CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
Last night WAS selected. The consta-
BILE did not anticipate any trouble at
Police Headquarters. They had not the
slightest idea that the police would re-
fuse to lock the gamblers up. When the
constables reached the place shortly after
eleven o'clock, several negroes We're
playing craps, and the faro game was
well patroniZed,
Dilloway placed the two runners of the
games under arrest and pocketed all the
money, and the constables marched of
with their prisoners TO Police Heaquar-
ters. On the way to the police station
the gambler told the constables that
that they were all right and that Chris
ty" Smith was their friend.
That Superintendent Smith had more
than passing interest in the gamblers
was evident when Police Headquarters
was reached. Superintendent Smith
happened to be present and Immediately
scored the constables for making the ar
rest.
''CHRIsTY" SMITH ANGRY.
He refused TO hold the prisoners on the
ground that the constables mad neither
warrant or evidence to present. The con-
stables then went next door to Justice
Martinez's Office with their prisoners
The Justice opened Court and on the
complaint of the cOnstables committed
the prisoners for further examination.
This is nice deal we are getting"
Williams was heard to say '.as ne was
led back to cell. We were told tnat
everything was all right and here we are
locked in a CELL"
Later they secured bail.
Dilloway says he took S73. so of the gam
blers money. the gamplers say ne took
$l08. The prisoners will be arraigned
before Justice Martinez Lhis afternoon.

Copyrighted, 1898, by the Associated Press.
AUCKLAND, y. T.. Dec. a.-The steamer
Monowsi has arrived here. She loft Hon
olulu on Nov. -. All was quiet there. The
news that President Cleveland intended
to restore the queen caused great excite
ment. IL was discussed by excited knots
OF people on the streets and was generally
condemned. A rumor WAS published in the
Honolulu papers that the queen was not
willing to accept restoration unless assured
Of tho armed support OF the United States.
The Hawaiian =stte of Nov. "a. says:
I'm the meantime monarchy is not re-
stored and will not be unless by the armed
forces of tho United States, whose forces
must then continue To support tho cx-
queen. There may he small differences
In the ranks of the party of reform, but wo
are to-day more united and determined
on the main issue than ever before. Let
every reformer put aside all other and
minor things. As surely as there Is an
eternal justice overruling the affairs of
men, SO surely will the gross outrage pro-
posed TO be done to Hawaii fail of its pur-
pose"

LONDON. Dec. ?.-Ncither tho foreign
Office nor the Hawaiian representative has
any ndvices concerning Hawaii and Auck-
land. Tho associated press showed AM

land. After reading il, he said: "Presi-
pent Cleveland will deal with the weak
Hawaiians In n most magnauimous man
ner, and will not force on them q govern
ment which they had not full chance to
discuss"
Regarding tho dispatches published
here to-day. indicating that Cleveland had
sent instructions to Hawaii, reversing his
policy there, Bayard said: There can be
no reversal of policy based simply on
justice and magnanimity. Clevclaud's
policy is one of fnon-interfcrcncc. lie had
no intention of entering the islands and
dcposing the government. Tho policy of
tho United States toward Hawaii Is not n
selfish one; on the contrary, Cleveland's
intention is that no advantage shall be
taken of the weakness of the queens
party, aud tina, the queen shall have n
full and fair chance TO got on her feet. III
possible. Tho Hawaiian native autonomy
has beon so weakened by late events that
hardly know whether the Hawaiians can
