are hunting the natives down like
dogs, and are arresting inoffensive
citizens on the least provocation.
On January 9 squad OF the
regulars shot a native who came to
surrender. He was alone and

The revolutionists are split up
into two parties, the second party
being unler the leadership Of Sam
Nowlein, who has always re-
manned one of the Queens staunch-
est supporters.
The Queen herself has been re-
moved some miles from Honolulu
in the direction of Pearl City.
Threats against her life have been
made freely by certain members OF
the Government and on Jan. 10th
the representatives of foreign
countries notified the officials that
the person of the Queen must be
respected.
This revolution would have been
success only for the fact that the
Government forces discovered the
movements of the revolutionists and
caused them to declare war pre-

They have plenty Of guns and
ammunition. 1t is estimated that
1900 Winchester 44-caliber rifles

Judge Widemann, who lately re-
turned from the Coast, and is
strongly suspected of sending the
arms and ammunition with which
the revolution is being carried on
has his only son with the Nowleii
party.

Since January 9 neither of the
rebel parties have been seen. Blu
it is strongly suspected that they
have crossed the mountains and art
now combined somewhere between
Honolulu and Pearl City.
If this is the case they will be re
inforced at Waialua by 200 natives
who are ready to fight and only
await leader.
The leaders will fight to tn,
bitter end as they know that they
will be shot on sight.
