searched. and none allowed to leave for
the other islands.
From the confessions of some of the
prisoners the entire crew Of the steamer
Waimanalo was arrested. When the
Marshal put them through his inquisitory
process the mate confessed. Seeing the
Jig was up Captain Davis gave the whole
thing away. The Government claims TO
know everything concerning the trans
action, who furnished the arms, ordered
them and paid for them.
1t is understood that prominent female
capitalist put up $50, 900 and another indi-
yidual 5000 that Major Sewall, who went
with the late Royahst commission to Wash
ington but stayed behind on plea of sick
ness, bought and shipped them. They
were brought to this country from British
Columbia on the schooner Norma, and
landed near Waianae. From there they
were brought to Diamond Head by Captain
Davis in the Waimanalo and landed in
whaleboats. 1t was the intention to land
the bulk of them at kakaako, but this was
prevented by the timely action of the Gov
eminent. Arms are thought to be in the
houses of white Royalists in Honolulu,
moment. The original design of the Dia-
mond Head rebels was doubtless to assem-
bile at Kakaako, arm themselves and rush
from there upon the Executive building.
British Commissioner HAYES called
upon the Attorney General to-day, but did
not ask for the release of any of the pris-
onefs Nearly all the white royalists ar
rested are of British birth
At the water front everything is tied up,
waiting for orders from the Government to
resume business. Vessels are two deep
along the wharves, and shipping is anx-
ious for the trouble to cease that they may
get down to their regular routine. At the
Cabinet meeting yesterday morning it was
decided to hold all boats in port for another
twenty-four hours at least. Nothing was
said about the through steamer except that
every precaution would be taken to pre-
vent rebels escaping on her It is desired
to have the news go to the States by the
Alameda that Wilcox has been captured.
1t seems to be generally understood that
if Nowlein or Wilcox are captured they will
be shot within twenty -four hours after
ward on the public square.
Both banks and many of the business
houses were open to-day, and matters in
the city are fast resuming their normal APP
pearance.
John Thomas Warehouse. the oldest
and wealthiest merchant in these islands
was buried this afternoon. He was inn
mensely wealthy, being largely interested
in real estate in Cedar Rapids and other
places in the United States
AT no time since the revolution broke out
have the rebels been nearer than four miles
to Honolulu.
The steamship Alameda arrived at
A. M, and most stringent measures were al
once adopted TO prevent the escape of any
royalists to San Francisco. Even reporters
were not allowed on board, although every
courtesy outside of that was extended.
There is positively nothing new from the
seat of war with the exception that let
ter from Wilcox to the woman with whom
he was living i'll Honolulu was intercepted,
from which it was learned that the Govern
nent troops have got him correctly To-
Gated. Some information as to his future
movements was also gained from this
source.
Last night has been the quietest since
the outbreak, and were it not for the pres
ence of armed men on the streets the city
would wear its usual aspect
The Alameda was booked to leave at 3
P. NJ. but was held until O'clock 1t is
known that the Government is more than
DESTROYS to send the news of Wilcoxs cap
