Yesterday morning the denizens of
the Chinatown district awoke 10 find
themselves prisoners again under
quarantine. The military lines estab-
lished around the twice infected see
ton had been securely drawn by the
troops of the First Regiment at a. m.
and by Z o'clock the entire available
force of the regiment had responded to
/ Colonel Jones order. On Tuesday
evening when Minister Cooper was in
formed of the facts regarding the Chi
nese who died at the entrance to the
/ Chinese hospital, and the sick China
man who had been captured while
making an attempt to escape from Chi
natown, he decided that the Chinese
had broken their promise TO aid the
Board of Health, and declared the
quarantine should again be placed upon
/ the infected district
Colo. el Jones was telephoned for and
Minister Cooper acquainted him with
/ his resolution. Inside of an hour and
a half a sufficient number of the regi-
ment had assembled: orders were is
I sued for the posting of sentinels, and
/ attachments were sent to different
parts of Chinatown to surround it sim
ultaneously. At 2:30 a. m, and be-
fore any of the residents had an OPP
portunity to divine the presence of the
mil Nxrn- nffn
Colonel Jones is extremely gratified at
the ready compliance of the men.
Chaplain Lane and many of the yards
and alleyways behind the Waikiki side
of Nuuanu street were also guarded TO
prevent an exodus through the block
between Beretania and Hotel streets to
Fort
AS in the previous quarantine, house
servants and help were caught in the
meshes and only a few were able 10
produce passes early in the day TO re-
turn to their working-places. At an
early hour residents appeared at the
Health Office to apply for passes to
bring their servants out of the infected
district. In all cases Minister Cooper
required that new clothing for each
servant be sent TO the fumigatins sta
ton and the old clothing left behind.
Each servant was subjected TO a thor
ough fuGligation by Dr.. Pratt and his
increased corps of assistants and in
spectors.
Early in the morning the Chinese
who was caught at the corner of King
and River streets on Tuesday night
while making an attempt 10 escape,
died. and was pronounced. upon dag
nosis. as bubonic plague vietim-the
eighth since the plague made its APP
pearance. The body was brought up
from the Kakaako hospital, and a post
Flortem held by DR.. Kobayashi, assist
cd by DR.. Mort. The same swollen in
guinal gland was found, but there was
none of the bloody serum in the alb
dominal cavity found as in the prev
ious cases. From this clinical dag
nosis it was stated he had died of the
plague.
Maunakina, the native boy who died
in kewalo before daybreak, was also
subjected to a postmortem eXamina-
ton and pronounced a plague victim, |
the inguinal gland being swollen. Mi !
croscopic slides showed the presence
of hacilli. Maunakina is the ninth /
victim.
During the forenoon Il report came
in to the Health Office that a Chinese /
boy had died suddenly at Leong Suts /
rice plantation on Sheridan street, ma
kai OF the shacks where the Chinese ,
died on Monday last. The nearness OF |
the places caused some excitement and !
fear that the plague had broken out |
among the quarantined Chinese on !
Sheridan street. Upon a visit TO the |
house, it was found to be a small Chi /
nese boy, q pupil of Mr. Damon's /
school. The little fellow had been all /
ing for a week and had eaten very lit ,
tie in that time. No outward symp- /
toms of the plague were discoverable; .
there were no swollen glands, and the .
death was pronounced mot suspi- /
ciouS," much to the relief of the fam
lily.
\ Portuguese, who dropped dead on
Punchbowl street was also visited, but
there was nothing in the circumstances
of his death to pronounce it "suspi-
cious," and burial permit was given,
assigning the cause OF death 70 heart
failure.
The 94-year-old Chinaman who was
removed from Chinatown 10 the Chi
nese hospital during the early part of
the week was reported dead. DR.. Hoff-
mann pronouncing his death due TO
hernia, no plague symptoms being
found in the glands. Several Japan
csc sick reported by the japanese ply
sicians were visited, most OF them SUI
fering from colds and fevers. The
Japanese patient at Kakaako hospital
was getting along in splendid shape
yesterday. and seems to be on the
road TO recovery. The swollen gland
had been removed by DR.. Kobayashi,
which relieved the man greatly.
Said Minister Cooper last night:
Both from the sanitary and personal
inspection standpoints, I think we
have got the situation well in hand. Dr..
Pratt has strengthened his CORPS OF
and Judge Carter has So
