Wall OF THE HAWAIIAN EXILES,
Charles Creighton Acts as SpOkes,
man and Airs Their Grievances.
He SAYS Most OF Them VIII Return to
the Islands After Martial Law
Is Lifted.

Contrary to general expectation
the majority of the persons who
left the islands recently rather than
stand trial for completely in the
late instruction, have refrained
! from rushing into print and airing
their grievances. In this respect
at least the political exiles show
exceedingly good judgment. The
San Francisco Examiner of March
Sd has the following to say regard
ing some of the parties who arrived
in that city:
The Hawaiian exiles who came
ON the Australia yesterday said
they were very glad to land in a
country where they will not be fol-
! lowed by spies. According to their
story the Government at no time
made any specific charges against
them, and they were deported at
the instigation of their enemies and
on the order of Marshal Hitchcock,
who has unlimited authority under
the reign of martial law.
Most of US intend to return and
make the islands our home after
martial law is lifted" said Charles
Creighton last night. Mr.. Creighton
is one of the exiles, and he says he
was unable to induce the Govern
nent to make any charges against
him.
"We signed a paper" he said,
"Wherein we agreed to leave the
country, but none of US were al
lowed to keep a duplicate of it.
Such an enforced agreement TO
leave the country is not binding,
because it was signed under the
duress of imprisonment. 1t cannot
prevent an American citizen from
returning to Hawaii.
"The principal prisoners are very
sick men. They were not well
when arrested, and their imprison-
ment has made them worse.
Charles Gulick, V. V. Ashford and
Major W. II. Seward in particular
cannot survive the confinement,
food and hard labor, for they are
men of proud spirits and delicate
constitutions"
Most of those who arrived will go
East or to Europe, but Peterson
and Creighton will remain in San
Francisco, at least until the reign
of martial law ends.

ROAD BUILDING IN KAU.

Work for Their Prisoners.
News from the Sugar MilIs-TwO Deaths
From the Fl. A. Co. Road
Accident.

KAU, (Hawaii), March 13.-An-
other Japanese who was injured in
the late accident on the Hawaiian
Agricultural Company road has
died making a total of two. The
other six are fast recovering from
their injuries.
Judge Waipuilani has been con-
fined to his bed for some time and
is now beginning to get around.
Judge Kekani Pa fined five Ha-
waiians and two Chinese 800 each
for stealing one Of the II. A. Co.
cars. As they cannot pay the fine
they will rusticate on the Hilo
road for over six months. General
opinion here is that the prisoners
should be kept in this district at
work on the roads and not send
them to Hilo. If they have no
horses they have to walk all that
distance and there is very little
shelter from the rain between Wal
ohinu and the Volcano.
The Peter Lee road is in a fair
condition from Pahala to the Vol
cano, but cannot be compared with
the Hilo road. It is hoped the
coming Legislature will make an
appropriation to build good sub.
stantial road.
The Helea road is not completed
yet. The work has been waiting
over a month for the surveyor to
come and survey a new piece,
which will complete the road. When
this is finished we can drive from
Waiohinu to Hilo.
Mr.. Aungst is in the district and
has placed a good number of shares
here, and also a good list of sub
scribers for the Kona and Kau Tel
ephone Company.

The thief again ran and dashed into

Williams company and up several
flights Of stairs The thief reached the
fourth floor and then he was cornered
at a window by several of the en-
ployes. Then fight took place. The
fellow was desperate. He knocked
down several men and threw three out
of the window. There was roof of a
lower building just below the window
and the men falling upon this escaped
injury. A policeman arrived at this
point and with blow of his fist laid
the fellow low. The handouts were
quickly snapped into place and the
policemen then hustled their prisoner
to the central station. He gave the
name of Joseph Rawson and said he
was 2S years of age. The second thief
was not captured.
