Duuud1 tOuIlHitH " llFt uD " lbf
reputation as a day on which plague
cases are wont to occur. Another case
OF plague was discovered yesterday
morning in a cottage among some Chi
nese stables on the Iwilei road, makai
side OF the Oahu prison.
About 10 O'Clock in the morning DR..
Miner was summoned TO see All Jan,
male Chinaman, 20 years old. He
found the man on the road leading 10
the slaughter house in the cottage
above described, examined him and
came to the conclusion that the case
was very suspicious one, and report
ed it Immediately TO the Board Of
Health.
BY noon All Jan had been removed
10 the pestbouse and shortly afterward
DR.. Wood and DR.. Hoffman, examin-
ed the patient. Although DR.. Hoff-
mann stated at that time that he was
not prepared TO say that 1t was case
of plague, subsequent statements made
by both Or. Hoffman, and DIR. Wood
make IL almost certain that the case Is
one OF plague. All Jan is In a very ex-
citable condition, his temperature
ranging from 1913 TO 103; he has been
given an injection of serum and Is on
ly partially conscious.
AS soon as the case was discovered
guards were stationed around the
premises from which All Jan was TAX
en-.
These premises are on the left-hand
side OF the road going towards the
slaughter house, only "A few hundred
yards beyond the jail. The buildings
for the most part are inhabited by Ha-
Waiians; Chinese stables are included
IN the lot and it was one Of the EN-
ployes of these stables who was taken
to the peSthoUse.
There was considerable discussion
among people around health headquar-
tiers yesterday as to whether DIR. Miner
would receive the 800 reward offered
by the Board OF Health for the report
OF genuine cases OF plague. This Is the
first case since the reward was offered
and much interest Is manifested. There
seems to be some doubt whether ply
sIcians are included among those ell
gibe to receive the reward.
1t was thought yesterday morning
that there were two suspicious cases
of sickness besides the above. One
turned out to be case OF delirium tre-
mems in "A very violent form and the
other proved to be nothing at all. DR.
lobe attended the case of drunk; he
had to go up Manoa valley TO find his
patient; Sam Kuaole was the man.
Kuaole Is an Hawaiian, 40 years old;
his sickness was first reported by
Minister Cooper. The sick man was
in most helpless condition, was I'M
conscious and pulse almost unnotice-
able. The other supposed suspicious
case proved no case; IL was reported |
from Kalihi valley.
