Cr.ir Is Mmtally WoQDied and Dies In a FbW How. MARTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED. l,iko a thunder clap in a oloar sky, to tho Kunurnl inibllc, catno nu alarm of ruvoltitiuti Sunday ovoning. It wan a beautiful, still, moonlit night. People woro strolling about at 8 o'clock, nml tlui cars woro bringing homo aftoruoou caller from tho Miburbs anil interior of tho town. Services were being conducted in several places of worship. Suddoniy one telephone message after an other was recoived in Central Union church, and the men scurried out one after another. Captain W. V. Hall of the Commander-in-Chief's stair, left his place in the choir. Il was a decided surprio to tho community, as well m to tho greater portion of the Government's volun teer supporters, liven oillcors of tho regular forces, besides many mem bers of the volunteer companies, as well as of the citizens' guard, were found in church, on the street care, or stiolling about town, when tho call to arms was given. Within a very few minutes citizens armed with rilles, some with fixed bayonets, were hurrying to headquarters for details of duty. "Who goes thorot" with tho an swer, "A friend," was hoard at the iron gates in front of the Executive building, every fow momonts. Hacks, brakes and bicycles whirled from every direction to tho rallying point i A strong guard was placet! on the Judiciary building, the former chief Government building, before 8:110. The challenging of recruits arriving at the front entrance was continuous for some time. Kumors of the most variegated color were Hying about town regard ing tho cause of alarm. It was said that there had boon a tight with revolutionists, who were trying to laud arms at Knkaako where the as sembling of natives had been thwart ed on Thursday night. Another re port was that the scene of theemeuto was at Waikiki. Even those who were sent out on guard at points of vantage did uot know tho reason why. A G. A. It. man mot with his gun ou Palace square answered a Uulleti.n reportors query with: "I really don't know what the trouble is. All I know is that the whole town is under arms." At tho police station later it was found that the rumor was edrroot which said the row was at Waikiki. Captain Parker with a squad of police had invaded Henry F. Bortolniaun's residence, on the Kapiolaui Park beach, near Dia mond Head. Resistance had been olio rod and shots exchanged. Sometime later it was learned that Charles L. Carter and two of Purkor'a men were wounded. Tho informa tion was accompanied with a request for a doctor and a force of soldiers. In tho meantime the measures for protecting tho Government and tho city proceeded apaco. Strong guards were placed in tuo 1'oltco iatatiou, also in the Masonic Temple, Hotel and Alakea streets, the Mutual Tele phone Co.'s central station, and at tho most important approaches to the center of the town. Voluntoors woro supplied with arms and ammunition at li O. Hall & Sou's store. Further reports were of the capture of liertoliiiauti's houe and Kovou prisoners. Captain Parker and his men were engaging fugitives from the hoiirto in the woods, the sound of desultory firing biiig heard. Then there was an aluence of news from the front, and a search party win sent to flud Parker and his men. Their efforts wore in vain, and until late in tho night grave fears were felt for the pariy's safety. In tho meantime half of Co. 1C, regular., under Lieutenant G. W. It. King went out to JJorteltnauii's. liortolmann and his servant had only two praor books in then possession when brought to tho station. LAST NIGHT'S BAT IL E. How Clmrlob L. Carter Foil llravo Conduct of I'olico. Tho following account of the upon ing skirmish of the insurrection is gained by a Hulli:tin reporter from Captain Parker. It only accounts for one of the three wounds that the Burgeons found on Carter: At fi o'clock yesterday afternoon a telephone message reached Senior Captain Parker to hasten to the Marshal's ollicc, as there was import aut business for him to do. On reaching the station Marshal Hitch cock handed him a boaroh warrant for Henry F. Uertoltnann's promises at Waikiki. The captain took lieu tenant Holi and five other oillcors ami wont out. Deputy Marshal Brown was already at tho gate of tho promises. Brown requested Parker not to go in thou, but wait until ho returned, When Drown re turned tho party started to go in. Dertolmanu