HATCH xu JIKVLY TO All the Clmrcen Acalntt TharUon Denied hr III * ( lovernment. SAN FRANCISCO , May 15. The steamer Australia from Honolulu May 8 , arrived today with the following : Minister Hatch has handed Minister Willis his answer In regard to the recall of Tburs- ton , which will go forward by this mall. It la a lengthy document and makes a general denial ot the charges against the Hawaiian minister. Tha latter's course Is upheld In every particular , Gresham Is Informed that Thurston will not bo returned to Washington , but the letter docs not name his successor. The decision of Lord Klmberley regarding Great Britain's position on the question of citizenship and protection to those concerned In the recent uprising has just been received In the cases of Walker and Rlckard , con victed of treason. According to this decision Walker and Rlckard are looked upon as citi zens ot Great Britain and subject to protec tion from that country. The decision Is par ticularly Interesting on account of the letter recently received from Secretary Gresham , which Indicates n policy directly opposed to that of Great Britain , Walker and Rlckard are naturalized citizens of Hawaii ; took the oath of allegiance to support the constitution and laws and swore allegiance to the king. Walker and Rlckard made oaths that when they took the oath ot allegiance to Hawaii ths king told them It would not affect their British citizenship , the British commissioner also coinciding In the statement. While the dispatch of Earl Klmberley simply states that Rlckard and Walker must be protected as British subjects , It makes no Indication ot what steps will be taken. It Is under stood the Hawaiian government will not ad mit for a moment that these men are British subjects and will accept the consequences , Hawaii Is willing to leave the matter to ar bitration as a final resort , but will not yield in any other way. In the archives of the Interior .office have been recently found the written applications of Walker and Rlckard requesting that thsj be allowed naturalization. These documents convlce them of falsehood and may close up the discussion , The Hawaiian oath of allegiance h as fol lows : Section 452. Every foreigner so natural Ized shall bo deemed to all Intents and pur poses a native of the Hawaiian Islands , bi amenable only to the laws of this klngdon nnd to the authority nnd control thereof ; b < entitled to the protection , ot the said lawi and be no longer nmsnable to his natlvi sovereign while residing In this kingdom nor entitled to resort to his native countrj for protection or Intervention. He shall bi amenable for every such resort to the palm and penalties attached to rebellion by thi criminal code. Earl Klmbcrley's decision setting at naugh this law has been made without asking foi the Hawaiian government's decision. Tin maintaining of the decision Is a matter , o much doubt. In view ot the action of Grea Britain In the matter ot Nicaragua , It I feared that the British may proceed to extreme tremo measures without submitting the mat ter to argument or arbitration. If this cours should be taken the republic may be asked t release Richard and Walker and pay a larg Indemnity at once , or It will bo threatenei with forcible occupation of the city. If ther should be a forcible occupation it would un questionably bo followed by Insurrection am bloodshed , as the natives would believe I meant nothing but the forcible restoration o the ex-queen. While the dispatch of Earl Klmberley slm ply stated that Richard and Walker must b protected as British subjects , It goc-3 n further and makes no Indication of the step which will bo taken. U Is understood tha the government will not admit for a momen that these men are British subjects , and wll accept the consequences. It would leave thi matter to arbitration as a final resort , bu will not yield In any other way. The many rumors regarding the arrival c a filibustering expedition have caused th government to charter an Island steamer fc the purpose of patrolling Hawaiian waters t prevent the landing of arms for the revolt tlonhts. Ashford , who was pardoned some week ago , left for San Francisco on the Austral ! ; It Is understood the government has d < elded to pay damages to J. J. Johnstone , on of the men who was forcibly deported froi this country. A claim was made In his beha by the British government. OltDKItS FUll Till !

Ui expected orders have been received fro ; Washington for the revenue cutter Grant Immediately prepare for sea. Some days ai the department ordered the cutter laid up f thirty days to effect necessary repairs. Tl work had besn fairly commenced when orde came to suspend operations and prepare for cruise to the North Pacific ocean. This mov mcnt Is thought to have been actuated by tl refusal of the British authorities to rene Bering sea ngulatlons and the desire of tl United States government to communlca with Its cutters now patrolling the sea. U der th ? present complicated arrangemenl should other cutters seize British sealers upi the high seas for violation of the sealii regulations , serious complications might arl between the two governments. As soon the Grant Is ready for sea she will leave f the north In search of Commander Hooper the steamer Rush , to whom dispatches fro department will be delivered. LONDON , May 15.

