The Hawaiian named Aluli, who
died yesterday at Kalihi district, was
also examined at the morgue and cul-
tures were made from the contents OF
the glands usually infected. The body
was sent to the crematory.
In the case of the Chinese baby the
pnysicians have merely classed 1t as
Suspicious and have not yet decided to
remove the little one to the pest hos
pital. The femoral glands are appar-
emily swollen, but nothing definite had
developed in the case up to late hour
aast night, to make any change in the
classification.
At the pest hospital the patients are
progressing favorably, and great hopes
are expressed by the medical superin-
1endent that they will soon be entirely
out of danger. Mr.. Hartmann keeps
perfect control of his faculties and Is
cheerful at all times. No change for
the worse has occurred in his case
since his reception at the hospital.

moved last week from the Kerosene
warehouse camp to the pest hospital

are not willing to make any speclhc
statement as to the character OF his
disease. until further outward signs
become apparent. Although there are
more than two hundred persons held
at the detention camp awaiting de-
cision in Koalii's case, yet 1t Will be
necessary to hold them until the ply
ssicians can state definitely whether or
not he has plague. For the present he
is termed a suspect.
