wall, with Company Is, was this
morning camped in the crater of
Punchbowl. Capt. Wilder, with
Company ID, was stationed at the
beginning of the Tantalus road i'm
mediately back Of Punchbowl.
Company A, Capt. Smith, was on
Pensacola street ready to move to
the support of Punchbowl, or into
either Manoa or Makiki valley.
, The forces reported by Dunn did
not materialize. If such move
ment had been intended by the
hostiles, it was abandoned. 1t
would seem that the report of the
day, to the effect that the enemy
was running away in every direc-
ton, were correct.
The squad of Citizens Guard
under Captain Murray, came in
about one o'clock this morning
with five prisoners. This COM
mand had very hard time Of it.
They were moving all day in
either the lantana of the hills, or
sand of the beach. Their prisoners
gave the same version of the rebel
lion that was had from the kanakas
taken at Moiliili. This was that
they had been drafted into service
by Wilcox and Nowlein, that they
did not know what had become of
their leaders, and that the only
thing the rebels were doing was
making every effort to get out Of
the way.
Late yesterday afternoon, Cap
tain King, Minister of the Interior,
telephoned from Waianae the result
of the naval expedition in
which he was promoted to the
title of Admiral, Captain Pratt to
Commodore, Captain Kidwell to
the same, and in which the detail
of the Sharpshocters became mar
ines. The Claudine was used as a
man-of-war with the tug as con-
sort. The report had been that
arms and men were being taken
from two foreign vessels by island
schooners. The naval force had
been instructed to sink the schoon-
ers, and then give battle to the two
barks. 1t turned out that there
was only one large vessel, and one
small schooner. These were some
distance apart, but were in line,
and from Waianae looked to be to-
gether. They were becalmed, and
the navy PRO tenn. left them out
there drifting around, and came
back.
In the course of the afternoon and
evening of yesterday, the commands
OF Capt. Zeigler ant Lieut.. Coyne
came back to the barracks. These
are the two details that have been
under fire for lengthy periods sew
eral times since the war began.
Capt. Zeigler and his men had been
in the lantana for twelve hours, and
were completely tagged out. Lieut..
Coyne brought in, with other plum
der, some 45-7o. which he had
found with the arsenal near Antoine
Rosa's place on Diamond Head.
The men in this command had
remarked the day before, that
some of the bullets whistling
about them sounded louder than
the ammunition of small carbines.
Coyne, who is veteran of the riel
rebellion, was very we'll pleased
with his campaign, and was ready
to go into the field again. Lieu-
tenant King followed him from Dia-
mond Head and brought as a
prisoner from Sans Souci, George
Lycurgus, business man and the
manager of the Sans Souci resort.
Lycurgus was taken to the
Station house and locked up. He
will be asked to explain a couple
of suspicious circumstances observ-
ed at his place on Monday and
Monday night. Lycurgus seemed
to be very much surprised at his
arrest, and declared that he was
not connected in any way with
either side.
The mystery of the firing at Sans
Souci, Monday night, has not yet
been cleared up. The enemy could
scarcely have crossed the Waikiki
road, and it does not seem possible
that a passage could have been
effected through the lines of Zeigler,
Smith and Murray during the day.
Shots were fired into the guard
room at Sans Souci Monday night.
The bullets passed through the
walls, directly over the heads of
the soldiers.
There was activity on the other
side of the mountains Tuesday.
Cecil Brown and Alfred Carter
covered considerable country with
their companies, and Judge Robert
son was we'll over the ridge with
his detail. In Cecil Browns COM
mand there were a number of
native COW boys brought up from
Eva by Fred Dowsett. Curtis
Iaukea took party over the Pail
this forenoon to relieve Cecil
Brown.
The Iaukea party consisted of
Messrs. Rose, Mcbride, of Kauai,
Dove. the surveyor, Norten and
Cowan, students, and Eddie Dow
sett; they were ordered to report to
Cecil Brown. These men had
fresh picked horses and expect to
make big ride before the sun goes
down.
! Marshal Hitchcock, Deputy
Brown and Captain Parker and
their assistants, were buster than
ever at the Police station this
morning, The Marshal and the
Deputy were receiving reports,
directing the movements of parties,
