Three olf the men died while hanging in the air and their bodies were clashed against the side of the vessel. Several others were washed overboard, bn : how manyis not definitely known. Two men are in the rigging still alive. Cries of “For God's sake save usn are heard; coming from the, unfortunate men, but the surf is so high that it is impossible to launch a boat.

", ’ The vessel struck in the outer bay off Lone Hill life-saving station. The life-saving crew, as soon as they discovered the vessel's^ plight, made preparations for a rescue. Their life-sav-ing apparatus was brought to the beach and a line shot over the vessel, but the unfortunate men who iiad sought refuge in the rigging were unable to get to it, probably because they, were benumbed and thoroughly exhausted. The life-savers then attempted to launch their boat, but the high sea and wind made .it impossible for them to do so, and they were compelled to stand idly by and sCe the poor sailors perish, for ah hour later the crew commenced to drop info the water. This morning but two of their number remained.

The schooner Manning’, the crew of which was taken off in safety, and which went ashore near where the other vessel struck, is in the outer bay and has all her sails se^t.

All the standing rigging and the running gear on the foremast was encrusted with ice formed by freezing spray until ropes an inch thick were at least ten inches ip diameter, and it was almost impossible to see forward from the bridge. The steamer was so weighted down with ice that she was listed to starboard at an anglexof nearly 45 degrees. The steamer heeled down so far as to make it a matter of considerable difficulty to walk along her decks, even with the assistance of life lines. Capt. Mills told the United Press representative at quarantine that if the moderate weather had continued he would have reached this port on Wednesday night, but the howling hurricane which struck her last Monday upset all calculations for a good passage. Frqm 10 o’clock Tuesday morning, till noon of Wednesday the >hip was hove to. The Manitoba's captain, Griffith, had almost exactly the same experience as the Rhineland, but did not suffer so much from the ice. She is a very large high-side vessel and the spray did not reach her decks. The lowest temperature she experienced was on the 8th, when the thermometer went down to 19 deg. above zero.

Tlie Cuuarder Umbria arrived yesterday morning. Her voyage was uneventful, as far as the weather was concerned. An incident of the voyitge, however, and one wh ich many of ■lie passengers witnessed, was the rescue of the crew of a waterlogged French bark, which proved to be the Jean Baptiste, of Havre, with a cargo of lumber from Halifax fcr Cark. The bark was waterlogged, and the crew made signals that they wished to be taken off. ('apt. Dutton ordered a boat lowered which took off four of the crew, and ten others came alongside in two boats belonging to the bark. They had7 been helpless for several days at the mercy of the weather, and had kept distress signals flying during the day and flare lights burning at night in the hope of attracting passing vessels. Capt. Libot, of the bark, said that his men saved none of their effects. They speak: no English and win be cared for by the French consul. : BROKE !IN TWO.

Victoria, B. CL, Feb. ll.-—Th<r steamer Warrirooo arrived here Saturday night from Honolulu, bringing news ofiappenings there up to February Z. On board the Wsrrimoo are three men who have been exiled by the Hawaiian government for participation in the recent rebellion. They are J. Cranstoh, A- Mueller and J. BJohnson. Mr. Cranston, upon arrival here, sent for the American consul. He intends placing his case in the hand's of the American authorities, and will seek redress for the expulsion of M uglier, Johnson and .himself. Six of the rebels have been sentenced to death for complicity in the recent uprising. The general belief in Honolulu, however, was that no capital punishment would be meted out to the rebels, the first hot feeling of resentment against* the disturbers having passed away and given place to one of mercy and moderation. The trial of the ex-queen has probably already occurred. The charges and specifications were served upon her on January 31, and the trial was set for the following week. Her own. diary, found at Washington palace,, will be put in as important evidence -against her. . The impression is general that she will plead guilty. Among the passengers who arrived bn the WAirimuo was h\ W. Holmes, private secretary to Hawaiian Minister of Finance Damon. The Advertiser of January 81 pointedly animadverted upon the impropriety of foreign representatives in termingwith local political affairs, and by their interposition embarrassing the action of the new government. Within a few days much resentment has been expressed about some interference of this nature which has recently come to ^Hjjlit. It is positively asserted that early in the recent ontbreak United States Minister Willis and British Commissioner Hawes joined in re- * questing President Dole to reprieve the British Snd Americans supposed to be under sentence of death until such a time as their respetive government* could be communicated with and instructions received as to the course of action they should pursue.

President Dole has not yet replied to this request^ and it is not. positive that the capital sentence will be carried out. The heated outcry for such executions which prevailed here at first has subsided. There is no doubt but that the executive will extend to the ex-queen the utmost elemeney consistent with the public safety. The trial*5 of V. V. Ashford fhsted during part of four days. Nowlein testified to having arranged with Ashford for that part of the proposed attack on the 3d which was to be made from the fish npdrket. Davies testified to having consulted Ashford about getting and landing the arms on the day he went to sea to meet the schooner. 6 Kaal testified to his copying and the ex-queen signingon the iSthof December a commission for V. V. Ashford as an associate justice of the supreme court. Several witnesses testified to Nowlein's repeated interviews with Ashford. A vigorous defense was made for the accused. Both himself anil bis brother testified that the interviews with Nowlein related to various items of legal business, especially as to advice what to do in case of a search warrant coming to Washington palace. *- V. V. Ashford testified that lie was attorney for Davis in : various claims made against him. lie stated that he knew nothing about the arms 'or the * proposed movement, lie had advised Davis to keep clear of any movement conducted by natives, as it would fail. Nowlein had said to him that if the natives rose they would rise as one. Arms were not necessary— they could accomplish the undertaking with clubs. He had told Nowlein that there was no possible chance of the restoration of the monarchy, and the ex-queen's sun had set when she refused the terms of Minister Willis, lie was surprised to learn that such a foolhardy attempt had been made to restore the monarchy, and said that he had been in ill-health for some months and in no condition to take part in the movement. On the 1st day of February the court proceeded with the trial of twenty-two natives. The decision and sentences of the court will probably be pronounced after the conclusion of the ex-queen’s trial.
