President Cooper said last night with
reference to the Chinaman who was at
first reported to have come across the
Pail from Kaneohc: Il am pretty well
satisfied that The Chinaman did not
come from Kaneohe. We nave traced
him back to Chinatown, but are not
quite sure of his location there. There
win, consequently, be no quarantine
guard placed at the Pail, unless a gem
eral outbreak occurs, in which case n
strong guard will be stationed there"
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth said:
THE man who died at Pawaa, came
from Hong Chong's store between Ke-
kaulike and River streets since the
quarantine was raised. The Chinaman
who died at Palama did not come from
Kaneohe, and has not been there for
two years. This is the result of my in
vestigation begun last night"
At the Board of Health meeting
Monday night it was decided by the
Board to offer bounty of ten cents a
head for rats from any part of Homo
lulu. This action of the Board was
brought about by the statements of the
medical members that rats carried the
plague infection from ships to the
shore, and that it would be wise plan
to kill off all the rats in Honolulu as
soon as possible.
The following inspectors report,
showing the ownership of much of the
property in his block, shows the pres
ence of inaccessible interiors of blocks
which will prevent it from becoming
thoroughly cleansed unless radical
changes are made in the entire block
1t reads:
AS inspector for Block 10" between
Fort and Nuuanu street, Chaplain Lane
and Hotel street, have the honor to
make the following report:
Naturally Nuuanu street presented
the chief problem. The sanitary con-
dition of these houses Occupied by
Chinese and Japanese-chieny Chin
ese) is bad, though probably not as
had as in many other districts.
The houses are very old, and from
Chaplain Lane to the brick buildings
owned by the Mclean Estate (with the
exception of the corner occupied by All
Lo) are rickety and unsafe, badly
lighted and crowded. The worst are
the makai portions of the Silveira
property-that owned by j. w. Austin,
and property owned by Messrs. Gear
and Harrison.
The cesspools are entirely inacces-
sible. and although in most cases not
running over are malodorous beyond
remedy, and there is no available space
to dig fresh cesspools.
Fortunately the remedy is easy and
natural. The widening of Nuuanu
street condemns every one of the OBJ
jectionable buildings, and with the en-
forcement of sanitary building regu-
lations and the new sewage system,
there should be no trouble.
| would respectfully recommend that
the widening of the Nuuanu street be
undertaken as soon as the required
legal steps will permit However, in
the opinion of many besides the writer,
the block is too large even In view OF
the proposed widening Of Chaplain
lane.
Hoping that the Board will see its
way clear to take action in both of the
above recommendations, ! am,
Yours very respectfully

NAVAL REPORT
The 0lympia's Surgeon
on Plague,
Bubonic Deaths Not Constant in 0c-
currence and Number Shown
by Official Figures.

The appended report of 4. r. Price.
y. 5. Naval Medical Inspector, written
from the L. S. Flagship Olympia Is
noteworthy as IL bears directly upon
the plague at present in Honolulu.
People are prone to believe that the
plague, when once II gains a foothcld
in a community. will sweep of the in
habitants by hundreds. 50 deeply is
the opinion settled in their minds that
they are 10th TO believe that the cases
of death reported so far in Honolulu
are bubonic, merely because so many
days interviewed between the first and
recent deaths The Medical Inspectors
report mentioned was incorporated in
the annual report of the Surgeon Gem
eral Of the IT, S, Navy to the Secretary
of the Navy, 1899 and the report is as
follows:
"PIasue:-The bubonic plague was
present at Hongkong when the ship ar
rived there February Ion, and the
number of cases was increasing daily
in spite of the isolation of the sick
and energetic disinfection of houses
and personal effects. The record was
as follows: January s, two cases;
January 10, no case; January %, two
cases; January 30, two cas- S; February
., five cases; February -, five cases;
February 10, nine cases; February &c,
forty-seven cases; March 5, TWEEN
ty-two cases; March u, sixteen cases;
March 10, thirty cases; March 20, for
ty-two cases; April 2, forty-two cases;
April Q, one hundred and six cases;
April 16, ninety-seven cases; April 20,
one hundred and twenty-seven cases
1t appears that during May and June
the epidemic reached its highest point
about forty cases daily. Quite num-
Der of fatal cases occurred among non
Asiatics. The disease is extremely
fatal in the Chinese, the mortality be-
ing from eighty-five to ninety-fve per
cent
1T is thought that the rate of NOR
tally is somewhat lower in Europeans.
There was a severe epidemic of this
disease at Hongkong in 1894, and
more serious one in 1896. The disease
in each of those years was compare
lively limited in extent until April or
May, when it assumed an epidemic
form and lasted until about the end of
June"

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST
BUBONIC PLAGUE

: Plague germs flourish in filth,
: in garbage and in damp, dark or
r foul places. Sunlight and pure
r air are destroyers of plague
: germs.
r Keep clean; wash the hands
: often, and battle frequently.
: All cuts and scratches should
r be covered, preferably with adj
+ hesive plaster.
r Eat fresh and well-cooked
r food.
r All cases reported here since
r the plague appeared, with one
r exception, developed inguinal
r buboes, logically pointing to in
T lection from the lower extremi-
: ties. The victims were also per-
r sons accustomed TO go barefoot.
r 1t Is the opinion OF DR.. Kita-
r sato, the celebrated plague spe-
r cialist, that where the ingulnal
r glands were affected the infec-
r ton came from the feet. There
r fore, do not go barefoot; 1t Is
T dangerous to go barefoot In
I times like this; wear shoes.
I Destroy rats and other YER
min. Medical experts agree that
+ rats carry and spread the in
+ lection broadcast and are the
+ principal source of danger. De-
r stroy all the rats and vermin on
+ your premises and the danger of
plague will become less.

They then undertake TO prove that
no one is authorized to teach, preach,
or administer the ordinances except
the Mormon priesthood. By their

Scripture, they "prove" that the Chris :

the church did 80 apostatize, that the
