| Detective KAPPA reported another
case OF cholera al 6.lo O'Clock this
morning. II was In an old shanty
on the edge Of The Nuuanu stream.
at the end OF Hotel street
The patient was a native woman
who gave the age Of sixty-fve
years, named Palma. She was
found on a floor only few inches
from the water from the stream.
The woman had been vomiting on
the floor.
Underneath the floor the place
was teeming with crabs. The
woman's sleeping place was two
floors above this place. She
had evidently felt the dis
ease coming on her and had moved
below.
DIR. Day had her taken to the
cholera hospital. The cause Of this
case is not attributed to crab eating,
but to using water from the stream.
A sister of Palma died on Sept.
IS. She had been taken down
with diarrhoea and purging, and it
was thought at first to be light
case of cholera. However, a ply
stefan was called in and after due
examination he pronounced it
case of debility. When the woman
died the next day certificate to
that effect was filed in the Board of
Health Office.
There is considerable comment
about those houses along the edge
not having been burned or pulled
down before. A goodly number OF
them are right over the water and
people can crawl out and catch
crabs without being seen.
The town was quite excited by
the recurrence of cholera. The
regret was deep and general. No
fears of an epidemic are expressed,
but the one case interferes with
business almost as much as would
score.
This makes the total of cholera
cases since it came So, with 60
deaths. This woman is very i'll
and on account of her advanced
age her recovery is considered
doubtful. She had lately visited
friends near st. Louis College, but
ate only poi and beef while there.
All the people in the house were
taken to quarantine.
The Board of Health met in
special session at 1890:
A letter from Kauai was read,
signed by Drs. Wolters, Weddick
and others.
They resigned from the Board
and desired to be relieved of all re-
sponsibility. The Kauai people
were willing to abide by the decis-
ION Of the Honolulu Board of
Health.
President Smith stated that he
condemned the action of Drs. VOL
tiers and Weddick and Sheriff Will
cox, who were Government offic-
ials, and it was his opinion they
should be discharged.
The Australia was expected here
on Monday, and it had been pro-
posed that she discharge her freight
at the Pacific Mail wharf. The
agent had said that this was i'm
possible. Fifty native laborers
went into quarantine today to be
engaged in discharging the Austria
liza.
The bark Albert is six days out
today from San Francisco and will
dock and discharge at the Pacific
Mail wharf.
President Smith stated that in
the matter of the native woman
who was taken sick this morning
: with cholera, he believed it was
caused by water from the lower
Nuuanu stream. The matter is
being Thoroughly investigated.
The following were added to the
list of articles which can be shipped
to the other islands: Sugar bags in
bales, blacksmith coal, and pota-
toes. Articles denied: Machine
oil, nails, lumber, nitrate Of soda
and salt.
T. F. Lansing objected to any
additional articles being shipped &c
the other islands. There were sew.
eral Fort street merchants who
were unable to ship dty goods and
groceries, and he felt it was like
discrimination.
c. Won Hamm was given per
nit to go to Kauai, that gentleman
having been in quarantine ter
days.
President Smith announced tina
the fumigating plant would be her'
: on October 23d.
A communication from the P. M
, S. S. Co. of San Francisco to tn,
board stated that the Honolul,
5 freight which had been takei
S through on the S. S. Rio de Janeir'
0 had been thoroughly fumigatet
r there, and they saw no reason VIII.
the freight should not be landed a
