OF ROyaiists in HON.
OIuIu.

w A0IllNd1OIN, JAN. Z0.-1n Ine
last Hawaiian mail which reached
the state department there were but
two dispatches from Minister Willis,
dated Jan. and II. One speaks of
further immigration of Japanese
coolie laborers, and then adds de-
tails to the facts contained in the
minister's telegram received from
San Francisco last Monday. The
first of the dispatches is as follows:
Honolulu, Jan. 5, 1S95.-Sir The
preliminary eXamina ton in the con-
spiracy cases was concluded Dec. "a,
MesSrs. Bush, NaWahi and Crick,
the last-named an Englishman, were
committed to await trial in F'ebru-
airy. Messrs. Weed and Tinker were
discharged. There have been many
rumors of instruction, some of
which appear to have been we'll
founded. Several persons were ar
rested yesterday and others are I'M
der surveillance. The community as
a whole has not been disturbed by
these events, and business does not
seem to have been interrupted.
1.-The English war vessel Hyacinth
left port d week ago, and there is
no national ship here at present
The departure of the Hyacinth had
been postponed from time 10 time
upon petitions of English citizens.
New immigration companies have
been formed in Japan, one of which
has just recruited 500 laborers, who
arrived yesterday on the steamer
Bentalia. Large shipments of Jap
anese goods continue, averaging re-
Gently LOCO tons per steamer.
In the second letter, dated Jan. II,
Mr.. Willis, after repeating the tele-
gram he had sent describing the at
tempted revolution, continues as fol-
lows:
LAS reported to you in my num-
Der 70 of Jan. 5, there have been for
several weeks rumors of revolt. On
the 9th inst. the first actual encoun-
ter took place.
"a squad of government police
(HaWaiian), accompanied by Deputy
Marshal Brown, Hon. C. l.. Carter
and several others, undertook a
search for arms on the premises of
a half-White named Bertelmann,
who resides on Waikiki beach,
about five miles from the center of
this city. The searching party was
fired on by royalists secreted in a
boat house near by, resulting in the
wounding of several policemen and
the death of Hon. Charles. L. Car
ter.
''After more firing the royalists
retreated to the crater of an extinct
volcano, Diamond Head, from
which they were the following day
dislodged by the government
forces. They are reported to be sur
rounded in the adjacent mountains
without supplies and reduced to
thirty men.
"On the morning of the eth inst.
martial law was declared, since
which probably sixty citizens have
been arrested. Among them are
three ex-attOrney generals and other
prominent persons, representing va
rious nationalities. Many Of these
arrests have been, as the govern
ment officers state, precautionary.
| have the assurance of the attorney
general that the cases of the United
States citizens under arrest will be
promptly investigated and justly
dealt with.
I'm the telegram have quoted the
remark of President Dole that he
was gratified at the absence from
port at this time of any national
ship. It gave his government, he
said, an opportunity to prove it's
ability to take care Of itself, which
if once done would most probably |
insure permanent peace. Similar !
views, as L have heretofore reported, |
We're expressed by Minister Hatch |
when the Philadelphia was about to
depart.
"The number of royaIists under |
arms was not probably half as large |
as first reported; of foreigners
(white) there are not half a dozen.
1.-THE feeling indicated by the news
paper slips enclosed is for extreme
measures against all involved, but
Tins far NOTHING has bapO done "
