islands, he was in favor of quarantin-
| ing steamers, but under the most
| strict regulations
G.. BOlte suggested a transfer of
| goods from the w. II. Dimond or the
| Australia TO island steamers for ship
ment to the other islands.
L. K. Lansing wanted to know
about Chinese and Japanese goods.
Had heard that none of this could be
shipped to the other islands. Could
not see very well how the Board
could discriminate.
President Smith said that export
of Chinese and japanese goods had
| been prohibited on account of possible
danger. 1t had not been decided
whether cholera came by the freight
or passengers of the Belgic. Freight
had been sent all over the city from
that steamer so that it was hard to
tell from freight which arrived by
other steamers.
J. 3. Anterior wanted to know
if the goods sent from Honolulu
would be accepted on the other ISL
ands.
F. NJ. Swanzy spoke of sending out
the island steamers. If it became
necessary to discriminate with re-
spect to Chinese and japanese goods,
elimination. The Chinese and Jap
anese of the other islands could do
without their fancy dishes for a little
while. 1t was a question when
cholera could be entirely stamped
out and inasmuch as that was "a fact
he favored the immediate resumption
of trade, subject, of course, to
greatest care in the matter of quar-
antine.
Several schemes for quarantining
steamers and their crews were sug
gested by members of the Board.
Mr.. Ena said that four of the L. /. ;.
II. Company's steamers had been
placed in quarantine.
President Smith did not see the use
of such action. No steamers could be
properly quarantined in that manner.
Mr.. Ena said it was effective in this
manner-that the crews were kept on
their respective steamers ready for
action. He would see that the instruc-
tiOns of the Board of Health should be
carried out, if that body had any to
give.
President Smith appointed Messrs.
Swanzy, Hackfeld and Schaefer to act
with DR. Wood and John Waterhouse
on the quarantine committee.
Mr.. Ena wanted to know if there
was any objection to taking freight
from the Australia and putting the
same on the w. O.. Hall.
President Smith instructed the
quarantine committee to consider the
most advisable method of quarantine
ing steamers, crews and passengers,
and also the matter of cargoes, re-
porting to him at 10 am. Tuesday.
AN ALARMING PHASE.
HTha natives are pettinp more and
more reticent about reporting cholera
cases" said q well known individual
yesterday "This Is attributed to
many causes, several of which were
brought up in yesterday mornings
session of the Board of Health.
In a conversation with a native
yesterday, he said it was the
opinion of many of his race that the
present Government was bent upon
killing off the Hawaiians, and that,
fearing cholera might not succeed, they
were seeking TO starve them to death.
In my opinion, this is one of the most
alarming phases of the cholera situa-
ton yet developed so far. 1t is abso-
Iutely necessary that all doubt as to
the good intention of the Government
be stamped out Immediately or cholera
will never cease in this country"
4 IwILEI QUARANTINE OFF.
Z Quarantine was declared off at Iwi-
lei yesterday afternoon. The flags
were taken down and guards dis
missed. The place has beeen cleaned
up and lis in the very best of cOndi-
ton.
