THE CONSPIRACY CASES. THE MOTION TO DISMISS IS OVERRULED. And the Court Proceeds With the Talc. InR of Testimony on Behalf of the Defendants. At the opening of the Court this morning the decision of Judge Carter in the conspiracy cases was put off for an hour to allow of the dispatch of some minor cases. At eleven o'clock, in the presence of a crowded court room, Judge Carter railed the case of the Provisional Government vs. Walker, Sinclair and Crick, and read the follow ing decision on the defendants' motion to dismiss : The Court regrets very much that the limited time at its disposal for coming to a conclusion upon this motion has prevented a more thorough and careful analysis of the evidence offered on behall of the prosecution as the Court would liked to have made, and the conclusion reached must not be taken as indicatirg in any way a conclusion which might be reached upon a full examination of the testi- . mony taken. It must be remembered that the motion is simply preliminary, and that, as is ordinarily the case with a motion of that kind, it dots not carry the weight of one made at another stage of the proceedings. I have hastily written down some of the points I have gathered together, which 1 will read. Defendants are charged with con spiracy. Conspiracy is defined by our penal code to be a "malicious combina tion or mutual understanding or con certing together of two or more to commit, etc." A conspiracy, therefore, consists, not merely in intention, but in agreement, by two or more persons There must be a previous concert to do the unlawful act. 1 heir agreement is an act in advancement of the intent of each. I he agreement may be ex press or implied, and it is not essential that any but the leading conspirators know the exact part each is to perform. The least degree of consent or collusion is sufficient, and this joint assent of minds, like all other parts of a criminal case, may be established as an inference oi the iurv. it is suthcicnt n two ir more in any manner, through any con trivance, positively or tacitly, c line t' an understanding. Base c mbination with joint design is sufficient. The common design or object of the defendants is clearly disclosed by the testimony to have been the over throw of the 'Provisional Government It is not necessary to constitute a eon spiracy that the means should be pre determined. The question here is whether there wjs any collusion. The evidence so far clearly indicates that there was between the defendants Walker and Sinclair. Hut is there prima facie evidence that Crick was one of these. It is very slight and the Court is called upon to consider whether it is sufficient to, put him upon his defense. The only manner in which I can reach a conclusion is by reversing the proposition in this form : Is there probable cause to believe, on the evi dence offered by the prosecution in support of the charge that a jury would accept the hypothesis that Walker and Sinclair, on the one hand, and Crick, on the other, were both designing the overthrow of the Govern ment entirely independent. The de clarations of Walker and Crick indicate collusion as to explosives to be used, the two were seen together visiting the person to whom the declarations had been made, and on other occasions. Crick roomed in Sinclair's house, and these, with other like malters, though very slenderly, connect Crick with the others charged sufficiently to make it impossible for me to believe that his design was independent of that of the others. The motion for discharge is there fore overruled, and the accused may proceed with their defense. The first witness for the defense was John Phillips, who testified that Mar mont's veracity was not good, especially with the people he lived with, and that he had a bad reputation generally. A. M. JJrown testihea that he was deputy marshal and as such had searched the premises of Cummins and Walker on the day of the arrests, and had' once searched the Central House, but had found no explosives. John Cummins testified that he was related to Walker, and that all ot Mar mont's testimony in relation to drilling men at his house was untrue. He had given Colonel Soper a list of the arms in his possession some time since. Major Seward, Cummins private secretary, corroborated all that he had sworn to, but went into details about the stables, yard, etc., at the residence, Colonel J. H. Soper was the next witness called. He was examined as to lists of arms in his possession, and was finally asked if he thought it was probable any one on the Islands could have 1000 stand of arms in his posses sion unknown to the G vernment, to which he replied that it was not. The Court then adjourned to 1 145 p. m. Tug-of-War on the Fourth. The native employees of the Hono lulu Iron Works have organized a tug-of-war team which has been pr. dicing every evening for three weeks past They lately issued a challenge to the champion fish-market team to pull them for $50 on the morning of the Fourth.. The challenge was promptly accented and the pull will come off early in the morning. In addition to this the natives employed in the Iron Works have also raised an additional $co with which they propose to have a urand luau on the slopes of Punch bowl as soon as the tuc-of-war is over. and to which their opponents will be DR.

