ADVICE TO The JAPANESEI

The following circular has been sent
70 all the japanese of the plantations:
You are no doubt aware that the bu-
boniC plague has been existing in Ho-
nolulu since November last and has
caused many deaths. The Hawaiian
Government, with the cooperation of
citizens, has adopted strict measures
to prevent its spread and to stamp il
out.
We hear that cases of plague have
appeared in kahului, Maui, and also q
case in Hilo, Hawaii. This is very Sc
rious and is causing us great anxiety.
II the disease should reach the planta-
tons 1t will bring disaster and ruin
TO the Hawaiian Islands and will cause
you all TO suffer
You are requested to read the fol-
towing carefully and observe same:
!. The managers and health authori-
ties in order to prevent the disease
from spreading and reaching the plan
tatiOns, have adopted strict regulations.
This is not only for their interests, but
for yours as well, as your health and
welfare are concerned. You are ur-
gently requested to obey and carry out
their instructions and not to inter-
fere in any way whatever.
2. There will be rumoTs Of all kinds
emanating from different irresponsible
parties. You are requested not to be-
lieve in any of them. In order to get
authentic news or information, We
would advise you to go to the planta-
ton Office and enquire through the in
terpreter. You are requested not to go
in numbers, but to send a delegate or

is it at this time of distress and sick

plantation you may not be given per-
mission to return until the disease has
entirely disappeared.

sonal belongings, etc, that are CON
sidered dangerous and injected with
