committee appointed. and, before leay-

Tesention Camp for Whites.
The president of the Board stated
that he had asked Messrs. Thurstou
and Carter yesterday morning to look
for a location suitable 10 erect quar-
tiers to be used as detention camps for
white people who have been exposed
to plague directly or indirectly. They
first looked az the portion of land along
the Beach road, as suggested In yester-
days Advertiser, which. while Il had
many good features TO recommend &c.
was finally abandoned, as they had
found a better location In close prox-
unity to the detention camp at Kalihi.
upon ground which has already been
acquired by the committee. The plan
was submitted TO President Wood yes
terday morning, and upon his own re-
sponsibility he empowered the gentle
men to proceed with the construction
of the buildings upon the site suggest
ed, which action was unanimously ap-
proved by the Board.
Upon the report of a committe-
which had been sent TO look over tho
City Mill buildings I'm Block 4. the
Board of Health passed a motion TO
the effect that the portion OF the
block used by the mill be excepted from
the condemnation order passed on
Tuesday. This will save the valuable
machinery i'm the buildings.
The pool of filthy water on the You
man estate was ordered drained by the
Board OF Health's agents and charged
to the estate, as nothing had been done
by the representatives of the estate.
Several building permits referred 90
the Board of Health by the Minister OF
Interior were passed upon. The Board
disapproved of the permit to build
within the quarantine district.
Discussion upon the closing OF
churches resulted in deferring action In
the matter.
Three reports from Mr.. r. c. LydeclS-
er, appointed as agent of the Board %

disinfected and placed in a proper San
itary condition. The same rule applied
to the hacks, which. however, were
found in clean condition. The foot
rugs, mats and carpets were ordered
removed from them for the present.
The hack service will not be discontin-
ued under the Boards order.
In regard to the Tramways Company
the following report was made:

We desire to call special attention to
a few of the most Objectionable locah-
ties and believe they should receive the
immediate attention of your Board:
All ponds between Punchbowl street
and the road leading to the Govern

flied with clean earth.
Laniwai and Cook streets, near their
intersection, is a mud-hole and should

Seek Shelter of Harbor.

AAOAOAuANf IL L. JAN AoNhf ArNNs
Seek Shslter of Harbor.
Two requests were received. from the
Wilder Steamship Company In which
they asked immediate action in the
matter of bringing the Kinau and Mo-
kolii into the harbor last night on ac-
count of the indications of a severe
storm arising and endangering vessels
riding at anchor outside the channel.
4 like privilege was asked in the case
OF the schooner Alice Kimball, which
they desired to fumigate as soon as pos
sible. \ similar communication was
received from the Inter-Island Steam
ship Company for the steamers Mauna
LOa, Kauai, Mikahala and Ike Au HOu.
on account of the possible damage
which might result to their fleet now
riding outside the harbOr.
The Board of Health, realizing the
danger, complied with the request, and
telephoned an order to each of the
companies, adding 4 proviso i'm the let
ter order that all the steamers strictly
observe the quarantine regulations
against allowing any one ashore dur
ing the time they remained in the har-
Dor.
Owing to the attitude of the Hilo
people toward the landing of passen-
gers or freight at that port, or. i'm fact,
any other port on Hawaii, the Wilder
Steamship Company asked the privi-
lege of the Board OF Health to lay up
the Kinau in Honolulu harbor until
some changes are made in existing
quarantine conditions. They stated in
their communication to the Board they
would keep the vessel clean during the
indefinite period of proposed quaran-
tine, and would retain only the cap
tain, mate and quartermaster on board,
as they could place explicit confidence
in these men not to break the quaran-
tine regulations. This would be done
in order that the vessel could be called
into service at any moment. The only
objection raised to the proposition was
on account of irresponsible men being
left on the boat to manage her, espe-
cially sailors. who might drop over the
side and swim ashore. However. it was
pointed out that the men designated
were thoroughly reliable, and the re-
quest was granted.
Another communication from the
Wilder Company was read, in which
they desired to transfer the crew Of the
Kinau to other vessels of their feet or
to other vessels not their own, and also
desired TO land them on other Islands.
AS TO the latter request, the question
was raised that It would not be advis-
able at this juncture. The first re-
quests were granted.
President Wood announced the re-
turn of Attorney General Cooper from
Hilo, stating that the latter would fur
nish a written report of his trip and
the incidents of his trouble at Hilo.

agent of the Board Of Health had been
revoked, and at present there is no reg
