The number of insurgents is various

two hundred. With Cor.ae'S force was
sent an eight-centimeter field piece.
President Murray, Of tn" citizens

men was sent out Oh the road leading
to the insurgents They met with no
resistance until they approached Paoli
valley, over the edge of which Il stone
wall extends, beyond which a large
body of insurgents with a small how
itZer was established. The first in
timation Murray's force had of the
enemy was Il shower of bullets which
did no harm. Had the natives waited
little Longer Murray's troops could
have been annihilated. They rc.
treated Il short distance and eStab-

wds the object of the government
| troops to drive the rebels around the
! base of the mountain from which
there was no escape except over the
| famous Paoli road, in which ten or
twelve men could hold their own
against small army. AS soon as
! it was known in Honolulu Sunday af-
ternoon that there was organized re
SiStance to the government, no time
was lost in communicating the facts to
its supporters, both by telephone and
messenger. In response four compall-
les of militia donned uniforms and
repaired to their armorieS: the mem
berS of the citizens guard reported
to their respective rendezvouses and yet
/ SO quickly was everything done that
many in the city We're unaware that
anything had happened out of the
usual Sunday IuietneSs.
Citizens Warned.
But between s and 8 p. H., however,
the appearance of squads of citizens
guards at every street corner told the
tale, People were quickly warned to
go home and stay there. Every M
portant avenue was guarded by squads
numbering from twenty to forty mem
bers, leaving the entire force and mil
! ltary at the disposal of the govern
ment. In the morning the news from
the front decided the government 10
| take immediate and stringent meas
ures for its protection. At $3.50 Il. m,
martial law was proclaimed and all
saloons and liquor stores were closed.
The news of the death of Carter,
who was Il popular young lawyer and
recently elected member of the legis-
lature, intensified the general feeling
and it would have gone hard with the
aSsaSsins had they not beef It op%ly
guarded. After comforting with Cap
| tain Murray at noon Monday, Cap
tain Zeigler and his company of regu-
| lars were dispatched TO his aid, taking
with them ole Australian field piece.
! Then the ten-pound shells from this
gun scattered the natives in every di-
rection, but did not seem to hurt any
of them. At 2 O'Clock the troops ad-

brush. Lieut Ludwig and ten men
were detailed for a flank movement.
AS soon as Ludwig got into position
the natives were beaten and scattered
into the dense brush followed by the
troops.
Macy Wounded.
1t is certain that many were
wounded as blood shreds OF clothing,
etc, are seen everywhere. The only
man wounded from the government
| side is Ludwig, who received a flesh
wound in the thigh. Then the first
prisoners were taken, seven in num-
Der. and from them it was learned the
! leaders of the rebels were Sam Now
| lin. former colonel in the queen 5
household guard and Resort Wilcox
who was leader of the revolution in
1887. The rebels claimed they had
600 rifles, but only 800 men were ar
/ rested.
