the plague in Queen street died at
80 Sunday morning.
Total of deaths so far, 7.
The native man who was strick-
ell in Iwilei at noon on Saturday is
convalescent. He is very weak,
but seems to be quite free from &C

Both these places are quarantined
and under guard.

neither symptoms nor report of

President Smith will present the
matter of stopping the shipment of

port. He regards this as danger
Gus and believes it should be
stopped for a week. There will be
due consideration of the necessity
for sending food supplies to certain
points.
All debris and refuse collected
about the city is to be hauled to
the Kakaako dumps. Since the
mention of this matter printed be-
low was in type, the authorities
have ordered that what trash can
be burned shall be given fire
treatment. The rest will be thor
oughly disinfected.
1t is the conclusion of all who
are investigating that the local
conditions unfavorable to cholera
have saved the town.
No sickness at the Quarantine
Station.
MOTIFS.
Two leases" reported to the
Police station Sunday night were
found to be respectively too much
saki and too many mangoes.
A native child was taken sud-
denly i'll on Liliha street yesterday
evening. A doctor was sent for.
An emetic was given the little
thing and she vomited. After ex-
animation Of the discharge the doc
tor gave it as his opinion that the
child had been given raw squid to
eat, which did not agree with the
stomach. The yonng one is all
right again.
A drunken woman on Nuuanu
avenue Saturday night screamed
that she had the cholera. When
ride to Iwilei was suggested she at
once recovered.
A Japanese employed in Mer-
chant street business house set out
Sunday morning to visit the Quar-
antine Station. He was stopped
third of the way down the walk
and sent back. The man had taken
a shore boat and said he simply
wanted to learn of the situation at
the Island from a direct source.
If it appears that an epidemic
threatens the city Col. Mclean
will keep all the soldiers in the
barracks day and night. The
quarters are in excellent condition
and the cesspool has been cleaned
out.
The Board of Health office will
be open night and day till further
notice.
About 500 householders in Ka-
kaako are much disturbed over
conditions in that suburb. Scores
of loads of debris from the city are
being dumped close to the houses
and a wind from the grounds fills
the houses with a terrible stencil
A portion of the dumping ground
is low and covered with putrid
water. 1t is urged that the stnff
should be hauled makai, where
there is half mile of open space.
Another suggestion earnestly Of
fered is that the debris should be
set afire. This will probably be
done. The residents argue that
unless some precaution is taken at
once they are very liable to suffer
an attack from disease.
The very worst case of invitation
to disease found outside the fish
market so far is at Pensacola and
. Beretania, the Eva corner, owned
by Jonathan Shaw. The lease runs
to Tai Kee, but he is China. His
representative was jailed this morn
ing. On the corner is a store. In
the lot, which is I4o 100 were
found not less than $50 people, in
Guiding twenty-six Japanese fam
lilies. There were three large cess
pools in frightful condition. The
buildings are after the style Of cat
tie pens enclosed. Rooms are rent
ed for fifty cents a week and sue
cessful opium and gambling raids
have several times been made on
the place. The police department
has ordered it vacated. Prominent
citizens have petitioned to have the
place closed permanently.
