Two rebels killed and no casualties
among the Government forces, was
the mortuary record of yesterdays
battle.
The one great object Of the rebel
forces is to escape. ALI thoughts of
lighting, except to defend themselves
from attacking parties, is the general
disposition displayed by the natives.
They are using every effort to get
through the passes to Kalihi where
they can scatter and be out of reach
of the Government troops.
Wilcox and his men were the ones
dealt with yesterday in the Manoa
Valley. Nowlein has disappeared for
the time being and the natives under
Wilcox say that they have not seen
him since Sunday.
Wednesday morning dawned on q
tired, leg-weary band of soldiers.
There had been little sleep, owing to
the call to duty in the night just as
they had settled down for a good
rest. Company "B," on Punchbowl,
had a cold weary night Of it, as
did the men of the other COM
panies in that section, but every
man was ready for such action as the
day might call for. The Sharpshoot-
ers, weary of doing guard duty, asked
to be sent to the front, and, under
Captain Kidwell, were sent to the
scene of action at Manoa Valley to act
To- MI Nnr0TonU
Captain Smith. Captain Murray and
his band of Citizens Guards were
sent to the Waimanalo pass to en-
counter Nowlein's men, If possible.
Not q trace of fighting rebel could
be found in that direction.
After the cessation Of hostilities In
the Manoa valley shortly after sunset,
the Sharpsho0te returned to town,
and Captain Zeigler's company was
valley. Lieutenants King and Coyne
were sent to occupy positions in Pauoa
Valley, Lieutenant King holding the
advanced position. AS evening ap-
preached, Lieut.. Coyne was ordered
to go up the valley beyond Lieut..
King and occupy the junction of
of the roads by which the rebels
could reach Nuuanu Valley or the
Pal.
lii the city the continued arrest
kept things lively. Those added TO
the lists were w. II. Daniels, Paoo,
J. II. Schnack, Sam Kaluahine, Niolo,
II. Peterson, w. K. Hutchinson, j.
Brown, Fred Harrison, II. Kaaha.
George Makalena, Kuakaula, J. K.
Kaunamano, Manuel Refs, Lewis J.
Levey, Antoine da Rega, q young Por-
tuguese boy who was charged with dis
tributing arms, and J. .Radin. Mr.. Levy
made strong objections to being put in
durance vile, all to no effect. Mr..
Harrison, hearing of his possible ar
rest, told the officials that he would
be on hand when they desired his ser
vices. The arrests among the hack
men gave the general fraternity an
one was heard asking as to the
fare of the prisoners that he might
know what to take with him II he
were called to go.
Laura Lane, q sister of Lot Lane,
was stopped while driving toward the
Manoa Valley and taken to the sta
ton. She had long rope and guam
tity of poi which she said she was
taking TO the house of q friend. Mr..
J. CoIburn's boy was also stopped
while going in the same direction.
He carried a note which read, "Why
don't you come to town to see us?"
The guards, fearful of the possible
purport of the note, turned the boy
back to town. 1t was generally
thought that friends of Wilcox were
endeavoring to reach him To give in
formation of the situation in town.
The Cabinet held n meeting in the
| morning at which it was reported that
| q decision was reached to detsin the
Alameda until the rebellion had been
completely squelched. Minister King
denied this rumor.
The biggest scare of the day, and in
| fact OF the whole rebellion thus far,
| was caused by the report OF the adj
vance Of q party of natives over the
| King street bridge. It furnished q
good practice drill for the guards at
| the Police Station.
