TERRIBLE news reaches us

TERRIBLE news reaches us from
Sonora. The yellow fever which
has been at work for some time has
assumed a terribly fatal form and
is carrying off the people by the
wholesale. In Hernessillo not a
place of business remains open and
thousands of people are fleeing
north from the various towns and
cities in hope of e-caping the dread
scourage. The customs officers on
the border are doing all they can to
prevent those already t, ver-stricken
from coming into the Territory but
without doubt there will be hundreds
that cross the line by private routes
and will push on Forth into our
very midst, Our Territorial authori-
ties are exceedingly slow in getting
Quarantine cOrQOu 6Sta DllSneO Wnlie
The danger is al hand and imminent.
We may be ovelrun by ii before
anything is done.
Our town authorities cannot be
too particular in the course they
have laid out to clean up the town
and put it in a CONDITION to resist
disease. We are liable to yellow
fever; We shall most probably be
visited by cholera within the coming
year. No citizen who desires TO
live among US, who desires that our
business interests shall not be par>
allied by the scourgc of disease as
it was the case last year can object to
the most thorough action in this
matter on the port of the town

! shipwrecked Iaborers, the crew of the
| Julia, and himself from the place
where he was wrecked to Honolnln
| AS it happened the vessel chartered
was another of Mr.. Cookies vessels
the KdtuHa. The captain and the
men were brought here. Mr.. Cooke
took charge of the sixteen laborers,
handed them over to the planters
who were waiting for them, and
received from the latter 500 head
for the men. He also received from
an insurance company $50 per head
because the wrecked Jut5a could not
bring these laborers to their destina-
ton. He now. as owner of the
kaLat1ao, claims $17OO for the cost of
bringing his wrecked captain and
sixteen laborers from the scene of the
wreck to Honolulu. His claim may
be a perfectly legal one. On that
subject we have no opinion to offer.
We know well what most people
would think of it if it happened to be
brought against themselves. AT any
rate it is one that no Government
could be expected to recognize with
out grave consideration, and which
no Minister could pay without con-
sultatiOn with his colleagues. The
case is complicated by the fact that
the Assembly has made no appropria-
tion out of which such claim can be
legally paid.
The cases we have just exposed are
the sort on which the Opposition
Press from time to time feunds it's in
vectives against the Government, and
its Misrepresentation of their actions.
This is not the first time that the
Gazette and others have tried to get
up a financial scare in the hope of
'injuring the Ministry. They will find
it as fruitless now as they did before.
Things financial are not very bright
just now in the country with anyone,
but we may venture to say that
there is no firm or individual in
the Kingdom that has less reason for
about it's or his financial af-
fairs than the Government has. The
Opposition press may as we'll drop
this subject. They cannot turn the
Ministry out by lying about it, and
they may do. the country harm by
their cowardly tricks and shameful
inSinuations.
