Isved by the physicians and many Of
the citizens that more cases OF the dis
ease were likely TO make their appear
ance, but as eight days had gone by
without sny indication Of the dread
monster, il was hoped the town had
seen snd heard the last Of the disease.
There was general regret yesterday
morning when il became known that
\ new case OF cholerS had been dis
covered. The patient was sn aged
Hawaiian woman named Palma and
resided in 3 small frame hut on Hotel
street, Just where the road runs into
Nuuanu streSm, and in the locality
known IS kikihale-
Detective David ksSps reported the
case 10 DR.. Dsy ST s; 40 O'Clock yester-
dsy morning. The woman WAS taken
sick early the night before. When
the authorities reached the house the
woman was found lying in the corner
Of $ room on the ground floor and but
few inches above the water OF Nuu-
anu stream. Evidences Of vomiting
were found on the floor. The patient
was removed 10 the cholera hospital
st once, and fourteen other residents
oi the house placed in quarantine st
the same plsee.
II is believed the woman ste crabs
caught from the stream. Just under
the foor OF the room in which she wsS
found were numerous crabs floating
in the water. DR.. Day is Of the opin-
ion thst the woman became i'll from
drinking or using the water of the
stream. The case is said to be very
pronounced one sud the patient was
very i'll when removed 10 the hospital.
As the hospital wss in order for the
reception Of patients, il took but few
minutes for Armstrong Smith aud
Louiss, both having acted in the cs-
pSeity Of nurses, TO srriye and assume
their former positions. The total
number OF cases hiss now reached
eighty-six, with sixty deaths.
Physicians say the new case Of chol-
era Is another snd separate outbreak
snd must be treated SIS such. The
woman hsd but little communication
with persons outside OF the fourteen
residing in the same house where she
lived, snd il is believed the injection
will not spread.
