In the meantime the legal reporter OF
the Examiner was dispatched to in
terview John D. Spreckels, whose knowl-
edge of Hawaiian laws and customs is
unbounded. Having been shown the
cablegram received from Honolulu, he
laughed heartily, and informed the re-
porter that the many friends and adj
1nirers of the three globe trotters need
have no uneasiness.
''The facts are simply these" ex-
planned Mr.. Spreckels: "Under the
quarantine laws of the Hawaiian Islands
every vessel coming from an infected
port must be quarantined for eighteen
days, and if at the expiration OF that
time no case of a contagious disease has
manifested itself, the vessel and passen-
gers are released. Ii, however, case
has developed itself in the meantime,
the quarantine is extended eighteen
days. The smallpox in this city has
aroused the fears of the Kanakas, and
quarantine has been ordered against all
vessels from San Francisco. Now these
three unfortunate capitalists and pleas
ure seekers were not allowed to roam
among the cOcOanut trees and engage i'll
a hula-hula, but have been obliged to
remain on board of the steamer or to be
transferred to the quarantine hospital,
which has been provided by the Govern
ho4 wi
sumes seven days, they will have to re-
main ii quarantine eleven days after
their arrival there, provided no case of
smallpox has developed during the pas
sage"
Late last night long and interesting
report was received from the "Exam-
iner's' special correspondent at Homo
lulu, but owing to the late hour at which
it came to hand, only brief sketch of
the tribulations of the quarantined
heroes can be given in this issue.
''They are doing as we'll as can be ex-
pected under the circumstances, wired
the correspondent. "No necessity ex-
lists for any relief expedition or war-like
measures, as they have had an inter-
view with Paul Neumann, who explained
to them fully the legal and political COM
plications which might arise from the
'Examiner's' noble efforts on their be-
half. The opinion of Mr.. Neumann was
brief, but to the point. You fellows
he said, have had plenty of fun at my
expense when | vas over there. Now we
have got you here and we are going to
keep you. What are you going to do
about it? Business is geschaeft, as Sam
uel Curtis says. Els mabht hicks aus

session.
The deposition was not accepted,
since 1r. Forman's fortune had
dwindled down to 'chickenfeed' in a pre-
yloas effort to beat four tens which his
friend Flynn held against his ace full on
.cks.
Mr.. Neumann withdrew, promising to
bring the King in as close proximity to
the quarantine grounds as possible in
order to grant the distinguished tourists
an interview. The following day King
Kalakaua, accompanied by his new
Cabinet and his personal staff, appeared
within two miles of the quarantine
grounds. The Hawaiian Band played
America a selection from "Mikado,"
''The Babies on Our Block, ;" "Oh, You
Little Darling" and "Home, Sweet
Home"
The three distinguished globe-trotters
appeared on the veranda of their cot
tage, Mr.. Coleman having on his right
Mr.. Flynn and on his left Mr. Forman.
Each was armed with a pair of large
field-glasses, and they Immediately
brought the focus down on the Royal
party. The gentlemen were all dressed
in full evening dress, each wearing the
decoration OF the Tammany Society.
"Alohan' shouted Mr.. Coleman as
soon as he beheld His Majesty.
"Aloha-Newey!" corrected Mr.. For
man (who has been yachting and speaks
Kanaka), at the top of his voice, and
making polite bow, which knocked his
ield-glasses out of focus.
'Mr. President, 1 feel extremely hon
ored-" commenced Mr.. Flynn, in the
same nonchalant manner in which he
addressed his fellow-warriors of the
Iroquis Club.
A poke in the ribs from Mr.. Coleman,
however, brought the speaker to the rec
ignition that he was addressing the
ruler of the Sandwich Islands, and with
a faint recollection of his companions
