IDLE TALK.
1t has been nervous, disquiet-
ing, serious day. The widest
rumors have been anoat from early
morning. The most absurd of
these seemed to be the most gener-
ally accepted. Cooler heads have
upraided in a number of instances
faint hearted individuals circulating
reports calculated to alarm the
community.
The authorities are doing every
thing possible TO ward off the plag ue
and to allay excitement.
DIED IN A FEW HOURS.
Henry, a native boy, living near
Liliha street, Kunawai, reported to
the Board OF Health at o:3o clock
this morning that Kaehalii came to
his house about midnight yesterday
complaining of being sick. He
had diarrhoea, and vomited. His
limbs and arms were cold and stiff.
He was taken with cramps this
morning, and Henry called Chi
nese hack and had the sick man
put in. Before reaching the hos
pital the man died. He did not
vomit in the hack. The Board
will see that the house where he
had lived be fumigated thoroughly
and the boy quarantined. A search
will be made for the pake Jehu,
who has disappeared.
SLOW IN DEVELOPING.
There was one patient at
the Immigration depot at 7 this
morning. 1t is the case of
Simeona Kamanoha, who was
found to be suffering very violently
from diarrhoea and vomiting. DR..
Wayson examined the man and
pronounced fully developed case
of cholera. DR.. Myers conceded
with DR.. Wayson's report.
Simeona is a young man. On
Saturday and Sunday last he filled
up with "swipes" (beer) being un-
der the influence of the liquor all
the time. On Monday he was
taken with an attack of the diar-
rhoea. The only preventive he
used was the blossoms of guava
bushes. These he took in quaint
ties and the attack abated. On
Wednesday evening he was very
low, and he was unable to eat much
of any thing. Yesterday evening
he was SO bad that the health
authorities were called in. The
house has been disinfected and
quaran,ined and no one is allowed
inside.
This afternoon the man is better.
ON THE GUNBoAT.
The first foreigner to contract
the cholera was bluejacket Of the
Bennington. He was stricken last
evening and died this morning.
There are no other cases on the
ship. She is being most thorough
ly fumigated. The yellow flag,
is up. No one is permitted near
the ship and her men and officers
will remain aboard. This man had
not been off to Honolulu since the
Sth inst. There were many reports
as to his having been taken sick
while working in the heat of the
dynamo room. The above facts are
from official sources. It was a pro
nounced case of cholera.
