President Smith occupied the chail
at Yesterdays session of the Health
Board, there being present with him
Drs. Day, Wood, Herbert, Myers
Howard, Wayson, Ryder, Emerson
Cooper, Smith, Members Lansing
waterhouse Keliipio, Executive OFF,
Ger Reynolds, Minister Hatch, Com
missioner Marsden, Captain Nc
Stocker, c. Bolte and a number Of
others.
The Board was informed that al
the attendants at the cholera hospital
had been dispensed with, excepting
c. J. Whitney. The place was in
good order, and the volunteers ready
at moments notice to return should
more cases make their appearance.
The hospital was under the supervis-
ion of DR.. Myers. That gentleman
made daily visits to the institution
1t was decided to retain Mr.. Whitney
until further notice.
President Smith spoke of the work
of cleaning the city. He believed il
would be wise to follow up the work
done by the inspectors. In some
places the work had been done hur-
riedly, and it might be best for the
Government employees of the Board
to visit the infected districts and fin
ish whitewashing and fumigate
wherever it was found necessary.
The entire city was now in good SAN
itary condition.
The Board was informed that the
Eva people were ready to bow to the
will of the Board of Health, and
would agree to take anything that
might be shipped under their super
vision. There was a scarcity Of pro-
visions, especially among the rice
planters. President Smith said Eva
plantation was planting and needed
about the place and il lumber could
not be secured work of planting would
have to cease.
Mr.. Lansing wanted provisions
shipped to Chinese rice planters of the
island. They were dependent upon
Honolulu for supplies, and it was
necessary that such should be sent.
The President thought it best not TO
open everything; more cases might
appear and then the matter would
have to be gone over again.
Or. Wood was of the opinion that it
would be better to wait while longer
before raising the prohibition in ship
ping. Unless there was extreme ur-
gency, he didn't believe in relaxing
quarantine regulations. He could see
no danger now in shipping lumber to
Eva. 1t was agreed to ship actual
necessities to Eva.
A request from the school teachers
asking what time schools could be
taken up, was considered. 1t was the
unanimous opinion of the Board that,
if no new cases Of cholera appeared by
next Monday, it would be safe to COM
mence teaching
In speaking of the cholera, the pres
ent situation, etc., DR.. Wood said the
period of incubation had passed. If
new cases should appear it would
a possibility, however, OF the germs
lying dormant and might spread iu-
fection, but it would be considered
separate attack.
There were number Of applications
from lodges, societies, ETC., about hold
ing meetings. 1t was decided that
these lay over. Permission had been
granted TO hold church services in the
daytime, and band concerts.
President Smith said a mass of reso-
lutions and communications had been
received from the other islands, but as
time was urgent on account of steam
ers leaving, action on them would be
deferred for the present. Among
them were complaints from the peo-
pie of North and South Kona. Hama
protested against the action of the
Maui people, called them hard names,
and said they were no good. The
people up there were starving. Let
ters had gone by the James Makee
informing the people of Kauai that
the steamer only took freight
from the Pacific Mail wharf,
which had been brought direct
from California. The following Off
cial circular letter was sent all agents
Of the Board of Health on the other
islands:
The steamer Claudine calls tonight
for Maui and Hawaii. Part of her
largo consists of freight taken from
The town and part from the Pacific
Mail wharf That from the town con-
sists only of such articles as were not |
available on the Pacific Mail wharf,
md were limited to rice, medical sup
plies, kerosene oil and a very few

.autions that we could maintain, and, |
Ifter they were on board, the ship and |
largo was thoroughly fumigated. |

opinion that all of this freight may

deserved that the Board of Health
eel it is justified in adopting the reso-
