HUNDREDS OF JAPANESE WITH
ARMS.
Sixteen Ringleaders Arrested-Labor-
ers Object to Clearing Land Under
Contracts for Field Work.

HILO, February 15.-The Hawaii Her
aid publishes the following:
There was a little difficulty among
the Japanese of the Olaa Sugar Co. on
Tuesday which resulted in sixteen of
them being brought to Hilo and lodged
in Jail. From information at hand the
trouble occurred in the division pre-
sided over by Mr.. Fuller and was the
outcome of the men declining to work
at clearing land when their contracts
provided for field work
One gang quit work with the intention
of calling on Manager McStocker. Tehy
marched in the direction of Mountain
View carrying their hoes and cane
knives and in passing other gangs at
work were Joined by them so that when
Mountain View was reached there were
several hundred in line. AS indications
pointed to a riot all the lunas from the
other divisions were called to head
quarters. Eleven men were placed un-
der arrest and sent to Hilo. Later in
day there was a recurrence of the trou-
BILE and Sheriff Andrews was telephoned
to for assistance. He left at 4:30 p. m.
with a posse including Frank Smith
as a special officer, reaching Mountain
View in about four hours. Five men
believed to be ringleaders in the diff
Guilty were arrested and brought to
Hilo and locked up and several of the
lunas came down yesterday afternoon
to appear against them as witnesses.
The presence of so many armed Jap
anese in the vicinity of the homes of
the white employees caused considerable
excitement. One Japanese called on
Mrs. Fuller and told her that her hus-
band had been killed and that the lab
orers would come to the house and kill
her. At least that is what the fellow
was supposed to have said. At all
events he thoroughly frightened the
lady and she went into the woods with
her child for the purpose of hiding. 1t
to the Fullers and had no intention of
| but the sixteen arrested returned to
work
! 1t is said that the laborers at 20 miles
persistently and after repeated warn
ings violate sanitary and other rules
and when detected have been given the
choice of being arrested as nuisances
or taking the alternative of being fined.
| The men have invariably taken the
latter course. japanese laborers on the
plantation say that those at 20 miles
are of the opinion that the arrest and
| conviction in Hilo of the Japanese last
week was without reason and that il
| the two lunas, Fuller and Giddings.
were out of the way their work would
| be easier and their freedom greater.
On Tuesday night the Japanese at the
| lower camp made an attempt to join
their countrymen further up the line
but were held at bay by Mr.. Won Grave
meyer and two other men until finally
they were pursuaded to go back to
| camp.

Q HAYWOOD SNME H SUSPECT @GB BIG STRIKE At AH ESTATE QNaH HU 70 THE RESCUE
DIR. WOOD REPORTS TO BOARD OF
HEALTH.
Considers Case Very Suspicious and
Regular Action Taken-Situation on
Maui Improved.

DIR. Wood, President of the Board of
Health, who returned from Hilo by the
Iroquois last night, believes that the
case of Mrs. A. G. Serrao, who died
there on the morning of February 9Th,
is very suspicious and before leaving
he gave instructions that the case be
treated as one of plague.
Before the Board of Health this
morning he detailed his trip and gave
an account of the case of Mrs. Serrao-
history, symptoms, etc. The state
ments of the physicians in charge were
also repeated.
"I consider that the case is very
suspicious one," said DR.. Wood, land
felt that the only thing to be done was
to treat it as case of plague. Upon
my orders the stores of A. G. Serrao
and the house in which the victim was
i'll ten days were destroyed by fire.
A rat proof fence had previously been
placed around the premises. The ditch
or town sewer was disinfected with
carbolic acid and the ground around
the Serrao store was treated to a solu-
tion of the same. In addition, the resi-
dents of the premises were removed 70
quarantine"
This action was approved by the
Board.
DIR. Wood also appointed a sanitary
committee of three members and gave
it full power to act in case of an emer-
gency. The members are c. c. Ken
nedy r. A. Lyman and DR.. w. l..
Moore. The action in appointing this
committee and giving it full powers
was unanimously approved.
Portions of the business section of
the town were found to be in a very
! insanitary condition. Buildings and
| sink arrangements were much as they
were at Kahului and fully as bad as in
- IL
pointed this out to the citizens and sug-
! gested to them a system of inspection
as in Honolulu and that owners be
compelled to put their premises in pro-
per shape.
"Hilo is not crazy" added Dr. Wood
Il found little or no unusual excite
ment and all the citizens seemed to be
working together for the common
good"
1--WE do not think Hilo is crazy" re.
torted George w. Smith, 'but an ele.
ment there has managed to force itself
to the front and create that impression
The intelligent conservative element
has never been unduly excited" Thes'
views were coincided in by the entlr,
Board.
At Kahulu health conditions were
found to be in good shape. DR.. Garvir
was doing excellent work. A. L. c. At
kinson had been left there to assls
him. There We're 200 people in the de
detention camp and all were found u
be in excellent health. most careful
watch was being kept over all of tn,
island, and indications were that tn,
situation was fully in hand. In thi
the Board had the most cordial ant
valuable assistance of the whole pOpu
lace.
DR.. Wood asked authority to appoIn
]. L. w. Zumwalt quarantine officer a
Kahului to inspect all shipments t
foreign ports and and to attest tn
same. So ordered
Mr.. Cooper moved that unless al
emergency occurs the Board adjourn [
p. m. Monday. Carried.

