present situation as have seen i; will
he of mistress 10 the readers Of the Fest
AnfeaGgeHeer. Shortly after my arrival
here few racFzhs ago rasfnors os a prob
able uprising "a the roysllssS cw followers
OF the oii government party were circu-
sSteds bft were Ess generally rSsstsNI.
More reS.trtsy. however. there seemed 20
he no sl9alsss that there was some move
rnent in that direction Ts.ere ssas ais,
general activity IN the government
forces Arrests es TIE supposed leaders
for conspiracy followed. bar no hoss:asisies
were coslrasnceei until Sunday. January {.
About r. III. q report was brought srso
tne city that the royaissss had arms
stored IN the house OF a haif-caste about
three miles our aT the city. A SQUAD of
me mounted poifee with a fewof the cfsi-
xens' ga,ard were sent out with n search
warrant to investigate. While the war
rant was being real 10 the owner OF che
premises the party was fired uro., by a
PARTY CT the royaiis;s lying in ambush in
a shsSi near by. fatally woundiny oae &c
the citizens quart anu also w1aansssng one
OF the police Fighting was carried on for
some time. and reiaforcen-nfs fSor, .hs>
cssy were sent fer. The msll,sa were inn
snetiiateiy called cut, and a detachment
sess to their relief. Monday morning
martial law was proclaimed ana the uils-
tia drove the rebel forces into the rnks,sn-
taiEss IN the rear os the city. On Tuesday
the rebel forces We're Secrefesi in the hills
and brush. and their movements We're not
exactly k1own until Wednesday AFTER
nocnss when they made an attack on the
government fcsoes and were driven hack.
Tsaere has been no lighting 50 far today.
While all danger is not over. from the
outlook II is only n question of a few
days until the re5eis are surrounded hy
the government fcrces. There have been
about seventy-;ive prisoners taken. sew
er'l OF the rebel forcea killed and a few
of the governnent soldiers wounded. 1T
is quite certain now that the whole plan
Of the relsel forces was not carried out.
owing to the arrest of the principal lead
es-s In the city and the rebel forces out
side being unable TO work their way into
the city. Had they reached the city and
been reinforced By the rebel forces In the
town. there might have been warm work.
as 1t is known ahss they have arms asal
dynamite stored somewhere in town.
There Is not n naan~of-war in the harbos
OF Honolulu and President Cleveland a.,sI
the Democratic administration are being
warmly scored by saae American citizens
here for leaving them in the present cir
cumstances without any protection.
Whife We do not apprehend any danger
nov 10 any American citizen. a man-of-
war would be hailed with delight by
many. The rebel forces are nearly all na-
tives OF the islands. although the leaders
are nearly all half-castes and white peo-
pie. many or whom were formerly in tho
government service. The natives of the
islands are quiet and easy-going people,
and few OF them would make any trouble
themselves were they not egged on by
the dissatisfied wfadtes. Many of the ma
tives are strong supporters of the pres
erst government Everything In the city
is quiet. and many Of the business houses
are open, although some have remained
closed during the rebellion. Guards are
stationed at all the principal points in
the city, and no one Is allowed on the
streets after half-piEst without a permit
from the marshal
J. A. RUTTERFIELD.
