Board of Health Notice.

The Board of Health having received in.
formation of many cases Of Smallpox being
introduced into the Port Of San Francisco. and
the disease, although subject TO close restriction
might possibly get beyond the Quarantine
limits therefore, the Board deemed il their
duty to enioin upon the Port Physician Of Homo
lulu to exercise the utmost vigilance in respect to
all vessels coming from the Port Of San Francisco:
as it has occurred, as in the case Of the Austria
liza, " that d vessel from that Port having reported
a clean bill Of health, had, however. cases Of
of smallpox on board. However, the Board
having further assurances that the eases Of small
pox that have entered the Port Of San Francisco
have been confined strictly within Quarantine
limits, make known the following order
The Port Physician will so ia company with
the Pilot to board any steamer arriving from the
Port of San Francisco, and mako a medical exam
inatiou Of passengers and crew, and should there
he no evidence of contagious disease, passengers
may land without being subject to further Quaran-
tine surveillance"
Sailing vessels will be subject to the usual regu-
lation, and having reported 70 the Pilot a clean
bill of health will not be boarded by the Port
