DID HE LEAVE HERE OCTOBER
1899?
There Was Such a Man Who Core

mores Unwelcome Companion.

Perhaps the "Rev. David Brown" the
Honolulu preacher" who was with
Lieutenant Gilmore, prisoner in the
hands of the Filipinos, is Dave"
Brown, fluent with tongue and pen who
left here as an employe in the engineers
department of one of the transports
for Manila in October, 1898.
Dave" Brown came here from sgd
ney and roomed for a while at Mrs.
Cowes' on Hotel street. Soon after
coming here he fell in with some of the
machinists employed by the Honolulu
Iron Works, and being of good address
and companionable and claiming to be
a machinist, they secured employment
for him at the Iron Works as a machln-
ist He worked there only two or three
days however because it was soon dis
covered that beyond considerable intel
ligenCe and some natural mechanical
aptitude, he was not a machinist at all.
He did not remain in Honolulu very
long, but while he was here he created
the impression on those who became
acquainted with him that he had had a
varied career, had followed many OCCu-
pations and none of them for long, and
from some things he said it was believ-
ed that he had at one time tried preach

sion made it to his seeming advantage
He wrote once to Mrs. Cowes soon
after he arrived in Manila, regarding

was to pay through her. He said he
was tending bar in saloon there and
was simply coming money but that he
had no way of sending any to her, but
would send it as soon as he found a
way. He seems never yet to have founC
a way, and has never written another
letter.
He was of an active, restless tenn
permanent, but lacking constancy anc
perseverance, and those who know hin
think he is just the kind of man VIII,
would be led by his restlessness to &,

CAPT. CHAMBERLAIN EXPECTS
PILIKIA.
Says Local Shipping Masters Have Al
ready Laid Wires to Tie Up His Ship
al the Sound.

Captain Chamberlain of the ship Po-
seldom is expecting trouble for his ves-
sci at the Sound, as a result Of the part
he took here in the case against the
shipping masters Turk Il Lewis The
captain has an idea that there is a sort
of a shipping masters union that will
seek to get revenge for his acts, and he
says that he has been informed that the
local men have written to shipping
masters on the Sound, asking them to
see that the Poseidon has plenty of pi-
likia. The idea is to make her men de-
sert and then see that she does not get
another crew, thus tying up the vessel.
The report that the shipping men
against whom l made charges of steal
ing members of my crew have written
to the Sound to make trouble for me,
comes from a captain now i'm port said
Captain Chamberlain. 1T is stated that
l shall have my men enticed away from
my vessel, and that the boarding house
men will see that / do not get another
crew. In this way they think they can
tie up my vessel for some time and thus
cause a heavy loss of money.
"As l know what to expect 1 shall be
ready when l get to the coast. 1 do not
think any of my men will leave the YES
sci anyhow. The Poseidon is a good
ship and l think they will want to stay
with her They have had experience
with the swindles perpetrated by ship

BRIBERY AND Ot-ARANTTNE.

Several cases of bribng Board Of
Health inspectors in the quarantine
district have been discovered and verv
vigorous efforts are being made to Sc
cure conclusive evidence against the
offenders, and to bring them to justice.
In the Chinese stables on Maunakea
street near Beretania where a Chinese
was found dead of plague the other
morning, there were, about a month
ago as many as twenty Chinese living.
However when the body of the Chinese
was found all had scattered. During

tiously came back and were corralled
and from information furnished by

MONEY FOR PAYMENT OF FIRE
CLAIMS.
Merchants Committee and Board of
Health Appeal to Council of State.
Session This Afternoon.

The Merchants Committee met with
the Board of Health this morning and
presented a resolution asking that $780,,
900 be set aside at once for the purpose
of paying damages to those whose
losses in Chinatown were innocently
acquired. 1t was insisted that the work
of stamping out the plague might be
blocked by court proceedings unless
something tangible was done along this
line.
The Board of Health took the posi-
ton that the work of stamping out the
plague must go on without interrupt
ion. At the same time it did not wish
innocent parties to suffer.
At 1O:3O the Board and the committee
adjourned to meet with the Cabinet on
the subject. President Dole presided
over the general conference. Views of
both the Board of Health and the mer-
chants committee were presented.
A resolution was finally offered call
ing the Council of State together for 3
o'clock this afternoon to appropriate
the sum of $780, to be used in the
settlement of claims for damages for
property in Chinatown destroyed by the
Board of Health, that the work of
stamping out the plague may not be
hindered. The resolution passed by a
vote of four to one Mr.. Damon voting
against it.
1t was also voted that the Executive
Council recommend to the Board of
Health that efforts to remove the in
habitants of Chinatown to clean locali-
ties be redoubled; and that steps be
taken to erect a rat proof barrier
around that portion of the town deemed
infected

side was wiped out.
The blaze was started in a building
in the center of the block, back of Goo

ONE PLAGUE CASE TODAY
NATIVE WOMAN IN DETENTION
CAMP.
Victim Came From Infected Premises
on Merchant Street-One Suspect
Case Today.

There was one certain case of plague
this morning in the city. 1t developed
at the detention camp near the kero-
sene warehouse. The patient is ma
tive woman named Kaaua, aged 80.
She was taken from the Blue Gate
premises on Merchant street near Union
square on January 18th, thus develop
ing the disease in six days from the
time of her removal. Two days ago
she was taken with a fever. Last night
the case was considered suspicious and
this morning positive indications of the
disease appeared. The woman was re-
moved to the pest hospital.
A. L. c. Atkinson, superintendent of
the station, says: I'VE have eight
corrals at the camp which is a great
| advantage, as l will presently show.
This woman lived in corral and was
entirely apart from the people in the
other Corrals For that reason there
need be no hesitancy in liberating those
whose times are about out"
DIR. Howard says: Il feel especially
| pleased now that the public dispensary
and my office therein were burned. This
| last case came from point only a few
feet away and 1 am convinced that that
whole block, now burned, was infect
ed"

Captain BlellOch, arrived this morning
from Seattle with 1000 tons of merchan-
disc for Honolulu. She left the Sound
on January 7th. The Bloemfontein has
the largest general cargo ever received
here. 1t consists mainly of lime, hay
and beer.
The Bloemfontein is one of the new
Seattle liners. She is to be kept on the

Smaller Island Vessels Kept in Com
mission-Hard Work for Employees of

The Kinau, Claudine and Moana Loa,
the three largest vessels of the island
fleet, will probably all be laid up as a
result of the stoppage of traffic with
Hilo The Kinau has already been an
coerhd in the stream to stay there in
definitely, only the captain and one or
two men being left on board, to look
after her. The Moana Loa is taking no
freight and unless the situation chang
es she will also be left idle. The Clau-
dine was due yesterday from her run
to Lahaina, Kahului and other ports.
She left several days late last week
and was at Maui when last heard from.
The company is considering the advis-
ability Of laying her off also.
The lesser island steamers will be
kept in commission. The Inter-Isand
company's steamers are still running to
Kauai, where there is a large quantity
of sugar to be shipped. Kauai has not
altered the rules first made for quaran-
tine. No one is allowed to go ashore
from the steamers, but the loading of
sugar goes on without interruption. The
Ke Au Hou leaves this afternoon for
Kilauea and Anahola. Some machinery
for the Kilauea sugar company was
placed on the steamer last night, from
the Australia, and this will be about all
the cargo taken from here.
! Work is being kept up almost night
and day on the Australia. Her firemen
coalmen and all the other available helT
have been put at work, with extra pay
to unload the vessel without the helT

House

An old German named Meyer has
been turned out Of his home in Nuuanu
valley by a man known as Won Crown,
