JOHN A CUMMINS.
John A. Cummins, one of the
late Royalist commissioners to
Washington, was arrested Satur.
day afternoon. A few hours before
he had taken the oath to support
the Government. This, however,
availed him naught as his ofense
against the Republic preceded his
affirmation. The charge against
Mr.. Cummins is having previous
knowledge OF the rebellion and not
acquainting the Government with
the facts. This constitutes con-
spiracy. Mr.. Cummins is in Oahu
prison.
ON BATTLE FIELDS.
Captain Parker found two rifles
and 1000 rounds of ammunition at
Kahale Sunday. They were dug
up out of the sand on the beach.
DIR. McGrew, Mrs. DR.. Day and
Mrs. DR.. Wood were present and
all assisted in digging up the mu-
nitions. The two ladies worked
like beavers, and when the guns
were found they wanted to try a
shot from them. Captain Parker
loaded the rifles and each of the
ladies sent a bullet whizzing over
the water Two more rifles were
found in the top Of an algaroba
tree at J. w. Smiths place.
Large numbers of people visited
the scenes of the recent battles
with the rebels OH sunday. Ber-
telmann's premises were visited by
hundreds. The Lookout station,
Diamond Head, Antoine Rosa's
place and the beach along to Wal
alae were all gone over. At Moi
liili the hills were full of people,
searching the lantana for rifles Of
the battle. The most interesting
find, perhaps, was an unexploded
shell, sent into the hill side from
Government gun.
FRITZ WAGNER.
After careful examination Fritz
Wagner, who was arrested on ar
rival of the Arawa, Saturday after
noon, was released by order Of the
Marshal. Wagner states that he
has always been and still is wholly
loyal to the Republic.
Eek Detective Wagner says thai
the rebellion has just begun. Zone
thousand stand of arms and 800
men are on the way here to assis
the rebellion" declares the darl
man.
BILLY" ALDRICH.
William Aldrich, blk and stow
away, said in San Francisco Dec
ember 24th that the revolution was
coming. He had letter from {
royalist here saying they were Ger
tain to succeed. 1t was claimed
that the rebels had 5000 armec
men. Aldrich said on the 24tl
that the next steamer would fin'
the Republic overthrow.
WHERE ARE THEY
Said an officer last evening
1--WE have perhaps one-third c
the rebel guns, perhaps one-thir'
of the dynamite and not one
twentieth of the pistols. There i
not, however, a great deal to fear
except from the bombs. TIL
rifles and reviewers have bee
buried and will rust to uselessness
No doubt large quantities of mu
nitions have been thrown into tn
sea.
CAPTAIN FRIENDLY.
Many persons are suspicious c
the schooner Eppinger whic
stopped off port Sunday morning
They believe she carries arms fc
the rebels. Captain White, how
ever, is we'll known here, and
believed to be an earnest sympa
thizer with the Government
When here last year he came ashor
and offered the services of hin
self and crew to the Provision;
Government.
