Having a Hard Row to Hoe.

San Francisco, Jan. 19.—The steamer Alameda has arrived from Auckland and Sydney via Honolulu, and brings news of a revolution and bloodshed at Honolulu. Charles L. Carter, who was one of the annexation commissioners, was killed, and other government supporters were wounded. There has been much lighting, and at least 12 natives have been killed. Nearly 200 royalists are under arrest. Robert Wilcox is the leader of the rebels. The fighting was still in progress when the Alameda left Honolulu on Jan. 11, but the government forces had practically overcome the revolutionists. The Associated Press has the following correspondence:

Honolulu, Jan. 11.—There were no fresh developments in the threatened uprising until last Sunday afternoon, the 6th inst., when the marshal's detoctives brought in news for that officer immediately to summon the cabinet and leading officers of the military and citizens' guard for consultation. In a few minutes after their arrival Deputy Marshal Brown and a squad of police, under Captain Parker, left for the beach at Waikiki with orders to search the premises of Henry Bertlemann, a prominent royalist, for arms and ammunition.

Just previous to reaching the place, the posse was joined by Charles L. Carter, Alfred Carter and J. B. Castle, who lived near by, all members of the citizens' guard.

On approaching the liouso the deputy marshal left the squad on the lawn, while he entered the house, and finding Bertlemann and a strange white man there, proceeded to read his warrant. When half way through

Shots Were Heard

from the rear of the house. The officers asked quickly: "What does that mean?"

Bertlemann replied: "I know nothing about it. There are no arms here." Brown rushed out to join his squad just as Charles Carter shouted, "There they are, under the boat sited," pointing to a shed in the rear of the lot, and rushing forward, followed by his cousin, Castle, and the others. At that instant a volley was Jired by a crowd of natives under the shed, and Charles Carter and Lieutenant Holi fell wounded. The police charged and drove the natives out on the beach, when the latter retreated to the brush, keeping up a desultory liring.

As the police only numbered eight, and there were three or /our times as many natives, they returned to the house, taking with them three of the rebels whom they had captured in the melee, during which some i0 shots were fired. Taking the wounded men in, and lirst caring for them as well as possible, they searched the prisoners, placing Bertlemann under arrest.

Tno first one was recognized as John Lane. He had a heavy revolver, belt of cartridges and rifle the second a pocket pistol and belt of cartridges. Tlio other was unarmed but a short rifle was found behind the door, which evidently belonged to him, as Holi says he was the man who shot him. There is no doubt that Carter's three wouuds came from Lane's pistol, it having three empty chambers. By this time the rebels

Regained Their Courage

and surrounded the house, firing into it repeatedly. Leaving one man to guard the prisoners, the officers returned the lire, but without effect, us their assailants could not be seen.

Realizing that their case was desperate, and that word must be got to town ut all hazards, it was resolved that Brown and Parker should make a dash for their horses, whicli were tied near the house. This was done with success, and they were soon at the nearest telephone. Alfred Carter, who had been missing since the wounding of his cousin, was supposed to be dead, but in reality had escaped with the same idea, and for the purpose of getting a doctor for his cousin. He had already telephoned to the marshal's office, besides being fortunate in linding a doctor, with whom he returned to the scene of the fight alone. On approaching the gate they were

Met With a Volley.

Dropping to the ground, Carter returne'i throe shots, but realizing the impossibility of getting into the house unhurt, they both made their escape. About this time the natives were advancing on the house to take it oy storm, when out: of the officers told Bertlemann lie would blow his brains out the instant the lirst man went inside the house and hurt any one. Bertlemann called to the natives outside to that effect, and they at once withdrew and ceased firing.

Within two minutes after receiving the telephone account of the light a detail of 32 men from the regulars stationed at the government building was ordered out. The command was givftn to Lieutenant King, the same who tad the expedition against the leper outlaw, Konlou, some months since. Volunteers were called for and nearly every man in the barrack? stepped to the front. Withiu 10 iiiiuuUtt the detail was on the way

as fast as horses and wheels could carry them, the distance being about four miles. As soou as they came within shooting distance of the scene of action the natives

Fired a Parting Volley and Fled.

Alfred Carter and Dr. Walters came up at this time and were qnickly followed by others. Charles Carter received the medical attention he so much needed. It was found he was show in the breast twice and once in the log. One of the breast wounds ranging downward entered the abdomen. He was taken to his residence nearby, where he died early the next morning. Holi's wound was through the breast, but not necessarily fatal. He was sent to the hospital.

Soon after Deputy Marshal Brown arrived and the premises were thoroughly searched. Tne Japanese servant denied there were arms, but a six-shooter at his ear induced him to bring to light several rifles and pistols.

Lieutenant King sent the Drisoners to town and asked for further orders. He was told to hold the place at all odds, as it was evidently

A Distributing Point For Arms.

