town is to be protected from the

All scouting parties and com

OF course under martial law
the President is the absolute
commander of everything. The plan
outlined above has been adopted
simply to avoid confusion and fscil-
itate operations. The various val

by troops and no one will be allow
ed to either come or go. This is a
mandatory order.
The Cabinet had before it reports
from all departments, and was well
satisfied with the situation. Mr..
Damon suggested that the custom
house and post Office resume bust
ness, and their doors were opened
at noon.
The return of the Keau Hou
from Maui is anxiously awaited.
She is expected back in the morn
ing. Much depends upon reports
brought by her. Statements of
prisoners on the matter of whether
or not the rebellion extended to
other islands are very conflicting.
About the only thing that is clear
in this connection is that Wilcox
had planned to go to Maui If beat
ell here, and set up Government.
Some late confessions made at
the Station house are to the effect
that Sam Nowlein was in command
personally at Moiliili, and that
Wilcox was on Diamond head
Monday afternoon. IF that was
the case Nowlein has had better
chance than his parter to escape
over the mountains. The Cabinet
has directed that every effort be
made especiallyssfo capture these.

There is no end of speculation
about town on the subject of funds
for the revolution. A very general
report is that certain woman con-
tributed $40, 900, and that another
woman whose name is not mention
ed so often, gave $1,000. AS to
the former all immediate relative
gives every assurance that she did
not put up a dollar. One report at the
Station house is that a subscription
was taken up, and that 81, 900 was
the largest sum given by any
one person. 1t is said that some of
the money came from San Francis
co parties. This fact is pretty we'll
established. The rifles captured
can easily be traced by their num-
bers. They are very cheap gun
and are said to be the special brand
for South American revolutions.
At $3.50 this afternoon there are
none of the enemy in sight, and the
only action Of the real war is the
movement of the troops in the
mountains.
