James Kauhane and Kaouli, two
native detectives, were severely
stabbed last evening while iii the
performance of their duty. Their
assailant, the cook of the bark S. &.
Allen, was arrested and charged with
assault with IA deadly weapon.
The cook, whose name could not be
ascertained, is a Spaniard. He had
made offers to sell some opium to the |
Chinese steward OF the Waialeale, |
and the latter informed Kaouli OF the 1
matter Last evening, when he came |
off the vessel, which was lying at the |
Fish Market wharf, he was followed
by Kaouli and the informer. At the
corner of Maunakea and King streets,
Kaouli attempted to arrest the man,
and the informer ran away. The Span
| lard drew a long knife and made VII
cious lunge at Kaouli. When the latter
| saw it, he thought 1t was pistol, and
| called to Kauhane, who came run
| ming to the scene. Kauhane caught
the Spaniard from behind, and held
him, but he kept slashing at both
| officers, and inflicted some terrible
wounds on them. Kauhane at last
oyerpowered him knocked him down,
and held him while Kaouli tele-
phoned for more help. When the
| officers arrived, Kauhane was almost
unconscious from loss of blood, but he
! was still holding on to his man,
| whom he had beaten around the head
until he, too, was nearly insensible.
The murderous Spaniard was taken
to the Police Station, there he was
found to have ragged wound over
his left eye and two scalp wounds.
He was bleeding profusely and SEEM
ed to be unconscious. One OF the de-
tectives came in, and recognized the
man as the cook of the S. c. Allen,
and said so. The Spaniard, as soon
as he heard that he was known, sat
up and said that he did not like the
treatment that he was receiving.
DIR. Cooper, the police surgeon, was
| at once sent for, and dressed the mans
wounds. He said that, although the
cook had been severely beaten, he
was not dangerously wounded, and
would probably be all right in few
days. He also said that the man
seemed to him to be under the infiu-
ence of liquor, but that his stupefied
appearance might be due to the severe
knocks he had received.
Kauhane and Kaouli were at once
. taken to Queens Hospital, where
their wounds were dressed. They
, were found to be horribly cut, Kao-
} uIi in particular being gashed in q
manner that was simply awful.
He had received longitudinal
cut in the lower part of the
the left thigh d inches in length
and inches deep. The flesh had
separated, and the muscles of the un-
fortunate mans leg were protruding,
: He was also gashed on the left arm
; halfway between the elbow and
the shoulder, with cut p inches long
. and about an inch deep. This latter
cut extended through the triceps.
Kauhane had received a transverse
I cut on his right leg inches long ano

Y muscle; he also received another GU
J. lust above the left knee 8 inches long
: and half inch deep. Besides thes'
cuts, both men received great man,
minor gashes, their hands beins
:, crossed and re-crossed with the keer
blade. It will be at least II month
before the men will be able to be out
/. Later in the evening, the man gave
h his name to the police as Joseph Cas-
: sres, a Spaniard. A man who know
!. him, however, said that his nam
/ was Joseph Cassidro, and that he wa
= a Chilean. He is known to the po
lice here as smuggler. Severa
s years ago, he was arrested on the shil
Ferris S. Thompson, for smugglin:
- liuuor. Cassidro wrapped himself II
: the American flag and defied arrest
but he was arrested, nevertheless.
Y The knife that the man used is
terrible weapon in the hands of mas