Sydnkv, June 12, 1893. His Excelllncv, I Tin: Minister of Foreign' Affair Honolulu. Sir: On the 10th o( July, 1889, I wrote to the late Secretary of your de partment respecting Dr. K. W. Hutch inson, formerly of Honolulu, for whom enquiry was made by fiis friends. I now enclose a newspaper clipping an nouncing the death, on the 20th ultimo, of the gentleman in question, the where abouts of whose friends by whom en quiry was made can, no doubt, be traced by Your Excellency's depart ment. As I was first referred to in this matter by the Hawaiian Consul at lirisbane I have informed that gentle man of the purport of this communica tion. Your Excellency will observe, no doubl with satisfaction, a commence ment by Messrs Huddart, Parker & Co., of a steamship service between Australia and Vancouver's Island, call ing at Honolulu. Subsidies to this new service have been already promised by this Colony with 10,000, and Canada of 25,000 per annum. The future of this new venture is a subject of great 'interest to the Australian Colonies. I take the liberty of informing your Excellency that His Majesty the King of Portugal has been pleased to raise me to the position of his Consul-Gen-cral here, where I have filled the office of Portuguese Consul for twenty-five years. I have the honor to be your Excel lency's most obedient humble servant, Ernest O. Smith, Hawaiian Consul-General.

The Bureau of Agriculture have ordered from Sydney a variety of fruit trees for the Government nurseries, consisting of the fig, almond, orange (20), lemon, citron, olive and Japanese persimmon. . From California varieties of euca lyptus, acacia, magnolia and an assort ment of evergreens, all hitherto un known here; also, 100 "pounds of fine peach seeds, the trees Irom which are intended to form stock tin which to graft all the best varieties, and an assortment of the best fig, almond and peach trees. All of these will be set out in the rich valley below Tantjlus, the design being to form a nursery, there from which the Islands may be supplied with the choicest fruit trees of all descriptions at any time free of charge Funeral of the Murdered Sheriff. The remains of Louis Stolz, the murdered Sheriff, were escorted to their last resting place in the Nuuanu ceme tery yesterday at 4 1 m. from the resi dence of his wife's sister, Mrs. Reimen- schneider. A detachment of police preceded the funeral cortege and arge number of friends were present to aid in rendering the last sad rites to to the murdered dead. Death Rate Increasing. During the week ending June 29th twenty deaths were reported at the office of the Board of Health, which is over the average. Of these, fifteen were Hawaiians, three Portuguese and one American. The increase is pre suined to be due from the ravages of of the grippe among the natives. PERSONAL. M. Hyman of Hyman Bros, is in the city. V. V. Ashford is off for Maui this this afternoon. Dr. R.

