kONA and RAU REBEL
WILL HAVE NONE OF HILO's
YOKE.
Provisions Landed at Eailua Against
Sheriff Andrews Express orders.
Both Districts Send Strong Protests.

North and South Kona and Kau have
joined Hamakua and Hohala in pro-
test against Hilo and Sheriff AndrewG.
Indeed Kona has carried her protest TO
the point of rebellion against Sheriff
Andrews DEGREES and has landed
freight i'm spite of his orders, the local
police aiding in the landing.
A citizen of Kona writing under date
of January II from that district says
1.-THE protest sent from here is self
explanatory. At the meeting where 1t
was formulated very much indignation
was expressed that Sheriff Andrews
should COnstrue the duties of his office,
as Health Agent, in such a manner as
to usurp greater powers than intended
by the Board. He, a servant and sub
sdary officer has had the effrontery, to
speak for the whole of Hawaii when he
really voices but a clique of narrow
minded and village people.
I'VE. in Kona. feel that the Board
of Health never meant him to take the
drastic steps that his actions show him
to have done.
"Eau people have met at Pahala anC
Waiohnu and will send similar petit
tions to the National Board.
"Thc Upolu came to Kailua on the
9th and when Deputy Sheriff Nahale
mentioned this fact, by telephone. to
Andrews that official ordered that a
landing be prevented, and force used.
Hcwover no person would lift q fin

were landed. the local police assisting
in unloading thereby showing their
common sense.
1T is rumcred that our Sheriff will
try and make a test case of the Upolu's
breaking his rules she had a permit
from the National Board and so his
vaporing do not worry the local agents.
"EGilo people who pirate so much C
their desire to escape the 'thralldOn'
of Honolulu, seem very anxious TO put
the rest of the Island in chains and
reap a commercial benefit thereby; for
this is the logical outcome of the con-
tinuanCe of an embargo.
THE panic which IIilo shows now,
will be used against her, by windward

dollars worth of provisions from Kat

Monday per Mauna Loa were fumi-

acting under the orders of Andrews;
these goods had came from a clean
sake, fumigate and we (of Hilo) shall
be saved seems the slogan. This
business hurts the whole territory.
Last Sunday the church members
prayed for rain and also to be delivered
from plague and pestilerce and before
long we shall have to be kneeing to
the super-imposed Baal begging to be
relieved from famine. In two weeks
the food supply will be waning and it's
easy to see that disturbances from the

even now, Populations have asked as

and if we wait until the benign Hilc
merchants procure provisions from the

than the Hilo puadruped."
The steamer UpOlu, Captain F. Dal-
ton, returned yesterday from trip to
kona and Kau, calling at all the ports
along thee cast. At some of the places
/ the people had not heard of the order
made by Sheriff Andrews, at others the
order had been received and the people
were strongly disposed to resist. At
kailua a meeting had been held and
resolutions of protest adopted. The
steamer went to Honoipu, Kauaihae
PuakO, Kiholo, Kailua Napopo and
HOOkena. The people of Kailua said
that they would see that freight was
landed if it was brought there, in spite
of HilO's actions. Before leaving Homo
ipu Captain Dalton was given a letter
containing the orders issued by An
drews.
Captain Dalton was formerly first
mate of the Upolu. He was appointed to
succeed Captain Moldenhawer.
