The Murderer Drives Them out.
Arrival Of the waiaIeAIe-word From
sheriff Wilcox-StolE's Last
Letter.

Soon after the arrival or the
steamer Mikahala from Kauai yes
terdsy morning various rumors were
circulated regarding the arrest of the
lepers at kslalsu. Captain F. S.
Chsney of the steamer Mikahala, on
being interviewed, gave the follow
ing account:
LAST Saturday morning, while the
steamer Mikahsls was about to leave
Makaweli hsrbor for Nswiliwili bay.
telephone message was sent over
from Wsimea by Mr.. Hoffgaard stat
ing that two of the lepers from Kai-
alsu were captured on the pass lead
ing to Wsimes by Acting Deputy
Sheriff o. Blsckstad. his son and six
policemen The lepers were said to
be on their way to Waimea to pro
cure provisions for their party. and
were seized by the scouts. The ar
rest probably took place during Fri
day night The report did not state
whether the captured lepers were
armed or not. Probably the arrested
men were not aware that the pass
was guarded or they would have cut
another trail OF their own to Waimea
The steamer Wsialeale arrived at
Hsnslei on Saturday, and after a
brief stay proceeded with the expedi-
ton to Kslslau the same afternoon.
Probably the Waialeale reached Kal
alsu during Saturday evening, as it
was only few hours steaming from
Hsnalei. No definite news, however,
has been received Of the landing Of
troops.
The steamer AIikahsla left Nawili.
viii on Saturday afternoon, and, up
10 her departure, nothing was heard
OF the proclamation declaring martial
law in the districts Of Waimes and
Hsnslel.
Captain CLANCY, from what he had
heard at MAXWELL and Ns8iliBili,
believes that the majority of the
leperz, will surrender except, per
hsps. Koolsu. and his wife. The
other lepers do not wish to fight
against the law ko0lsu, however,
had stated that he would never surren-
der while he lives According to Mr..
Copp, OF Kolos, and several others
who are personally acquainted with |
hoolsu, he Is q daring and cOur-
sge0us man. who holds his life |
lightly.
A correspondent from Kilauea,
dated June 30, writes =" Koolau Is
still at Kslalsu, and be dares death, |
but before he dies, he says he will |
surely kill another deputy sheriff. |
The kamsalnas Of Kalslau are all at |
now, and are being quaran-
tined By the police. Several men,
We hear, are guarding the Waimes
pass, and It Is currently reported that
hoolau has gone up the sierras 20
meet them"
By the Mikshsls which arrived
yesterday the government received a
short letter from Sheriff g. \. vii
COX to Marshal Hitchcock, stating
hat the Wsislssle arrived Saturday
az Hsnalei, en- route TO Ks-
slsu- He states that both the passes
% the valley Of Kslslau are guarded.
Deputy Sheriff Willis had been de-
allied to supervise the guard at the
Nsimea pass, and the Hanalei psss
lad already been placed under the
.hsrge Of Deputy Sheriff Dsyerill.

spOrter. Attorney General Smith

he Wsislesle had sailed with Stolz's
,Ody for Honolulu, the murderer
1OOlsu had issued q proclamation to
he other lepers in the valley order
