All day yesterday the physicians and
agents Of the Board of Health were
kept busy responding TO calls TO eX
anime cases of sickness in every part
of the city. Considerable opposition
on the part of the Chinese is being met
with in spite OF the promise made on
Tuesday by the Chinese Consul and
merchants that they would do every
thing in their power to assist the
Board Of Health.
In cases of sickness the Chinese
failed to reDOrt to the Health Office and
smuRgled the patients from one section
TO another. In one room in Chinatown
which had been visited by the inspect
ors verv often was found a sick China
man who had been kent in hiding for
several days The Chinese seem TO
think that If a case of sickness Is found
in their house or place OF business taa
quarantine will he placed around them
ard they Immediately devise plans to

Considerable opposition toward the
Chinese Consul and Vice Consul has
beer manifested for several days, and
despite the advice of the Consul the
Chinese continue concealment as be
