dirty and bedraggled, their clothes
torn and their faces and hands
scratched. Marshall, mere boy,
was the only one who seemed cheer
iul.
The war was now man hunt.
The rebellion was broken, and the
only question now was the capture
of the fugitives. Robert Wilcox was
taken and sent to prison, and then
the hunt for Lot Lane began. He
was regarded as the most desperate
and dangerous OF the rebels, but was
easily captured. Lot Lane was said
to be at that time one of the finest
specimens of physical manhood on
the islands. He was six feet tall and
we'll proportional, possessing hercu-
lean strength. His father claimed to
be a defendant of the kings of Ire
land, and his mother had the blood
of the Kamehamehas in her veins.
The provisional government de-
cided to arrest the ex queen as the
chief instigator in the conspiracy.
Bombs and arms were found buried
in her yard, and the confessions OF
those captured were sufficient to i'm
plicate her. Marshall Hitchcock and
jutantGeneral Soper were sent
for at $50 a. M, Wednesday, 10th,
and a warrant placed in their hands
for the arrest of Mrs. Liliuokalani
Dominus, the ex-queen, and deliver
her to Colonel Fisher, commanding
the militia at the executive building.
They left at once for Washington
Place, the ex-queens residence, in
two hacks. There were num-
Der of native guards around the
house who did not even challenge
the officers. The mistress of the
house had no visitors inside. The
ex,queen was lying on a sofa in her
bed-chamber, but arose at once and
came into the reception hall to meet
the officers. Mrs. Dominus has al
ways been rated as a strong woman
and her captors half expected that
she would resist, but she coolly re-
ceived the summons. Any other
woman would have swooned or
given away to flood of tears OF
imprecations OF rage; with queenly
dignity and the stoical indifference
of a warrior, she answered: al
