STORY OF THE CASE.

According to the evidence, Kamuela
went into the house of a Japanese at
Kamoiliili, while the occupant was TAX
ing a siesta, and gathering up certain
personal effects was about to make off
with the bundle. At this juncture the
japanese awoke and, springing off his
couch, exclaimed, whats the matter,
karlaka?" AS the japanese went to
intercept the intruder's escape, Kamu
ella jabbed him in the shoulder with a
jack-knife and ran out with the weap-
on in his hand AS he was pursued with
hue and cry by the Japanese and his
neighbors, Kamuela kept them at bay
by brandishing the knife about him.
When the pursuit became too hot he
threw the knife away but it was found
and he was captured virtually red
handed. His defense in court did not
amount to a whit more than his formal
plea of not guilty on arraignment ex-
cepting that it was a denial of guilt
under oath.

ALL SERENE
WITH JURY
A Contempt Case
Could Not Be
Got Up.
Kamuela Found Guilty
Upon P!ainest
Evidence.
AxtelI- iendrick Verdict Set Aside.
De Bolt Has Long Calendar
at Chambers.

Kamuela was found guilty yesterday
afternoon of assault with weapon.
Judge Gear sentenced him to be i'm
prisoned at hard labor for eighteen
months, the term being but six months
less than the longest the law allows.
Ella Long, who defended Kamuela by
assignment of the court, had put the
defendantAon the stand as the sole wit
ness for the defense and asked him but
one question. This was if he stabbed
the japanese alleged to have been as
saulted.
Il did not" was the answer
Mr. Fleming for the Territory was
, met with objections to any cross-eX-
animation of the defendant which did
| not bear upon that simple denial of
guilt, yet some questions objected to
on that ground were allowed.
The jury retired at 1925 and half an
hour later called the bailiff to give them
a fresh supply of blank ballots. They
| came into court after an absence OF
more than an hour and through Carl
| Willing as foreman announced that
they could not agree. They had taken
ten ballots and We're divided eight to
four. Judge Gear sent them down town
for lunch, giving a gentle hint by re-
| marking that it ought to be possible to
reach a verdict under the evidence
presented. At $3.50 the jury returned q
verdict of guilty.

A BLIZZARD In WYOMING.
btockmen Alarmed for Their Herds on the
Ranges-sheep Dying In the Red
Desert Country.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 13.-The
storm that set in several days ago
yesterday assumed the proportions
of a blizzard throughout southern
and western Wyoming, and stockmen
who are ranging herds and flocks in
regions where there is little feed are
now greatly alarmed. In the west
ern portions Of the state snow has
fallen to a great depth, but from
Evanston east to the Nebraska line
the snowfall has gradually dimin-
ished. High winds have accompanied
the storm and the snow has been
piled up in railroad cuts, delaying
traffic. The weather has been Bit
ter cold and the Indians are fearing
colder weather. In the Red Desert
country, between Rawlins and Evan
ston, which IL the most favored Of
all the winter ranges in the state,
sheep are dying, the grass being
covered up and the supply Of sage
brush short. Cattle are in poor con-
dition, owing to the long string Of
severe storms, and in sections where
there is no hay to feed the losses
win be considerable.

THE VENEZUELAN TROUBLE.
Protocols for the Raising of the Blockade
VIII BE Signed BY Minister Bowen and
the Allies To-Day.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The proba-
bility is that the protocols for the
raising of the blockade which has
been maintained by England, Ger
many and Italy against Venezuela
for more than month will be signed
by Minister Bowen and the repre-
sentatives Of the allied governments
here to-day. Every indication point
ed to that end last night. Minister
Bowen had busy day yesterday con-
ferring with the English and italian
ambassadors and the German minis
tiers regarding various features Of the
protocols, with the result that they
are practically in final shape. The
signing of the protocols will, it is ex-
pected, be done at the British en-
bassy, as it is regarded rather i'm
prudent for Sir Michael Herbert to
venture out on account Of his ILL
ness. The protocols will provide for
the raising of the blockade at once,
for a cash payment of $500 to each
of the three allied governments and
for the payment to Germany of l.
100000 bolivars in five installments,
less the e5,500 paid in cash.
The first installment Of the 1,700,-
900 bolivars, or $4,000, is to be paid
on the 18th Of March. The protocols
also will provide for the reference of
the question Of preferential treat
ment to The Hague, although it is
this feature will be so
worded as to leave loophole in the
event II. is desired to- settle the, ques-
ton without such reference.
For the payment Of claims Of the
allies Mr.. Bowen has arranged to be-
gin Immediately the setting aside Of
80 per cent. of the receipts Of the
two ports of Porto Cabello and In
Guaira, as originally proposed.

The Senate Was In Executive ses-
sion Nearly All Yesterday.
COMMITTEE DEBATES TRUST ISSUE.
rhs House Makes slow Progress with the
sundry Civii Biii, Discussion Taking
Place on tho Increased Cost Of Main
tanning the white House.


Washington, Feb. 13.-With the ex-
ception OF q few minutes during
which some routine business was
transacted the session OF the senate
yesterday was behind closed doors.
After being in executive session for
Ave hours on the Panama canal
treaty the senate adjourned.
Senator Frye introduced bill pros
viding fines OF $1,000 for persons en-
gagged In riots at sea. A bill provid-
ing for postal checks in place OF all
bills of less than IS was introduced
by Senator Penrose.
The senate committee on judiciary
continued its consideration of the
trust Question yesterday and after
holding two sessions adjourned until
to-day. The committee was especial
ly concerned in an effort to SO amend
the Littlefeld bill as not to make 1t
burdensome to small corporations.
1t practically is the unanimous opin-
ion of the committee that o bill
should be enacted into law, but there
Is much differences as to the phrases
ology to be employed. There also
Is practical unanimity as to the de-
STABILITY Of making the proposed law
apply to corporations which are ca
pable of becoming oppressive in their
operation and Of relieving those
which are benefcent in the opera
lions and are not extensive enough
to require close supervision. The
committee is finding difficulty in de-
fining line of demarcation, but the
members express the belief that a
way will be found out of the diff
Guilty and that the bill will be SO
modified as not to make 1t onerous
upon small concerns.
The house made slow progress with
the sundry civil bill yesterday, cover
ing only 81 pages and leaving 40 pages
still to be disposed OF. The delays
were occasioned by rather protract-
ed discussion Of the item in the bill
for the maintenance Of the white
house and considerable debate upon
the item appropriating $3,OOO,O0o for
the relief Of distress in the Philip
pines. Mr.. Gaines, democrat, of Ten
nessee, and Mr.. Fitzgerald, democrat,
Of New York, criticised the greatly
increased cost of maintaining the
white house. An amendment to cut
in half the appropriation for the re-
lief Of distress in the Philippines was
defeated, but the language Of the
paragraph was modified to require
annual reports Of the expenditures Of
the money.
Saturday was substituted for to-
day for the consideration Of private
pension bills in order that the house
might proceed with the sundry civil
bill to-day. At 5:15 p. m. the house
adjourned.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-The report
on the Ellins rebate bill, ordered
favorably reported by the house COM
mittee on interstate commerce
Wednesday, was filed in the house
yesterday by Mr.. Mann, Of Illinois.
The six minority members also fled
their views. After saying that they
do not oppose the bill as reported,
and that it will not afford much re-
lief, they add that the little of good
that 1t does contain the people should
have. The minority proposes that the
bill be amended by adding the prin-
cipal feature Of the Littlefeld bill.