RATS AND PLAGUE.
Dr. Brewer Considers Rodents the
Great Source of Infection.

CHICAGO, February 5.-Dr Daniel
r. Brewer who spent several months
lately in the Hawaiian Islands has this
to say of bubonic plague:
There are many ways in which the
germ becomes infectious. 1t may enter
the bowels through the drinking water,
but / do not believe that is so common
as by the visits of vermin, and especi-
ally of rats and the rodent kind. The
bubonic germ is heavy and naturally
seeks, from gravitation, a low level.
Rats are especially suspectible to the
infection. as they seek dirt and filth
of all kinds, especially those kinds
which are favorites of the bubonic
germ.
"As a consequence I believe that the
principal danger of the germ reaching
the United States ports is through the
rats and mice aboard ships which come
from infected ports. l must say that
commendation is due the health Off
GERS, especially at San Francisco, for
the vigilance with which they watch
these migrating rodents. All rodents
are migratory and must be watched
closely. They swarm a ship in an In
fected port and are first noticed in the
landing port when they attempt to
leave the ship and reach the docks by
scaling the hawsers. In San Francisco
the health officers take particular note
of this, and every rat which attempts
to make a landing by a hawser signs
his death warrant by so doing.

STARTED FOR INvERNEsSHIRE
MEN.
Pilot Saunders Gets Back and Reports
All Safe on Board the Ship-Much
Anchor Chain in Danger.

The tug Eleu started yesterday after
noon to the rescue of the men who 1t
was feared had failed in their efforts
to reach the ship Invernesshire, but
just as she got outside the harbor she
met the schooner Surprise, towing Cap
tain Saunders life boat, with news
from the vessel whose drifting away
had caused so much trouble and un-
easiness. Captain Saunders reported
that Captain Evans and the men with
him had all reached the vessel and that
they were in no danger. The Eleu re-
turned with the Surprise and the pilot
boat.
Captain Saunders thinks that the In
vernesshire will lose both her anchors
and about $50 fathoms of chain. He
got to the vessel with the pilot boat
some time before the two shore boats
completed the dangerous trip. There
were no sails Set" he says land one
of the crew came to me and stated that
he represented the strikers and that
low wages was the cause of the trouble.
We did not ask them to work, but put
the men We brought with us on duty
trying to hoist the anchors. The cap
stan broke after we had been working
for time and we found it useless. We
tried with tackles but could make no
progress and at midnight gave up till
morning. Yesterday morning, while we
were still at 1t, the schooner Surprise
hove in sight and answered our signals.
She towed the pilot boat in. I think
Captain Peattie will slip both anchors,
set sail and try to make port again.
How long it will take him depends on
the winds. I started at in the morn
ing and got in about four in the after
noOn."
The two shore boats that went out
to the Invernesshire were hoisted on
deck and will be brought back in safe
ty. Their occupants had as lively a
row as they ever want to experience,
in getting to the drifting vessel. The
men who returned in the plot boat were
wet with the waves that had splashed
over them, but they had a much bigger
craft than the little shore boats that
went out. There was great anxiety on
| shore among the friends of Captain
| Evans and others when they heard the
| reports of the watchers on the Iwalani
| that the small boats had given up their
| efforts to get to the ship and begun
| trying to pull back.
The Invernesshire was about eighteen
| miles south southwest, when Captain
| Saunders left her, She was in no dan
| ger, except that of losing the anchors.
| and all on board were well. The old
crew, which went on strike, is likely to
make the acquaintance of the police
| as soon as the ship gets in.

