THE DAILY
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER "a, 1888.

A MAN on the street the other day
asked ''Who was DIR. Hillebrand? .
The remark being called forth by dis
cussion in the Legislature relative to
allowing the late Dr.. IS book to come into
the country duty free. In the remark
we have a clear exposition OF how very
transient is the reputation OF even the
most prominent of us. Twenty years
ago there was not a man. woman or
child on the whole islands, native or
foreign, who did not know the Doctor.
Besides being skilled in his profession
and occupying prominent positions the
Doctor was constant traveller over the
group, tramping on foot over the noun
tains and penetrating the deepest val
legs Wonderful stories used to be told
by the natives of his activity and pluck
in climbing breakneck places in search
of plants, for he was a most enthusiastic
botanist.
I from the preface of the Doctors book
we gather the following outline of DR..
Hillebrand's career, which will give our
questioning friend the answer ne needs ::
DR.. Hillebrand was born at Nieham,
Westphalia, in 1921. He studied at the
Universities of Gottingen, Heidelberg
and Berlin. In the exercise of his pro-
fessiOn he visited and was resident in
Australia, Manila, California and finally
these Islands. During his residence
here DIR. Hillebrand was private physi-
clan to Kamehameha v, was physician
OF the Queens Hospital and Insane
Asylum, was a member OF the Board of
Health, of the Royal Hawaiian Agricul-
tural Society and of the Privy Council
In 1866 he made voyage to China
and the East Indies as Commissioner Of
immigration for the Hawaiian Govern
ment It was during this trip that the
Doctor collected plants and birds which
he introduced into the country We
may say that he did not introduce the
lantana. He left the Islands in 1871
and made his residence in Germany,
Madeira and the Canary Islands.
His book, which we intend to review
in few days, is a valuable contribution
not only to the literature of the Islands,
but to the general botanical knowledge
of the world.

U. S. S. ADAMS,
OFF WEST CAPE,
ISLAND TUTUILA, SAMOA,

Sept. 10, 1888.
My last dated Tuesday the 11th was
written, as | supposed, at the last posi-
BILE moment, little thinking at the time
that we would come down here to meet
the mail steamer Zealandia from the
Colonies. However, events happened
so thick and fast the next day that the
Captain thought it best to come and
bring his own and the dispatches of the
U. S. Consulate. [ wrote you of the
popular rebellion against Tamasese, and
little did l think at the time that events
would eliminate so thick and fast.
At II As p. m. of the 18th we were
all aroused from our customary lethargy,
while sitting on the poop, by a musket
shot, followed Immediately by volley
after volley from the direction of Ma
tanta Point, distant 700 or 800 yards
from the ship. 1t seems that the forces
in rebellion against German rule and
Tamasese had attacked the Notifications
just in rear of that Point. There were
about 600 engaged on both sides, though
the revOlutiOnists had 900 or 1000 men
in reserve that were not called upon.
The forces of Mataafa, recently elected
King of Samoa by the reVOlutionists,
under the title of Mataafa Malietoa,
after several hours brisk fighting, car
ried the entertainments and drove Tam
assess men, a part up the beach in
boats, part into the sea Cor the reef off
the Point to their boats some distance
off, and a part into the bush They
killed and wounded several of those
driven into the sea while escaping to
their boats. The last remaining fort
was taken by Mataafa's people at 2
O'Clock a. m. of the 18th, and skirmish-
ing was carried on for about three hours
longer, thus making an almost COntinu-
Gus engagement OF nearly fifteen hours.
Those in rebellion now have posses
sion of the Point and of Apia. Tama-
sese, his prime minister Brandeis, and
his few remaining followers, are hem
med up at Mulinuu Point, which has
always been his headquarters, protected
by the guns of the German corvette
Adler and force of sixty-fve sailors on
shore in entertainments, landed from
that vessel with the avOwed intention of
protecting German property and
''Others," said others being Tamasese,
Brandeis, and their few follow ers. 1t is
hard to learn the exact number of casu-
alties. There were twenty wounded and
two killed on Mataafa's side, and ten
killed, wounded unknown, on Tama-
sese's. l suppose fifty or sixty will
cover all casualties
An Englishman named Bisset was
killed by one of Tamasese's
men. sailor on the Adler was
wounded by a stray bullet from the
through the throat; and
our vessel was hit, bullet being picked
up in the fore chains next day, but no
one on board was hurt We frequently
heard the bullets whizzing over our
heads. understand Mataafa has sent
word to the German Consul that he in
tended to attack Mulinuu Point, and if
he did not withdraw his men they would
be hurt

The Drowning at Kukuihae1e.

