The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-02-16

An interview with Mr.. Imanishi of the
Yokohama Specific Bank throws con-
siderable light upon the rat question
He argues with considerable force that
it is not among goods that we should
look for the Introduction Of the plague,
but that 1t came to us from rats on the
Chinese or Japanese steamers.
To support his view Mr.. Imanishi
cites Singapore, a place with a singu-
larly mixed population, largely Asiatic,
to which vessels from Hongkong and
Bombay are constantly coming and
bringing in large quantities of goods,
yet Singapore has for years been free
from plague, while both the ports which
have been supplying the city with goods
are infected, This freedom from plague
he attributes to the fact that Singapore
has exterminated it's rats and keeps
steamer rats out by offering a high
bounty for every rat caught.
If this theory is correct and it GER
tainly is very plausible, there does not
Turk so much danger in merchandise as
has been thought. But it is open 10
reply that If rats have introduced the
plague here, they should have done the
same thing in San Francisco. It is
true that the rats on board vessels are
now destroyed in that port, but a few
months ago vessels from China deliver
ed their freight without fumigation,
and rats could easily have got ashore.
Why should plague bearing rats land
at Honolulu and not in San Francisco.
But there is no use enquiring into this
We know that rats do carry infection,
we also know that goods carry infection
What we have to do is to destroy the
rats and to very carefully disinfect the
it necessary.

GOOD ADVICE.

The Japanese Labor Agencies, follow
ing the lead of Consul General Saito
have published and caused to be cir
culated a very sensible letter of advice
to their countrymen upon the planta-
tons. Nothing could be more timely or
better than this communication.
In a few we'll chosen words the
agents point out to the laborers that the
various restrictions which must of ne
cessity be enforced by Board of Health
agents and the managers of plantations
are as much for the benefit of the la
borers as they are for the benefit of the
owners Of the estates. To Loyalty carry
out such orders thoroughly in the in
terest of the laborers. That the restric-
tons will be irksome is freely stated,
but that they must be obeyed is forcibly
argued.
1t is highly creditable to these Japa-
nese firms to have taken the stand they
have. Advice given in such terms, and
appealing to the self interest of the
laborers themselves is pretty sure to
be followed. Without such advice there
might have been considerable discon-
tent displayed which even might have
led to disorder, which, with our Other
troubles bearing heavily upon US, would
| be an additional i'll to already vel
laden backs.

BOER WAR.

The news from South Africa though
not decisive is certainly encouraging
for the British. Butler is making a
strong forward movement and has es-
tablished his artillery on one of the
hills across the Tugela. His aim is
to march his force up the valley domi-
mated on one side by Val Krantz and
on the other by Doom Kloof. The for
mer he has occupied, but the latter is
still in the hands of the Beers and to
drive them from that position must
now be his chief aim.
The fact that up to the date of the
steamers sailing the British had been
able to hold on to what they had gain
ed is certainly very hopeful, and the
position during the next twenty four
hours would turn upon Buffers ability
to send up supports. That there will
be difficulty in this is evident, for the
BOer artillery on Doom kloof evidently
not only commands the flank of an
army marching up the valley, but It
also commands the passage of the river.
Thus the whole effort must be concen-
trated upon gaining possession of Doom
Kloof.
The attack upon General Gatacre
which was foreshadowed in the tele-
grams which were received by the Aus
tralia has apparently been delivered
without success, for the Beers have
been repulsed by the troops under that
4.
Chief and Lord Kitchener are doing
does not seem to be known, beyond the
fact that they have started to the
front. Lord Roberts has before shown
his skill in concealing the movements
of his troops, and perhaps he is giving
fresh sample of it. At all events ac-
tivity through the whole line is coin
cident with the advance of the two
generals from Capetown.
Nothing strikes one more forcibly in
the description of the fighting in South
Africa than the immense distances at
which engagements are fought, and the
accuracy with which shell fire can be
directed. In the attack upon Gatacre's
forces the Boer artillery fired from a
distance of 5000 yards, or three and
three-quarter miles, and the shells all
fell within a radius of thirty yards.
This is practically fighting with an I'M
seen foe. Other guns are said to have
a range of 10000 yards or about So
miles.
The effect of a more promising out
look for the war has been felt on the
Stock exchange where securities have
become a great deal firmer. This is a
surer barometer than even a generals
dispatches, because in some way or
other the money market manages to
get news even before the War office
does.
Altogether, those who favor England
in the present war must feel very much
encouraged, and while the task before
Butler may be too great for his
strength, there seems every prospect of
his making a success at last.

RAT DIFFERENTIATION.

In Japan they have evidently thor
oughly made up their minds that the
rat is the most dangerous disseminator
of plague. With that fact in view a war
of determination has been declared and
has been crowned with considerable
success. The authorities pay for the
rats destroyed and attend also to the
cremation of their bodies.
Our crusade which will commence to-
morrow it is to be hoped will prove
more successful even than the one car
ried on in Japan. Not only should We
attack the rats in the infected district
of Honolulu, but as soon as possible
we should have the war upon them
carried into the country districts. The
rat is a most prolific creature, and
whatever we may do in the city it will
be hard to prevent fresh colonies com
ing in from the country. The premium
On dead rats should not be confined to
the city but should be offered for places
outside the district.

The account of the savin~ of William
Adamson, which was published in The
Star of yesterday, was one of the most
thrilling nautical stories, published for
a long time. The fact that a man was
saved from a watery grave who could
not swim, in the dead of night seems
almost incredible. The writer has been
frequently at sea, has had considerable
boat work at critical times and can
thoroughly appreciate the conditions Of
the rescue. 1t was simply marvel Of
executive skill on the part of Captain
Pritchard of the British ship Glennes-
slim and a wonder Of determination on
the part of the boats crew. There have
been plenty Of similar cases in the an
nails of this port where the poor devil
of a sailor has been allowed to drown
as best he might, even when the bright
sun was shining, let alone the condi-
tons Of the impenetrable darkness of
a tropic stormy night.

Something should be done for the
Island of Molokai The epidemic Of
fever continues unabated and there is
certainly lack of proper medical aid
and even of medicine. This is a con-
dition of affairs which should be rene
died as soon as possible. With the dis
organization of steamers which has fol-
lowed on Honolulus being an infected
port, communication with Molokai has
been seriously interrupted. If it is
found impossible to send a physician,
an intelligent man or two might be sent
TO distribute medicines for fever and
dysentery. Certainly the Island should
have assistance.

The Postmaster at San Francisco has
written Mr.. Dat that if the mail was
fumigated at this end it would be more
likely to be disinfected quickly in San
Francisco. The San Francisco man is
evidently laboring under a mistake, for
the Honolulu postal authorities have
fumigated every mail sent up, have
had the approval of Consul General
Haywood and DR.. Carmichael as to
their methods, and have forwarded
certificate with each mail. What more
can be done?

The hospital ship Maine, which was
fitted out by American ladies resident
in England has reached Durham and
has been a great success. 1t is only in
recent years that the hospital ship has
aOeen developed. The United States led
the way in the war with Spain, and
every country is now following in her
wake. Properly fitted hospital ships are
a boon to an army operating far from
home

The rat crusade will begin on Satur-
day, and it is to be hoped that it may
prove effectual. We need the festive
rodent reduced to zero if it Is possible,
and as rat poison is as effectual for
mice as it is for rats, we may get rid
of the smaller rodent also. If we could
only get rid of cockroaches, mosquitoes
and fleas, the Islands would be verl-
table paradise.