LOCAL PARTIES HAVE A CLAIM
TO PRESS.
A Claimant Who Alleges That There
is a Will in Which She is a Bene-
ficiary.

George H. Brown of the Statesville,
North Carolina, bank is not the only
outsider who has come forward to in
terfere in the administration of the es-
tate of the late, D. b. Smith. A con-
test rs threatened in Honolulu, by a wo-
man who claims that the deceased left
Will in which she was named as a
beneficiary. The woman is a half Chi
nese, half native who declares she act
ed as housekeeper for Mr.. Smith for
many years and ii is in consideration
of these services that she puts forward
her claim. Her claim that a will was
left is in line with the positive state
ment contained in the telegram from
the man in North Carolina There is
a will" he stated "If it cannot be
found / am entitled to administration
as the largest creditor"
So far no will has been discovered.
The objection from the States to the
appointment of Cecil Brown as admin
istrator has been filed and If it is heed
ed some weeks will elapse before any
move is made. If the administration
of the estate carried on and no will is
brought to light the local contest is
likely to take the form of a suit for
services rendered, it is stated.
d. b. Smiths estate is valued at about
$40, 900. Kinney, Ballou & McClanahan
and w. A. Henshall have been retained
to represent the contestant. There is
a good representation of Smiths and
Browns in the list of those interested
in the case so far. G. A. Brown sends
a protest to clerk H. Smith against the
appointment of c. Brown to admins
| trate the estate of d. B. Smith.

RAT KILLING DAY.
War on Honolulu Rodents will Begin
Tonight.

The rat war will begin tonight Poi
son is being distributed by the inspec-.
tors today. The following circular oe
the Citizens Sanitary Committee will
explain the plan:
The Citizens Sanitary Committee and
the Board of Health want all rats kill
ed, and furnish rat poison free.
The inspector for your distric' will
give you the poison today. Please set
it about, under, or near your home
every night for a week. Put it away
each morning in a safe place. Keep
your pet animals in the house al night
Show all rats which you may
catch or find dead to your inspector
and he will pay you Is cents apiece foi
them Then burn the rats.
Place a dish of water near each poison
block.
CITIZENS SANITARY COMMITTEE
Rat poison was stacked high in the
rooms of the Citizens Sanitary Com
mittee this morning and is being takel,
cut by inspectors for distribution in
every quarter of the city from Dia
mond Head to Moanalua. There are
twenty blocks of poison in each parcel
Some people put out the poison last
night, getting in little ahead of time
In one down town office a number OF
dead cockroaches were noticed in a
short time. This morning a dead mouse
was found on top of the block, having
not lived to escape from the rim of tho
poison bowl.
Colonel Fisher is sure he has tv ortv
rats in his barn. Poison was laid fol
the pesky rodents. This morning, how,
ever, they were still there and looked
like they wanted to say: you cam
| lose us, Harry" Some birds came
down, pecked at the poison but did no
relish it and flew away. There were in
dications that rats had nibb!ed at th,
poison but had not eaten any amouu
of 1t.
BY tomorrow morning some idea o.
the work of the little blocks can h,
gathered.
The distribution of the poison is beinl
made in various ways. Some inspec
tors personally distribute it throughou
their district, others make use o
their subinspectors. Some of these hir
express wagons to deliver il through
their apanas. Others hire hacks or us
their own vehicles and some carry
around in oil tins on bicycles.

WAR BY TELEPHONE.
How Col. Baden-Powell Conducts De-
fense of Mafeking.

LONDON, February 9.-An interest
ing letter has been received from Col.
BadenPowell telling how he conducts
the defense of Mafeking by telephone.
He made himself a bombproof mound
in the centre of the town.
He says: Here 1 sit in my bomb
proof bureau writing these letters.
Around me is telephone communication
with each one of my outposts. At each
one of the outposts a telescope keeps
constant watch on the BOer outposts
and guns. AS soon as it is seen which
way their fire is about to be directed,
the wire communication sends word and
the bell, with which each defensive
quarter is provided, clangs in that part
of the town where the shell is about to
fall. All in the open at once go to
ground like rabbits"

FIRE THIS MORNING.

The old John Phillips plumbing shop
on Hotel street was burned By the fire
department this morning. Engines
and were out. Though there was con-
siderable breeze from the northeast and
the town was filled with smoke the fire
was in hand and no damage resulted.
The building destroyed was next to
the New England bakery. 1t was put
up by and for the old Hollister Soda
Works over fifteen years. Phillips
moved to it after the fire on King
street near Bethel in 1894.
