QUEEN LII ON THE RACK

vices have been received here by the
steamer Warrimoo up to Feb. 2: The
dispatches say: There is a lull in affairs
here and quiet will probably reign until
the military court, now sitting, will have
finished it's work. There are large num-
ber of conspiracy cases yet to be tried and
the proba bIlities are that the court Will sit
for two or three weeks at least.
Great interest is attached to the out
come of the trial of the ex-queen. The
government claims to have more than
sufficient evidence to convict her or
treason. What her punishment will be in
case of conviction is hard TO conjecture.
Her case will probably come up on next
Monday. She is charged with treason.
| The charge reads:
| First-Treason, by engaging in open rebellion
| against the republic of Ha vail, by attemp Ing
| by force OF arms, to overthrow and destroy the
same and by levying war. and by adherIng 10
| the enemies of the republic of Hawaii, giving
| them aid and comfort within the Hawaiian
| islands and elsewhere.
| Second-TTeason, by aiding, abetting. procur-
ing. counselling, inciting, countenanclng and en-
| couraglng Others to commit tire son and engag-
| ing in open rebellion against the republic OF
| Hawaii. and in attempting By force OF arms to
| overthrow the same, and adhering TO the ene-
mics of the republic of Hawaii, in giving them
| aid and comfort in the Hawaiian islands and
| elsewhere.
There are six specifications in the
| charge. The military committee brought
in findings in a cases. The names of the
indicted are: r. w. Wilcox, 5. Nowlein,
| II. E. Bertelmaun, Carl Widemann, w.
! II. o. Greig, Louis Marshall, ". c. Lane,

kane, Kiliona, Joseph Clark, d. Januna,
| w. Widdlfied, Joe 4. Kiakihi. OF the
foregoing ID. Januna and j. Kalaukoa
| were acquitted.
The others were all found guilty and
the sentences we're fixed by the commit
tee subject to review by President Dole.
The sentences vary very much, all the
way from sentence of death to imprison-
ment for five years. The least sentence
for treason by the Hawaiian statutes is
IMPRISONMENT for five years and fine of
not less that 5000.
The six leaders we're all sentenced to be
hanged. They are: Charles L. Gulick'
William II. Rel kard, William I. Seward,
Robert w. Wilcox. Sam Nowlein and
| Henry Bertelmann.
The sentence in the last two cases will
be commuted as both men have furnished
valuable evidence for the government

| is an Englishman. Wilcox a Hawaiian.
The only one of the four who is entitled
| to the protection of United States is Will.
liam L. Seward.
As yet no date has been set for the ex
ecutions. The only important case tried
before the military court since the de-
parture of the Australia is V. Y. Ashford
He is charged with treason. A batch oi
90 native rebels, charged with treason, is
now occupying the attention of the court
United States Minister Willis ha:
changed his attitude somewhat since las
advices. He is not so belllgerent in his
| demands. His latest communication tC
the government is a request that If the
death penalty is imposed in cases of anS
| Americans that tho executions be post
poned until he can communicate with hi:
government. The British commissions
has made a similar request. Thus far bu
two men who claim American protection
have been tried. They are Louis Mar
shall, charged with open rebellion anC
Thomas Walker, who pleaded guilty L
charges of treason.
The government has decided to banisl
three persons from the islands for com
| plicity in the rebellion. They are: j. L
Branston and A. Muller. for conspiring Il
use dynamite. and e. b. Johnstone
special police officer, who turned traitor
The men will be sent on the Warrimoo
leaving for Victoria to-day. Cranstor
and Muller were to blow up the Contra
Union church on the night when the re
bcllion broke out.
OF the three exiles, Johnstone is a Brit
ish subject, Cranston an American and
Muller German. They say they do no
know what they we're arrested for, wer'
given no trial, were kept confined with
out any chance of communicating, ant
did not know they were to leave until the
Warrimoo whistled to leave. Johnstone
will remain at Vancouver, but the other
say they will not leave the steamship bu
will return on her to Honolulu when sh
goes back. They claim that they hav
been the victims of gross outrages.
The schooner Norma arrived at Homo
lulu on Jan. 80 with n cargo of salmon, 8
days from Claxton. No trace of arms o.
| opium was found, and thus another sen
, sation was spoiled.