DUNN BROTHERS TAKEN FROM THEIR HOME Curried On Into the Mountnlin and No Tnico of Thorn llin llocn 1'ouiul , Though Tliclr 1'itto Is Abiolutoly Ccrlnln. OUTHRin , Okl. , May 15. Friends of New- combe and Pierce , the territory outlaws who were b.'trayed by supposed friends and as sassinated near Ingalls two weeks ago , have avenged the deaths of their comrades. Ac cording to a story of a courier who cameIn today from Ingalls , Okl. , John , Calvin and William Dunn had been kidnaped by a num- Jer of the dead outlaws' friends and lynched. At the tlmo of the killing local detectives took upon themselves the- glory of the cap ture of the outlaws , and put In claims for the large rewards that had been offered for their heads. A week ago the Dunns , at whose house the outlaws stopped on the night of the killing , were charged with beguiling them Into their home under guise of friend ship , and , after getting the two desperadoes drunk , riddled them with bullets as they slept. They had , It Is sad ! , been promised large sums of money by the detectives vrho had claimed the reward. The friends ol Newcombo and Pierce openly sworerevenge. . The Dunns barricaded their place , secured a substantial rupply cf arms and ammunition and made their ranch a veritable arsenal. Tluy hid lew until Sunday , says the cour ier , when some of them were seen about the place , apparently void of fear and believing that the expected raid was a bluff. That night the usual strict vlgllanc ? kept by the brothers was relaxed , In further belief thai they were free of molestation. The act , ll appear ? , proved fatal , and the three brothtrs were easily taken by their enemies. Late Sunday night a body of heavily armed mor drove up to the Dunn cabin , and , forming n cordon around It , call d upon the brothers tc come- out and surrender themselves , the marauders having previously fired a vo'.lej Into the air to awaken their Intended victims When the Dunns , John , Calvin and William saw the numbsr of those without they read ily realized the uselessness of making c fight and quickly surrendered. The women folks tried to dissuade tht captors from carrying out their purpose , bui were rudely pushed aside. The Dunns were placed upon horses , and , being told not tc mak > an outcry , were hastily driven of toward the mountains. Since- then nothing has been heard of the band or Its captive : and the general opinion Is that the Dunn ; have been lynched , as the feeling agalns them "was most bitter. Searching partlei are out looking for the bodies , but as the des peradoes probably took the victims to oni of their mountain rendezvous the prospect o tracing them Is very small.

This Is "Arkansai day" at Camp Schofleld , so named In honoi of the Arkansas companies that will drill fo prls.es this afternoon.

MEADE ON WAITING ORDERS Leave of Absence Granted Him Has Been Revoked by the Navy Department , REQUEST TO BE RETIRED ALSO DENIED All the Itrinlt of the Interview Recently 1'ubllnlied In a New Vork I'npcr Impos sibility ot Sccurhic Coinpctont Testi mony ( MIVCS Illiu Court Murthil. WASHINGTON , May 15. The secretary of the navy has Issued an order revoking the leave ot absence granted to Hear Admiral Meade several days ago. When Admiral Meade became dissatisfied with his command and asked to be detached from the command of the North Atlantic squadron ho also asked for a leave of absence- a year with per mission to go abroad , saying at the time that ho would ask In a day or two to be retired. The request to b3 detached was Immediately granted , as was the request for the year's leave of absence. Then came the request to bo retired , but before any action could be taken the Interview was published which has caused so much difficulty. No action has been taken upon the request for retirement , but the action revoking the leave of absence Indicates that the request for retirement will not be compiled with. The effect will be to place Admiral Meade on waiting orders , sub ject to any duty , at any time , to which the department may desire to assign him. It was understood the leave of absence granted Admiral Meade contained permission to go abroad and ho Intended to spend the summer In Europe , lie could not go abroad while on waiting orders without violating the naval regulations. If he were not ready to respond to any order of the department whsn Issued he would also be subject to dis cipline for not obeying orders. It Is believed now that It Is hardly likely that any action will bo taken to court martial Admiral Meade for his expression of disap proval of the administration , as It Is said to be Impossible to obtain testimony from com petent witness's. Civilians cannot be obliged to testify In naval courts martial , although their testimony may be taken If voluntarily offered. It Is not believed that any direct testimony against Admiral Meade can be ob tained. NEW YORK , May 15.

MILWAUKEE , May 15. Advices from New York state that application will be made In the United States court In this city tomor row for a recalvcr for the Milwaukee street railway properties. The company has de faulted on three eels of coupons , but It was hoped that It would be able to meet the Juno obligation. Such will not bo the case , how- over. Two receivers will probably be ap pointed , ono In New York and one In this city.U . U Is understood that the North American company and other large bondholders have agreed upon a plan of reorganization of the Milwaukee property. Director Ptlster said this evening : " \Ve out here know nothing definite In regard to the matter. Mr. Payne went east to confer with the eastern bondhold ers as to whether Interest on the bonds should be passed this Juno again or not. There was but one alternative. Either the coupons must b ; paid June 1 or the road go Into the hands of receivers. So far wo have heard nothing officially as the result of Mr. Payne's trip. This looks as If they had decided that It wan best to make application for a receiver. " \Vo have a good property and If It Is put on a cash basis there Is no doubt that It will pay. At present It Is one of these Vltlard affairs and the poor bondholders have to suf fer the results of his financiering. The property - erty will doubtless be entirely reorganized and Its bonded Indebtedness cut down. The bondholders will take the matter Into their own hands and look after the property. "Of the $10,000,000 or more of bonds the North American company owns about $5,100- 00. The Deutsche bank of llcrlln , Germany , olds about $3,000,000 and the rest Is dls- rlbuted In small lots here and In the east , cfore the board of review last summer Mr. 'ayne ' , who was contesting the assessment f the company , made affidavit that the com- any's property carried a mortgage bonded ndebtedness as follows : Underlying bonds , 1,500.000 ; first mortgage bonds , $10,000,000 ; ccond mortgage bonds , $1,300.000 ; making a otal bonded Indebtedness of $12,800,000 , At he same time the capital stock of the cor- oration was placed at $1,000,000.
