with thirty five men to head II oh
The rebels were found concealed be-
hind a stone wall and covered by heavy
undtrbrush of lantana. heavy fire
was opened on Murray, hand-grenades
hurled at his men, and all forced back.
Renforcemcnts were buried to their aid,
and for an hour the battle ragged. A
piece OF artillery was brought up and
opened with shot and shell until the
mountains echoed with reverberations.
The dense antana concealed the combat
| ants from each Other.
Al last the rebels were located IN an ex
tinct crater, and ii took fifteen shells to
dislodge them, but at last they were
driven ont and seven of their lumber
surrendered. Then they began coming
in with white flags until thirty seven
had surrendered. This fight is called the
battle Of Moiiiil, as il was fought on the
Moiliii Road.
On "Wednesday the insurgents were
again overtaken at IA Place called Manoa
On Monday Diamond Head had been
bonn barded and the rebels driven out. AT
Manoa they made their last determined
stand, Robert w. Wilcox commanding
in person. Tuesday was spent 10 search
ing for the enemy and following up false
rumors. II was an active, nervous day.
Troops were hurried from Moliili Road
to the foothills and to Diamond Head a
few prisoners were taken and many guns
were picked up, twenty rifles that had
never been used being found in q little
fort near Waialae.
At Manoa, Wilcox and Lot Lane had
probably about seventy-ive men, located
among the high peaks, where they hoped
to hold out until they could make terms
with the Government.
The forces of the Government were
massed against them at this point, and
the conflict ragged for some time at long
range, but artillery and the long distance
guns IL the Government men drove them
from their hiding place. Wilcox left ten
men behind as a cover and went into
Panoa valley. The natives came in
under white flag. One had an ear cut
with bullet, and they led the way to
where third lay dead with bullet in
his brain. Wilcox aud his forces then
reircated into the mountains where they
were reduced to the direst want, supplies
being entirely cut Off. They bad no
houses or tents, and were compelled 10
sleep on stones or in caves. On jan
uary 18th Nowlein, Greig, Widemann,
and Marshall were captured They were
found in thieket, and on being sum-
moned to surrender came out, dirty and
bedragged, their clothes torn and their
faces and hands scratched. Marshall,
mere boy, was the only one who seemed
cheerful.
ar
rebellion was broken, and the only ques-
ton 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 MS the most
desperate and dangerous OF the rebels,
but was easily captured. Lot Lane was
said at that lime to lie one OF the finest
specimens of physical manhood on the
islands. lie was over six feet tall and
well proporlioned, possessing herculean
strength. His father claimed to be
descendant of the kings Of Ireland, and
his mother had the blood OF the Kane
hamehas in her veins.
The Provisional Government decided
to arrest the ex Queen as the chief in.
stigator in C conspiracy. Bombs and
arms were found buried 10 her yard, and
the confessions of those captured were
sufficient TO implicate her. Marshal
Hitchcock and Adjutant General Soper
were sent for at $3.50 A. M. Wednesday,
10th, ard warrant placed in their hands
for the arrest of Mrs. Liliuokalani DOM
mus, 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-
Queen residence, in. two hacks. There
were a number 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 sofa in her bed chamber, but
arose at once and came into the reception
hall to meet the officers. Mrs. Dominus
has always been rated as q strong woman
and her captors half suspected that she
would resist, but she coolly received the
summons. Any other woman would
have swJoned or given away to flood
OF tears or imprecations of rage; with
queenly dignity and the stoical indiffer-
ence OF warrior, she answered. "All
right. will CO." Going to her dress
ing room she attired herself in black, and
seated by the side of Deputy Brown, with
Captain Parker in front, was driven TO
the Executive Building.
With this rebellion ended the last hope
Of Monarchy in the islands. The Repub.
lie had proven to the world that 1t was
able TO put down any internal insurrec-
ton. Over two thousand men were con-
stantly ready at the slighteet notice to
spring to arms to defend the liberal gov
eminent. The ex.Queen was confined for
a Icing time In the Executive Building In
large airy apartment in the second story.
She was treated with kindness and her
lady friends were permitted to visit her.
She addressed letter TO the President re-
nouncing any claim on the throne OF the
Hawaiian people soon after her arrest
and before her trial. After few months
she was released, and returned to her
home at Washington Place, where she
now lives, surrounded by splendor and
elegance, but shutting herself up and
refusing to communicate with any one
save her most intimate friends. She
says the Republic cannot be overthrown,
and all she asks is to be permitted TO live
uudisturbed as plain Mrs. Dominus.
President Dole has pardoned all the
political prisoners. The wounds male
by the revolution and rebellion that fol-
lowed are being rapidly healed, and oil
look forward to long era Of prosperity
ia the islands.
