JAPANS SPECIAL AGENT THE YACHT ROVER HERE
SENT TO INVESTIGATE FIRE
LOSSES.
Is F. Hlrai, Formerly Here as Eleve
Consul-Wil Report Fully the Facts
AS He Finds Them.

f. Hirai, secretary of the Trade Bu-
reau of the Foreign Department of the
Japanese Government, arrived here by
the America Maru, specially sent to in
quire into, and report to his govern
ment on the question of the losses suf-
fered by the Japanese subjects in con-
nection with quarantine, and the sani-
tary fires, and the accidental fires fol-
lowing them.
Mr.. Hirad was for two years Eleve
Consul to Hawaii when Mr.. Shimamura
was Japanese diplomatic and consular
representative. Since he arrived by the
America Maru his health has been very
bad, and he has been much of the time
in the Queens Hospital. He is recover
ed now, and has been about for several
days He expects to go back to Japan
by the America Maru on her return
trip, March A.
Speaking of his mission here this
morning, Mr.. Hirai said that he had
been sent merely to ascertain and re-
port the facts as he found them. "There
have been very great losss suffered by
the Japanese, for which it is hardly to
be expected that they will be fully COM
pensated. In court they will come as
plaintiffs and have to substantiate their
claims by proof. Kept in quarantine
in Chinatown for days, driven thence
by fire, and then detained for another

very difficult for them to make proof
of all that they have lost. They were
not in a position to look up evidence
at the time when the events were going
on that occasioned their loss. The
government, on the other hand, as de-
| fendant, will not have to make out a
case, though at the same time 1t was
in the best condition to collect and
preserve evidence as the events hap
| pened. At the same time the Japanese
are in no worse plight in this respect
| than any other sufferers by the quaran-
| tine and the fire, oYa any rate in nc
worse plight than the Chinese and Ha-
waiians."
Mr.. Hirars mission had nothing to dc
with the settlement of claims arising
from the exigencies of the situation, ol
the amount of compensation to be al
| lowed. There is, however, a feeling
more or less widespread in Japan, thai
the Japanese in Hawaii are discrimi.
| mated against in the measures adopted
| to stay the plague, and IN the matter
| of compensation to be allowed for theil
| losses. The Japan Gazette, speaking o.
| Mr.. Hirais mission and this feeling
among the Japanese, says
The Yorodzu, referring to this sub
ject, maliciously remarks that 1t is un
fortunate If the present mission doe
not end In a fiaSco such as ATTENDED
the despatch of the Naniwa to Honolulu
when Count Okuma was Minister fo

ARRIVES THIS MORNING FROM
SAMOA.
A Beautiful Pleasure Craft In the Har-
bor-Making a Tour of the Pacific.
Islands.

The we'll known yacht Rover, Cap
tain r. i. Fithian, arrived this morn
ing from Samoa, continuing the cruise
engaged since last September. The
Rover started from Santa Barbara.
California, and has been to most OF
the South Sea Islands. Her last port
of call was Apia, which she left on
February Sth. On the yacht are Mrs.
Ffthiau and G. A. Loughborough Of San
Francisco.
The yacht Rover is a strong little
craft and a quick sailer. She carries
very high masts for her size and
spreads a lot of sail She was original
ly built for schooner for Alaskan seal
ing waters, but was purchased by Mr..
Fithian for a pleasure craft, and well
fitted up above deck and below. Her
cabins are most beautiful and her
decks. rigging and other fixtures are
the best. The Rover is "a feet long, q
feet beam and registers 50 tons. She
is wider in proportion to her length
than the last pleasure yacht seen here
that of the much advertised COrnmo-
Gore Weaver.
The Rover had very rough weather
during most of the trip here and Just
as She was entering the harbor this
morning a heavy squall broke over her.
Captain James Zachary, the sailing
master, put back to wait for a better
time to enter the channel. The Rover
flies the American flag, and the colOrs
of the San Francisco Yacht Club. Cap
tain and Mrs. Fithian will stay at the
hotel during their sojourn in Honolulu.

policeman Thin soue natives with
whom he had previously had trouble
started after him. He fed. They pur-
sued and overlook him, and 1t was then

NOTHING MYSTERIOUS.

