fire to great advantage upon the sol
diers.
A rified gun was SEN out to Coyne
and the shells dropped with great ac-
curacy upon the summit. This
frightened the rebels away. One shell
burst in a group exactly on the high
est peak and killed several men. The
number of rebels on the crater was es-
timated at over 100.
At an early hour T. B. Murray, with
twenty-five specials and ten mounted
policemen were sent out on the Wal
alae road. Nearing the ridge back Of
Diamond head, a force of -ebels opened
fire on them with a field piece. That
they had n vas a surprise. Bob Will
o handled the gun. He was in a
natural fortiication, a small volcanic
cone called Maumae. None were hit.
Murray fell back and established a
camp.
Capt. Zeigler was then SEN out with
a force of volunteers and sharpshooters
and a rified gun. He arrived at 3 p. IN.
Partly by Smelling and partly by direct
attack of the men Wilcox was forced
to abandon his position, carrying off
his gun, which has not since been heard
from.
Large numbers of natives were in
the chaparral below and above the
road. Firing was sharp on both sides
for several hours. Ziegler and Muir
rays men escaped with few casualties,
none serious. The natives did not
know how to handle their guns. Sew
eral of them were killed and wounded.
An effort was made to corner the in
surgents and compel their surrender.
About 4 p. IN. the tug Ellen got beyond
the head with a gun and sharpshooters.
They shelled the rebels out of the
bush on the Waialae shore. They also
wrecked Rosa's house, then landed and
captured u quantity of arms and am
munition stored there.
Towards night over thirty of the
rebels surrendered to Ziegler, coming
in squads showing white flags and
looking foolish.
They were mostly riff raft natives from
the city. Then and subsequently from
the scene of the battle, and at Rosa's,
were captured about 120 carbines, 500
pounds of cartridges, besides sixty
belts full. and about twenty-five dyna-
mite hand grenades of foreign make.
A native was captured with d note
from Wilcox to Nowlein, at the.head,
proposing that as they were defeated
they should seize the steamer Eaala,
which had anchored some six miles up
the coast on her way to Kahuku and,
go to Maui and there set up Il govern
ment. In consequence of this the
Ellen started again at II p. N. with a
gun and ten sharpshooters. They
found the Kaala all right and Sent her
on her way.
