TABU PAU IN CHINATOWN CASE OF ETHEL Johnson
PATIENT IN IWILEI WHO HAS
WORRIED THE TOWN.
Physicians in Doubt as to the Ailment.
Symptoms of Plague-Young Woman
Will Probably Die.

Ethel Johnson, girl, aged is, pupil
in the High School, is lying i'll at her
home in Iwilei of a disease, the symp-
toms of which can not readily be dis
tinguished from that of bubonic plague.
She has been in a very critical condi-
tion since early last evening and will
probably die. In fact a report of her
death may be expected at any moment.
This young woman left school last
Tuesday and has not been in town
since, although, it is said, she has Wis
tied several localities between her re-
sidence and the infected district.
Sunday evening she was not well.
Yesterday morning she was worse,
though not in bed. In the afternoon
fever started and rose rapidly. At
about dark the case was reported 10
the Board of Health and several physi-
clans, headed by DR.. Hoffman, went
out They found the patient delirious
and in a very dangerous way.
The matter was reported back to the
Board of Health and a police guard
was established over the place. Later
this guard was withdrawn and the
premises were taken charge of by the
military. All night the patients tenn
perature was very high, between 105
and 106, and death was expected at
any time.
This morning, about o'clock, DR..
Scaparone visited the patient and re-
ported that she could not live. DIR.
Hoffman, a short time later, thought
death would occur in two hours. From
that time, up to this writing, the situ-
alton has remained the same.
Just what the case is can not now
be stated. Treatment for plague is be-
ing given. Though there are indications
of the malady, indications of some
thing else are equally strong, and, in
the present condition of the patient. the
true facts can not be determined.
The report of the physicians this
morning was, briefly, this Had plague
not appeared in Honolulu, this would
not be a suspicious case"

STILL PARTIALLY QUARANTINED
Island Steamship Not Wholly Re-
leased.

AS far as the island steamers in the
harbor this morning were concerned,
the raising of the quarantine at noon
did not effect complete release. The
only difference in the instructions given
to the companies from those of the
quarantine days was contained in the
following extracts from a letter by
President Cooper to President Wight
of the Wilder Steamship Company.
Your steamers that are now under
going quarantine will be allowed to
leave for their ports of destination
after a thorough inspection by the
medical officers of this Board The
officer will be ready to inspect the ship
after ~ o'clock noon, December 49,
Cabin passengers may embark with
their personal baggage up to IL o'clock
noon. 1t will be necessary for all cabin
passengers to first obtain a certificate
from licensed physician and a permit
from this office before being allowed to
embark.
1.-THE steamers Kinau and Maui
should not be allowed to come to the
wharf, but should continue to take
freight as now being done. Cabin pas
sengers may be embarked as above
provided for"
Under these instructions the loading
of the Maui and Kinau near the chan
mel was continued by the use of lighters
and the Inter Island Company kept its
steamers Waialeale and Niihau, arriv-
ing this morning, and others in the har-
bar, from approaching the docks. Both
companies are expecting a withdrawal
of the order preventing the carrying of
deck passengers, as well as of the order
which keeps the steamers from the

ISLAND STEAMERS DEPART
THE WAIT IN QUARANTINE
PROVES USELESS.
More Passengers Admitted on the Yes
sells That Have Been outside for a
Week.

The island steamship companies hur-
ried their steamers away today with
all possible dispatch sending out nearly
all their fleets to various island ports,
where they will be very welcome ar
rivals. Those that have been at an
chor outside the harbor for a week
nearly all left soon after IL o'clock.
There was great joy among the passen-
gers and crew when they heard the
good news that quarantine was raised
and the captains lost no time in pull
ing up anchors and steaming away.
The weary wait of a week had proved
useless. The passengers who had spent
their time rolling on the swell outside
the channel on the Inter-Island boats
had the pleasure of seeing others come
aboard to join them, getting away al
the same time as the quarantined ones
without the week of waiting.
This morning the Inter-Island Com
pany issued a notice that passengers
having the necessary permits would be
received on board the Mauna Loa, w
G. Hall, Mikahala, Noeau and Niihau
all of which were in quarantine. Pas
sengers were required to get aboard
before noon. The steamers were to gel
away as soon as possible afterwards.
The Claudine, Helene and Lehua left
together at noon and the Kinau will
leave at o'clock. The change in the
Board of Health's orders enabled the
latter to carry passengers, permits be-
ing required and only cabin passengers
being taken.

