No LEIS WORN
The S. S. Australia Sails
Cherries.
No Bill Of Health Given--C0nsui Hay
wood and Dr.. Carmichael In
spect All Passengers.

For the first time in several years
| the Australia left her dock yesterday
afternoon for San Francisco without
the semblance of lei or flower of any
kind bedeeking the passengers. It
seemed somewhat out of place for the
ship and passengers to sail out of Ho-
nolulu under such circumstances, but
the hard hand OF the quarantine law
was placed upon every movement of
those on board, and nothing save in
spected baggage and personal effects
were allowed to be taken on board
DR.. Carmichael of the United States
Marine Hospital Service went on board
the Australia accompanied by Consul
General Haywood, at 2:30 p. m, and
every passenger was inspected and
certified 10 by these officials Accord
ing TO posted orders, no one except per-
sons holding steamer tickets were per-
mitted to pass up the gang-plank. One
gentleman, Government official start
ed up the gang-plank, but was stopped
by Consul General Haywood and the
former recognizing that if permitted
TO go aboard others would claim like
privilege, accepted the situation, and,
apolOgiZing for his thOughtlessness,
stepped ashore. The band was in at
tendance and played the Australia out
until she was fairly in the stream.
DR.. Carmichael stated TO a reporter
that he had received an official an
nouncement of the three deaths report
ed in yesterdays Advertiser, from Pres
ident Cooper, and had embodied the
same in a duplicate statement to the
quarantine officers at San Francisco,
and also to the Government at Wash
ingtOn, Consul General Haywood re-
porting likewise to the State Depart
ment.
The Australia did not carry a clean
bill of health and consequently will be
compelled to stand a quarantine upon
arrival at San Francisco. She carried
a comparatively small list Of first-class
passengers and a light steerage list.
The following is the passenger list:

Wagon Road Across Colorado,

: "Senator Taylor's $4,000 state wagon
road from Denver to Grand Junction
will undoubtedly be constructed in the
due course of time" said State Engineer
McCune in the Denver Republican.
II have not the giving out OF the funds
for these matters. but have made care
full estimates Of the money in sight and
am certain in my own mind that there
will be money on hand by mex, year to
allow at least the construction OF connect
ing links in the roads from Glenwood to
Buena Vista. There seems to be some
misunderstanding as to the character Of
this contemplated wagon road. 1t is no,
and never was the intention to burld one
continuous wagon road from Denver to
Grand Junction. The purpose of the bill
was to secure the connection OF already
existing roads along the greater portion
OF the route so that the journey could be
made on bicycle. This will not be
such an expensive task as many imagine,
as there are already many good roads on
the route. The money Appropriated
will be expended in constructing other
roads to connect those already in exist.

fare across the state"

are dying Of starvation on the stricken

OF the storm and describes the terrible
devastation in the Payamon and Arecibo
districts. In the latter district over 200
bodies were recovered and it is thought
that fully 100 bodies were swept away to
sea. When the water went down, the
town filled up with starving people from
the country districts. In one town twenty
were killed add hundreds we're rendered
homeless and destitute. 1t is impossible
to estimate the loss of life in the country
districts IS the rivers are still high and
impassable. 1t is known that the crops
in the island are total and complete
