Gan 7 AVOID QUARANTINE
VESSELS WILL BF, HELD AT SAN
FRANCISCO.
Captain McNeil's Experience During
Cholera Days-Not Satisfied With
Sixteen Days Clean Health Bill.

Captain Mcneil of the bark Planter
was ready to leave for the coast yes
terday with a cargo of sugar, but the
Board of Health held the vessel for
fumigation. The captain did not want
any fumigating done on board his bark
and protested against it as useless. He
managed to get the order modified so
that the cargo in the hold was not
treated, only the cabins and decks be-
ing fumigated
I'VE shall be quarantine6 in San
Francisco no matter what is doue
here" said Captain Mcneil. "They al
ways quarantine us there if they can
find an excuse. During the cholera days
I got the idea that they must have it Ill
for me and I expect the same treatment
again. 1t will take me from fifteen
days up to reach San Francisco and my
papers from here will show the pre-
cautions that were taken here, but they
will send the ship to quarantine just
the same, and fumigate her too
when there was cholera here I made
a trir to San Francisco in sixteen days
and had no sickness on board during
all that time. 1t made no difference L
had to spend seven days in quarantine
at San Francisco before they We're sat
isfied. Any skipper who is leaving here
just now and expecting to get into San
Francisco without the quarantine delay
is going to meet with disappointment"

TRANSFERS Of TEACHERS TROUBLE WITH FREIGHT
SEVERAL CHANGES MADE FOR
NEW TERM.
Schools on Hawaii, Maui and Oahu At
fected-Program Decided Upon by
Teachers Comittee Yesterday.

The teachers committee of the De-
partment of Education met yesterday
and made a number of appointments
and transfers which will go into effect
at once. The meeting was necessary in
order that the various persons and
schools affected could be notified by the
steamers leaving during the day. Fol-
lowing were the changes made;
Miss Ewaliko, appointed to the VS.
cancy as assistant teacher in the Waia-
kea school to succeed Miss Hazel Lewis.
The latter resigned on account of i'm
paired health and will return to her
home at Olaa.
Miss Mary Silva was transferred from
Waialua to Kalihi-uku. She is just re-
covering from a siege of typhoid fever.
Miss Alice Walker was appointed as
sistant teacher in the Honomakau
school, Hawaii.
Miss Mary Irwin was transferred
from Laupahoehoe to Hakalau Mich
olas Hopii was transferred from Poha-
kupuku to Laupahoehoe to take her
place.
On Kauai, Miss Henrietta Christian
was transferred from Lihue to Hama
maulu.
Miss Edith Berrey was transferred
from Waimea to Lihue to succeed Miss
Christian.
Miss Glare f. Fassett was appointed
assistant in the Hilo Union school.
All these appointments will take ef-
feet at once and the teachers will begin
work in their new schools at the open
ing of the approaching term.

.EVFN THE LE|S WERE TABU
NONE ALLOWED ON BOARD THE
AUSTRALIA.
Sixty-eight Cabin Passengers and no
Steerage-A Conditional Bill of
Health.

The departure of the Australia was a
very different sort of farewell yester-
day from the customary send off. The
passengers were ordered on board at
half past two and no one but passen-
gers could go up the gangplank. There
was a large crowd on the wharf how
ever and good-byes were spoken there.
Leis were all left behind. 1t was de-
cided that they were likely to be car
riers of disease germs and passengers
who were loaded with them were made
to take them off at the foot of the gang
plank.
SiXty-eight cabin passengers went
away on the Australia. The fact that
steerage accommodations We're not open
made some who would like to have gone
in the steerage pay the extra amount
rather than wait for a future steamer
There appears to be a question whether
steamers that are going through will
take any passengers from this port and
if they do not the Australia is the only
recourse. The Zealandia has been turn
ed over to the owners in San Francisco
and it is thought that she will come
down here, especially if the Australia
is held in quarantine.
The Australia got away shortly after
four o'clock, with a conditional bill of
health. The passengers had a busy
time getting ready for departure. Tick
cts We're only sold after a doctor had
been interviewed by the traveller, a per-
nit secured and an inspection card
properly filled out and stamped. Guards
were on watch all day and no one Went
on the vessel who could not show pas
senger's ticket.

MEN WILL GET THE SAME AS IN
1895.
Question Finally Settled by the Cabinet
This Morning - Railway Subsidy.
Money From Land Sales.

The question of salaries to be paid
members of the National Guard for SER
vices during the plague quarantine was
determined by the Cabinet this morn
ing. This is what the men will receive
per day:
Privates, 50; corporals, S2.25; SER
geants, 50 so; first sergeants, 81. rs; sec
ond lieutenants, $377; first lieutenants,
4.OS; captains, S4S4 adjutants, Asa;
majors, 1914; lieutenant colonel, $S.O7;
colonel, S9.41. Sergeant majors, SO, mu-
scians $2.25.
Pay rolls have been made out and the
men will be paid off from this after
noon.
Mr. Damon reported that the subsidy
$lO5OO year, of the oahu r. & L. Com
pany was exhausted with the exception
of $500 An application of the company
for the subsidy for this year brought
out the report.
1t was decided to let the balance Of
S245O0 remaining in the treasury under
the head of special deposit land sales"
stay as it is until Congress has taken
action in regard to Hawaii.
Attorney General Cooper made a
long report on the plague and work be-
ing done to stamp out the visitation.
Among other things he said that exper-
iments were being made to see whether
or not the bacilli of plague would live
in sah and sol. This was in order to
determine future action in regard to
these goods

BLOCKADES ALONG THE wATEI
FRONT.
Unfumigated Kobe Cargo-Twenty-
three Foreign Vessels Lie Idle in the
Harbyr-Island Traffic.

