Won Chin a Plague Victim.
At o'clock Saturday afternoon Dr
Garvin announced that the cultures
from the blood OF Wong Chin at tbs
meteorological station were examined
microscopically and proved the pres
ence of typical plague bacilli. A whit
ish, cloudy substance like fungus was
also noticeable in the culture tubes,
showing where the bacilli were grow
ing. Upon this proof President Wood
made an official announcement that the
second employe from the Pantheon sa-
loon and stables premises had died of
plague, and the premises were ordered
quarantined.
Shortly after o'clock Saturday aft
ernoon President Wood, accompanied
by several health guards, appeared at
the corner of Fort and Hotel streets,
and before the inmates of the stable
had an inkling of what was imminent,
they were hemmed in. The employees,
numbering seven, were taken from the
stables and escorted to quarantine.
The saloon and all the entrances to it
were closed and the stables were
placed under surveillance. A large
crowd collected in the street when the
quarantine was placed upon the cor
ner, but were moved back from the
scene by a guard of mounted police
under the orders of Marshal Brown,
who personally took charge of closing
up the two buildings.

the corner of Hotel and Nuuanu

burnt district be pumped out as soon
as convenient.
Mr.. Hatch offered the following reso-
luton in regard to the merchandise
stored in Aala warehouse, which was
visited by the Board on Saturday
morning:
Whereas, there are now stored in
the Aala warehouse large quantities of
merchandise which was removed from
the infected blocks prior to the fire of
January Goth, and also many parcels
of personal effects also taken from said
blocks, and there is reason to believe
that said goods and effects are infected
with plague and from their nature it
would be difficult by any treatment
short of destruction by fire to render
the same harmless to reasonable cer-
tainty; and whereas, 1t has been re-
commended by the merchants COM
mittee That an appropriation OF SlUO,-
600 be asked for to pay &C 2-3 per cent.
of the value of said goods, 80 per cent.
of the owners of the same having sig
nifled their willingness to accept said
percentage in full of all claims; and
whereas, in the opinion of the Board
the public safety requires that said
goods and effects, other than hardware,
sewing machines, and other goods
which can be effectually fumigated,
should be destroyed
Resolved, that the Executive Coun-
ell be requested to ask the appropria-
tion of the Council of State of the sum
of 100000 for the purpose of paying
&c 2-3 per cent. of the value OF such
goods and effects, as determined by
appraisement, and of paying for such
other merchandise as may be destroyed
by order of the Board of Health" Mo-
tion carried.
A protest was received from ]. l.. Nc
Lean, agent for Mrs. Grey, against the
destruction of her property. No ac-
tion was taken.
Mr.. Smith moved that the President
instruct an agent OF the Board of
Health to destroy all personal effects
and other merchandise stored in the