At daylight a large force of natives^ who had taken up a strong position on the slope of Diamond Head, attacked him. After standing lire about, an hour, and finding that they had the advantage of numbers and position, Lieutenant King moved his force to Satis-Souci, a pleasure resort a few hundred yards nearer town and with telephone communications. In a short time after the telephone was used, Lieutenant Coyne and 25 more of the regulars were sent out. The number of insurgents was variously estimated from 100 to 200. With Coyne's force was sent an eight centimeter field piece.

President Murray of the citizens' guard, with a" special and 10 mounted police, were sent out on a road leading to the rear of the insurgents. They met with no resistance until they reached Paola valley, over the ridge of which a stonewall extends, behind which a large body of insurgents with a small Howitzer were established. The first intimation Murray's force had of an enemy was a shower of bullets and shrapnel, which did no harm. Had the natives waited a little longer Murray troops

Could Have Keen Annihilated.

They retreated a short distance, established and fortified a camp, and established telephone communication with Lieutenant King, the object being to prevent any possible retreat. This light occurred on the side of a mountain, whose serrated side forms an almost inaccessible valley of little width. It was tlio object of the government troops to drive the rebels around the base of the mountain, from whence there is no escape except over the famous Pali road, which 10 or 12 men could hold against a small army.

As soon as it was known in Honolulu on ttunday afternoon that there was organized resistance to the government no time was lost in communicating the fact to its supporters, both by telephone and messenger. No general alarm was given, it not being deemed necessary. In response, the four companies of militia donned their uniforms and

Repaired to Their Armories,

the members of the citizens' guard reported at their respective rendezvous, and yet so quietly was everything (lone that many in the city were unaware that anything had happened out of the usual Sunday quiet.'

Between 8 and 'J p. m., however, the appearance of squads of the citizens' guard at every street corner told the tale. People were quietly warned to go home and slay there. Every important avenue was guarded by squads numberin: from ~0 to -10 meniuers of its body, leaving the entire police and military force at the immediate disposal of the I government. Cabinet and army officials made their headquarters at the marshal's office during the night, but notli- I ing occurred to warrant particular alarm. In the morning the news from the front decided the government to take immediate and stringent measures for its protection. ,"!artial Lav

Proclaimed.

At U:80 a. 111. martial law was proclaimed and all saloons and liquor stores closed. The news of the death of Carter, who was a popular y^ung lawyer and was recently elected a member of the legislature, intensified the general feeling and it would have gone hard with liis assassins had they not been strongly guarded. By noon Monday all the stores were closed and there were few people on the streets. The street cars and busses were stopped and the only excitement was at the marshal's office, where arms were being distributed.

The announcement that the writ of habeas corpus was suspended was quickly followed by one requiring all persons not engaged in the military or police force to deliver all arms .or ammunition in tlieir possession to the marshal within 24 hours.

After conferring with Captain Murray at noon on Monday, Captain Ziegler and a conipauv of regulars were dispatched to his aid, taking with them an Austrian field piece. Then 10-pouud shells from this gun

Scattered the Natives

in every direction, but did not seem to hurt any of them. At 2 o'clock the trooos advanced and forced the rebels into the brtihli, Lieutenant Ludwig and 10 men being detailed for a flank movement. As soon as Ludwig got into position the natives were beaten ami scattered into the dense brush, followed by the troops. It is certain that many of them were wounded here, as blood, shreds of clothing, etc., were seen everywhere.

The only man wounded from the government side was Ludwig, who received a ilesli wound in tne thigh. Here the first prisoners were taicen, seven in number, and from them it was learned that the leaders of the rebels were Sain Novvlin, former colonel of the queen's household guard, and Robert Wilcox, who was the leader of the revolution in 1!S87, the other prominent ones being half whites, formerly in the service of the queen. 'J

After the First Surrender

tlio natives came dropping into the government camps in bunches until there were soon more prisoners than troops. The prisoners claimed they had 600 rifles, but only 500 men were arrested.

o'cIock

the government forces

camped for the night, pursuit being impossible in the dense brush. While this was going on the tug Lieu with a field piece and a detail of sharpshooters left Honolulu aud in a half hour was in a position to shell from the

rear the natives whose camp fronted Lieutenant King's command. A few well fired shots scattered them like sheep, one shot falling directly into the natives' camp. It is known that five men were killed and a large number wounded. The natives were pursued by Lieutenant Coyne's company as far as the nature of the ground allowed.

A Shot From His Field Piece'

scattered a crowd of them who appeared in the edge of the crator, and four dead bodies were the result. Thirty-six rifles, two 100-pound boxes of cartridges and two dynamite bombs were found in an improvised fort, also a lot of clothing, including a United States navy dresa coat. Squads of troops scoured the summit of Diamond Head, but no natives were found. Two cases of gin were found and brought to headquarters. After being examined by Dr. Cooper, the army surgeon, the stuff was pronounced poisoned and destroyed.

From statements of the natives captured during the day, it was ascertained that the captain of the little steamer Waimanalo was responsible for the landing of the arms with which the natives were supplied. The entire crew was arrested and the mate confessed. When confronted with this testimony the captain also

Acknowledged His Guilt.

