 San Francisco, Jan. 1S.-The core
 spondent of the United Press at Hono-
 lulu in a letter dated January 10 says:
 On the 9th I reported what seemed an
 attempt on the Sd to arm natives at
 Kakako. One attempt to land rifles
 from the steamer Waimaulo was frus-
 trated by the police, but a second at
 tempt was successful. On the evening
 of Sunday, the 9th, 600 rifles were land
 ed between Wailae and Diamond Head,
 nearly six miles from town. Five hun
 dred natives collected there received
 guns and ammunition. The Waimaulo
 brought the rifles from beyond Wailae,
 where they had been landed from the
 schooner Norma from Victoria, if our
 information is correct.
 | The natives were under command Of Bob Wilcox and Sam Cowlein They
 captured during the day and detained eight or ten white persons found stroll | ing beyond Diamond Head. The wires | to the telephone on the Head were cut
 so no information could reach the city. l The headquarters were at Anton Rosa s | house, near Wailae. It was the inten- | ton to rush in early in the evening and
 surprise the city while the people were
 at church. The authorities received in- | formation towards night that arms
 were being landed at Diamond Head at
 the house of George Bertellmann, half | rI,s let A GnnAd mounted police was immediately sent
 to search Bertellmann's house The citizens guard was on the alert ana the volunteers were summoned.

 Brown proceeded to read warrant.
 While he was reading it the police were fired upon from the beach. The rebels were there in force on their way to sur prise the city At that moment there arrived from their houses some dis
 tance toward town three prominent
 young men, J. B. Castle, Collector Gen eral Charles l.. Carter and his law part
 ner, Alfred Carter.
 CI,. Carter observed that the firing came from a canoe shed and with the police made a rush on the shed John Lane, haIf-white, fired on him with pistol. Carter received three shots, one of which entered his ribs. He fell ex- claiming that he was hard hit. At the same moment Bertelfmann fired with a carbine from the veranda and shot and dangerously wounded Lieu tenant Holi of the police The enemy were driven from the shed, but ran to the bush. From there they kept up a hot fire upon the house, to which the wounded man had been carried with Lane and two others. Alfred Carter went for doctor and Parker made an effort to drive away the enemy. but found the fire overpowering. The police ran te their horses and rushed off to telephone for troops Brown got to Nolter, mile away, and called for help. Captain Parker was driven into the bush with one man and did not reach town until daylight. Mean time Alfred Carter returned to Der tellmann's with Dr. Wolter's, but was unable to pass the enemy. Castle and one policeman cared for the wounded, nRlQ the DIlSOHeIS anu COlllpCll6d lDCl tellmann's firing to cease.
 Getting Browns message the gov ernment hurried out thirty soldiers in omnibuses under Lieutenant King. The whole force of volunteers was called out and stationed at important points The citizens guard was put on in squads in the street corners, and before o'clock the city was in state of defence King and his men were on the ground by 9 o'clock. The enemy retired before them. keeping up galling fire. A. Garter and Dr. Wolters entered the house, crawling on hands and knees.
 They found c. L. Carter in great agony. Afterward he was removed to his own house Holi was sent to the hospital and Bertellmann and the two natives were sent to the station house. The enemy had retreated up the heights which overlooked the house and this made the house untenable. King re- tired half a mile to the Sans Souci hotel and reported the situation. A small force was sent the same night out on the Waialae road, two miles inland. The enemy was found also on that road. Early in the morning Lieu tenant Coyne was sent out with twenty five more men. He and King formed a line from the beach, at Sans Souci to near the west slope of the head.

One shell burst 1 in the group on the highest peak and | killed several men.
 The number of rebels on the crater | was estimated at over one hundred.
