The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-01-26

1t seems hardly credible that in a
country so small as this, one section
should be in the throes of war, liter
ally upset through the work Of insur-
gents, while In another district all is
peaceful and work progressing as
usual. There has been almost no con-
sternation here consequent upon af-
fairs in Honolulu, though everyone
feels the keenest interest in knowing
what is going on. Everybody is GER
tainly anxious for tidings Of friends,
and almost impatient to hear how the
trial Is proceeding before the Military
Commission, but there has been no
demonstration Of feelings on either
side.
The announcement, this morning,
that q warrant was out for the arrest
of r. NJ. Wakefield on q charge Of
treason caused q ripple of excitement
in Republican circles. Mr.. Wakefield,
during his residence of eight or nine
months in Hilo, has been most active
in support of the Government, and
during the recent instruction in Ho-
nolulu he has rendered every assist
af1ce possible to those guarding life
and property Of the supporters Of the
Government here in HiIo. His many
friends here seem to be of the opinion
that the charge must be based upon
some misdirected or misguided infor-
nation, as he most emphatically main
tains his innocence of any such charge.
He will be accompanied to Honolulu
by Messrs. G. g. Kennedy, q. X. viii
der, J. A. Scott, ]. r. Wilson and DIR.
R. b. Williams, who will see that he
shall lack no comforts while awaiting
the disposition of his case. Thursday
morning word reached this place that
there is no charge of treason against
Mr.. Wakefield. but that he Is being
called to Honolulu simply for investi-
CATION.
What might have been a less fortu-
nate accident occurred at Pepeekeo
landing last Friday afternoon. AS 1t
Is Captain Fitzgerald of the steamer
Hawaii has an ugly wound on his
head and bruises about his body that
tell the tale Of a ship wrecked crew.
Captain Fitzgerald had been dis
charging freight at Pepeekeo during
the afternoon, and after having dis
charged the last boat load, he and his
purser, Hugh Gum, together with five
sailors, left the landing on their return
to the steamer. They had pulled but |
q short distance out when q heavy sea |
struck their small boat and carried it |
back, dashing 1t and its human freight !
upon the rocks. The boat was smashed |
to pieces, but the most of its occupants |
escaped with but slight injury. Plrser
Gum was unhurt, but Captain Fitz-
gerald received q severe cut on the
back of his head, and numerous bruises
about his body. One of the sailors
was rather badly bruised and had his
nose broken. The tendons in his heel
were strained so that he Is still quite
lame.
The accident was of course viewed
from the steamer, and Immediately a
boat was sent to their aid, which re-
turned to the Hawaii with all hands.
They were not long in steaming to
HilO. Captain Fitzgerald and the in
jured sailor came ashore and went to
DR.. Williams office, where their
wounds were dressed. The captain |
feels quite lame and sore from the |
severe shaking up which he must have
received.
The brig Lurline, Captain Peterson,
was towed into port by the Rover Sat |
urday evening. She brought fu |
cargo OF freight. She reports having !

overheard. She was nineteen DAYS |