was standing on the veranda. The place was pretty dark at tho time. Suddenly Bortelinauu rnisod a Winchester carbiuo ho hold in his hand and firod two shots. One bullet struck lieutenant Holi and ho sank to tho ground crying out, "Auwol" Tho officers retreated to Sans Souci, when Captain I'arkor tele phoned to Marshal Hitchcock ask ing for more men. Shortly afterward .las. B. Castlo, Charles L. Carter, A. L. C. Atkinson and a number of others arrived, and tho party returned to Bertclmaun's house. Tho house had been dark ened in the front. When tho men entered Bertelmann was found sit ling iu the parlor. Staudiug against tho wall near him wai tho Winches ter carbine. Tho deputy marshal stated to Bertelmann that ho held a warrant to search his promises. Bor tolniann requested tho deputy mar shal to read tho warrant. While this was being done a whistle was heard outside aud Captain Parkor looking out saw two natives with rifles run uinif alnnu the beach near tho Bock- loy promises on the Waikiki side. Immediately after tho captain count ed twenty natives running toward the house fioin tho samo direc tion. Parkor aud C.L. Carter ran out through the dining room into tho yard. When they woro about twenty yards from tho two foremost men, two shots rang out. One bul let whizzed by Parker and tho other struck Carter. Carter cak to the ground aud cried out. "II 'bet. I'm shot." Be fore tho men could work thoir runs to reload, Parker va upon thorn aud hold them, calling out at the (-nine time to officer Luahtwa to come to his assistance. Tho twenty natives woro firing at the door through which Parkor and Carter catno out. Tho two prison ers, one of whom was Jim Lane, woro placed iu front of tho oillcors as a shield, aud tho officers ran to tho house. JNono oi tuo bullets tut the men. The two prisoners and Bertelmann wore placed on tho floor aud Lua hiwa guarded thorn with two drawn revolvers. He was ordered, should the men make any attempt to get away, to shoot thorn dead. A native named Patau, who was among tho natives outside, gave an order to surround tho house. Deputy Marshal Browu woutout aud brought Carter into tho house and placed him on a bed. The officers were hemmed iu aud answered the shots of tho natives at intervals. The shooting was wild. While Captain Parkor was stand ing sideways near the door a bullet whizzed pat aud lodged in the door, passing him by buta fow inches. After waiting sumo time Parkor and two officers, who still remained with him, made a rush for tho gate. They were shot at repeatedly out fortun ately they woro uot hit. They climbed on a ridge on tho side of Diamond Head Just as the men reached tho too six shots wore fired at them. For awhile tho shooting ceased and Parker decided to come down aud see how Holi was getting along, although ho believed at first ho was dead. He had not gone far when another volly rattled around him, so ho decided to go back. They pressed through tho brush, renting at intervals, and finally reached town at 5 o'clock this morning completely fagged out. Captain Parker despatched ten police officers to tho scone of action and retired to rest with his men. Fifteen officers will relievo thorn this afternoon. Tho entire regular force will guard tho Station House to-night. THE WAR CONTINUES Rubols Hogain Positions Lieut.

At 5:30 Bortelmann's was vigor ously assaulted by fiftoou natives, and tho garrison was compelled to yield possession. Captain Coyne's command, which it stems was guarding the po sition on the outside, was hotly as saulted by native riflomen from tho bush. Lieut.

Forms of men could bo dis J tiuctly seen from this position and 1 tho occasional white puffs of smoke I showed that tho revolutionists were yet supplied with ammunition but their shots failed of effect. At 10:45 H. J. Ilhoads, acting as gunner, fired the first shot from the cannon; the result was watched with much inter est, but the aim was too high and the shell burst over aud beyond the Head. A second shot was more ac curately aimed, tho shell bursting closo to tho top, a result which won tho cheers of the gunner's comrades. A third shot was effective iu loca tion, and after the explosion of tho sholi, sevoral forms could bo seen leaving tho lofty point and hasten ing down tho steep ridges to sea ward. By order of Captain Coyne, the position of the gun was changed and sevoral shots wore fired there from, but with loss approved results.
