 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 19.-Tho steamer Alameda arrived from Auckland and Syd- ney via Honolulu and brings news of a revolution and bloodshed at Honolulu. Charles L. Carter, who was one of the an- nexation commissioners, was killed, and other government supporters were wound ed. There has been much fighting, and at least 12 natives have been killed.
 Nearly 900 royalists arc under arrest. Robert Wilcox is the leadar of the rebels. The fighting was still in progress when the Alameda left Honolulu on Jan. II, but the government forces had practically overcome the revolutionists. AdviceS from Honolulu up to date of Jan. II are as fol- lows:
 There were no fresh developments in the threatened uprising until last Sunday aft ernoon, the eth inst. when the mar shal's detectives brought in news for that office immediately to summon the cabinet and leading officers of the military and citizens guard for consultation. In few minutes after their arrival Deputy Mar shal Brown and a squad of police under Captain Parker left for the beach at Wai- kiki, with orders to search the premises Of Henry Bertlemann. a prominent royalist, for arms and ammunition. Just previous to reaching the place the posse was joined by Charles L. Carter, Alfred Carter and J. B. Castle who lived near by all mem bers of the citizens guard
 On raacbiDcp tho hnnsa tho dant1fv ,,,ar- shal left the squad on the lawn while he entered the house, and finding Bertlemann and a strange white man there proceeded to read his warrant When half way through. shots were heard from the rear of the house. The officers asked quickly What does that mean?"
 Bertlemann replied: II know nothing about it. There are no arms here.
 Commissioner Carter Killed.
 Brown rrfshed out to join his squad just as Charles Carter shouted, There they are, under the boatshed"' pointing to a shed in the rear of the lot and rushing for ward, followed by his cousin, Castle, and the others. At that instant a volley was fired by a crowd of natives under the shed, and Charles Carter and Lieutenant Holi fell wounded.
 The police charged and drove the ma
 
 treated to the brush. keeping up dcsul- tory firing As the police only numbered eight, and there were three OF four times us many natives. they returned to the house, taking with them three of the reb- 1 els whom they had captured in the melee during which somo 60 shots were fired. Taking the wounded men in and first caring for them as well as possible, they searched the prisoners, placing Bertlemann under arrest The first one was recog- l nized as John Lane. He had heavy re- vOlver, belt of cartridges and rifle; the sec ond pocket pistol and belt of cartridges. The other man was unarmed, but a short rife was found behind the door which evi- dently belonged to him. Holi says he was the man who shot him. There is nc 1 doubt that Cartcr's three wounds came { from Lane's pistol it having three empty l chambers.
 1 By this time tho rebels had regained 1 their courage and surrounded the house, 1 firing into it repeatedly. Leaving one man to guard the prisoners, the officers returned the fire, but without effect, as their assailantS could not be seen. 1 TeIephoned For Help. | Realizing their caso was desperate. and l that word must be got to town at all haz. 1 ards it was resolved that Brown and Par. ! ker should make n dash for their horses, l which were tied near the house This was done with success, and they were soon al :he nearest telephone.
 Alfred Carter. who had been missing since the wounding of his cousin, wa: supposed to be dead, but in reality had l escaped. with the same idea and for tho 1 purpose of getting doctor for his cousin l He had already telephoned to tho mar shal's office, besides being fortunate ir finding n doctor with whom he returned to tho scene of tho fight. On approaching the gate they were met with volley
 Dropping to the ground, Carter returned three shots; but. realizing tho impossibil ity of getting into the house unhurt, they both made their escape
 About this time the natives were ad vancing on the house to take it by storn when one of the officers told Bertlemanr ] he would blow his brains out on the in stant the first man went inside the huus, and hurt any one. Bcrtlcmann called t, the natives outside tc that effect and the, 1t once withdrew and ceased firing
 Within two minutes after receiving th tefephone account of the fight a detail O :5a men from the regulars stationed at tn government building was ordered out The command was given to Lieutenan King, the same who led the expedition against the leper outlaw Koulon som months since Volunteers were called for and nearly every man in the barrack stepped to the front. Within ten minute the detail was on the way as fast as horse and wheels could carry them, the distanc being about four miles.
 Troops to the Rescue.
 As soon as they came within shootinl distance of the scene of action the native | Carter and Dr. Walters came up at thi time and were quickly followed by others Charles Carter received the medical atten tion he so much needed. It was foun, that he was shot in the breast twice an once in the leg. One of tho breast wound ranged downward and entered the abdC men. He was taken to his residence nea by. where he died early next morning Hollis wound was through the breast, bu hot necessarily fatal He was sent to tn hospital.
