The Story in Detail.
Honolulu, Jan. 11.-There were no
fresh developments in the threatened
uprising until last Sunday afternoon,
the 9th inst, when the marshal's detec-
tives brought in news for that officer to
Immediately summon the cabinet and
leading officers Of the military and Citi-
Zens' Guard for consultation. In q few
minutes after their arrival Deputy Mar
shall Brown and squad of police under
Captain Parker left for the beach at
Waikiki with orders to search the prem

royalist, for arms an 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 party
was fired OH by natives concealed in
boathouse and Charles Carter and Lieu
Col Tho ,>c7io0
charged and
Drove the Natives Out on the Beach.
The deputy's party then took refuge in
the house and reinforcements were sent
for. Within two minutes after receiv
ing the telephone account Of the fight q
detail Of 80 men from the regulars sta
toned at the government building was
ordered out. The command was given
to Lieutenant King, the same who led
the expedition against the leper outlaw,
Koulo, some months since. Volunteers
were called for and nearly every man in
the barracks stepped to the front. With
in 10 minutes the detail was on the way
as fast as horses and wheels could carry
them, the distance being four miles. As
soon as they came within shooting dis
lance of the scene of action the natives

and fled. Charles Carter received the
medical attention he so much needed.
He was taken to his residence near by,
where he died early the next morning.
Hollis wound was through the breast,
but not necessarily fatal.
At daylight large force Of natives,
who had taken up a strong position on
the slope Of Diamond hill, attacked
Lieutenant King. After standing fire
about an hour and finding that the ma
tives had the advantage of him in num-
bers and position, Lieutenant King
moved his force to Sans Souci, a pleas
ure resort a few hundred yards nearer
town and with telephone com1nunica-
tions. Shortly afterwards telephone
was used and Lieutenant Coyne and 25
more Of the regulars were sent out. The
number Of insurgents was variously
estimated from 100 to 200. President
Murray of the Citizens Guard with %
road leading to the insurgents.
They Met With No Resistance
until they approached Paoi valley, over
the edge of which stone wall extends,
beyond which large body Of insur-
gents with small howitzer were estab-
lished. The first intimation Murray's
force had of an enemy was shower Of
bullets which did no harm. Had the
natives waited little longer Murray's
troops could have been annihilated.
After comforting with Captain Murray,
at noon on Monday Captain Zeigler and
q company Of regulars were dispatched
to his aid, taking with them an Austrian
field piece. Then 10-pound shells from
this gun scattered the natives in every
direction, but did not seem to hurt any
of them. AT 2 o'clock the troops ad-
vanced and
Forced the Rebels Into the Brush.
Lieutenant Ludwig and Is men were
then detailed for flank movement. AS
soon as Ludwig got into position the
the dense brush followed by the troops.
It is certain that many were wounded,
as bloody shreds Of clothing, etc., were
soon everywhere. The only man
wounded on the government side was
Ludwig, who received flesh wound in
the thigh. When the first prisoners
were taken, seven in number, and from
them it was learned that the leaders of
the rebels were Sam Nowlin, former
colonel Of the queens household guard,
and Robert Wilcox, who was the leader
1 of the revolution in 1887. The prisoners
Z claim they had 600 rifles but only 500
: men were armed. At O'Clock the gov
eminent forces
Csmped For the Night,
pursuit being impossible in the dense
brush. While this was going on the tug
Eleu, with field piece and detail of
sharpshooters, left Honolulu and in half
an hour was in a position to shell from
the rear the natives who threatened

well fired shots scattered them like
sheep, one shot falling directly into the
natives c.lnp. 1t is known that five