The government claims to have evidence of tho whole transaction from the original purchase until their final disposition. During the day a large number of prominent Royalists were arrested, including the editor of The Holomua, which paper was suspended, the business manager being since arrested.

Up to 4 o'clock p. m. Tuesday, 34 of Honolulu's prominent royalists, not including natives, were under arrest. At midnight the remaining rebels were being pursued in every direction by small squads of police, the troops returning to the barracks during the night, their clothing torn and their dilapidated appearance showing the effects of their hard trip.

On tho Other Islands.

The'steamer Ke-Au-Hou, which was sent to the islands of Maui and Hawaii r-o ascertain the condition of affairs chore, has returned with the news that everything was quiet. The inhabitants knew nothing of the revolution aud were not evon informed of it by those on the steamer. But ouo trusted agent of the government, Hon. H. P. Baldwin, went ashore on either island.

A government spy who had been sent to the rebel camp returned on Tuesday at 10 p. in., stating he had succeeded in reaching the camp and gaining the confidence of the natives. There were about 150 under command of Wilcox, who claimed to have 1,000 men with plenty of arms, provisions, etc.. Sam Nowlin, with 75 more, was said to be within a short distance.

The rebel program was to march to Punch Bowl and capture the powder magazine there. The spy's story caused twro companies of volunteers to occupy Punch Bowl before midnight. One field piece was taken alone. At noon on Wednesday there was 163 prisoners in jail, about 100 being prisoners of war. linttlo in Manoa Valley.

During the aiternoou heavy firing was hoard front Manoa valley. At 4 o'clock a company of sharpshooters and another of the citizens' guard drovo the rebels from the ridge downwards, while the companies and battery from the Punch Bowl were in possession of the other side of the valley. The rebels were hemmed in with no possible escape except by hand-to-hand climbing for about 2,000 feet. The lowest estimate of the rebel force is 60, the highest 200. At S p. in. a courier brought word that one rebel had been killed, one mortally wounded and six captured, At midnight another rebel was killed, S3®! Is Wileiiiaiin Killeil?

Carl Widemann, son of Liliuokalaiii's latest envoy of the United States, has been missing since last Thursday and it is believed he will be among the killed. No casualties on the government, side.

Two prisoners from the seat of Avar were sent in yesterday. One is a half white carpenter named Poole, who says he left the Wilcox party the night before. When captured he had a Winchester and 100 rounds oi cartridges.

None of tho Wilcox party had anything to' eat since Monday except guavas and a bullock they had killed. Pool said Wilcox still had iO men. The rest of his party were either wounded, dead, deserted or taken prisoners. Another capture was Arthur i' itz-erald.

Straggling Prisoners

were brought in during the afternoon, and at this time it looks as though, with the exception of Wilcox and nis band of 30, the Wilcox contingent of rebels have been wiped out.

A cavalry company is being organized. The city is quiet, both banks and many of the stores having resumed business. A few arrests have been made in town on suspicion.

Jan. 11, 1 p. in.—The steamship Alameda arrived from the colonies at 6 a. m. No one is allowed to go on board on any pretense. She is to sail at

p. m. Nothing new from tho front to the present time. The ex-queen's premises are under police surveillance. Her Washington Place residence was raided on Monday and a quantity of anus confiscated. What action will be taken in her case can not be ascertained. I

JAMES HOLMES' MILLIONS.

Said to Re the Largest Undivided Estate in the World.

Springfield, O., Jan. 19.—Mayor Johnson of this city has began active work as attorney for the heirs, scattered all over the country, of the James Holmes estate, which is valued at about $400,000,000. This is largely in money in the Bank of England and of Dublin.

A big meeting of the heirs was held Wednesday at Decatur, Ills., resulting in Mayor Johnson's employment. The estate is tho largest undivided one in the world.

Holmes was a South Sea island trader and died in 1727. An effort was made 60 years ago by American heirs to obtain possession of the property, but it was abandoned on account of the death of the principals. Among the prominent heirs interested in the case are: Judge Alfred Ennis of Chicago, Mrs. A. W. Buford of New York city, .lames Nimrod, a millionaire of St. Louis Dr. Alexander Holes Shaw of Cincinnati Dr. .James Baldridge, cashier Commercial bank of Pittsburg John Baldridge, coal operator ol SpringHold, O., and Dr. T. ,1.

GROWING GRAVER,

The Situation Resulting From (lie Ilrooklyn Trolley Lilies Strike. Brooklyn, Jan. JU.—Tho strike situ

ation is becoming more grave hour by hour. The failure of the state board of mediation and arbitration to secure a settlement, the fact that the officials and employes ot' the trolley rwads have been unable to come to an agreement alter numerous attempts to reach satisfactory conclusions has not helped to allay public apprehension of empending labor troubles ol' the first magnitude. Mayor Scheiren's requisition for military adds to the feeling. The companies have offered all the concessions they are prepared to make, and the officers of tlio company and the poiieo authorities say I that today all the cars of the Atlantic avenue and the Brooklyn Heights railways will be in full operation regardless of consequences, and now they assert that they have thrust the responsibility for those consequences upon the shoulders of the municipality.
