This does not affect the quarantine OF
those in the other corrals. This is the
third case to come from the block at
King and Richards streets, and, in
fact, from next door to the house from
which the japanese woman and baby
were removed.
With reference to the cases report
ed in yesterday mornings Advertiser.
10 which an afternoon paper referred
as being misleading, the only feature
which may have been in question is the
names of those suspected. A Chinese
case which was reported from Block
/ 10 is shown on the Health Office rec
ords under the name of Yen Fook, who
is now in the pesthouse Of the Chinese
hospital Instead of there being a
] Chinese baby, as was stated. however,
/ it turned out 10 be a Hawaiian baby
named KOlOmona. The data given
was all obtained from the Health Of
flee at late hour. possibly before the
/ physicians had fully verified names
and nationalities.
As to the case OF the Chinaman Ma
kong from Mlunake3 street. and whose
existence was denied in toto by the
evening paper, the reporter saw him
in the suspect ward al the pest .ospi-
/ tai on Thursday evening during his
visit there. The man was attended by
one Of the pest hospital nurses, Mr.
Scott, and the mans temperature Ia
ken while the reporter was in the
room. showed 102 and a fraction. DR..
HoRmann's report contains a full ac-
count OF the man, last night stating
that he had been sent into the deten-
ton camp.
| There were no deaths reported yes
terday, which, while not indicating
that the plague has been stopped in
its career, is very encouraging. Mrs.
Franz was reported last night from
the pest hospital as having a temporal
ltlre Of 1851, with no improvement in
her condition.
a native attendant named Kahilikoo
at the hospital, who was i'll on Thurs
day with cold. is reported as better.
His case is not at all suspicious.
! The japanese woman from the Ar
lington hotel, together with the jap
anese woman and child from Merchant
street, are all improving. The little
IChtnese boy from King street Is better.
Takauchi, the japanese from the KOba-
| yashi hotel, shows no change in his
| condition. Arthur Kamaumiumi. a
! Hawaiian from block Is. had a nigh
temperature last night, 105, but sleeps

DR.. Hoffman, states in his report
| that he noticed yesterday that the flies
at the hospital were dying in unusual
numbers. What the doctors reasons
| are for making this tatement Is not
quite clear, except that Il NAV be that
flies are susceptible to the Infection.
II this is so ii marks another interest
ing phase in the way in which the
plague infection can be carried from
district to district.
