That the rebels are located in
Euuanu is almost certain as their
tracks could be seen at the head of
Manoa. The men are surrounded
by Government forces one party
is stationed ct Kooiau, another at
the Pali, while Nuuanu Valley is
well guarded.
The shRfpshooters under Captain
Kidwell, numbering about forty
men, arrived in the Pauoa camp
yesterday afternoon about 2:3O
O'clock. They had been securing
the upper portion of Pauoa but did
not come across Wilcox's party.
They discovered tracks Of the
rebels. Captain Kidwell thought
that the men had retreated towards
Nuuanu, hoping to escape by way
of Koolau.
The sharpshooters had a long
tramp yesterday. They appeared
at the head of the valley, some
waving truce flags. In the dis.
tance they looked like natives and
there Was great excitement In
camp, many believing that the
rebels were surrendering them.
selves. AS the party moved nearer
it was soon learned that 1t was
composed Of Captain Kidwelps
men. Before they reached camp
word was passed around that they
had killed two men and had three
prisoners In tow. This report
proved to be incorrect, no one was
shot and no prisoners were taken.
The rifienaen said that they had
fired at what appeared to be two
retreating figures and that was all.
They were a tired looking and
hungry lot Of men when they struck
camp. They were Disguised with
everything on account of the nom
success of their mission. After
eating some lunch the sharp
shooters left for town.
During the morning there were
no signs of hostile rebels. The
Tantalus ridge was thoroughly
searched by Lieutenant Coyne and
his men. They left Punchbowl
about 9 o'clock on Wednesday
night and reached and camped at
the Japanese nursery. They made
an early start and finally reached
the Pauoa camp. On their march
they caught one native straggler. a
a half-caste named Poole, and Ar
thur Fitzgerald.
Poole was mighty glad to sur
render, and when he reached camp
he was questioned about Wilcox
and his movements. The prisoner
stated that he and the rebel who was
killed by Lieutenant Kings men
on Wednesday night, both deserted
when the sharpshooters made che
attack at Manoa. He said that
Wilcox had about thirty men with
him and intended, if possible, to
escape by way of Koolau. Poole is
a carpenter. He was in the 'S9 re-
bellion. About $50 rounds of am
munition were found upon him.
His clothes were torn into shreds
and in exposed places his flesh was
a mass of scratches, caused by
coming in contact with the lam
tana.
Arthur Fitzgerald is well-known
character about town. He has been
hanging around the military camps
since Monday. He was found yes
terday on the side of Pauoa. He
could not give a satisfactory ac-
count of himself so was sent in
town with the other prisoner. He
was released later.
The rebel who was killed in
Pauoa Valley on Wednesday night
was buried yesterday by native.
The body was not identified, but
Poole said he was one Of Wilcox's
lieutenants. He wore a coat such
as was used by the military under
the monarchy. The brass buttons
were removed and kept as souve-
Mrs by the soldiers.
A report from the front last night
stated that the mangled remains
of a white man had been found up
Manoa, late yesterday, by some OF
the military. On searching the
BODY the name of L. Marshall was
found on the socks.
