AL hanulul Jnere Will De one or
more of several courses to be pursued;
the passengers and cargo may be al
lowed to be landed; or they may be
allowed to be landed upon condition
that they go into quarantine for
such time as the committee shall di-
rect; or in case the quarantining
plan is decided upon and prepare
tions have not been, made the
steamer could proceed on to Hilo
with the passengers and freight and
upon her return discharge them: or
il the decision is not to allow them
to land at all she will have to bring
both passengers and freight back to
Honolulu.
l would state that unless the con
ditions here change very much it is
probable that no more permits will
be given to passengers to leave
Honolulu for the other islands. Aud
so long as the disease continues to
exist in Honolulu no freight other
than that which is absolutely neces-
sary, and shall be recommended by
the several committees, will be al
lowed to be taken.
Upon arriving at Hilo, the same
course will be pursued. Both at
Hilo and Kahului no person on board
the steamer will be allowed to land
until the committee has arrived at
decision.
On each of the islands while the
Sheriff is the chief executive officer
OF the island, the regulations of the.
Board and the orders Of the commit
tees must he carried out in the man
ner which the committee shall di-
rect.
We recommend that the commit
tees act deliberately, and seek the
advice of other citizens before arriy-
ing at their conclusions upon all i'm
portant points; that all personal
and party feelings be laid aside and
all act in harmony so far as is posi-
BILE.
1t is OF the utmost Importance
that every reasonable precaution be
taken to prevent the introduction
OF the disease into the other islands;
at the same time reasonable dis
erection must be exercised.
The steamer w. G. Hall has been
in quarantine for more than a week
and has for cargo only rice, -four.
hay, grain and coal, and we will give
her a permit to go to Kau and an
Choir at Punaluu, there to wait until
instructions have been received
from the committee at Hilo, If the
committee deem it best she may be-
allowed to land her cargo at the
ports i'll Kau, the freight being
placed on the wharf and taken away
by the people on the shore, strict
guard being kept so that the people
ON shore and the crew shall not
mingle together.
LII the committee should decide
that it is not advisable for her to
land freight at Kau they may per-
haps instruct her to come to Hilo
and discharge her freight there in
quarantine, to be afterwards distri-
buted from that point; or they may
in their discretion refuse to allow
her to land their freight at all
The James Makee, which h as been
in like quarantine for six days will
be allowed to sail for Kauai to-mor-
row evening to take these advices to
the committee on Kauai, as also the
mails.
We desire to receive full advices
from the several committees, and to-
gether with them to fix upon the
best plans to be pursued.
A copy of the official cholera bull
letin will be mailed nth this, and
the newspapers will give informa-
ton as to what has been occurring,
in Honolulu.
