w YAILUKU, Maui, Feb. 23.-Wal-
/ vAf luku's company of the FIRST
/" regiment, N. C. H., has seen
active service. 1t was under
orders to assist the Maui sheriff In
making the arrest of Mate Sutton Oh
the schooner Honoipu, because Cap
tain Olsen claimed the sheriff did not
have a search warrant, and went post
/ haste from Waikiki last Wednesday
to Kahului Upon arrival there, how
I ever. the captain of the schooner weak
ened and the military company was
sent back to Wailuku.
Yesterday morning the mate of the
schooner, at present in the harbor OF
Kahului was tried by District Magls-
trate Mckay of Waikiki and found
guilty of assault upon one of the sail
ors of the same vessel. The ARRAY
took place on board the schooner about
two weeks ago, but as Judge Mckay
| then decided that according to mari
time law he lacked jurisdiction in the
matter, United States Judge Estee OF
Honolulu. upon request, forwarded a
warrant of arrest to the Maui sheriff.
The service of this warrant caused
much excitement. On Wednesday sew
eral police officers, armed with the
the captain and cabin boy barred their
Ientrance into the cabin where the
mates stateroom was located, the
tcaptain claiming a search warrant was
necessary.
! The sheriff, becoming nettled ana
! fearing possible resistance to the au-
thority of the law, sent word to the
Wailuku skating rink, where the mill
Iitary company was drilling under Cap
tain Keola, requesting fifteen men to
assist him in making the arrest The
whole company Immediately volunteer
! ed to go to Kahului and the offer was
accepted by the captain, though it tax
ed the carrying capacity of the Wal
Iluku hacks to the utmost. The soldier
! boys however. did not have an op-
portunity to make military assault
upon the vessel, for upon reflection her
| CAPTAIN allowed the search to go on
and the mate was found by the police,
not in the cabin but in the hold, the
hatchway leading to it being nailed
/ down. 1t is said the schooner was
ready to depart for the Coast and
therefore the delay incidental to trial
was irksome to the captain.
