PLAGUE IN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
DR.. Carmichael Reports the Result o
m Extended Erin.


nm Extended Trip.
The surgeon general of the marine hos
pital service has received a report, dated
at Honolulu, summing up the plague stu
alton there and at KaIuhui on the Island
of Maui. and at Hilo. Hawaii. At Honolulu
he says that up to February 10 the situa-
ton looked promising. On that date three
new cases. all fatal. were reported-one
Hawaiian Chinese woman and two China
men. The infection in these cases is sup
posed to have been from Asatic foodstuffs
DR., Carmichael gives the results of the
observations of trip made by Consul Gen.
eral Haywood, President Wood of the
beard of health and himself to Kaluhui,
Maui and Hilo, Hawaii to look over the sit
uation at those places They started Feb
ruary il. At kaluhui the Inhabitants of
Chinatown, where the disease was discover
ed, had been moved to a detention camp,
Chinatown destroyed by fire and the dead
burned. No cases had developed since Feb
ruary 10, and the situation was well in
hand. Sugar is shipped directly from Kalu-
hui to San Francisco. All cargo is dis
charged and received in open bay. Com
plete arrangements were made for the ship
ment of the sugar direct from the planta-
tons to the landing place and thence to
the lighters so as to avoid as far as posi-
bic any danger of infection by the men en-
gagged OH lHe WOTk.
At Hilo the doctor found only one case of
plague reported-a Mrs. Serrao, the wife Of
Portuguese merchant, who kept a small
store near the water front. She was taken
ill on January % and died on February 5.
She had all the usual symptoms of plague
that closely resembled the bacilli of. bu-
bonic plague. The body of the deceased
woman was buried. surrounded by cooked
lime, near her residence The store and
dwelling where she lived was to be burned
The source of infection in this case had
not been traced and nothing had been
found that would Throw any light on the
matter, except that the store, in which she
sometimes served, was directely over the
mouth OF a sewer that received refuse from
Chinese quarters further up the town. No
other cases had been reported in HilO, so
far as was then known. The arrangement
for shipping sugar at Hilo without exposure
to possible infections are better than at
Honolulu or Kaluhui. There are no docks
discharged and received in open bay. Most
OF the sugar comes in the island steamers
some distance from Hilo and is transferred
directly to the vessel receiving it. In one
Instance, that Of what is called the Portu-
guese mill. situated in the city, orders were
given that no sugar be shipped from it IN
til all danger of infection is past.
The party returned to Honolulu Friday,
February 16 There have been SO few cases
lately, the doctor adds. that the anti-plague
serum has not had fair trial He con-
tinueS:
The Australia leaves for San Francisco
today with large list of cabin passengers,
all of whom have been under observation
for fifteen days before departure, and they
are all from healthy parts of the city. All
baggage has been disinfected by formalin

REFUNDING PREPARATIONS,
Plans Completed for Complying With
the New Currency Law.


the New Currency Law.
Treasury officials have completed plans
for complying with the currency or gold
standard measure which will pass Congress
in few days and become law with the
prompt signature of the President
The most important work will be the re-
funding of certain bonds for the new Q per
cents provided in the bill Those which can
be exchanged are follows: Four per cent
tonds, maturing in 1907. s-,i5, 345, 800; per
cent bonds maturing in 1904; So, OO9, 700: 3
per cent bonds, maturing in 1908, sl9S, 111, :
40
Holders of the old bonds will receive new
bonds to the face value of their possessions
and in addition certain premiums provided
by the law. These premiums will be such
as to make the new bonds pay "a per cent
interest to their maturity.
None Of the new bonds will be for sale by
the government, and the refunding will not
be compulsory. A circular telling how the
exchange may be made will be issued by
the treasury just as soon as the bill be-
comes law. The new bonds will not be
ready for those who first desire an ex-
change, but certificate will be given which
will call for bonds when printed. Designs
for the new bonds are under consideration
now by Secretary Gage and officials of the
bureau of engraving and printing.
1t Is apprehended at the treasury that
the banks will be most DESTROYS of making
the exchange for the new bonds. A per
cent bond will be as sufficient for them in
their dealings with the treasury as one
drawing greater interest The treasury will
also pay out large sums in premiums. This
will give the banks more money. If all the
bonds mentioned should be refunded pre-
NUNS amounting to sSS,OOO,OOO would be
paid out by the treasury, putting this much
money in circulation. 1t is not thought
however that near all of the bonds will be
refunded at this time Moreover, the treas
ury has large surplus on hand and can
meet the premium payments with ease and
without disturbing the ordinary business.
