sophie and Leipsic, now at Callao or Acapulco, might proceed to Honolulu, but saw no reason for their doing so. He knew of no prospect for trouble with any power growing out of the situation here, and especially none with Germany, whose interests are amply protected by local German representatives and American officials. the Em-Queen.

Captain Gordon, commanding the barracks tfnder the present military organisation, said today that while there was some question whether a general uprising ot native Hawaiians could be incited it was not because they Jaoked bravrf. hut rfther that the roer lestUrsh wanting "ifloitf mjnd on Siiudfly lftst I leafhed that bft project fooE furSiiepi fjlJiiValanL as she still is calleJ, t8 go to the palace. You may not understand that this wolud mean much to the native mind. It would mean, in fact, an assumption of royal authority On -Monday morning I issued the order that if Mrs. Uominis, tbe deposed queen.

attempted to enter, the palace gates without a pass properly signed admission should be refused, and if forcible eutry was attempted it should be resisted and the guard would be there In doublQtjuick time, "On Monday the rumors were repeated. and 1 reported what I had done to Colpnul Soper and President Dole, who approved it, and I have since issued the same order every morning. Xo attempt has yet been made by Mrs. Dominis to enter the palace, and Blie remains quietly at her Editor Sheldon Arretted. I uited fctates Minister Stevens insists that the annexation of the islands is the only logical sequence of he train of affairs, He expresses the opinion that tho senti ment of the uiled States is now practi cally a unit in favor of annexation.

As far as the Hawaiians are concerned, Minister Stevens has assurances from prominent- citizens ot Oahu and other islands that they will support the course of the United States government. The contract labor system might need some attention, bnt witn tue, expiration ot tho present con tracts that difficulty would be practically solved'. The locil papers "are full of articles bearing on the topic of annexation. Yesterday John Sheldon, one of the editors of Holmoa, was arrested on the charge of contempt of tbe legislative council in publishing in his paper an attack oh the provisional government. Insulted the Star and Stripe.

There was a escape loniubt from what might have been a serious tight between sailors from the American warships and the Hritish cruiser Garnet. The Knglish tars have boasted that, they would "do up" the Americans on the first-opportunity, and this came tonight. A gang of the Garnet's men, all well primed with whisky, began siuging "Britannia Rules the Wave" iu Nuuauu street, and when they had finished they made insulting remarks about the stars and stripes, and one fellow challenged American to take it up. Some of the Mohican's men were within hearing, ad if it had not been for the coolness of a petty officer there would have been a bloody fight. The expected trouble with Great Britain over the Kynncrsley incident did not occur.

Kynnersley, who is a British subject, refused to recognize the provisional government and tore down a proclamation when the revolution occurred. For this he was arrested, and he threatened to appeal to Great Britain for protection. On Feb. 13, however, when his case was called before tbe advise ry council, Kynnersley was very mild and humbly apologized and took the oath of loyalty to the new government. The coun cil thereupon dropped the whole matter.

I feel sick and diizy." The speaker was a well-known bnsinesa man who was going to his office on the fifth floor of the Mills Building, yesterday, by means of the passenger elevator. He got out at the third floor and walked np the rest of the way. A physician who Boticed this incident, in speaking of it afterwards, said: "That is a kind of sickness which is more common than most people suppose. In fact, hardly a week goes by but what I am called upon 'o treat people whj are suffering from it. I call it 'elevator although it is not lalays due to riding in elevators, but arises from a disease which is made apparent by motion of that kind.

A elevators are being more aad more need, the presence of this complaint is becoming more generally felt." ,1. 'Ton speak of a disease which is shown by this tendency to dizziness and sickness in elevators. Will you explain what yon mean, doctor the writer asked. The doctor tho ight awhile before replying, and then said: "These symptoms show thst there is too much bile in the system, and that means that the liver and kidneys are more or lees out of order. For this reason people who feel this dizziness and sickness should never allow It to pass unnoticed, but should take steps to remedy it without delay.

If they neglect to do so they will find before very long that the disease it indicates has gotten such a hold on them that they cannot shake it off, and doctors will be powerless to cure it" Every one who haa suffered from the painful symptons so plainly described in the doctor's words, will be interested in tbe following remarks on the subject, which should be carefully read. Mr. Francis McGovern, residing on 123d street, New York, says: "For several years I had strange symptoms, great pains and stiffness in my'bick, frequent headaches, poor appetite, irregular Bleep and a constant desire to void. Motion of any kind was unbearable. Friends advised the nse of different remedies, bnt I louad that there was only one thing that would help me con dition.

I am a well man to-day, but to the nse of that great remedy, which Warner's Safe Cure. It is the best medi cine ever made, and hoiks a high place in my estimation." D.

Many an hour have I walked the 4oor to gain relief, which only came with exhaustion.

I had suffered for twenty years from kidney disease. At time it bad been so bad that I could not ride two blocks, in the cars without feeling a desire to get off and void. At that stage ot my disease my wife begeed of me to try "a cer tain remedy, but I objected as I ha 1 no faith it but finally I yielded to her wishes. I am rejoiced to say that by the nse of Warner's Safe Cure I was restored to health and am a well man to-day. Mr.

Jesse Larrabee, the well known coun sellor-at law, whose office is at No. 55 Lib erty street says "I haye used Warner's Safe Care personally, and with the best results. I have recommended its use to very many friends and acquaintances during tbe past ten years, and it has invartab orcd eminently satisfactory. It cured my brother ot Bright Disease, and has always been cure for kidney troubles in all cases that have known, and where I have recommended it" ifceee people speak trom experience.
