HOW THE KAHUKU MURDERS
CAME ABOUT.
Answered the Call for Help of Their
Comrades and We're Set Upon BY
the Cinnamon.

The defense has had today hi the
Circuit Court in the Kahuku murder
case. Altogether four witnesses. all
Japanese, have been examined Their
testimony in brief, has been that they
heard the cry of their comrades. from
the Chinese quarter, for help: that
they ran over and were set upon by
the Cinnamon. They are endeavoring
to establish that they were acting in
self defense in the fight. No denial
is made of the killing and woumding
The testimony of the Japanese has
been remarkably similar. Each
claimed to have been moved by the
same impulse that of answering the
haul in" of their comraues. They
say, also, that the Cinnamon did show
fight from the outset.
1t is hardly possible that the case
will be finished before Friday. A day
or more will be taken for argument.

WILL BOARD TRANSPORTS
PORT PHYSICIAN TO WATCH FOR
SMALL PON.
Appearance of Disease at San Fran
cisco Alarms Local Board of Health
The Case of the Grant.

Hereafter all transports arriving at
this port will be boarded outside by
the port physician. This will effect
ships from san Francisco as well as
the Orient. It is quarantine meas
ure.
An important special meeting of the
board of health was held this morning
at which the matter was fully discus
sed. 1t was the unanimous conclusion
that the order should be given to take
effect from today.
Heretofore the board of health has
trusted to the surgeons on board of
transports in the matter. \ few
weeks ago, however. the Grant went
into San Francisco with small poN on
board. Nothing was known of the
disease until it appeared at the Presi-
dio. Then the Grant and also the
Sherman were Uuarantined.
This appalling neglect of the sur
geons on the Grant thoroughly alarm
ed the local authorities. \ confer
ence was held with DR.. Carmichael
local head of the United States marine
service. and ne agreed that the city
would be justified in taking all pre-
cautions.
The reason for boarding transports
from San Francisco is the danger that
the disease may spread at the Presi-
dio. In case soldiers with small poN
do arrive here on transports they will
be comfortably quartered in quaran-
tine and the vessel will he kept out

OPIUM BROWN ARRIVES.
TURNS UP SUDDENLY FROM THE
ORIENT
Dan Vida is on the Dope Schooncs,
Which is Now Fifty Days Out.
Supposed to be Near the Islands.

Velocity" Brown, otherwise known
as opium Brown No. q" is in town
from Hongkong. His schooner which
has the dope-and also Dan Vida-on
board, is now exactly fifty days out
from the China port. She is therefore
very close to the Islands, If, indeed, she
has not already touched somewhere.
Brown boarded the Gaelic at Yoko-
hama. At that port he admitted having
sent schooner to Hawaii. She was
then thirty-six days out. There was
no denial of the fact that she was load
ed with opium. Dan Vida, the man In
whom the town centers most interest,
was aboard, said the owner of the
schooner.
When they read this Vida's friends
will be on the watch out for that gen
tleman. He may turn up first at Pearl
harbOr, Nihau or KahOolawe. A second
man to Brown is, of course, in charSe
of the schooner. 1t is not believed Vida
knows much about the expedition, IT'S
objects or the cargo aboard. The sec
ond man will land Vida at some out of
the way place and them tell him there
is a good road to Honolulu, either by
land or by steamer, as the case may
be-
Brown is retiCent about the cruise Of
his schooner He refused to talk of the
matter to w. II. Cornwell on the voyage
over from Yokohama. In town this
morning he was much in hurry, hav-
ing a great deal of business before him.
All the men in the deal" were to be
seen.
Dan Vida left here nearly a year ago
to go around the world. He got sick
of sea travel before the Orient was
reached and decided to return. Browns
schooner was fitting out for Honolulu
and he took passage aboard of her.

NO SHOW FOR THEM.
One Jury Will Not Sit in the Bald Head
Row Tonight.

The jury in the Kahuku murder case
won't sit in the bald head row at the
show tonight, and some one in the jury
room has sixteen good seats to sell at
less than So each. 1t is needless to say
that the men who have the destiny Of
the japanese rioters in their palms are
hot.
At noon today, Judge Perry informed
the jury, in the solemnest of his solemn
tones, that he could not permit them
to visit the theater He suspected that
the Supreme court would object to the
proceedings, and could not allow it,
There was a hush over the jury. The

merce. It is a lengthy affair, covering
all the details of the subject. The

recommends that $4,000 be placed
the disposal of the commission. TINS
is to be raised partly by contrtbuubn
of the chamber and the Planters as
sociation and partly by populaF Sub
scription.
