press has the following correspondence !:
| HONOLULU, Jan. 11.-There were nc
fresh developments in the threatened up
rising until last Sunday afternoon, the
9th inst, when the marshals detectives
| brought in the news of such an effect as
TO Immediately summon tho cabinet and
the leading officers of the military and
the citizens guard for consultation.
In few minutes after their arrival
Deputy Marshal Brown and n squad of
police under Captain Parker left for the
beach at WalkaIkai with orders to search
the premises of Henry Bertelmann, a
prominent royalist. Just previous to
reaching the place the posse was joined
by Charles L. Carter, Alfred Carter and
bers of the citizens guard.
Finding Bertelmann and a strange
white man there, Brown proceeded o read
the warrant. When about half way
through, shots were heard from the rear
OF the house. Brown rushed out to join
his squad just as Charles Carter shouted !:
There they are unler the boat shed in
the rear of the lot, and he rushed for
ward, followed by his cousin, Castle and
others.
At that instant n volley was fired by n
crowd of natives under the shed, and
Charles Carter and Lieutenant Holi fell,
wounded. The police charged and the
natives retreated to the brush, keeping
up desultory firing. As the police only
numbered eight, and there were three or
four times as many natives, hey returned
to the house, taking with them three of
the rebels whom they had captured. TAX
ing the wounded men in and first caring
for them as well as possible. they
searched the prisoners, placing Bertel-
man also under arrest.
The first prisoner was recognized as
John Lane. He had a heavy revolver, a
belt of cartridges and a rifle; n second
pocket pistol and belt of cartridges
The others were unarmed. but short
rifle was found behind the door. 1t evil
IDENTITY belonged to Lane, as Holi says he
was the man who shot him. There is no
doubt Carter's three wounds came from
Lanes pistol.
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 fire, but without effect. Realizing
4 haa FIa.nur u n
word must be got TO town at all hazards,
Brown and Parker resolved to make a
dash for their horses, and they were soon
at the nearest telephone.
About this time the natives were adj
vancing on the house to take it by storm.
when one of the officers told Bertelmann
he would blow his brains out on the in
slant the first man inside the house was
hurt. Bertelmann called to the natives
and they withdrew and ceased firing.
Within two minutes after receiving the
telephone account of the fight, a detail of
- men stationed at the government build
ing was ordered out. The command was
given to Lieutenant King. Volunteers
were called for and nearly every man in
the barracks stepped to the front. Within
10 minutes the detail was on the scene of
the trouble, four miles away. As soon as
they appeared within shooting distance.
the natives fired a parting volley and
fled. Alfred Carter and DR.. Wal |
tiers came up at this time and |
were quickly followed by the others.
Charles Carter received the medical at
tcntion he SO much needed. 1t was found |
he was shot in the breast twice and once |
in the leg. He was taken to a residence |
nearby, where he died next morning. Hollis |
wound was through the breast but not /
fatal.
The promises were thoroughly searched
and there was brought TO light several |
rifles and pistols. Lieutenant King was
instructed 10 hold the place at all odds, as
II was evidently a distributing point for
arms. AT daylight large forces of natives
who had taken mp n strong position on
the slope of a ranch, attacked the place.
After standing their fire about an hour
and finding the natives had the advantage
IN numbers and position, King moved his
force TO Sans Souci, few hundred yards
nearer town. Within a short time Lieu
tenant Coyne and p more regulars and
leld p iece were sent out.
The number OF insurgents was variously
estimated at from 100 To 200. President
Murray, of the citizens guard, with p

At Palolo valley Murray's force was
net by n large body of insurgents with a
small howItzer. The first intimation
Nurray's force had of the enemy was a
shower of shrapnel, which did no harm.
They retreated a short distance, estab-
ished and fortified themselves aud estab-
lshed telephone communication with /
lieutenant King, the object being To pre-
ent, II possible, a retreat. This fight &C.
urred on the side of n mountain, whose
