alton could he explained 10 the peO-
pie. See what reception they would
receive.
1t was thought a good thing to have
the schooner Aloha go direct to Hilo
and the Andrew Welch to Kahului.
People on Hawaii and Maui could thus
be supplied without the least danger
Of infection.
President Smith thought the matter
of freight had better be postponed I'M
til more could be learned.
John Ena said the Pahala and
Hutchinson plantations had signihed
their perfect willingness to have
freight landed for their use but the
people in HiIo had so controlled
things that nothing could be
done. The people in Kau were
about starving. Mr.. Ena could not
see why the people of HilO should be
allowed to dictate to the Kau district.
The Hall could go on Tuesday with
Sheriff Hitchcock aboard. Perhaps
a landing could be effected. The Hall
had been virtually in quarantine
eighteen days.
DIR. Wood said the matter of freight
not being allowed to be landed on the
other islands was not a matter for the
Board to consider. 1t came rather
within the Jurisdiction of the police
department. The Board had decided
to send freight away from this port
after the necessary precautions. lt
was the clean freight so far as tie
Board was concerned. That was the
end of it.
President Smith was liz favor of re-
ducing to minimum the danger of
cholera infection on the other Islands.
The quarantine should be as strict as
possible.
Mr.. LANCE asked about shipment of
guns, powder, percussion caps, rice
bags and other articles to Eva.
President Smith did not think it
was safe to fumigate powder.
DIR. Day said there was no danger
from bags after thorough fumigatiOn.
The motion to put rice bags on the
list of export articles was carried.
The twenty-one districts into which
the city had been divided by the Cen
trail Committee were read by President
Smith. The regulation was adopted.
Another regulation of the Central
Committee to the effect that no per
son in the city of Honolulu shall
change his place of abode without per-
mission of the Board of Health, was
unanimously carried.
Minister Damon offered the sug-
gestion that the sub-agents OF the Cen
trail Committee be made agents of the
Board of Health. They could carry
out their work more effectively.
b. F. Dillingham; thought the indis-
eliminate coming and going of per
sons living in the valleys should be
stopped. Sub-agents had taken lit
tie authority and stopped some of the
Chinese already. 1t was matter of
great danger to have persons from the
valleys visiting the city without any
special motive. Some of these might
90 to infected districts, partake of
food there and carry infection into
their valley homes. A list of actual
working persons of the valleys should
be taken and permits granted to these
only.
Col. Soper asked why some OF the
lumber at the old fish market had
been burned and some was left near
the new fish market. Had heard that
the lumber was to be sold. 1t seemed
to him that the orders of the Board of
Health had not been strictly carried
out. III a part of the lumber was
burned the whole should be des-
troyed.
A motion to use the schooner Ka-
valiant as q scow to take rice to the
steamer Hawaii for the other islands
was carried and the Board adjourned.
WORK OF RELIEF SOCIETY.
If any one not fully acquainted with
the work of the Hawaiian Relief Com
mittee could have spent a few mo-
ments at their depot watching the
expression of thankfulness on the
faces of the poor natives and heard
them shower blessings upon those
who were dealing out most literally
70 them food with which to sustain
their families and themselves, they
would have Immediately set them
selves to do all in their power to as
sist in the charitable undertaking in
stead OF offering doubtful compli-
ments, samples of which have been
heard in the last day or so.
The Hawaiian Relief Society is
struggling bravely and buffeting the
waves of encouragement which occa-
sionally appear, with vigor born not
only of interest in behalf of the Ha-
waiians but a genuine spirit of crown
ing with success the efforts which
have been started.
ALI through the hot hours of the
day have the ladies OF the Relief Com
mittee done the work of preparing
and dealing out rations to the needy
Hawaiians. In many cases uudoubt-
eddy they have been imposed upon.
They have realized that fact and have
not been blindIy treated to a game of
"bluff." They do not intend that this
little act shall continue, however, for
after a thorough census of the native
population Of the city and suburbs is
taken, they intend TO ascertain the
true state OF affairs in every home.
Each name will be recorded and when
a Mr.. Ioane Lapuale comes up to the
window with an expression on his
face akin to that of hunger, but SAVIOR
ing more OF rascality, he will be
looked up" Immediately. If he is
found to be in good circumstances,
neither tears nor food will be wasted.
The Relief Committee has not been
able to get everything into perfect
working order yet on account of the
complication of matters 10 Honolulu,
present perhaps in no other place.
Advice is cheerfully and thankfully
received from those who have a genu-
