Said a member of the Board of
Health yesterday. There is just a
possibility that germs OF typhoid fever
were brought here by the soldiers. This
is possible, but not probable. After
talking with others who know some
thing Of such matters and looking up
the best authorities, whose theories
and conclusions are strengthened by
late data from the States, an opinion
has been formed. The appearance OF
typhoid fever here is largely due 10
the carelessness of the men them
selves. 1t is true that the sinks were
located too close TO the camps and
were not properly looked after. But the
greatest fault is that the sinks have
not been used at night. Then finally
and this is very largely the cause OF
development of disease-iies have car

Generals Version Of the Martial
Law Affairs.
AN " UNFORTUNATE ASSERTION ,
WheeIock Lost His Head"-"lnvot
we'd the Junior rAId-De-Camp."
Town Marshal"
(Call, Oct. 19.)

Maj. Gen. Merriam has received the
official report of Brig. Gen. King, com
manding at Honolulu. 1t contains
much interesting data concerning the
health and discipline of the troops,
and an account Of the recent disturb
ance that occurred between the sol
diers and citizens. The report com
pletely exonerates Lieut.. Merriam, son
Of Gen. Merriam. who was reported 10
have been under the influence of liquor
and to have behaved in a manner un-
becoming an officer and a gentleman.
The following is that portion OF Gen.
Kings report relating TO Lieut.. Mer-
riam:
AS to discipline the depredatiOns up
the Manoa valley have ceased entirely.
Only one unfortunate incident has &C.
Cured. On Monday evening last, the
men having been paid during the day,
/ had instructed the provost marshal
to be in town with dozen mounted
soldiers to arrest members of the com
mand who might be creating disturb
ance.
The officer had been most efficient in
suppressing lawlessness in the suburbs
but on this occasion he appears TO hav
completely lost his head and also ~
have involved the Junior aid-de-camp
on my staff. The former had fracas
with a merchant sailor. The sympa-
thies of the crowd were against the Of
ficers There were jeers and threats.
and it seems that Lieut.. Wheelock
ordered the streets cleared, rode off in
pursuit of gang of sailors who were
cursing him and left an inexperienced
second lieutenant to execute his ord
erS. The Town Marshal (Brown), a
man of marked fairness and intelll-
gence, assures me that his infOrmants
told him that Lieut.. Merriam was not
drunk, but merely kept telling people
to move on or off and unfortunately
asserting that it was martial law"
| was awakened after midnight by
Commander TausSig of the navy, with
a hurried report that martial law was
being enforced by Lieut.. Merriam. |
sent Capt. Saxton to the scene to stop
the trouble, and, if necessary, place the
officer under arrest; l was dressing as
rapidly as / could when the captain
returned, reporting everything quiet
and bringing the officers with him.
After investigation the following day
/ held Lieut.. Wheelock responsible, re-
lieved him from duty as provost mar
shall and sent him TO his regiment. The
civil authorities announced their in
tention to take action, and | expected
them to do so. They met two days
later and decided not TO act.
Gen. Merriam is also in receipt OF a
private communication from Gen. King
in which he expresses his highest re-
gard for Lieut.. Merriam. who, he
states, was not drunk and who is a
model young officer.
