Missionary - with the schooner. A let- ter from Seward to the captain having been read be delivered to Townsend two cases, containing eighty revolvers with ammuni- ton. These were landed on the islet, placed in sacks and buried in the sand. couple of days later they were unearthed and secreted at an early hour on the main land. On the night of January the pis- tols were taken to Honolulu. Townsend had left one man, Charles Warren, on the schooner, which stood off to the northeast to wait for the steamer Waimaneto, to take her cargo of rifles. The Waimaneto left Honolulu December 28, called at Msnana islet, and then steered northeast to find the schooner. She found her on New Years Day, and received from her 26S Winchester rifles with large quantity of ammunition. She again cshed at ManaIa islet and sent word to the town that the arms were on board, stood out to sea for one day and on the 2d ran into Brettlemann's.
 whale boat cams off with Rickard, who told them the plan must be changed about landing half the arms at the fish market, as the dredger was in the way. All must go to Kakaako, on the other side of tue harbor. They stood out again off shore, and spent another day with Rickard on board. That day they finished their coal aud had to burn deck sheathing. Standing in again the evening of the third, Robert Wilcox came off from Brettlemaun's with two whale boats and told them the police had broken up the gathering at Kakaako. The rifles were then loaded into the boats and one- half hidden in the bushes at some distance from the former place.
 The first witness was John A. Cummings, sKalakaua's last premier. He betrayed great agitation and appeared to tell all he knew, thoroughly confirming the testi- mony of his men as to the chief agency of Seward in landing the arms. He laid all the blame Of his own compIicty upon Sew ard, who lived upon him and was his evil mentor. When Seward returned from the coast, December 8, he told Cummings that he had shipped arms by tug boat to be transferred to schooner which had gone to sea.
 great sensation was caused by Cum mings stating that upon his in- quiring where Seward got the latter told him that the queen had given him a letter to Rudolph Spreckels i.who would furnish the necessary funds. Cum mings remarked that Rudolph had been here and only just returned home. Seward replied that MT. Follis did the business for Spreckels. When Cummings com plained to Seward that he was leading him into deep trouble for himself and his fam fly the latter replied that he himself alone would bear the consequences.
 Cummings' son-in-law, T. B. Walker, one of the four men on trial, next testified to having gone with Breitlemann to get shells cast by White and Rittou, pretend ing they were fence ornaments. Nowle1n furnished sticks of dynamite and Walker filled the shells, adding birdshot. He had made cement bombs in 1893 to protect the queen's residence. He was assigned by Nowlein to capture the station house, and George Markham to help him. Henry Brettlemann testified to Backman Radin bringing packages from c. T. Gaick to Rickard at Bretllemann's house. Rickard went aboard the steamer the next night and sent an order to land the arms at Waialae. Radin confirmed his carrying letters between Galick and Rickard.
 Samuel Nowlein's testimony came next and made the greatest sensation of any be- fore the tribunal, being very damaging to Galick and Seward. Nowein, Richard, Galick and Seward had been holding meet ings at Galick's house since September, times week. The plan adopted was to occupy stations throughout the heart of the city and capture the police stations, telephone offices and electric light station, so as to prevent the citizen guards from rallying. Seward purchased and shipped the arms from the coast. Nowlein sent out agents to enlist men and orgauize them into squads, with captains reporting to himself. He also helped arrange about landing arms. Richard also assisted gen. eraliy.
 Nomleiu was chief in command in the field. Galick was the statesman of the quartette. With their help he drafted a new constitution, proclamations of the re- stored monarchy and of martial law and other forms of commission for cabinet aud other officers.
 The queen 's private secretary, W. F. Kaae, who engrossed those papers, testi- fled to having received from Nowleln late iu December copy of constitution to engross. It was in Gslick's handwriting. Also proclamation and notice of martial law; also commissions for members of the cabinet and for other officers. He went back to Galick to get the form changed for the commissions. All these papers Wit ness copied out and gave to the queen, who signed the appointments in his presence. The members of the cabinet were: k. w. Wilcox, minister of foreign affairs; Samuel Nowlein, minister of the interiors; c. T. Galick, minister of finance; c. w. Ash- ford, attorney general; governors, A. 5. Cleghorn, island of Oahu; Joseph Nahawi, island of Hawaii; D. Kawananskoa, island of Maui ;marshal, w. H. Richard associate justices, Antone Rosa and V. V. Ashford.
 On the afternoon of the 22d third trial was commenced of twelve native and half white prisoners captured from the field. Among them were Lot Lane, Bipikane, Thomas Poole, who had boasted of shoot ing Carter, and Kaauha, former student at Hampton, teaching tailoring at Kame- evening and the following morning. A point of interest developed was the forsak- ing by many natives of the gathering at Waialadi, but no white men had come out LO lcau tueius 1uo IeducI Ioipihdhe, U. Bull, was not seen fighting. He was only seen running away. This noisy ex-leaisla- tor himself testified recklessly, swearing that he had not fought against the govern- ment. His dramatic and roaring eloquence caused much amusement in court. Later, on the 22d, the ex-queen, in her chamber Of Imprisonment above the court room, signed Q document of subnission and re- nunciation.
 The United States steamer Philadelphia arrived on the, 29th, nine days from San Francisco.
