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 net
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 report to the Health Office and
smuggled the patients from one section
to another. In one room in Chinatown
which had been visited by the inspect
ors very often was found sick China
man who had been kept in hiding for
several days. The Chinese seem 10
think that if case of sickness is found
in their house or place of business tae
quarantine will be placed around them
and they Immediately devise plans to
get rid of the patient.
Considerable opposition toward the
Chinese Consul and Vice Consul has
been manifested for several days, and
despite the advice of the Consul the
Chinese continue concealment as be-
fore, mrch to the evaporation of Pres
