DETAILS OF THE TROUBLE.
Honolulu, Jan. 1l.-There was no

9th inst, when the MarshaPs detectives
brought in news that led that officer 10

Just previous to reaching the place the

Guard.
on approaching the house the Deputy
Marshal left the squad on the lawn while
he entered the house, and finding BerteI-
mann and strange White man there
proceeded TO read his warrant. When
about half through shots were heard
from the rear of the house.
The officer said quickly: "What does
that mean?"
Bertelmann replied: IT know nothing
about it. There are no arms here"
Brown rushed out TO join his squad
Just as Charles Carter shouted: There
they are under the boatshed," pointing
to a shed in the rear of the lot, and rushed
forward, followed by his cousin, Castle
and the others. At that instant volley
was fired by a crowd of natives under
tho shed. ana Charles Carter and Lieuten-
ant Holi fell wounded. The police charged
and drove tue natives out on the beach,
whence the latter retreated TO the brush,
keeping up desulJory firing.
AS the police only numbered eight, and
there were three or four times as many
natives, they returned to the house, TAX
ing with them three of the rebels whom
they had captured in the melee, during
which some sixty shots were fired. TAX
ing the wounded men in also, and first
caring for them well as possible, they
searched the prisoners, placing Bertel-
mann also under arrest. The first one
was recognized as John Lane. He had
heavy revolver belt of cartridges and
rifle, the second pocket pistol and belt
of cartridges. The other was unarmed,
but y short rifle was found behind the
door which evidently belonged to him, as
Holi says he was the man who shot him.
There is no doubt that Carter's three
wounds came from Lanes pistol, it hav-
ing three empty chambers.
BY this time the rebels regaIned their
courage and surrounded the house. firing
into 1t repeatedly. Leaving one man to
guard the prisoners the officers returned
the ire, but without effect, as their assail-
ants could not be seen.
Realizing that their case was desperate,
and that word must be got to town at all
hazards, it was resolved that Brown and
Parker should make dash for their
horses, which were tied near the house.
This was done with success, and they
were soon at the nearest telephone.
Alfred Carter, who had been missing
since the wOunding of his cousin, was
supposed to be dead, but in reality had
purpose OF getting doctor for his cousin.
He had already teephoued to the Mar
shaPS office, besides being fortunate in
finding doctor, with whom he returned
TO The scene of the light alone. ON ap-
preaching the gate they were met with a
volley. Dropping to the ground, Carter
returned three shots, but realizing the
impossibility of getting into the house
unhurt they both made their escape
About this time the natives were ad-
vancing on the house to take il by storm.
when one of the officers told Bertelmaun
he wouldfbIow his brains out on the in
stant the first man inside the house was
hurt. Bertelmann called to the natives
outside 10 that effect, and they at once
withdrew and ceased firing.
Within two minutes alter receiving the
telephone account OF the fight detail of
thirty-two men from the regulars sta
toned at the Government building was
ordered out. The command was given
to Lieutant King, the same who led the
expedition against the leper outlaw Koo-
lau some months ago. Volunteers were
called for and nearly every man in the
barracks stepped forward. Within ten
minutes the detail was on the way as fast
as horses and wheels could carry them
the distance being about four miles. AS
soon as they appeared within shooting
distance OF the scene OF action the natives
fired parting volley and fled.
Alfred Carter and DIR. Wolters came ND
at this time, and were quickly fol-
lowed by others. Charles Carter received
ahe medal attention he so much needed
1t was found that he was shot in the
breast twice and once in the leg. One of
the breast wounds ranged downward and
entered the abdomen. He was taken 10
his residence near by, where he died
early the next morning. Hollis wound
was through the breast, but not neces-
sarily fatal. He was sent to the hospital.
Soon after Deputy Marshal Brown ar
xived, and the premises were thoroughly
searched. The Japanese servant denied
that there were arms, but siX-shooter at
his ear induced him TO bring to light sew
eral rifles and pistols. Lieutenant King
sent the prisoners to town, and asked for
further orders. He was told to hold the
place at all odds, as it was evidently a
distributing point for arms. At daylight
q large force of natives who had taken up
a strong position on the slope of Diamond
Head attacked him. After standing fire
about an hour, and finding the natives
had the advantage of numb bers and posi-
tIon, Lieutenant King moved his force TO

dred yards nearer town, with telephone
communication. In short time alter the
telephone was used Lieutenant Coyne and
awenty-hve more of the regulars were