Kalalau Lepers to be Cleaned Out The "Bulletin's" Charges Refuted by Positive Evidence. The murder of Deputy Sheriff Louis F. Stolz was almost 'he sole topic of conversation on the stteets yesterday, and much .surmise was txpressed as to what action the Government would take in the matter. This was allayed to a great extent by a rumor which leaked out soon after the meeting of the Executive and Advisory Councils that the Government would take prompt action in the matter and send n expedition to Kauai for the purpose of cleaning nut the leper settlement at Kalalau and capturing the murderer at any tost. l'he expedition, which starts for that purpose on the Waialeale at 3 r. M. to day, will consist of a force of about thirty well-armed men under the com mand of Captain William Larscn. Some of ihcm arc volunteers from the barracks, the rest citizens and police. Dr. Cooper and Health officer Rcy- nolds will go in their several capacities. a small Krupp howitzer will be taken besides plenty of arms, ammunition nd provisions. The steamer will so direct to I Ianalci, thence 10 the Kalalau beach, where the expedition will be landed. It is understood that Captain Larsen is vested with supreme authority and has orders to bring the cpers out of the valley dead or alive. At noon to-day President Dile issued an order proclaiming martial law in the districts of Hanalciand Waimea. With regard to the outrageous charg-s made against the Board of Health in last night's issue of the Bul letin, the following official correspon dence is commended to that unsavory sheet and its few readers : Letter No. 1. Waimea, Nov. 18, 1892. David Dayton, Esq., Pres. Hoard of Health, Honolulu. Dear Sir: A leper belonging to this district (Waimea) after having been examined by Dr. Campbell and having been notified that he would have to go to Molokai asked for and received permission to stay a week n order to settle up bis affairs. fhis request, as has been our prac- ice here, was granted upon his prom ising to be ready and willing to go upon return of the steamer Pele. He has broken his promise and gone over to Kalalau where so many other lepers are. As this is the first per son who has escaped from this dis trict since I have been deputy sheriff here, I am anxious to bring him back and have requested Dr. Camp bell to get out a warrant for him, which he will do. Unless I receive positive orders to the contrary it is my intention to proceed shortly to Kalalau and endeavor to arrest the person in question, who is a man named Koolau. t think it quite prob able that unless I happen upon him unawares resistance will be shown, as almost everv man in Kalalau is armed, and much as I should regret and endeavor to avoid it, some body (it may be myself or a con stable) may be hurt or killed. As the matter may assume proportions of an alarming kind, I would be pleased to receive any orders or ad vice which the Board of Health may deem proper in the matter, especial Iy as the Board has, tacitly at least, tolerated the lepers in Kalalau and not ordered their removal, the man being therefore justified to a certain extent in going there. Awaiting an answer, I remain, Yours etc, L. H. Stolz. Letter No. 2. Waimea, Kauai, April 29, 1893 Hon. W. O. Smith, Pres. Board of Health, Honolulu. Dear Sir: Allow me to respectful ly call your attention to the fact that if it be the policy of the Board of Health to remove, during the present year, the lepers now residing at Ka lalau, it would seem necessary that steps in the matter be taken shortly as the months during which a steam er can effect a landing at Kalalau are at hand. If a system of segregation is to be carried out, undoubtedly these people and those at presenton Niihau should be removed to Molokai. I cannot be otherwise than that healthy persons will, and are at the present time becoming mtected with leprosy in consequence of existing conditions. It is my opinion based on a knowledge of the facts that the amount of intimacy has been under rated, and the difhculties of commu mention overrated. I remain, respectfully, L. H. Stolz, Ag't Bd. of Health, Waimea, K Correct Copy. Office of the Board of Health Honolulu, May 8, 1893. L. H. Stolz, Agl. Bd. of Health, Waimea, Kauai. Sir; I am instructed by the Board of Health to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of April 29, informing us of your views on the continued and illegal presence of lepers on Nii huu and Kalalau, Kauai. The Board fully understands the gravity of the matter, and knows that an attempt to remove the lepers from Kalalau simply means reducing the place by force of arms, probably men will be killed on both sides SO, J owever,' before taking further stuns M the matter, the Board desiros you to send to this office n full report of the number, age, and sex of nil the lepers at Kalalau, also, if possible, a like list of nil the other people resid- ng in the valley of Kalalau. It would also, perhaps, be interesting to the government to known the quan tity nnd kind of fire-arms in their pos session. With regard to lepers on Niihau ou will please have them sent to lonolulu