CASUALTIES.
Among those opposed to the rioters,
the only serious casualty that we have
been able to learn, previous to going to
press, was a wound in the shoulder re-
ceived by Lieut.. Parker; and it is sup
| posed it was from shot fired by Wilcox
On the side of the rioters there were
seven killed and twelve wounded, several
seriously. The killed were: Paul, G
drayman in the employ of Macfarlane
& Co.; Luika, kanaka in uniform !;
Hiki, driver for Waller & Co.; Palau,
driver for G. Hustace; Pelelua, harness
maker with Foster & Co.; and two others
whose names are not known. They have
| been taken to the undertaker's for coffins.
| The wounded, so far as We have
! been able to find out, are: Robert
Boyd, shot in the leg and also grazed in
the head, both painful wounds but not
considered serious; George Markham,
shot through fleshy part of arm;
kanaka, whose name we did not learn,
was shot in the hand rather seriously.
Kamai, formerly schoolmaster at Wal
pic, was one of the rioters who deserted
Wilcox and jumped the wall. He was
wounded in leg and hand. Wilcox is
said to have shot two of his own men
who were attempting to desert, and
there are nine others whose names were
unknown when we received the report.
Drs. Rodgers and Wood are engaged
dressing the wounds of the prisoners at
the several places of confinement.
1t was reported that the hall negro
killed in front of the Government build
ing was John Hapa, but the name is
doubtful.
A number of the rioters escaped by
jumping over the Palace wall and run
ming the gauntlet, but most OF these will
yet be arrested. There are only some
fifty arrests of rioters made altogether.
The Bungalow was very much dam
aged by the dynamite Enthusiastically
torn to pieces, and the Opera House is
also somewhat damaged.
CONCLUDING REMARKS.
The military arrangements made by
Col. V. V. Ashford were of the most per-
feet description, and that gentleman de-
serves great credit for his skill and energy
in pushing the military operations to a
rapid and successful termination. Major
Hebbard is also entitled to large need
of praise for carrying out skilfully the
details entrusted to him.
The following persons we're arrested
for treason, although they were not
actively engaged in the riot: J. D.
Mcdonald, Joseph M. Poepoe and Char
les Clark. These men were arrested
during the day; but the police had a
string of other names whose owners will
be arrested later for the same offence.
Among the rioters were number of
ex-polcemen.
His Excellency L. A Thurston arrived
by the Stmr. Kaala Wednesday morning
He had gone to Molokai to quell dis
turbance there, and the Kaala was dis
patched early Tuesday to bring him
back in the emergency.
The following is copy of the Marshals
notice to able bodied government
officials, stuck up in prominent places
throughout the city Tuesday forenoon
Every able-bodied male employee o.
; the Hawaiian Government within the
city, without exception, is ordered forth
with to report for duty to the Marshal O
the Kingdom.
This notice was signed by John H
, Soper, Marshal, and countersigned by
the three Cabinet Ministers then presen
in the city.
Ladies were serving hot coffee during
: the day to the sharpshooters and othe
S volunteers engaged in the suppression 0
y the riot
n The Kings barracks were in charge o
d Household troops all day.
In concluding this heightened report
: we may add that the riot described, al
though long premeditated and planned
e was one of the most silly and hopeless
s attempts to overturn the Hawaiian Gov
d eminent that could be imagined
Il Nothing but gross ignorance of the situs
n ton could have prompted any such al
It tempt; and, had the rioters been whit
It men, a lunatic asylum or hempe
v cravat would have been the most sui
# able punishment that could have bee
II melted out to them ALL
Casualties of Tuesday's Riot.
