In addition to the two cases of yes

is one case of probable plague and two
ordinary suspect cases.
The certain case of plague was a ma
tive boy named Maunakina, living at

days from Nuuanu street. He died at 2
o'clock this morning. DIR. Garvin at
tended the case. A post mortem was
held this morning and the conclusion
was that the case was plague.

anese on Hotel street near Nuuanu.
Drs. Kobayashi and Ogawa treated the
patient during last night and reported
the case this morning as one requiring
attention. DR.. Scaparone made care
full investigation. This afternoon he re-
ports that there is fever and symptoms,
but that the disease has not progressed
far enough to determine accurately.

discovered in a house at the corner o'
| Smith and Pauahi streets. DR.. Mitl-
mura reported the case. There was
every symptom of plague and the pat

Gus premises are now being guarded,
CHINESE CONsULS.
Consul Pin and Vice Consul Goo Gim

and discussed the situation with sew
eral prominent Chinese merchants. II

common horde of Chinese on the streets
paid no attention to them. not even
saluting when the official party passed d
Feeling between this element and the
ocnsuls is very strained, on account of
the effort of the latter to stamp out
the plague.
DIR. KOBAYASHI.

shi has Joined with the other doctors
in efforts to stamp out the plague. He

japanese colony and has very large