The Citizens Sanitary Committee, by
S. M. Ballou, reported to the Board
of Health yesterday that All Hong, cook
for H. C. Phuger, had mysterlously
disappeared, after having been sick for
two days. Mr.. Phuger says the cook
was not sick, and that he did not leave
mysteriously, but that he discharged
the cook, and he got his permit to
change his residence in the usual and
regular way, the permit being issued
by the Citizens Sanitary Committee, on
the recommendation of the inspector of
the district, both the recommendation
and the permit stating that the new
residence is at the corner of Hotel and
Union streets. Mr.. Phuger has written
a letter to the committee, calling at
tention to the fact that the statements
of Mr.. Ballou's letter are falsifed by the
committees own records.

WAREHOUSE PLAN ALTERED
UNITED STATES WILL BUILD AT
WATERFRONT.
Building to Accommodate Business Of
Both Commissary and Quartermas-
ter's Departments.

The war department has changed its
plans, and will build it's new warehouse
and offices at the corner of Fort and
Allen streets, in place of on the drill
shed grounds. This decision was ar
rived at owing to the nature of the title
to the latter property.
The building to be put up will have
a frontage of 120 feet on Allen street,
and so feet on Fort street. 1t will most
likelys be two stories in height, as 1t will
accommodate the business and stores of
both the commfssary and quartermaster
departments. The offices will be on the
Allen street side which Is an important
matter in itself, affording full protec-
ton to the offices from the dust of Fort
street.
This decision of the war department
to put up a permanent building means
that Honolulu is to become an impor-
tant army station. 1t Is the intention
to keep here in reserve at all times,
enough supplies to load one of the larg-
est transports, so that, in an emergency
the army in the Philippines could be
provided from Honolulu without the
transport having to go all the way back
to the Coast. Besides, supplies for the
| local garrison, and for through troops
will also be kept constantly on hand.
| In the absence of a bonded officer of
the commissary department here, Colo
mel Ruhlen is now the head of that de-
partment as we'll as his own. The call
for so many commissary stations in the
Philippines has depleted this depart
ment of officials.
BY the last mail Colonel Ruhlen re-
ceiVed his commission as major in the
regular army. He was a lieutenant
colonel of volunteers during the Span
| ish war.

MAY Be- CASE OF PLAGUE.
CHINAMAN TAKEN FROM IWILEl
YESTERDAY.
Has Bubonic symptoms But is Improv-
ing Under Serum Treatment-Levy
is Again Improving.

Today-Plague deaths, 0; plague
cases, 0; suspicious cases, 0.
The Chinaman taken from Iwilei yes
terday to the plague hospital is con-
sidered very suspicious, although no
positive diagnosis has yet been made
by DR.. Hoffman. This afternoon his
temperature is considerably lower than
last night, apparently denoting a bene-
fetal effect on the part of the plague
serum injected yesterday. The patient
has pronounced swellings and other
strong symptoms of plague.
Mr.. Levy is better today. When DR..
Wood saw him this morning he was
cheerful and apparently felt first rate.
His case has taken another remarkable
turn, the improvement coming about
as suddenly and rapidly as the relapse
of last week. 1t was expected that
some definite statement as to the case
could be made today, but DR.. Wood
said this afternoon II do not see that
we are any nearer q solution of the
matter than we were at first. Unless
there are some marked indications of
some sort I shall very soon publish a
statement detailing the symptoms and
actions of this case. The public can
then judge for itself"
One suspicious case is in the plague
hospital at Kakaako. It is a Chinaman
named Ah Jan, aged 20, taken from the
chinese stables on the Iwilei road near
Oahu prison, yesterday. Dr. Miner, the
attending physician, concluded that the
case was very suspicious, and reported
| it to the Board of Health. At the plague
hospital DR.. Wood and DIR. Hoffman
agreed that the case was quite suspic-
ious. A dose of plague serum was in
jected into the lymphatics and today
| the temperature of the patient is slight
| ly lower At 8 o'clock last night the
temperature was 104.2 2 and pulse 1928.
| The premises at Iwilei were immedi.
ately placed in quarantine by Officer
Fox. The matter of the disposition oi
the property will be discussed by the
Board of Health this afternoon. OF the
case DR.. Wood said this morning: "-
have very little doubt but that it is one
of plague"
There were two other alarms yester
day, but both turned out to be nothint
out of the ordinary.
Saturday Noah Hiram was removed
from a house on South street to the
plague hospital. T4is ailment turned ou
to be malarial fever. He is much bet
