Yhe following extracts are from letter
received by lady at Santa Monica from
afriend at Honolulu. and contains some
interesting. cholera news:
HONOLULU, Sept. Sd.
This is truly a beautiful country in
some respects-a land of perpetual sun
shine, of flowers and birds; a land of beau
tiful foliage-justly termed the Paradise
of the Pacific; but in other respects
canntrw ii, be avoided. However, my
stay here ihas been a happy one.
The mail steamer arrived from San
Francisco yesterday. 1t took the captain
some time ito make up his mind to come
UP to the " harf, but finally he came in.
When he fiy,st sighted the island and saw
the two American nen-of-war (bennlng-
ton and olympia) lying out about two
miles, his fl sst idea was that another rev.
olution was IN progress here; but when
he saw the yellow flag at the masthead
of the Bennington l guess he thought
differently. The status OF cholera up to
date (Ssptembsr 3d. is as follows: Total

The one foreigner who died was an

nington. At preselst one block of build
.ihgs, extending from King street to the
water front, in the Chinese and Japan
ese quarter, Is quarautined and patrolled
by the military-no ingress or egrsss
allowed, and 1 understand the block is
to be burned today, but can't say how
much truth there is in this statement,
as it is merely street rumor.
The Australia sails for the coast On
Thursday, Septem Der 9th, at pm. On
the morning of the 5th L will get the
board of health report OF the condition
of CHOLERA and send along with this letter.
1t will be the most reliable news to be
obtained and will reacn you before the
Sam Francisco papers cont tanning the same
account reach Santa Menica. l would
like to see the San Francisco Examiner
for the past few days, the first two or
three days after the Wartrlmo arrived at
San Francisco. She came from Australia
days ago. then fed-wouldn' even leave
or take any mail; wouldn even take o
telegram from the American minister,
who went out to her in skiff, so he had
to be content with laying off about
hundred yards from her and shouting his
message to the purser. No telling what
that message was by the time it reached
San Franisco. And then after travelling
5000 miles by wire to Washington, and
then through the hands of the type setter
ana the proof reader-well. l wonder
what i. reads in print? All the crew
and passengers aboard the Warrimo
looked at Minister Willis as though he
were an enlarged cholera germ.
