What is Hawaii? Hilo only? Ac-
cording to recent events, one would be
led to believe there are no other dis
tricts.
Since the outbreak of the plague in
Honolulu orders were issued from HilO
concerning the other districts which
were in direct opposition to action Ia
ken by committees appointed in differ
ent districts.
The Mauna Loa arrived here on the
Sth with a cargo of merchandise and
fOrty-four Japanese laborers for the
Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Com
pany. The japanese having been in
quarantine since December 4th, they
had permission from the Board of
Health of Honolulu to embark for Ha-
wall; also had the approval of the local
agent of the Board of Health to land.
But here comes orders from Hilo to
put the japanese in quarantine, where
they still are, and will be probably un-
til the 10th, when we expect orders that
the quarantine Is raised.
The next order was that all vessels
should go to Hilo to be fumigated. per
haps Hilo thinks nobody is capable of
fumigatIng but her people.)
The following day another order was
issued that no vessels from Honolulu
should be allowed to touch on Hawaii
for ten days.
A few days afterwards the Kinau ar
rived in Hilo with a general cargo,
among which was rice and potatoes.
They held meeting and decided to
break into the cargo and land the rice
and potatoes. Why such discrimina-
ton? Is 1t because the Hlo merchants
do not order rice and potatoes direct?
The residents of Kona and Kau could
stand this no longer. Meetings were
called in different parts of the respect
i've districts protesting against the ac-
ton of the Hiloites, and the people
have asked the Board of Health of Ho-
nolulu, in which we have the utmost
confidence, and are willing to trust, to
deal directly with us.
The following resolutions, from
meeting held at Pahala on the 9th,
have been forwarded to the Board of
Health of Honolulu:
Whereas, we, the citizens of Pahala,
this day in convention assembled, rec
ognize and deplore the existence of the
Dld6ut III IlOuolulu, anu
Whereas, we recognize the existence
of Board of Health for the Hawaiian
Islands and the supreme authority
vested in 1t by its creator, the Gov
eminent of Hawaii, and
Whereas, we are convinced the said
Board has the sanitary interest and
prosperity Of all sections OF the Islands
equally at heart, and we repose in the
ability of the said Board the utmost
confidence; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That it Is our desire to CO.
operate Loyalty with said Board, and
that we intend to act rigidly in accord
ance with its directions; that 1t Is our
desire that the said Board should deal
directly with us, of Kau, rather than
through any subordinate channel,
where judgment may yield to fear, or
inability guide and cause us unneces-
sary sanitary precautions, and injuri-
GUS commercial restrictions; therefore,
be 1t further
Resolved, That It is our opinion that
the officers of this Island are subservi-
ent to the Board of Health; That they
have no power to create laws and rules
for the government of quarantine, and
we request the Board of Health to de-
prive them Of their authority in such
matters"

President Dole Talks.
While speaking with a representa-
tive of the Advertiser yesterday after
noon President Dole said, in referring
to the reported trouble at Hilo on the
arrival of Attorney General Cooper,
that the Government had not received
any letters concerning the matter. All
that was known was what had been re-
ported upon the arrival of the Mauna
Loa.
In reply to a question, II he did not
consider the action Of Sheriff Andrews

central Government, he said that tech
nically 1t would no doubt have to be
considered such, but he added that In
