PANIC IN HONOLULU,
A Reign of Terror Exists because of
Snraad NJ Ruhnnip

Sprtd0 OF
Advices from Honolulu brought by
the steamer Miowera are to the effect
that thirtynine deaths have thus far
occurred at Honolulu from bubonic
plague, and that reign of terror ex
lists in that city. One white woman
was among the victims. The Miowera
brought neither mail nor passengers
from Honolulu, off which port she an
chored for a short time. The Homo
lulu officials reported inter-island trade
as paralyzed. Hilo has so effectively
barricaded its doors against the intro
duction of the disease that its pro-
tective force has orders to shoot any
one attempting to Geek steamers from
Honolulu. A pa c prevails and the
danger is vastly intensified by the
popular terror. Dr.. Cooper of the
Honolulu board of health is reported
to have burned ten blocks of buildings
to stop the spread Of the disease. Thir-
ty-four hundred Japanese are under
quarantine.
