THE STARS forecast of last even
ing is sustained by the facts of to-
day. The insurgents are beaten
and scattered. 1t is extremely
doubtful if TREY will again make an
attack that will amount to anything.
The troops of the Republic will
make every effort to find and engage
them.
The men who were under Wilcox
and-Nowlein are, like the leaders,
seeking safety in fight. About
every rumor brought in up to four
o'clock afternoon has been followed.
There does not seem to be any body
of rebels ON the island. Many ka-
nakas, suspected of having been in
the hostile camp, have quietly re-
turned to their usual homes in and
about the city.
The present plan of campaign is
to hunt down revolutionists by
detail. For this purpose Marshal
Hitchcock and the military have
many small parties in the field. 1t
is believed that perhaps a hundred
insurgents are in hiding in the
mountains Immediately back of
town. TO root them out will be
very difficult.
There has been no sight yet of
either Wilc X or Nowlein. One
fear is that they have escaped to
Molokai. These two men must
now know that martial law has
been declared, and it is certain that
they will make desperate resistance
if overtaken. The chances are
against their trying to leave the
Islands altogether.
For several hours last night the
authorities had about the liveliest
times they have yet experienced.
First there came in report that
a party of twenty hostiles were in
Nuuanu valley. These stragglers
were said to be disguised
in holokus, and the clothing of
Cinnamon. For about two hours,
combinations of these accounts
were received frequently. At last
there came the announcement that
it was all a hoax. The only ex-
PLANTATION was that an old native
had told the story, and that he had
probably, lied about it.
On account of these false reports
Captain Smiths Company A, had
been moved in from Moiliili to the
corner of Pensacola street, and
Wilder avenue. Captain Wilder's
Company had been sent into Manoa
valley.
About 9 o'clock, Dunn, secret
service man, came in, and made
statements that somewhat alarmed
and startled everybody. He claim
ed to have been in the camp of
Wilcox, and told a very circum-
stantial story. 1t was interesting
and plausible, but lacked the merit
of being borne out by happenings
that were anticipated in it. Dunn's
report caused more activity at the
bungalow and the Police station
than anything that has occurred
heretofore.
The story brought in by the spy
was that Wilcox, Nowlein and a
Canadian named Evans were about
to make concerted assault upon
the town from Punchbowl Hill.
They were supposed to have sew
eral pieces of artillery, hundreds Of
dynamite bombs, and columns Of
several companies each.
At military headquarters, two
companies were moved in shor1
order. Captain Wilder with d,
was sent into Makiki Valley, and
Captain Wall with B, was sent uI
the regular Punchbowl road. Will
der was to move up the right side
of Punchbowl to set off some signal:
that Dunn had said Wilcox would
use to communicate with Nowleir
and Evans. One of the Austrian
field pieces was sent from the bar
racks to support the infantry. Ar
engagements were made to sent
schrapnel and shells from the vici
nifty of the Executive Building int
an enemy on Punchbowl If one ap
peared, Marshal Hitchcock distri
buted mounted police and Citizeni
Guard to support the military, and
to cut off the enemy.
Punchbowl hill was occupied il
