SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IS. - The
steamer Alameda arrived from Auck-
land and Sydney via Honolulu this aft
ernoon and brings news of revolution
and boodshed at Honolulu.
Charles L. Carter. who was one of the
annexation commissioners, was killed
and other government supporters were
wounded. There has been much fight
ing and at least twelve natives have
been killed. Nearly two hundred revo-
lutionists are under arrest. Robert
Wilcox is the leader of the rebels. Tine
fighting was still in progress when the
Alameda left Honolulu Jan. II, but the
government forces had practically over
come the reyolutiousts. The Asso-
ciated Press has the following CORE
| spOndence:
Honolulu, Jan. II. There were no
fresh developments in the threatened
uprising until last Sunday afternoon.
| the 9th instant, when the marshaPs
| detectives brought in news for that
| officer to Immediately summon the
cabinet and leading officers of the
military and citizens guard for con-
| sultation. In few minutes after their
arrival Deputy Marshal Brown and q
squad of police under Capt Parker LETT
| for the beach at Waikiki with orders to
Search the Premises
of Henry Berlemann, prominent
royaIist, for arms and ammunition. Just
previous to reaching the place the posse
was joined by Charles l.. Carter, Alfred
Carter and J B. Castle, who lived near
| by, all members Of the citizens guard.
On approaching the house the deputy
marshal left the squad on the lawn
while he entered the house, ana finding
| Berlemann and strange white man
there. nroceeded to read his warrant
| When half way through, shots were
| heard from the rear of the house. The
officer asked quickly:
"What does that mean"' Berlemann
replied:
Il know nothing about it; there are
no arms here"
Brown rushed out to join his squad
| Just as Charles Carter shouted: "Tnere
they are under the boat she'd" pointing
| TO shed in the rear OF the lot, and
rushing forward, followed by his cousin
| Castle and the others.
At that instant voliey was fired by a
| crowd OF natives under the shed, and
| Charles Carter and Lieut.. HOlie fell
| wounded.
The Police Charged
and drove the natives on the beach.
| when the latter retreaIed to the brush,
keeping up desultory firing. AS the
| police only numbered eight, and there
| were three or four times as many natives,
| they returned to the house, taking with
| them three of the rebels whom they had
| captured in the melee, during which
| some sixty shots were fired. Caring for
| the wounded men as we'll as possible
| they searched the prisoners, placing
Berlemann under arrest. The first one
was recognized as John Lane. He had
| a heavy revolver, belt of cartridges
and rifle: the second pocket pistol
and belt of cartridges. The other was
unarmed. but short rifle was found
| behind the door. which evidently be-
| longed to him, as Holie says lie was the
! man who Shot him. There is no doubt
| that Carter's three wounds came from
| Lanes pistol, it having three empty
| chambers.
By this time the rebels had regained
their courage. and surrounding the
| house fired into it repeatedly. Leaving
| one man to guard the prisoners, the
officers returned the fire, but without
effect, as their assailantS could not be
seen. Realizing that
Their Case Was Desperate,
and that word must be got to town at
all hazards, it was resolved that Brown
and Parker should make a dash for
their horses, which were tied near the
house. This was done with success,
and they we're soon at the nearest tele-
phone.
Alfred Carter. who had been missing
since the wounding of his cousin, was
supposed to be dead. but in reality had
escaped with the same idea and for
the purpose of getting doctor
for his cousin. He had already
telephoned to the marshaPs office be
sides being fortunate in finding a doc
tor, with whom lie returned to the scene
of the fight at once. In approaching
the gate they were met with a volley.
Dropping to the ground, Carter returned
three shots; but, realizing the impossi-
biity of getting into the house unhurt,
they both made their escape. About
this time the natives were advancing on
the house to take it by storm when one
of the officers told Berlemann he would
blow his brains out the instant the first
man went inside the house and hurt any
one. Berlemann called to the ma
tives outside to that effect, and
they at once withdrew and ceased
firing Within two minutes after re-
ceiving the telephone account of the
fight detail of thirty-two men from
the regulars stationed at the govern
ment building was ordered out. The

the leper outlaw Koulo some months
since. Volunteers were called for, and
nearly every man in the barracks
stepped to the front. Within ten min

as horses and wheels could carry it, the
distance being four miles. As soon as
the detail came within shooting dis