for examination first op portunity. t have the honor to he your ohedi- nt servant, Signed Chas. Wii.cox, Sec y Board oi Health. Letter No. 3. J Waimha, May 19, 1893. Board of Health, Honolulu. Dear SiVs: I would respectfully represent, and strongly urge, that be fore any forcible stops ate taken in regard to the removal of lepers from Kalalau (should the lioRrd decide to remove them), that 1st. A stringent quarantine he placed, in the valley of Kalalau, allow ing no communication whatever either for the non-lepers or lepers, between Kalalau and other places. Boats are engaged in taking taro and paiai to Niihau and other places and presumably taking visitors back and forth. Should this course of income nd communication be cut off and the well people told plainly that quaran tine would not be removed until the ick people were gone; I am sure that it would have a most salutary influence on the non-lepers and cause them to work and assist in the remov 1 of the lepers. To accomplish and carry into eltect such a quarantine, three stations would in my mind be necessary. One on the Ilutmlei trail of two white men and four natives, one on the Waimea trail of like get p and strength; and one on the beach at Kalalau to .prevent boats or canoes from leaving or landing. 2nd. As soon as the Board de cides on the removal of said lepers a good man should be sent in to Kala lau to urge and persuade them to give in peaceably. Something might be accomplished. Mr. P. Gay goes up to-day to Ho- olulu and his views on the subject are worth hearing. My only object n giving my two views to the Board is that time is flying. I am respecttuliy. L. H. Stolz, Agent Board of Health. Letter No. 4. Waimea, May 23, 1893. Hon. W. O. Smith. Pres. Board of Health, Honolulu. Sir: In accordance with your request, I send herewith a complete list of the residents of the valley of Kalalau, Kauai. There are twenty- three households in the valley, four of which, however, consist of only one old man each. In nine households no leprosy is isible to a casual observer. In three households all the inmates are nmicted with leprosy, while in leven households the inmates are part lepers and part non-lepers. The population number 102; of whom 71 are apparently non-lepers and 28 are lepers. Of the lepers 18 are male, 10 are female, 18 are adults, 10 are minors. Only C rifles could be heard of. Of these only three are available and one of these belongs to a non-leper. I refer you to the list for more particular infor mation. The lepers do not wish to be taken away, as they believe the, new Japanese doctor at Kilauea may be able to cure some of them. J. Kauai and Paoa are the two lepers most likely to give trouble. It is my belief that if these two and perhaps one or two others were removed that most of the rest would go volunta rily. I also believe that these leaders could be taken with a small force. Two or three men like Sam Ku with what material we have here, would do. To obtain the enclosed list, it was necessary for me to hire canoe from Mana to Kalalau and return at an expense ot ten dollars. I will send voucher for same as soon as signed. I remain, respectfully, L. H. Stolz, Agent Board of Health. Letter N. 5. Department of the Attorney, General. Copy. Honolulu, H. I., May 31, 1893 L. H. Stolz, Esq., Deputy Sheriff and Agent Board of Health, Waimea, Kauai. Dear Sir: The Board of Health have carefully considered your full report in regard to lepers at Kalalau, as also your suggestions as to best method to be pursued to remove them.. The plan of laying siege, and pre venting communication with the valley meets with the objection that the well people there might have legal remedies against us if we thus restrained them of their liberty. the Board desires to have them removed, and the plan you suggest may have to be resorted to, but be fore doing that, the Board desires that you go to Kalalau and interview J. Kauai and other lepers, and people there, and see if any other plan will answer. Your expenses will, of course, be paid by the Board. Use your own good judgment in .regard to what to say to them. If some, or all of them, can be persuaded to come away we can arrange to send a steamer there at an appointed time to bring them to Honolulu lor examination. And those who have to be sent to Molo kai, will be well cared for and hav their wants supplied, Respectfully Yours, William O. Smith, Attorney-General. WAIM6A, Juno 8th, 1803, Hon. W. O. Smith, Attorney General. Dear Sir: In accordance with the instructions contained in your letter of the 31st ult. , I went to Kalalau nnd personally interviewed most of the lepers. I find out of the 28 teported cases, 0 cases which I would not on my own responsibility under take to remove, some of them I am sure being non-lepers, and in the others the disease, if it exists at all, not being far enough advanced for a non-medico to order their removal. As far as their going peaceably is concerned my trip was only a partial success. The majority indeed, among whom is J. Kauai, desire to go, and will make no trouble, but about four or five of the