Maui Wants a Mail.
Since the arrival of the Claudine on
The 25th no news of any kind has
reached Maui, and people are wonder
ing II the plague has decimated the
Capital City. 1t seems hard to be-
.leve that no opportunity to forward a
nail from Honolulu has arisen since
The Gath of February, but the fact re-
mains. A steamer landed Japs at
Maalaea bay last Thursday but brought
no mail.
The Centennial left for San Francis
co on Saturday with 1877 tons OF SUI

Released From Quarantine.
Yesterday, the 9th, about 200 Chinese
and Japanese were released from quar-
antlne at Camp Wood, having complet-
ed twenty-one days OF segregation
from the outside world. All of them
reused work at Kahului offered them
by the Kahului r. r. Co. at $l,25 day
and they also refused to go to Paia
where work on the plantation would
have been given them. Each was pro-
vided with a printed pass showing that
he had been regularly released from
quarantine.
