The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-02-07

protect him, as there was number of
angry men in Honolulu who would like to
know where he was. This statement some
what disconnected the rebel and he replied
he was glad they were with him, and re-
ouested to be taken to Mr.. Smith at once.
After one of the rebels was changed into
another hack and c. A. Brown and Luther
Wilcox had taken his place, the rebel
leaders request was complied with. Be-
fore starting, however, Wilcox turned and,
placing his arms about the shoulders of G..
A. Brown said: you've been my friend,
and 1 want you to see that 1 get to the
station-house." Brown replied that he
would get him there dead or alive; try to
get him there alive. The party arrived at
police headquarters few minutes after 5
T. N.
When questioned by Attorney-G General
Smith and Marshal Hitchcock, Wilcox
showed considerable nervousness. He
stated at the outset that he had two meals
out at Hopkins place, and that when ar
rested he had no arms. Asked for infor-
nation concerning his movements and
the whereabouts of the remainder of the
rebels, Wilcox stated that on Wednesday
last he, with some fifty others, was in
Manoa Valley. After being fired into by
the military he retreated into the hills and
assembled to the ledge near the pass be-
tween Manoa and Nuuanu valleys. When
he arrived there he concluded to give up
the fight and take care of himself. Select
ing ten men out OF the number of his fol-
lowers, he struck across northward toward
Nuuanu Valley near the reservoirs and
went up the west side OF the valley to a
place called Maunakiekie (high mountain).
No guards were seen en- route. Remained
there Thursday, Thursday night and Fri
day. Friday night went to kalihi. On
Sunday crossed over 10 the house on the
reef beyond the leper receiving station.
Remained there until yesterday just before
being arrested. At this point of the inter
rogation Wilcox failed to answer whittier
he was going in the hack when arrested.
All of the ten men who left with Wilcox
from Manoa Valley had deserted him ex-
cept Ioela, who was arrested with him.
The party left behind by Wilcox in Manoa
consisted of some forty of forty-tive men
and are supposed TO be back of Tantalus
Most of the men are soldiers of the old
Household Guards. The officers in COM
mand of them were Lot Lane, Llikoe,
John Silva and Pukila, who was after
ward shot and killed by the sharpshooters
in Pauoa. Wilcox evinced considerable
surprise when apprised of the death Of
Pukila. Wilcox believes the remainder of
his party are now in the mountains on the
top of the ridge on the east side OF Nuuanu
Valley, near Konahuanui.
Wilcox is suffering from sore foot and
his hands and wrists are badly scratched,
presenting withal a rather dilapidated ap-
pearance. He had not seen or heard of
Nowlein since last Monday, when he re-
treated from Manoa.
These arrests furnished plentiful topics
of conversation during the afternoon and
evening. At 2 P. NJ. special session of
the executive and advisory councils was
called. 1t was not anticipated that this
body would have met again, as its func-
tons deyolved upon the new Legislature.
1t being impossible to call the latter at
such short notice, and the death of Charles
/. Carter having created a vacancy in the
lower House, the old councils wee called
together to act as provided in the new con-
stitution. There being four vacancies since
the last meeting, owing to absence and
disability the only business was to nomi-
nate persons to fill them. The nominal
tons were made and the councils adjourned
till Wednesday at , P. N.
Lot Lane is the only prominent rebel at
large now. He viii probably surrender
when he hears of the capture of Wilcox,
Nowlein and the others.
Louis Marshall, one of the captains under
Nowlein, was, until the rebellion broke out.
clerk in the harness-shop of w. E.
Foster. He formerly belonged to the
military and is considered a crack
bicyclist.
Speaking of the time of opening the
schools and allowing general traffic
Attorney-General Smith said tonight:
eve are going to finish the contract we
have on our hands before we attempt to do
anything else. The people are determined
to see this thing finished and we are going
to see it through to the end
All the prominent merchants of the city
join in publishing a card to the effect that
all their employees are granted leave of
absence as long as their services are
required by the Government, and that in
the meantime they will receive full pay.
While the capture of Wilcox has practi-
cally ended the rebellion. no efforts are be-
ing spared to ferret out his lieutenant, Lot
Lane, and a special detail of Citizens
Guards had been sent out to look for him.
Among the arrests to-day were Major
Seward, the secretary of the Royalist Com
mission which recently visited Washing
ton, who is supposed to have negotiated
the purchase of the arms with which the
rebels were supplied. 1t is claimed the
Government has proof that he left here
with draft for $4,000 for that purpose.
Also that it is known who contributed to
make up the amount.
1t is now known that the sealing
schooner which brought the arms for the
rebels was the H. C. Wahlberg, whose cap
tain, A. P. Lorentzen, has already had
trouble with the authorities here on ac-
count of opium. Charles T. Gulick, a
prominent royalist and former Cabinet
Minister, and Pat Lane, brother of Lot
Lane, were arrested tonight.