young, strong fellows, say they will not go, while as many more were non-committal. Should the obstinate ones be re moved, the non-committal ones will undoubtedly go of their own accord. The well people are some of them in favor of having the lepers removed, while others are against it, and others again, indifferent. The amount and kind of intimacey existing between lepers and non-lepers at Kalalau is simply abominable. I believe that first and last there will he fifty cases of leprosy in consequence of the lepers having been allowed to remain at Kalalau during the last five years, that would not otliet wise have existed. I came to an agreement with the people who were willing to go that f:iey were to be ready during the 1st week in July. J. Kauai willing o return to Waimea to settle up his anairs 1 allowed him to--do so, as well as some other Waimea people. think the results of my trip are all that could under the circumstances, be reasonably expected. 1 am respectfully. L. II. Stolz, Deputy Sheriff. After all the fcbove correspondence Mr Stolz came to Honolulu about two weeks ago and interviewed the members of the Hoard of Health, and t his own expressed wish and with the nderstandmg that he could accomplish the removals without bloodshed, he as allowed to have his way. 'LOTSAJI AND JETSAM. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF THE ALAMEDA Four Sailinc Vessels Go Out This Afternoon The Historic Hart- , ford in Commission. Vallkjo, June 18. The historic old warship Hartford, now moored in Rotten Row at Mare Island, where fur many years she has been the plaything of the tide, is about to be taken from the Row and put in commission, in ac cordance with Congressional legislation. By a recent act of Congress the Hart ford and Keursarge are to be kept on the active list of the warships of the American Navy, regardless of all ex pense. This old vessel does not come under the ten percent repair law, which prohibits the repair of any ship of war where the aggregate cost of repiirs hall exceed ten per cent of the original cost. Iieforc the Hartford is placed in commission she will be stripped of her old-style batteries and fittings, her engines repaired and new boilers put in. The old batt'-ry will be replaced by a bittery of modern high-power guns, it being the intention of the Navy Department to equip her with six-inch rifles fur the main battery, supported by a battery of four-inch rapid-fire rifles. The ship will be totally dis mantled and the sail-carrying capacity reduced to a rig similar to that of the cruiser Chicago. This change will make the Hartf rd bark-rigged with no yards above the topgallant yards 1 he board ol survey lias surveyed the Hartford and estimates and figures have been given for the repairing and refitting of her throughout, including the addition of an electric plart and many otlr r modem improvements 1 hese estimates are now in the hands I the heads nl the various naval bureaus at Washington, where they are being revised preparatory to submitting them to Congress, which will be asked to make the necessary appropriation I he Hartford is in a bad state of de cay in many places, which will necessi tate the removing ol many of her tunb crs. 10 do tms it win te necessary to put her on the dock. I he recetmimssioning of the HarU ford is due directly to the efforts of the old naval t fiicers who fought with her in various battles, and who deemed it uniust to let the vessel rot away in igiiominnus idleness while the Kear s-jge is doing active duty on the home station.

The absurd rumors going about to day concerning an insurrection on Lahaina or on Maui (most people did not seem to know which), when inves tigated and boiled down, simply amount to this : For some time past there has been trouble in the native church at Lahaina over the pastor. The congregation is divided into two factions, one of which is in favor of keeping the pastor and the other of ousting him. The trouble has recently culminated in one faction barring up the doors of the church, while the other threatens to break them down whenever they feel like it. This state of affairs has been going on for three weeks, and complaint having been made to Marshal Hitchcock of the state of affairs he has detailed Captain Parker and Policemen John Ihomas and William Needham to go over to Lahaina on this afternoon's steamer and settle the matter amicably if pos sible; if not to arrest the parties who are causing the trouble. Captain Parker is allowed full discretion in the matter. And thus another Royalist rumor falls flat. THE EXPEDITION LEAVES. Departure of the Men Who Are to Purify Kalalau Valley. Shortly before 3 i. M., the men com prising the expedition to go to Ka lalau and arrest the murderer of Louis Stolz, left the Police Station and march ed to the steamer Waialeale. There were 25 enlisted men of the govern ment troops under command of Lieut. King, 9 white volunteers, 2 native volunteers (Prince Kunuiakea and at tendant), besides Dr. Cooper, Health Officer Reynolds and Luther Wilcox, cf the Supreme-Court-Clerk's office, who goes as official interpreter.
