Col. McLean In Command.
Indianapolis, Ind., June 1.-A private letter from Honolulu, under date of May 20, printed in the News today, says, among other things, that McLean, late of the United States army and navy, who had charge of General Grant's funeral procession, has been made colonel of the Hawaiian regiment.
He arrived on the last boat and took charge at once. He is regarded by the troops as thoroughly military, and has made some radical changes and inaugurated a course of strict discipline which has heretofore been rather lax.
The letter adds that there are lots of rumors afloat on the island of a filibustering expedition that is supposed to be on its way down to the island, or else getting ready to come. The Government has hired a steamer, placed a cannon on board, and has it patrolling around the islands watching for any suspicious vessels that come in sight.