WONDERFUL TRANSPORTATION
THERE.
The Region Has Been Thoroughly
Cleaned and Presents a New Aspect
Cost Estimated at $1,5O0.
Quarantine has been raised.

Quarantine has been raised.
The volunteer inspectors turn China
town over to the Board of Health to-
day, cleaner and in more sanitary
condition than it ever has been, prob
bly,, since it was Chinatown.
While all the bills are not in and all
the expenses have not been fully foot
ed up, it is believed that the entire
expense of the volunteer inspector force
in inspecting and cleaning the quaran-
tined district will be less than $1,000.
This amount includes the cost of cart
ing rubbish, of disinfectants, of labor
and every other expense attached to
the work. The splendid work was ac-
complished at this low cost largely be-
cause the volunteer inspectors COM
PEELED owners and occupants to do the
cleaning up very largely. Notice would
be given to occupants to clean up by a
certain time. If at that time the work
was not done, or at least commenced
a gang of laborers would be set to
work., and almost invariably this was
sufficient to set the occupants at
work, they preferring to do the work
than having it done by the summary
methods of the volunteer inspectors.
When quarantine was raised at noon
there was great rejoicing in Chinatown
and the Japan Sea. The quarantined
inhabitants began moving about more
freely than they had for a week. Deni-
zens of the quarter who have been out
side during the quarantine period be-
gan coming back, but it was like COM
ing back to strange land. Everywhere
there was the aroma of quick-lime and
the fragrance of disinfectants instead
of the usual stinks and smells of the
Asiatic quarter. A blind man would
never recognize the place. The streets
were clean. All the back yards were
clean. The close ill-ventilated quarters
inside the houses were tolerably clean
Lime and white wash were everywhere
1t is as if wizards wand had touched
the place. And so it had. 1t was the
wizards wand of energy and resolute-
ness on the part of the volunteer in
| Spectors.
The men in charge of this volunteer
| inspection are now at work making uT
| their reports.

GIANT POWDER IN TRASH THE
CAUSE.
Was Burning Rubbish at Kewalo When
The Pile exploded and Badly In
jured Him.

j. Mahiai, native about so years old,
was blown up by some combustibe in
a trash pile at Kewalo this morning
and is in a bad way. His face and
flesh on other parts of the body are
tern by fragments of flying rubbish
The shock took him off his feet and he
was severely Jared. Barring any in
ternal injuries from jarring he may be
all right in four or five days.
The man was engaged by the Board
of Health to burn rubbish brought from
Chinatown to the official dump in
Kewalo. He had heaped a big pile,
cone shape, and had set it afire. Then
he began to stir the debris and push
it toward the flames.
On a sudden the pile burst up like
a volcano. Debris flew fifty feet in
the air and was thrown over an area
of an acre around. Mahiai was thrown
on his face and rendered almost in
sensible. When reached and raised he
could hardly walk and was bleeding
and dazed. He was at once taken to
the Government dispensary and treat
ed by DR.. Meyers.
There was speculation for a long
time as to what caused the explosion.
1t was finally decided that in some of
the rubbish there was a stick of giant
powder, dynamite or maybe a bomb of
some sort. Whatever it was it was
very powerful. Had the explosion oc-
cured in a residence section windows
may have been broken and crockely
thrown from the shelves.

THE BEST YET PRODUCED.

All who attended the Orpheum last
evening were highly entertained. The
curtain raiser was entitled Mulberry
Bend" a comedy farce, with M. B. Cur
tbs a Levinsky the pawnbroker and
Mrs. Curtis as Yvonne Joubert French
actress, supported by the members or
the Orpheum Company. 1t was well
rendered and the principals received a
hearty encore from the audience.
The sketch by Boggs and Haeward
entitled THE Happy Pair" was above
the ordinary, and brought additional
laurels to these favorite actors. The
evenings program included new acts
by Busch on the trapeze, scientific
shooting by the Smiths, and concluded
with an original sketch by Fletcher and
his charming little daughter Ethel.
Altogether ii H. one of the best pro-
grams yet presented by the Orpheum
and is worthy of good patronage,

PAY ROLLS.

Some of the pay rolls of the volun-
teer inspectors force were temporarily
rejected by the Auditor Generals office
because names were signed in lead
pencil instead of in ink.
In order to pay the men promptly,
most of whom are labOrers, George r.
Carter secured an advance of the ne
cessary funds from the Chamber of
Commerce. The pay rolls were in ap-
proved form with this exception and it
is understood that this will either be
remedied or the department waive the
requirement.