a correspondent at Kukuihaele sends
the following particulars of the drowning
accident there previously reported:
On Saturday the 18th inst. at about 5
o'clock in the afternoon three Portu
guese, j. Moniz de Mideiros, Manoel
Mideiros and his younger brother were
picking opihis from the rocks at the old
landing in Kukuihaele. Manoel, a
young man of twenty years, slipped and
fell in the water. His companion quickly
threw a rope to the spot, but the man
did not come to the surface again.
The Iwalani happened to anchor at
Waipio. On Sunday some Portuguese
succeeded in getting a letter to Captain
Weir, requesting him to send a boat
over to the place where the accident
had happened and to try to find the
body. The Captain set out at once with
a boat, but after a long unsuccessful
search ordered the boat back. Just as
it had left up came up big shark with
the drowned man, disappeared and
came up again The boat was called
back and the body could now be seen in
the water But as it was too dangerous
to dive and fight with the sharks for
their prey, iron hooks were procured and
finally they succeeded in catching the
corpse and bringing it on land. Only
little flesh of one leg was eaten by the
sharks.
Much praise is due to Captain Weir
for his willingness and energy, for if it
had not been for him the body would
probably never have been recovered
from its watery grave.

Z. S. S. ADAMS,
APIA. SAMOA,

OcpI. III, 1000.
Our orders to return to Frisco
also came believe it is to do so with
out waiting for our relief, but lust like
the luck which has pursued US all the
cruise, We cannot do SO. l. Because we
have to wait for coal and provisions
from Australia. 2. Because, principally,
since my last letter was written, a serious
revolt against the Government of Tama-
sese has broken out here.
Brandeis, or rather Tamasese through
Brandeis, issued an order some time ago
for the natives to turn in sets OF their
fine mats (which pass here for money
and are family heirloOms) to the King
This occasioned great discomfort, be-
cause the King redstributed them and
some, of course, were sighted. Not
satisfied with this, he wished to take the
name of MaietOa, which means great
warrior" He wished to do this in order
that other nations or nativesl might
think the genuine MalietOa had returned
to Samoa and was again King. The
chiefs would not give the honor to him
would give him all but that one. The
Council broke up, and the different
clans, tribes, or messengers, took to the
bush about the 1St September.
Those in rebellion are increasing
every uaP ana NUMBER now O,OUU OF
1000, and still there are lots from the
other islands who intend to join and are
now on their way. Tamasese's own i'm
mediate family and tribe have deserted
him, and he has now at Mulinuu Point,
his headquarters, just out OF the city,
only 200 or $50 men. [ was informed
the other day that he wished to abdicate,
but that Buker German Consult and
Brandeis, his prime minister, would not
allow HIM so to do.
Day before yesterday, under pretext
of protecting German property, but in
reality to protect Tamasese, the German
man-Of-war Adler took five boats in tow,
proceeded to the island of ManOnO, be-
tween Upolu and Savii, and shelled
native village. The inhabitants thereof
(men) were all, with few exceptions.
with those in rebellion at Fangalan, six
miles from here. Our Captain protested
against such action on the part of the
man-of-war OF civilized nation, but the
Captain of the Adler referred him to
Buker, German Consul. However, the
natives which the Adler took to ManOno
were afraid to land and burn the viii
lagos, SO they returned here without
accomplishing their object.
Tamasese's party are not paying very
much attention to the rights of neutrals,
as they removed four houses from the
property of an American and took down
the American flag flying on it.

The Blue Ribbon Concert.

The entertainment of the Blue Ribbon
League at the Y. NJ. G. A last Saturday
evening was very successful. There was a
very full audience present, including a
large number OF the class aimed at. The
opening piece was piano solo by Miss
May E. Dillingham;, a pupil of Mrs. L. l..
Van Slyke, and it is only fair to state that
she played it we'll. The next was reading
by Mr.. James Keola, in place of a read
ing that was to be given by Mr.. J. S.
Kalakiela, the latter gentleman having
misplaced his book Then came a sweet
Hawaiian song by Mr.. Thos. K. Nathan
lei with guitar accompaniment, and his
singing was so greatly liked that he was
obliged to sing another Hawaiian mel
Ody. Miss Eva l.. White, of San Fran
cisco, next gave a recitation which cap
tivated the audience from beginning to
end. The young lady's style of delivery
was so cOmical that at the conclusion of
the first piece the audience insisted on
her giving another, which she did. In
the second piece Miss White showed
a perfect mastery of comedy. The next
piece was song rendered by Miss Fried
ericke j. Nolte, with Prof. ii. Berger as
accompanies Miss Nolte sang German
song, entitled ':The Girl and the Flow
ers,' which was highly admired. This
young lady is possessed of very rich
voice of high compass, and is we'll Gull
tivated. Her high notes were reached
with little effort. Miss Nolte was en-
cored, and she sang another charming
German song, producing the sameeffects.
The Rev. S. Z. Bishop then gave sound
temperance address, followed with brief
remarks by the Rev. III. Fl. Gowen.
This closed the evenings entertainment
