AS soon as it was publicly announced
that death had occurred at the quaran-
| tine station people became alarmed
| and declared that Asiatic cholera had
broken out among the Chinese immi-
! grants.
1t is not unusual for forms of bowel
complaint to break out among the
steerage passengers during quarantine
| owing to the change in diet and the
propensity to fill up on fruits and food
sent in by friends from the city, but
| the health authorities made careful
| investigation in this case and reported
| that there was absolutely nothing. to
indicate that the sickness was due to
cholera or any disease of contagious
nature. a careful diagnosis was made
| of each case by physicians, and not a
single symptom of cholera was dis
covered. In the meantime two others
were attacked with dysentery, and it
was decided to extend the term of
quarantine till all signs of sickness
had disappeared.
w. o. Smith, President of the Board
of Health, made a statement, which
was published it allayed the fears of
the people here to some extent, but,
on the morning of the goth, another
alarm was sounded.
A special meeting of the Board of
Health was held to consider meas ures
to be taken in consequence of the
death of native woman. The doctor
who attended the case stated that the
woman died on the 18th, after suffer
ing about ten hours, with an illness
very similar to Asiatic cholera An
other native was taken down with the
same symptoms and died later.
The Board of Health held another
meeting on the 2Ist to confer with the
local physicians. After a general dis
cussiOn, the medical men would not
give a decided answer regarding the
disease awaiting the result of a series
of psychological experiments. They
were inclined to believe that the dis
ease was form of sporadic cholera
mOrbus rather than Asiatic cholera.
Another meeting was held on the
22nd and four of the most prominent
physicians pronounced the disease
Asiatic cholera. 1t was decided to
inaugurate a system of house to house
disinfection and other precautionary
measures were adopted to insure, if
possible, the security of the commun-
ity.
The doctor of the Belgic is blamed
by people, many of whom claim that
he made false report to Port Physi-
clan Day. When the vessel arrived
here he reported that three Chinese
had died on the way over. He claimed
that heart disease carried off two and
pneumonia was responsible for the
death of the third. Fellow steerage
passengers now here say that the
symptoms were quite similar to the
cases that ended fatally at the quar-
antine station.
No cases developed among the Chi
nese at the quarantine station after
August 10Th, and the immigrants
have since been released.
Up to the departure of the Monowai,
on August 23d, five cases of cholera
developed at Iwilei, ROnOlulu; four
deaths. On the evening OF the 24th
another case was reported. For
five days there were no cases reported
and the people breathed freer, believ-
ing that the disease had been stamped

Mr.. Smith read some special rules
which he had prepared to be pub
lished in Hawaiian for the instruction
of natives.
The matter of travelling back and
forth between Honolulu and the other
districts of Oahu was brought up; also
the freight and articles to be permit
ted.

districts of Oahu on the same footing

Regulations to stop public gather

SITUATION SUMMED UP.
The cholera, according to the general
theory, was brought to Honolulu by
the steamer Belgic, which arrived
here on the 9th of August with 53S
Chinese immigrants on board. The
vessel had clean bill of health, but,
following the custom, the Chinese
were placed in quarantine. On the
18th August it was learned that three
of the immigrants died-two of bowel
complaint and the other from eXhaus-
ton. The third man was an aged
opium fiend, and it is claimed that if
he had been supplied with his regular

Any one having any of these symp-

If the disease is treated when it

If not attended to at once, there is
little chance of recovery.
AT the cholera hospital, the patients
can have any licensed physicians they
may wish.
The doctors say, that if every per
son in Honolulu would from this time
eat nothing, but food which has been
thoroughly cooked, and water which
has been thoroughly boiled, and every
one would keep his bands clean, after
a few days, there would not be an
other case of cholera.

STRAY BITS.
The Leilani Boat Club considers
itself in hard luck. The crews re-
turned to the city yesterday morning,
expecting to return in the evening.
AS it was, they were refused permis-
sion to go to their training quarters
until further notice. Their boat was
left out in the water and they are
troubled about what might happen
to it.
a prison luna was taken i'll yester-
day morning while looking after a
number of prisoners who were work
ing on the Esplanade. He was taken
home and, after an examination, the
attending physician pronounced bill
iOusness, and not cholera, the COM
ptaint.
1t was learned yesterday that the
native who was reported dead near
Oahu Jail a day or so ago had, on the
pre- vious day, been diving for coal
near the place where the Bennington
was anchored. He went home, ate
hearty dinner and died shortly after.
About noon yesterday a report was
turned in at the police station that
natives were carrying on wholesale
fishing operations at Waikiki. Police
were sent out and the natives warned
to stop all such proceedings.
Persons on duty at the Board of
Health office yesterday were kept
busy answering questions regarding
freight and passes to country dis
tricts. Many had pitiful tales of hard
ships to detail.
a military guard has been placed
at Makiki reservoir to keep persons
from contaminating the water in any
way whatever. a squad of ten regu-
lars are in camp at Makiki.

"fhe Democracy Of Nebraska, In
convention assembled, congratulate
the country upon the sure signs of re-
turning prosperity. In spite Of the
evil predictions alike of protectiOnists
and silver infiationists. the country Is
steadily and surely gaining ground,
thus justifying the wisdom OF the re-
vers;ll OF the Republican policies of
protective tariff, taxes and coinage of
redundant quantity of token dollars.
The fact that the wheels of industry,

these policies by IL long ard depressing
panic, have resumed their wontrd mo-
tiOn and that more than 3OuUW Ia
borcrs are receiving the large increase
in wages of II per cent, proves this
assertion.
I'VE send hearty greeting and con-
gratulatiOns to Grover Cleveland and
his cabinet. not only for their wise and
prudent course, which has aided ST,
much in bringing about the better
financial condition. but also for thci.'
firm and fearless adherence through
out the depression TO sound policies -

ity in uphol'ling and protecting iii,
honor and integrity OF the nation
against organized mob violence.
I'VE endorse tie national DeNcciat-
fc platform Of 1882 and the interrrnta
ton placed thereon by the president.
and we declare ourselves unuluiv-
oc;llly and unreservedly for that mo-
tallic money as tho standard mintagc
the bullion and mint value Of which
are approximately the same; the l,,lr
chasing power of which. regardless OF
