The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1895-08-23

Consul General Mills went out to
the steamer, which was lying out
side at anchor. A confe. ence was
had with Captain Carey. He told
the visitors that after looking over
the regulations he had found that
it would be impossible for him to
take a mail even though it was
fumigated. He felt that it would
be detrimental to both ship and
passengers. Before allowing his
visitors to leave Captain Carey ex-
pressed his regret, adding that he
had made thorough inspection OF
the regulations and was satisfied
he was acting for the welfare Of all.
Everyone about town was ter
ribly disappointed upon tearing
that mail was refused. That it
would be taken had been announced
by Capt. Carey, but this was before
he read up. The mail for the Mon
oval had been thoroughly FUN
igated.
TRAVELLERS.
A lady tourist in an uptown store
this morning was particularly
wrathy when she heard that no
passengers would be taken. "My
husbands business just requires
his presence in San Francisco" she
said, stamping her dainty feet,
land we only made up our minds
to stay in Honolulu till this steam
er. About twenty people at the
Hotel are all keen to get away on
this steamer" 1t was truly dis
appointed crowd that gathered
about the Hotel verandas when the
intelligence arrived that no one
could depart from here.
NOTES.
Forty-three bushel baskets of
trash" were taken from one
Chinese restaurant on Nuuanu
avenue today.
The police, under the direction
of Marshal Brown and Senior Cap
fain Parker are doing excellent
service.
Postmaster General Dat, Consul
Mills and Mr. Giffard tried their
best to get the mail off on the
Monowai.
Consul Mills dictated brief dis
patch which was taken on the boat.
1t was to the State Department.
The Police station is being used
as a dispensary. There carbolic
acid, lime and other disinfectants
are handed out to those who are
going about disinfecting premises.
Captain Parker is dispenser.
The gang who are engaged dis
injecting Chinatown say they have
hard time. The wagon had to
call for additional disinfectants
every few hours.
Van Giesen and assistants were
engaged along Merchant street this
forenoon.
The w. G. Hall did not take any
passengers. The mail was fumi-
gated.
1t is more than likely that the
old fishmarket will be abandoned
and the new one occupied within a
fortnight.
II is moved, seconded and carried
that the town be cleaned once in
five years hereafter whether il
needs it or not.
The period of cholera incubation
is three to six days. If there are
no more cases by say next Monday
or Tuesday, the visitation will be
declared at an end.

said, returned by the S. S. Mono
wal today, intending to stay here.
He was taken right on to San
Francisco.
Captain Carey is the pioneer o.
modern steamers masters in refus
ing to take mail from an infected
port. It is being sent from Yoke
hama and was sent from Hamburg
to London every day in 1893.
A little before noon a pake rush
ed into the Police Station and re
ported that a native woman ha(
