Honolulu, October Dist, 1898.
His Excellency SANFORD i. DOLE,
minister of foreign affairs.
SIR: We herewith beg to hand to
your excellency a copy of a commune
cation received by us from the o. & o.
$. ;. Go. in connection wi IN the 7. G.
5. 5. Co, relating to Chinese passen-
gers refused landing at this port by
reason of having fraudulent passports.
Lately ii has occurred that always
one or two Chinese were refused to
land here, which men had to be car
ried on TO San Francisco; but you will
see by the enclosed letter that in case
of any contagious disease having Oc-
Cured during the passage on board of
such steamer these passengers would
bring the companies in great embar-
rassrent, which might result in the
laying up of steamer for month or
longer, on account of quarantine.
For this reason we beg to request
your eXcellency to give this matter
your kind consideration, and we hope
that exceptions will be made in cases
of any contagious disease being on
board and all the passengers for this
port be allowed TO land here.
We are your eXcellency's most
obedient servants,
II. HACKFELD x Co.,