The enforcement of quarantine rules
is filling up the harbor and crowding the
docks SO that water front officials are
tempted to indulge in profanity every
time they try to turn round. The worst
confusion this morning was at the Pa
cific Mail wharf, where the big Algoa
is trying to get rid of the rest of the
2000 tons of freight she had for this port.
The dock was piled as high as the roof
from end to end. At the Waikiki end is
a quantity of freight from the Nanyo
Maru and coal from the B. p. Cheney.
The rest of the space is loaded with
stuff from the Gaelic and the Algoa.
The latter could only work one engine
discharging this morning.
The disnfection of freight proceeds
as rapidly as the facilities will allow.
Attention is called to the fact that the
Japanese shipments that were unloaded
| from the Nanyo Maru, a Kobe steamer,
still lies on the wharf unfumigated.
Many natives have been amongst 1t
| ever since it was put on the wharf,
| playing cards and shooting craps and
If there Is much danger in it they ought
| to be heard from. The Gaelic's cargo
was all put right into the fumigating
room and was hauled up town today.
! Including the island fleet there were
| fifty vessels in the harbor this morn
| ing. Forty-one were deep water vessels.
There were twenty in the stream and
| no less than twenty-three foreign YES
sells idle in the harbor. Some were walt
| ing for a chance to discharge, others FOR
cargoes or ballast. Sixteen were dis
| charging and two ballasting.
! The island steamers in the stream are
Loading from scows. The Kinau left last
night with seventyfive cabin passen-
gers and the Claudine will leave this
evening at five o'clock. All the passen-
| gers are required to secure permits
from the Board of Health before they
| can buy tickets. Bill Larsen's little
launch is doing good work towing big
| lighters out to the steamers.
There Is neither labor nor facilities OF
other kinds enough to handle all the
! business under present conditions and
| the blockade of freight will not b.
| easily disposed of.

FAMILIAR WITH PLAGUE.
Lasears on Board Algoa Have Had the
Disease.


Among the sixty-five Lascars on the
steamship Algoa are several who have
had the plague and recovered and all of
them have seen it in Bombay, one of
the cities in which the scourge made
one of it's most dreadful records in his
tory. Through familiarity with the
disease tgie Algoa crew have lost fear
of it and are not at all frightened by
the conditions in Honolulu.
The Algoa was in Bombay, when the
terrible outbreak of several years ago
took place. The plague there was not
like it is in Honolulu People died by
hundreds where one or two expire here
and several hundred thousand people
crowded the means of transportation
away from the city. All but the cases
that were taken to the hospitals in very
short order, after being developed, We're
fatal The men on the Algoa were
among these lucky ones. They were
shipped last June and will stay with
the vessel till next June, when she re-
turns to India.
General Gatacre, the man who has
recently met with defeat in South Arri-
ca was the man who finally took hold
of affairs in Bombay and suppressed
the plague. First officer A. Lockett Of
the Algoa was there with his vessel at
the time and gives an interesting de-
scription of the exterme measures final
ly taken by the British general. Cat
acre enforced the strictest rules as to
transfers of the sick to the hospitals
and examination of all the population
and he burned to the ground building
after building in which deaths from
plague occurred.
The Algoa will leave tomorrow for
San Francisco, where she will be fumi-
gated and quarantined, as she was on
leaving Bombay. The big freighter is
not only the largest vessel in the Pa
cfc, but is the largest tramp steamer

ballast RATE NARBEGUN PAY OF NATIONAL GUARD
A NEW COMPANY STARTS TO
WORK THREE QUARRIES.
A Cut of One-third in Prices-Large
Reduction in Expenses to Shippers
Here.

A new ballast supply company has
been started on the water front and has
begun it's fight for business by cut of
a third in the price of ballast. Skip
pers calling here have had many COM
plants to make regarding the high
price of ballast and they are not sorry
to see rate war Only one company
has been in the business heretofore.
getting it's rock from Punchbowl
The new company consists of Harry
Evans and Rudolph Duncan, formerly
clerks in Deputy Marshal Chilling
worth's office. They have secured three
quarries, and three lots in town for the
storing of rock and are beginning busi-
ness on large scale. Orders from elev-
en- ships in the harbor have already
been obtained. 1t is proposed to store
a thousand tons on each of the three
lots so that there will always be large
supply ready for orders
Honolulu is a port where very much
ballast is used and the cheapening of
prices will make much difference to
shipping firms. over half of the sailing
vessels that go out of port here take
ballast All the lumber schooners FOR
the Sound and the coal vessels for the
same locality go away from here with
out any cargo, as well as many of the
fleet for San Francisco. The average
bark or ship takes from six to eight
hundred tons, the price of which has
been about 81 80 per ton. The new firm
has notified captains in port that it is
ready to supply vessels for $1.00 per ton.
The three quarries to be worked are
at Kamoiliili, Liliha and Kahili.
