SINGLE SUSPICIOUS CASE
RECORD OF TODAY SEEMS VERY
SATISFACTORY.
Guard over Place in KuaNni Street.
Died Yesterday of Plague.

There is one case of illness today re-

man named Wong Chin, confined in the
pest house at the Chinese hospital. DR..

that the man had been sleeping with

QUESTION OF INSURANCE.
ANOTHER NUT FOR BOARD OF
UNDERWRITERS.
Fire of Saturday Evening Presents Two
Vexatious Problems-Cases Will Go
To The Companies.

Another complicated insurance ques-
ton is before the underwriters. 1t
grows out of the fire of Saturday night.
1t is generally admitted that the blaze
was accidental, as the policies so rec
kon. But some of the agents say the
premises had been condmned by the
Board of Health and would have been
burned anyway, and that the COM
panies should not be made to pay SIM
ply ebcause an accident intervened.
The fire was not one of the Board of
Health. Should the Board of Health
be made to pay for purely accidental
burning, even though the buildings had
been condmned by it as being insani
tary? There will certainly be an in
teresting squabble over damages for
the property between Aala road and
Aala lane.
With the property on the town side
of Aala lane there is not so much
question. Most insurance men agree
that the burning of those houses was
accidental, though others say they
would have been burned anyway when
the Board of Health fired the shacks on
the other side of the lane.
The topic was one that interested
insurance men most yesterday. 1t has
also been generally discussed today.
The insurance men have decided to
submit the questions to the underwri-
ters at San Francisco and also to the
home offices of the various companies
! for settlement.
1t is true that there is not much in
surance in the burned district, but the
principal is one that needs to be settled
as it may arise again at any time. The
case of Chinatown is different, as there
the fire got away from the department
after a block of condmned houses hat
been officially fired.

SAFES BEING OPENED.
Valuables of the Sing Chong Company
in Good Condition.


Sing Chong & Company, wholesale
merchants and rice factors, who were
burned out at the corner of King and
Maunakea streets in the disastrous fire
of Saturday week, have opened a tenn
porary office in the Campbell block
next door to the American bank There
five safes of the McNeale & Urban pat
tern, taken from the house mentioned,
are being opened.
The first safe is a big one of five tons.
1t was opened without difficulty. Every
thing inside was absolutely intact. In
this safe was the money on hand,
amounting to over $1,000, and all of the
company's valuable papers and records.
Number safe held the jewelry of the
family, hastily bundled together and
thrown in as the fire approached. There
were also valuable papers and books
in this safe. Not a thing was even
scorched. Number 8 safe, of about one
ton, also contained papers and copies
of accounts. Absolutely nothing was
damaged.
Number 4 safe, which is quite small,
was slightly damaged by a fall during
the fire which injured the combination.
1t will probably have to be broken open
Number has not yet been touched
but appears to be in good condition.
Hong Quon, manager of the Sing
Chong Company, has charge of the new
office in the Campbell and is taking
charge of the valuables as the safes
are opened. A. c.. M. Robertson is
opening the safes. He is assisted by A.

WHAT C. 7. HENSHALL SAID
HE REPLIES TO SECRETARY BAL
LOU.
The Stars Original Statement Support
ed-Article was not Published on the
Authority of Marshal Brown.

EDITOR STAR:-Secretary Ballou's
original statement was: This com.
mittee the Citizens Sanitary Commit
tee) is informed by the reporter of The
Star that the article in question (the
article concerning w. Johnson and his
alleged acts) was published on the auA
thortty of Marshal Brown" In his
communication to the Advertiser this
morning he says THE committee de-
sires to say that the statement in
question was made by George S. Hen
shall of the Hawaiian Star to e. D.!
Tenney, one of the committee on Fri
day, January 26, 1900, at II o'clock a. M,
at the headquarters of this committee"
: l did have a conversation with Mr..
Tenney at that time about the article
in question. 1 went to see Mr.. Tenney
not as a member of the Citizens Com
mittee, but because l had found that
he had been present when Mr.. John
son was confronted with the charges
made by the Chinese storekeepers. AS
a reporter of The Star investigating
the case, it was naturally my duty to
get a statement from Mr.. Tenney, who
had also Investigated the case. 1 Sc
cured such a statement of the facts,
and it was duly published in The Star.
1 did not, however, say "the article
was published on the authority of Mar
| shall Brown" for the very good reason
| that 1t was not written or published on
the authority of Marshal Brown. 1 did
say to him that those statements Gre
dited in the article as statements of
Marshal Brown were in fact Marshal
Browns statements. Mr.. Tenney ex-
pressed surprise with some mixture OF
Indignation that I should have written
statements which he, Tenney, believed
erroneous, and seemed to think 1 had
done something wrong. 1 replied thai
1 thought myself fully justified in max
ing statements on the authority of the
head of the police department
The conversation was a general one
but on my part went no further thar
a reiteration OF what the article com.
planned of itself said, namely, that
such statements in it as were credited
to Marshal Brown were in fact hi:
statements. 1 did not say that the arti
Gle was published on the authority o
Marshal Brown. I went no fartne
than the article itself did, and 1 hav
no doubt if Mr.. Tenney will recall ou
conversation he will agree with me-
