twenty-iour hours of new and
bloody Hawaiian history. On Sum
day afternoon authorities received
positive information that arms were
received, distributed to hostile ma
tives, and that war upon the Gov
ernment was to be inaugurated.
Guns and ammunition were to be
dealt out at the Waikiki place Of
George Bertelmann, the contractor.
He is a prominent halfwhite. The
report was that fifty fine new sport
ing rifles and plenty of ammunition
had been brought to his place from
the schooner that has been so often
sighted lately.
Marshal Hitchcock sent Deputy
Brown with Captain Parker and a
squad OF native police to Bertel-
mann house with a search warrant
The members of the Citizen S
Guard wereItold to be upon the
alert. There was activity at the
military headquarters. In a very
short time a war footing was estab-
lished. These movements seemed
warranted by the reports made to
the Marshal. One of his agents
had actually seen the arsenal at
Bertelmann's.
Deputy Brown found Bertelmann
and strange haole on the lanai.
The officer told his mission and
asked if Bertelman wished to hear
the warrant read. An affirmative
answer was given. The officer and
Bertelman walked into the parlor,
and the strange haole was seen no
more.
Parker had lined up his squad
on the lawn towards the beach.
About half of the warrant had been
read, when sharp firing began out
side. Brown asked Bertelmann
what this meant, and the rebel re-
sponded that he did not know.
J. B. Castle, Charles L. Carter
and Alfred Carter, all of whom live
in that vicinity, are members OF
the Citizens Guard and were on
their arms, They seemed to appear
very soon after the first shot was
fired. They managed to get into
the house by approaching OH all
unguarded avenue. They went
from the house with Brown to the
support of Parker and his men.
In ain instant, genuine engage
ment at short range was i'll pro
gress. Charles Carter had seen a
woman leave the house and go tc
the canoe shed near the waters
edge. With the exclamation tina,
"they were in there" he led a rush
on the low structure, and was fol
lowed by Alfred Carter and J. B
Castle.
A volley came from the canoe
shed. Charles Carter dropped tC
the ground and shouted that he wa.
wounded, but that it did not amour
to anything. In second more ht
exclaimed that he was hard hit, anc
began to groan with pain.
Some of the police about this tim'
came to the support of the two
Carriers and Castle. The enemy
was driven from the canoe shed
and the scene Of the engagement
was changed to the beach, Her,
enough shots were exchanged t.
make the total probably sixty. Tin
enemy now retreated to the under
brush but kept up hot fire.
In the scrimmage the police hal
captured John Lane of Koolau,
young native, and the South Sc
Islander who wears his hair yer,
long, and says he will not have
cut until the Queen is restored
Alfred Carter and ]. B. Castl
helped Charles Carter into Bertel
mans house. The police brough
the three prisoners into the parlol
Alfred Garter left almost at once fo
Sans Souci TO call DR.. Walters.
Bertelmann appealed to the poss
to stop the disturbance on accour
of his wife. Mr.. Castle said t
them your wife is all right. w
do not make war upon women"
John Lane had upon him heav
revolver with a belt of cartridg
and carried rifle, and had plent
of cartridges for it. The youn
kauaka hal a pocket pistol and
belt Of cartridges. Another riff
belonging to the rebel, was pickle
up on the beach.
